I have been a user of ListNerds for just over 3 months now and as a tool to market your brand, blog, or product, it seems to be a no-brainer. I do not have a marketing background but understand the importance of marketing your business online which is what attracted me to ListNerds in the first place.
Let me take a step back there, the fact that ListNerds is a marketing tool built on Hive and is incorporated into the blockchain attracted me to ListNerds in the first place. Why is that important you might ask?
If we review the user experience of a traditional online marketing website versus ListNerds, it should become pretty clear.
We can see with the traditional online marketing experience you are brought to a website where you need to gather "views" (see Nr.1 on the picture above). You need to gather these views so that you can earn a few cents or cover the costs of your own adverts being run.
Each view needs to be a minimum of 15 seconds long and there is usually some tracking there to ensure you watch for a minimum amount of time. (see Nr.2 on the picture above). The type of adverts you see are like those highlighted above (see Nr.3).
Here the advertisers are trying to sell something. What exactly I'm not quite sure but it is obviously nonsense and a total waste of time. There is also the option to sign up with your personal details. Why you would do that here I am not sure as I don't know them and the advert looks sketchy with outlandish promises.
After many similar types of adverts, it becomes clear that you cannot wait to leave this website and do something more interesting. The adverts are of no interest and the products sold do not relate to you at all. There has also been no income or relationship building from using the website.
If we move over to ListNerds, the Blockchain Mailer, and look at the experience it is totally different.
First of all, we have a much nicer user interface. There is no timer counting us down until we have to leave. Instead, we see the view above with sometimes recognisable usernames that we would see on Hive (see Nr.1 above). This allows us to look through for users we may be interested to view and skip those we aren't.
Next (see Nr.2 above) we have the title. Here the person tries to get our attention with a catchy subject line. Perhaps you are interested in just Food, Cinema, Literature, or Gaming. You can choose the subjects that interest you here.
You can also scan (see Nr.3 above) how old the mail is and decide if it is something you want to look at or not.
Finally, you can (see Nr.4 above) there is an upvote/downvote option. This allows you once you have viewed the content to give it a rating and some impact on the person marketing on ListNerds.
Now let us look at the difference in content compared to a traditional online mailer. I picked one at random and opened it up:
Here the person is advertising their blog on Hive and a particular blog post about eating meat. If you are interested in food content and meat you can click further through and visit their Hive blog.
Once on their Hive blog, you can view their content. The person viewing can then decide to leave a comment and engage with the content provider or even give the article an upvote on Hive if it is less than 7 days old. This would then earn both a share of the Hive curation rewards pool.
If the reader resonates with the blog, they can also subscribe and follow them to view future articles outside of ListNerd.
Not only is the user experience better, but because ListNerds is built on Hive, there are benefits for both the person marketing and also the viewer. These include but are not limited to:
- Earn Mail, CTP & ListNerds tokens
- Gain Engagement
- Grow Followers
- Earn Hive Authorship/Curation rewards
- Grow Brand/Recognition within the community

Awesome post Steve!
You broke it out nicely. I am a member of that traffic exchange for years and I basically let my lead capture page with my photo and name make the rounds. No expectations really, but just keeping myself in folk's mental.
That is what we have to do in the off line marketing realm.
What you posted is a great illustration of the power having ListNerds on a blockchain and the HUGE contrast on how much more your efforts is rewarded opposed to the sludge of getting very little out of those type of sites.
I'm actually going to share YOUR post to my subscribers, so they can see it from a self proclaimed non-marketer. Perhaps, reading it from someone else will shake some sense into them lol.

Thanks for your feedback, Jimmy. That is great to hear from an experienced Marketer like yourself. I'm sure there can be benefits to list-building, but I feel the blockchain way is an all-around better experience and rewards us both in a fairer way.

@mypathtofire
Without question, but when heels are dug in and folks are hit with all that is wrong with crypto instead and they are set in their ways with the traditional marketing approaches it's a tough nut to crack.
I followed the right people onto HIVE and that was a game changer for me.
It's always nice to see those have not been in that environment, because "non" marketers have a fresh approach and look at it. Although we are all marketers in a sense.
Oh and I just added a new mail to my subscribers and shared your post!
Awesome Jimmy! Keep spreading the good word and have a great weekend!!

Awesome post bro, you are probably right about that website i would not enter any details there !LOL
You get a lot of that around in marketing unfortunately.
Keep content creating mate and getting that out there if more people do that it will change the landcape online.
Then this kind of rubbish will fade away.😎

Great post and good analysis of the difference between 'normal' mailer and ListNerds. It seems some people are struggling because they probably think, it's a usual mailer like all the others. But it's not!
!CTP
Came from ListNerds and voted there!
Thanks Chris. It's very different to those old mailer-type websites and there are many ways to use it for your own style. !CTP !ALIVE
I used some of them many years ago and I also was a traffic exchange guy. Times and tools will always change and you can't stand still. You have to adapt.
You think it won't go back to these old ways? They are no longer the way forward?
I don't know! Probably not soon. But what if one day emails become obsolete for some reason?
Remember when we all used SMS and now most people use WhatsApp or other Apps. I didn't send SMS for many years.
Look how computers and the internet have developed in the past. We are now talking a lot about web 3.0. When I was a kid there wasn't even internet. I used to surf in mailboxes which you had to call with your modem. I grow up with a walkman, then a portable CD player, then an MP3 player, and now everyone uses their mobile phones to stream from different services.
There is no way back even if you wish.
Great insights Chris. You make some great points and it was the same for me growing up. I remember the time dialing into a BBS! OMG! !LOL !CTP !ALIVE
Excellent review, fam!
We just have to get the crowds here! 🤣

Nice summary, Steve.
It compares apples to apples.
You have successfully shown that ListNerds is in a class all by themselves.

Thanks John. I saw in your interview you are feeling the same with more focus on the blockchain.
!CTP !ALIVE
Yes, Steve. I see much more of a future with Hive than with any other online activity.
I'm thinking it makes sense to focus energy on the blockchain for sure! Do you have any more interviews lined up?
Not at the moment.
I appreciate you watching it.
