10 Things you should know when you just joined Listnerds
You just joined Listnerds, exciting!
If you're just as excited as I was when I joined, you are probably eager on sending out that first email quickly. But let's talk about this for a minute before you jump into this without thinking some stuff through which you probably can't know unless someone mentioned it to you. Now I know that I want to guide the people that sign up with my ref link as much as I can and want to avoid them making the same rookie mistakes that I (and many others) made when we got started. After all, my vision is to build something together, and that means there's no need for you to make the same mistakes if I can share my experience with you instead. I'm hoping to educate the people in my team (and others reading my content) so that in the future, more people have embraced the blockchain side that's been added since the Listnerds relaunch.
The mailer that doesn't mail
You probably already knew this as you already signed up, but let's just make sure everyone knows this in case they are still wondering if they want to sign up. This mailer is a blockchain-based mailer and doesn't send the emails to your personal email account, instead, you will find the emails in your Listnerds account only when you decide to log in. Every now and then you will find an email from @jongolson in the mailbox that you used to sign up on Listnerds. This is not a daily thing though.
Reading emails & responding
You should just start simple and open the emails that you receive, click on them, if you can or want, you can leave response for the author in case of a Hive blog post that's been shared. This is obviously not always possible, but if it is, I'd highly recommend it and would advise you to mingle with the other members. If you're a Hive member, you already know that "Engagement is key", keep that in mind here as well.
Earning MAIL tokens
To send out emails, you will need MAIL tokens, 1 MAIL means you can send an email to 1 person. As a free member you will receive 5 MAIL tokens per reading email, Premium members will get 25 MAIL tokens per email they read, Business members 35, and last: Enterprise members earn 50 MAIL tokens per email they read. I know you will probably be excited and when you see 250 MAIL tokens, you might think "Let's do this! And start writing an email". Let me stop you there! Don't make this mistake. I will explain to you why in the next paragraph.
Opening rates
The amount of people opening your email is not as high as the number of emails you've sent it to. My experience is that from 1000 emails and up, the results will be more or less the same. But you have to take into account that Listnerds is still building and there will be flaws and things that go wrong, which is the case with every new release. The team is always very supportive so never feel bad to send a support ticket to them if you have something that needs attention. Back to opening rates:
The image above shows you 3 numbers: Mails sent, openings, clicks.
If you do some math, you will see that the number of openings is just 6-7% of the number of emails sent. The Click-Through Rate (CTR) depends on several things, such as the quality of your email. But over time you will notice that sometimes an email just isn't to people's liking or even the best ones have a lower CTR than a less fancy one.
Gather 1000 MAIL tokens at least (edited May 22)
Before you start sending out emails. My advice is to send it to 1000 to 1500 people and make sure it looks pretty. You will probably be forgiven for sending a plain text with a link to a hive post, but why not go the extra mile and make a great impression? There's more you should know, upgraded memberships come with 1000 - 5000 prospects. It means you don't actually have to use your hard-earned MAIL tokens to send an email, you can just fill in 0 right here:
Edit May 22:
We did a test with a team member who has a free membership, and I asked him to send out the email with the currently MAIL tokens he had (666, lol) and see if it would get verified now. I suspected the new voting (score) system that has been implemented weeks ago should be a positive change for free members that don't collect as many MAIL tokens as the upgraded members do, and I was correct. His mail already passed the verification benchmark 12 hours later.
And your email gets sent to your downline plus 5000 others automatically. What's the point of earning these MAIL tokens then, I hear you wonder?
SOLO Mails
These my friend, you will save up until you have 15000, and then you are able to send out a SOLO email that will be verified immediately, meaning it will be paid out the next morning!
Here you will find either a notification that you don't have enough MAIL tokens yet, OR you see the mail editor meaning that you still have 1 SOLO mail token from upgrading to enterprise (1 per month), or you collected 15000 MAIL tokens by opening emails.
Verified emails?
You may feel dizzy by now, reading about mail tokens, opening rates, CTR & SOLO mails, but there's more! To earn a piece of the reward pool, your email needs to get verified. This means you will need a score of 20+ (downvotes will be deducted!) within a week (compare it with payout window on Hive) and once it hits 7 days, you will find a green YES instead of a red NO in the verified table:
You see I have 25 upvotes and 3 downvotes, but that means I have 22 upvotes in total. Once the 7 days window is reached, it will change to a green YES. The next morning, the rewards are divided and you will see how many Listnerds tokens you earned that day.
Limited amount of emails
You can't send out emails unlimited. As a free member, you can send an email once a week. Premium can send an email every three days, business once a day, and finally, enterprise twice a day. This doesn't include any SOLO mails you will send during the month, may they be free from upgrading or collected by reading emails. The SOLO mails are a bonus which you will enjoy!
Voting on emails
To verify the emails, you need to cast your vote in the inbox. Once you read the email, there will be a blue arrow and a red arrow. You can only vote a few times when you haven't staked any CTP in your Listnerds account though, to read how you can make sure that you are able to vote, go here How-To Stake CTP On ListNerds.com. More info about the increased voting power can be found here.
Staked Listnerds
The Listnerds tokens are currently used to earn staking rewards. In the future, the utility will be added. Just be patient and until then, enjoy the sweet staking rewards! You can claim your staking rewards, as well as your email rewards every morning once the timer resets, and claim them with one click. Unstaking them will take 10 weeks and doesn't come in 1/10 chunks, but a full powerdown at once at the end of the 10 weeks. In the meanwhile you won't earn staking rewards over them!
Enough information for today
Hopefully, I answered at least a few of your questions with this post. I will link all my previous parts of Listnerds guides and posts below. You can easily navigate through them by checking the subject lines of the posts. If you found this guide useful and decided to sign up on Listnerds, I'd appreciate you using my referral, meaning that you will be part of my team. For now, this means you will also join a raffle for a cool Stick Up Bosy Music NFT, and get access to my closed discord server where I will be able to guide you directly when needed. We already have an awesome team that has a joint vision regarding our Listnerds journey. I hope to add more of these awesome content creators!

Very simple and to the point. Good advice!
Thanks :) I know it's not all but had to brew an end to it at some point lol
Great explanation on how ListNerds works. Thanks for the post.
Thank you as well!
You did a great post here, putting together all these "10 things", they will be a great help to a whole lot of newbies, guiding them appropriately. Thanks.
you're welcome!
Another great "How to...." guide! Thanks @thisismylife!
Thank you so much!
Great guide, very useful! I've been with Listnerds for a few days now and I don't quite understand how it handles the voting power, does it always add up to 20 per day, regardless of the amount of CTP I have in stake? So far I've been adding CTP a little at a time and I haven't noticed any changes. The bar goes up when I stake the CTP, but it does not change the amount that is filled per day, so I understand that it is not a percentage of what I have in stake. Does it change from a certain amount of staked CTP or it will always fill 20 per day?
I believe it's 25 CTP per vote.. So if you add 100 CTP you should get 4 more votes a day..
etc..
I've been adding small amounts in the beginning as well not noticing any change, but if you do it per 25 CTP you'd be able to see the change..
Thank you very much for your response! I'm going to add some more. I'm just under 100 and I think I'm still getting a new vote a day. maybe it's 20 per 100 CTP? I'm going to do some more research. !PIZZA

Again a great explanation and one that can help many new nerdies to become even more nerdy. And also people who needed to be convinced a bit more.
Thank you, I hope it helps to convince them :)
This is a great resource! Looking over it I'm glad I didnt rush to send out a mail and have just been accumulating the 3 tokens in the ecosystem.
I think all this ListNerds content you've created would be a great ebook!
!PIZZA
Yeah, you know, I think most people make the same mistakes at the beginning, which is fine if you don't mind but why waste your 1 weekly email :)
I'm actually working on that, but more as in how you can join this without having experience as I proved that already. I also consider bundling the guides at some point, but need to cover more aspects before that's the right moment I think.
Thanks for pointing it out though! I'm glad they're considered useful.
You forgot the most important one.
Check Out @amirtheawesome1's Meme compilations
After a week of you joining you should check the aforementioned meme compilation as it offers relatable, funny, edgy, often prevented memes.
Actually, I will add that, as this made many of us listnerds members laugh out loud!
That's really good. Every post teach me a lot. I have a question: I try to get people to my downline but I don't know how. I didn't send any messages yet because of that, cero people will receive it, no?.
Also, I try to find you in Discord but I can't. Appreciate some help.
Keep on the good work
!PIZZA
well, to get people in your downline you will have to promote what you're doing, just like I did with all my guides. The referrals aren't coming for free, you have to work for them! I spent MANY hours writing and connecting for that. If you aren't sharing the link, nobody will be in your downline, correct. I built a team of people to guide them, but as you're not in my team (correct me if I'm wrong) you are supposed to go to the person that referred you for guidance. I'm in the middle of prepping an emigration on short notice and I'm very short on time so can't take this task upon me. This is exactly why you should sign up with someone you know can help you. Good luck!
I see. In my case, nobody referred me, I'm just sing up for my own. That's the reason that I am disconnected from everybody, I think. I going to find the Listnerd Discord to some guidance there. I need to understand the platform before I jump to get people on board. I'm Cuban, so my intention is to focus on the Spanish community, I have not seen a single email in Spanish.
Thanks for the answer and keep on the good work. I read you.

I plan to use Listnerds to help potential readers find my posts and your post was really helpful in laying out the 3 or 4 million different kinds of Mail haha jk, not millions!
I am here from ListNerds ofc, and have read a few of your post before, so it already has helped me find fun people to learn from:)
Glad it was helpful, I just try to write about where I was confused and what would have been helpful when I started using the platform :)
That is a fantastic guide to how Listnerds works, and a great overview, thanks a lot for sharing @thisismylife and stay awesome.

Once again, Nice post @thisismylife
Thanks :) and also for commenting!
Another masterpiece by the Nerdy Legend @thisismylife
Thanks mr :) Have a great Friday and weekend!!!
Well this is pretty much, a must read for anyone new or old to ListNerds!
Thank you so much for sharing it!
Thanks for your support and reblogging it!
I wish I could cover it all, so much things to share lol..
I don't think 1k mail tokens is enough to get your mail verified. At least from what I have seen lately, the open rate isn't really as high as it was in the past due to the increased user base.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This was when I had the premium membership.
And this is from my recent archived ones with enterprise. As you can see, there is actually no difference in the opening rates. I know from my team members who aren't upgraded (or just premium) that with 1000 they can make it. Of course, the content you share matters. I think I also wrote that you can also add 250 or 500 more to be sure in my post.
Here is just a view of my current numbers. I think the open rate has dropped and 1k is no longer a good number for getting verified. The increase in the number of users is probably the reason for this and I am not sure if people gave it a try then quit either.
Of course, it's possible that they just weren't interested in Rising Star and my giveaway.

I'm also going to share this post on ListNerds with my current SOLO. I just gotta.
Thanks for that @jimmy.adames it sure got some sweet attention!
I know I have told you before, but seriously, your Listnerd FYI posts are the greatest! As someone who just dove in and figured it out, I can only imagine the time I could have saved and oops moments I could have avoided with having just this post alone to reference!
Thank you so much for being a Listnerds how-to teacher/mentor/promoter!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the fact that you let me know that they were helpful. And that's exactly why I write them, to save others the trouble, why make the same mistakes over and over again, if someone can guide you.
Thanks for the pizza and enjoy your weekend <3
Great tuto as always 💪
Thank you :)
Great post! Good advice for new or old Nerds!
Thank you :)
Newbies will always be there so worth sending again sometimes..
Thanks for this explanations! To be honest, I think an opening rate of 6-7% is alot! Normal email marketing usually has 2-3%...
I honestly can't compare I have zero experience in the field. But I heard it's great indeed. I bet most openings are from Hive though :) haha
This is very well constructed and great information for newbies. I tend to guide newcomers to your ListNerds posts, since pretty much anything they could ask about, can be found 😊
!CTP
I have a question. I normally use 4000-5000 credits to send mails. But it never gets send out to as many people as I use credits. How can I change this? And why is it like this? Do you have any idea? Or do you know who to ask?
Thanks!
Hey, do you have the premium membership? Because I think that might be the case, as with business it goes to 3000 and enterprise 5000. So maybe it's capped at that for premium currently. Are you in the discord of the CTP tribe?
Yes I have premium right now. Ahh ok.. This is good to know.. Thanks. It doesn´t say anywhere that it´s capped. :/ Would be good to get exact numbers. No I am not in the Discord. Can you link it for me? I could ask there. Thanks!!

I hav the same issue and I submitted a ticket to the support so if I get an answer I will let you know.
Ohh.. Thanks for letting me know! I am sure we will soon understand how it´s calculated. :)
Super useful information! Thanks
LOL, you're welcome!
Thanks, very informative. Good to have a reminder.
EXCELLENT information here -- yes, my CTR is right at 6 percent, but I thought 300 was enough and almost went at 250 ... but 1,500 makes more sense now that you have explained it!
Thank you :) And it's a learning curve. Just keep going, I'm 100% sure you will be fine!
I have been using Listnerds for a month, I've read a few guides and I still decided to read yours to find out the 10 things. Nicely done - thank you.
Ah that's nice thank you. I recently edited to change a few things as this one is still read a few hundred times a month currently. I hope soon I will have time to write all things down and make one complete guide.
Thanks for the support!

Waiting for the part 2, curious what more tips and tricks you have up your sleeve :)
Voted on ListNerds!
Great informations, thank you very much ;-) although for me they come too late ;-) I didnt ask, was curious and sent my first mail to 8 people !LOL
But therefore I had 3 openings and 3 clicks, not a bad rate, dont you think? ;-)
Now I learnd again and tomorrow I can make my second atempt to send a mail to 1000 people.

Great information for New ListNerds. Your post will get them off to a fast start. Thanks for your post.
Silly me, i should have read this when you shared it with me back then but i was too lazy and all the mails seems strange to me but glad i understand everything now and it was interesting to read unlike the first time😃
Haha, no worries, so much to read! But you're doing great!
This is a very good informative post i have just signed up but havent done any posts yet
It should have been helpful, I hope :)
Hey I just got led here by LISTNERDS, again...
And I saw that you have the SOLO mail section still on 10k MAIL for one Solo mail but actually the price went up to 15k MAIL you might want to edit that piece of info
Good point, I wrote an update later, but as I'm here now anyway I will edit it. Thank you!
Done..
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
You always do great posts to help newbies in ListNerds. Thanks for sharing.
