Ok, so just like a bunch of us, I'm what 
Here is a post by Jon: 3 Reasons Why Hive May Fall In Love With ListNerds...
If you have heard of it, but can't make heads or tails of it, the amazing 
I wish I had the talent to break it down and present it the way they did.
As for myself, I became a member of HIVE by way of CLICK TRACK PROFIT and that was because of wanting to improve my online marketing skills and in turn, I was shown a whole other spectrum that is blockchains, crypto and this amazing community.
I had tried online marketing years ago and gave it about 5 years and it was definitely a wasted effort, but I try to be a positive person and just look at it as a learning experience. Out of that experience, I followed Jon and a lot of what he preached, resonated and when I came back to try it again about 2 years ago; I made sure to follow his lead.
It's crazy, but when I left and came back after years away; I was still a member of CTP. This time around, I upgraded my membership and haven't looked back; especially with HIVE becoming an important factor in our daily activities.
With that said, I was doing my own thing outside of CTP. I have been promoting a handful of viral mailers and a group of five of them belong to the same owner and have done very well with them. Not only promoting it, but I was promoting something that I actually was getting results from.
I have hundreds of downline members at a couple of them, have made commissions that I used to reinvest in some ad packages, but on HIVE š it doesn't hurt that he pays the commission in crypto.
But, just like a lot of this stuff; there is this mentality that doesn't go away. The folks that we are promoting to, seem to be - well - the same. Ok, here is an analogy, from my growing up in the ghetto mentality. You can put this into any context that resonates.
It's like growing up with your crew when you hanging on the streets, drinking, smoking, partying and then that crew starts dwindling down, because they grow up. They mature. They get married, they get jobs, they start their own legitimate businesses (ahem), but they leave the hood.
Then there are those that you can go back today, after years and years and they are still hanging in those same streets. They never outgrew it. They are still stuck in a vicious cycle to nowhere and here is the kicker - they complain about it and blame everyone else, but themselves; for their failures and why they didn't get out of that environment.
Well, it's crazy to think; that when I came back - not much had changed. I mean not much at all. That was a bit disheartening. Nevertheless, I came back with a mission and nothing was going to stop me.
I stayed consistent and do the things that honestly still work. I build lists and made sure that my face and name was in rotation at as many ad and traffic sites as possible. Folks noticed and told me constantly - "I see you everywhere" - the best compliment I received in this business, ever. Yes, I consider that a compliment.
Sorry, about me rambling on; but when I post something; my goal is always to have the reader get to KNOW ME.
Wait a minute. Think about that.
So, just like CTP; I was a member of ListNerds for many years and I won't lie; never put as much effort into it as other mailers. I was oblivious to the power of it even before it became a blockchain mailer.
But, now it is the first blockchain mailer and folks; it has changed the game.
Here is the kicker! I actually believe it's a mailer second and an engagement tool first. A HIVE engagement tool!!
Those totals above are 5 HIVE posts, where I use the ListNerds mailer platform to create engagement at those posts.
ON THE BLOCKCHAIN!!!
These following comments are from fellow members who agree with me:
"Absolute madness on my end!!
Trying to upload an image but I'm seeing an average of around 85% CTR.....Crazy!"
š¤
"I agree Listnerds is great. I am averaging about a 96.38% CTR which are numbers that I have never seen before either from myself or other email marketers. Listnerds is definitely that new thing everyone has been looking for."
š¤
"My most recent mail had an almost 93% CTR. That is unheard of--or was, until Listnerds!"
š¤
"List Nerds has been the shot in the arm that we all needed. My last email has over 90 opens and a click-through rate of 96%. there isn't another mailer on the planet that can claim those numbers, and none can reward you like ListNerds can (100 banner views here,1c there)
Exciting and exhilarating times!"
š¤
"These are what need to be promoted out to the non-hive users.
Of course, it might be a level that people believe to be untrue. Data is vital. If people can keep showing these click through rates, ListNerds has a huge future."
š¤
There are some more, that I can inundate this post with.
Here is the best part for me that hopefully resonates with anyone who is going to join ListNerds, who are still making the same mistakes, etc.
I just deleted 7 automated messages in the ListNerds system. I had them in there for a few months and although, I was having some success with them, off chain; they were not making the impact I showed above.
Ok, so I can get sign-ups to my list, add folks to my downlines and make some extra income; but those are temporary. We as marketers are here for the long haul, so we need to approach our businesses as if you are in; long-term and not out to make a quick buck.
So engaging with folks, growing organically will prove to be the ultimate long-term solution. If the likes of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter hasn't proven that by now - folks are truly not paying attention.
So before I go, I deleted those 7 messages and I had already decided I was going to do that; because my strategy was to go more on the engage approach and this was actually my thought, before ListNerds 2.0 - this re-launch was the greatest timing ever! for me!!
But, this may affect some folks or not. I look at things as not everyone is going to like you, your message or what you are about; but we test and track as marketers for a reason. To get shit right.
Here is a snapshot of email results I sent through the ListNerds system:
Ok, you see those with downvotes? Old approach emails.
Now, I still feel good about the amount of upvotes for them; but it is telling and there is something that is turning folks off.
From the snapshot above and those that generated the engagement based on how my email invited the engagement were:
How is Your CTR, Nerd?
Help Luke the List Builder, Solve the Puzzle
Why Are You Clicking For Pennies, If This is Possible?
Adversity if a Bit*ch, But We Must Strive in it
Are You Commemorating Your First ListNerd Solo?
In those 5 emails, I tried something different or pointed to something different without trying to pitch or sale a damn thing and that felt fricking awesome!
It's safe to say, if you are on the HIVE platform; that there is some entrepreneurial path you were on that got you here - as many of us; so using this engagement tool has ALL kinds of possibilities with getting more engagement on your posts or getting folks to your posts. You don't earn anything Tweeting about it š
