10 things you should know when you just joined Listnerds.png

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!
