A great day to all Hivers especially those who are on ListNerds!
I think I already lost track of the many first-time experiences that I had since last month. Today, using my avatar in this article is another first-time experience for me. Again, thank you 
At this point, allow me to share first my five-week journey on ListNerds. The biggest lesson I learned is about the misleading pattern that I thought was correct.
After the success of my third email, I mistakenly thought that simply following the pattern of sending more emails will automatically result in a verification. In fact, my 4th email, After My Third Try, received 75 upvotes and gathered 29 comments on Hive, but such a result was not reflected on ListNerds. That’s the reason for my hesitation to continue sending emails. I was thinking that I might be wasting the MAIL I am collecting from opening and reading emails.
The Five Emails I Sent
| Date | Subject | # of Test | Mails Sent | Opens | Clicks | CTR | Upvotes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 March | My First Email On ListNerds | 1st Test | 228 | 12 | 12 | 100% | 7 |
| 17 March | 2nd Test Mail | 2nd Test | 502 | 24 | 22 | 91.667% | 13 |
| 24 March | Something Worthy of Your Time | 3rd Test | 1,570 | 74 | 72 | 97.297% | 20 |
| 01 April | After My 3rd Try | 4th Test | 1,612 | 71 | 70 | 98.592% | 18 |
| 08 April | Death of Western Civilization? | 5th Test | 1,663 | 76 | 75 | 98.684% | 26 |
Seeing the outcome of my fourth email, I was thinking of taking a rest from sending emails for a time until my fund is ready for an upgrade. However, the good thing is that despite that my fourth message was not verified, I decided to just enjoy the ride by sharing an article about a very old lecture by a forgotten Austrian economist. Such a decision was proven correct for my 5th article received the highest upvotes so far.
Without any expectation for my articles to be verified, I finally decided to continue sending emails while waiting for extra cash. The response to my 5th email made me realize that there are people on ListNerds who are curious about economics. Later this day or by tomorrow, I will be sending my 6th email on this game-changing platform!
