ListNerds...Our Big Blockchain Bet!

The Relaunch  Evolution of ListNerds.png

As we announced last week, we're gearing up for a January 13th launch if a project we've been working on (in theory) for years...

For those that may not know my history, my partner (@blainjones) and I come from...The ugly and sometimes suspect world of affiliate marketing. Don't get me wrong, we love online marketing and think it's some of the most creative forms of advertising and marketing on planet earth but let's be honest.

It's got a reputation, sometimes very well deserved, of being a place where the schemers and scammers lurk.

One of the biggest reasons we've been pulled to build our affiliate marketing businesses on Hive is the fact you can't 'hide' here. Meaning if you say you are paying someone some commissions via crypto, the blockchain will verify it. If someone is claiming they are making a million bucks over night from the latest greatest program, the blockchain and confirm it...Or deny it!

You have to be upfront here and that's something we've always thought was lacking in traditional affiliate marketing. Too many 'marketers' essentially trying to separate you from your hard earned money.

So the mission was simple for us...We wanted to bring the things we love about affiliate marketing to the blockchain, and make sure the ugly stuff never came here in the process.

And on January 13th, 2022...Our dream will be realized!

ListNerds.com is one of our most popular products online...And for those that may not be familiar with this kind of marketing tool it's called a 'viral mailer' or another term used is a safelist.

The idea is, the membership agrees to receive each others marketing messages and the best written, most attractive emails get the best results...

The problem with this model is that even though they have been around for over 20 years...They have basically remained the same. Commercial scripts, copy and paste plug ins, same old, same old...Nothing new or innovative for years and years.

And we always thought to ourselves...

Why not, build a 'mailer' on the blockchain!

We'll be able to 'verify' good mails through upvoting and downvoting, and reward members for taking part in the verification process. And thus was born what we're calling...Proof-Of-Mail!

(Here is an image of our game plan from the short white paper we drafted last week)

Our thought is this...

People HATE just receiving email for the sake of receiving email...So let's incentivize it. If the members of ListNerds are excited to receive email and help verify how effective the messages are, we see an increase in conversions for our senders!

Senders are happy, receivers are happy...And 'stakers' are happy as well!

Which brings us to the brand new LISTNERDS token!

In the old model of viral mailers, the only party that seemed to benefit from the emails was the sender. And if they weren't writing a masterpiece, results we very low. Receivers couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the messages so they ended up in junk folders and never opened or read.

(A screenshot of the new upvote/downvote verification inside the members inbox!)

We think if you incentivize the receiving part of this, everyone all of a sudden has a vested interest in making sure these emails are read, acted upon and even improved!

So now you can get results from sending better, verified emails but also through staking and taking part in the validation of all the messages inside the system!

It's Never Been Tried Before...

Part of being an entrepreneur is trying things! Some things fail miserably, while others might take a few tries to get right...And we think ListNerds is being relaunched at the perfect time for the viral mailer and safelist industry!

Will this be a smash hit?

We're betting it will be! And while a lot of Hive community members may be scratching their head as to this entire side of the internet they may have never knew existed, we're going to be promoting this to the entire ListNerds community - Over 31,000 members!

And guess what they all will need to take part in this exciting new rewards platform...A Hive account :)

We have step by step tutorials designed to onboard as many ListNerds members as possible and to make it as easy and straight forward as we can.

If they really start a deep dive into Hive, we can always send them to The Hive Guide too ;)

So here we go....

January 13th is a little over 2 weeks away, and we're pumped up for this relaunch. First for the fact that it's something completely new in the mailer industry and heaven knows that place needs a shake up...But also for the fact that we get to continue our mission of promoting and introducing as many people as we can to...

The greatest blockchain online :)

Amazing Idea...
Also, I believe this can be tied up to Companies that do accept Crypto for payments which would then give this even more depth and a way to make a new standard that there is another option besides fiat...

Besides...I am a believer and straight went for a business account...

Thats why we built HivePay as well. We feel entrepreneurs need to look at getting away from traditional fiat, slowly at first of course lol

Absolutely...there is unfortunately a ridiculous wall in setting up a hive account...and the initial hoops to jump just to setup an account and payment are not something people are capable of doing...yet..

Btw how would we know if the email has been sent out? Where would we be able to see the status of the sent emails?

Perfect...it took me some time to find the CTP Commission Integration Key...a video on how to get that on listnerds would really help out...

Also How do you ensure the accounts get their tokens...I mean there is connection with Hive Blockchain...only common thing is email or username...is there a criteria here that has to be met?

It sounds like you got a lot of people lined up. Just wondering, what does the upvote/downvote button do to a mail?

A mail needs 20 'upvotes' to be verified so the sender gets a share of the rewards pool. So the better the person is at crafting emails, the quicker their email gets verified and they get rewarded.

The concept is good. But how many will adopt it that's a question.
Surely, people confortable with crypto will jump on it. But its the non-crypto guys who still think its not real, will be the tricky ones. They want to stick to traditional ways.
Anyways, all the best.

Yeah that's always the challenge with doing something new. Early adopters will jump on board...A lot will stay on the side lines.

In 2022 I'm reviving my email list and info product sales game.

So I'm certainly intrigued by how this is going to work in practice.

Bring it on :)

I can't express enough what pioneers you guys are. I noticed that online people are crazy about copying what someone else is doing. You always have a way of taking an existing idea and making it next level.
I think this action will be a great merge of Affiliate Marketing (not ugly)(spammers = ugly) and the Hive Blockchain. I currently have 5 ListNerds Tokens, and over 1100 CTP with plans to purchase more.
Purchasing my upgraded membership in HBD is also in the works, just need a few more sales to post :-D
