Listnerds is this new viral mailer that is linked to the Hive blockchain. It's a place where you can promote your content, be it a landing page or even a hive blog post, to the growing user base of the platform.
In this post I would like to share some tricks how you can get the best return from your activity on Listnerds.
Listnerds is very different from most other mailers. First of all because many users are not internet marketers but bloggers that are active on hive and want to get more views on their posts. Another big difference is that you can actually get an income from your activity on the platform. You get paid for sending e-mails that are verified, you can earn from verifing e-mails yourself and you can get paid for the tokens that you have staked there.
Verify as many mails as possible
You will start on the platform with more or less nothing and the start will be a bit difficult. The first thing you will need is mail credits to send an e-mail. You can get them by reading e-mails yourself. You will get 5 credits for every mail that you read.
In order to earn from reading e-mails however, you will need to verify them and you can only verify a certain amount according to the amount of CTP tokens that you have staked. Without stake, I believe you can verify 4 mails and then 1 more every day.
You don't need to verify a mail to earn mail credits. Just click on the link in the e-mail and then wait until you see the blue and red arrow in your inbox. When this is the case, you will get your mail credits!
When you see that, the reading of the e-mail was confirmed and you earn credits even without upvoting or downvoting
Increase your CTP stake
In the long run, you will want to increase your CTP stake on Listnerds, in order to be able to verify more e-mails and in order to earn passive income from staking these CTP.
You have several options to get CTP
Buy CTP from Hive-Engine markets
The easiest way to get CTP tokens, is to buy them from the Hive-Engine market or even easier, from the Listnerds platform itself.
Get CTP every week for delegating Hive Power
If you are already on Hive, you have the option to delegate Hive Power to the community project @ctpsb. The delegators get paid weekly dividends in the form of CTP tokens. Just delegate your tokens and you get a fresh supply of CTP tokens every sunday.
Write posts with the CTP tag
At it's essence, CTP is distributed for making blog posts on the Hive blockchain. When you use the #ctp tag in the five first tags of your posts, your content will be visible on the front-end https://ctptalk.com/. In addition to that, your post will be earning CTP tokens.
Create your own CTP economy to boost your activity on Listnerds
As I said before, staking CTP on Listnerds will allow you to earn passive income just from doing so and will also allow you to verify a bigger quantity of e-mails. However that is not all...
You can actually purchase mailing credits with the CTP token and profit from a 10% discount for doing so.
Imagine now that you create a post on Hive using the CTP tag, maybe about your activity on Listnerds. You then use the mail credits that you have accumulated and you promote this post on Listnerds.
Most of the people on Listnerds have CTP tokens and they have a Hive account. The chances are big, that you will get some decent upvotes in Hive and CTP. After 7 days, you will get those CTP tokens on your account. You can now repeat this every 7 days. With every post you will earn some CTP tokens. You can even add more tags to your posts and then swap the tokens that you get for more CTP.
For the first couple of mails, I would suggest that you stake the earned CTP on Listnerds, to be able to verifiy more e-mails and get more passive income.
Add some leverage
Imagine that you have done the steps above for several weeks. You probably now have enough CTP staked on the platform to verify a bigger amount of e-mails. Now, you go one step further and you purchase 1000 mail credits with the CTP tokens that you have earned with your posts. Your next e-mail will have a much bigger reach. This means that you will probably have more views on this e-mail and probably also more upvotes and earnings.
The other big advantage is that you might getting closer to reach 20 verification from sending your e-mail. The more e-mails you send, the more chances you have to get verified and to earn Listnerds tokens from your mails!
You can go on like that and maybe soon, you will be able to purchase even more e-mails and you will slowly grow your passive income from Listnerds and also your income from posts.
Of course, you will need to write content that people are interested in and you need to be consistent. You can even start to write more than one post per week and then you keep the best posts for the mailings.
Listnerds can have a big multiplicative effect for your activity and it can really help you also to kick start your blogging career on Hive.
