Starting from scratch on Hive is not easy.
In fact, you can find a lot of excuses for not starting this journey.
- The learning curve is high (If you don’t have a technical background).
- You have no audience so it can be difficult to get engagement on your posts.
- You have no Hive Power, so you don’t get curation rewards at the beginning.
- You may not have money to invest in a blockchain you don’t really understand.
- If you have never blogged before it can be scary to expose your thoughts to the world.
- English may not be your first language so maybe you lack confidence in your writing skills.
Let’s be honest, it's a grind (especially at the beginning)!
In this blog post, I want to show you that all the excuses stated above are now irrelevant because of…LISTNERDS
You can literally start from nothing here and build your way up.
Listnerds is the accelerator Hive needed to successfully onboard more people.
New users can start building their personal brand by blogging more efficiently than before.
Let’s focus on the 3 things people usually struggle with when they start on Hive: Engagement, Money, Knowledge
Engagement
People who have been here for years can tell you how it used to be very difficult for a beginner to get noticed on Hive because there are a lot of posts getting published every day.
Do you see this? It’s the engagement I got on my first post on Hive! Just talking about a game I love.
I promoted the post on Listnerd and a lot of people commented on my post.
Usually, when you start it's hard to get any engagement because people don't know you yet and they don't follow you.
Now let me show you the second post that I wrote…
This is the power of ListNerds ! Crazy right?
There’s no secret, no hack.
All I did was read every single email in my inbox and comment on people's posts when it was promoted on Listnerds.
After a while, they start to notice you and show you love back when you post something.
Are you able to read an email and post comments on someone else's post ?? Yes.
Everybody can do it, even you! No excuses.
Engage with people and they engage with you back, it's as simple as that.
Since I've been here, I have met a lot of amazing people.
It’s really a beautiful community full of very kind people so even if you’re not confident about your writing style, show up as much as you can. People will welcome you and appreciate your efforts.
Money
When I get into a project, I like to grow things organically.
I may put some money at some point to speed things up but I try to not put money before I don’t fully understand what I get into.
I also tend to get more pleasure when I put in work instead of money to grow things.
That’s what I did with ListNerds, I started with the FREE plan.
It took me a few days to get 2000 mail tokens (you get 5 of them after reading an email).
Then I shoot my first mail, this is my results :
21 listnerds tokens...it's 42 Hive for 1 mail!
You can add to that :
Author’s rewards I got on the post.
CTP I got from upvoting people mails and stacking
Listnerds tokens I will get every day now through staking.
Do you think that’s a lot for just one post and one mail? Wait! There's more!
Now you get CTP and Listnerds token randomly airdrop to you just for reading email!
Can you see where it can get you if you repeat this process a few times per week? Or even better every day?
If you want to do this more often, you’ll need to upgrade your plan…but remember you’ve just earned some money so you can invest now. You don’t have an excuse anymore.
That’s what I did by upgrading my plan to premium and I'm targeting Enterprise for next month.
Knowledge
The amount of useful information you can find on Hive is unmatched!
The good thing is that people usually make an effort to post information in a digestible way, even for non-technical people like me.
If you don’t understand all the basic stuff, don’t worry people got your back :
Learn everything related to Hive and marketing thanks to the CTP community
Learn everything related to crypto and finance thanks to the Leo finance community
Learn the basics of Listnerds thanks to @thisismylife
A lot of members promote their work directly in your inbox every day on ListNerds.
Are you able to read a post? Again, you have no excuses.
The team behind Listnerds is working very hard to make it really easy for us to start and thrive on Hive.
I’ll try to make them proud by supporting Listnerds and showing up on Hive as much as I can. I hope you’ll do the same.
If you're new to Hive, I hope my experience will make you realize Listnerds can help you a lot to start your journey.

Your post is inspiring, especially to the newbies, giving hope and encouragement that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but one must first do the necessary homework and follow important steps and he will get there, thanks.
Yes, exactly man!
If you use the right tools and you stay consistent, you literally cannot fail here. That's what's amazing with Web 3.0.
Thank you for stopping by 😉
Nothing to add, it's exactly the post I need to share with some people here to convince them that it is possible, WITHOUT investing money. It's all about persistance and dedication!
Yeah, it's really amazing. Getting the rewards during the process is a game-changer.
I can't imagine how many people start blogging or a youtube channel and stop after a while because they get no engagement at the beginning.
Systems like listnerds make it possible to be involved without investing money and keep people motivated to push forward. Double Win!
Thanks for stopping by 😉
ListNerds is really great. I've been enjoying the experience. Still learning how to write good mail.
Glad you enjoy it.
I'm sure Listnerds gonna improve our copywriting skills too. There's so much to learn on this platform, I love it.
Thanks for stopping by 😉
Thanks for the shoutout :) I'm glad I could help!
Your work is impressive. Totally deserve a shoutout 👍
Thanks for stopping by 😉
Listnerds is one more fabulous product from a dynamite team at CTP.
It really is. They're doing a fantastic job!
Thanks for stopping by 😉
I like that!
Wow! That's great!
You are just one month ahead of me joining Hive, but your progress is amazing. I think ListNerds really played a big role in your growth.
I !LUV it!
(1/1) gave you LUV.
H-E tools | connect | <><
LUV in the dark? The confirmation-reply may soon be turned off. This would be to conserve and replenish Resource Credits. Even while operating in the dark, your LUV command will still go through as usual. You can always monitor LUV in your wallet, at explorer A or at explorer B, or best, in real time at the luv-log channel on Discord.
Tap to help.
Yes!!
Listnerds really gave me the motivation to get out there and start putting in the work.
My account has been created in July because I play Splinterlands but I didn't even know about all the stuff that is happening here until late 2021 🤣
Thanks for stopping by 😉
Almost the same case here. I started playing Splinterlands in August last year, stumbled with LeoFinance after a few months, but I just began exploring layer 2 tokens beginning the first week of February this year. It was then that hearing @jongolson in one podcast got me interested in CTP. Only just been less than a week since I see the connection between CTP and ListNerds.

When I see a very cool post like yours I would normally share it with Jon and Blain in our private chat but this time I don't need it! I'm sure that they will come eventually because...well..they know where to find you! You sir are a Nerd 🤓😋
I'm really happy that ListNerds is performing in a very positive way, in fact, in a variety of ways like you mentioned! We will do our best to keep it that way!
Merci beaucoup :)
!PIZZA
I'm so grateful for you guys' work!
Listnerds is creating so many opportunities for people, it's amazing. We're still small but I have no doubt people will soon realize what's possible for them here thanks to Listnerds and Hive.
Thank you very much for your hard work 💪 and for the pizza 😉
@donpapy beast mode 💪🏽🤓 the proof is in the puddin’
Following the path you guys made 💪
Your mail brought me luck. I got the blue buzz when I read it 😄
great post. I've only just started my journey with listnerds and hive (restarted actually since i joined before it was on hive), so am in that exact position of starting at the bottom you describe. It is a bewildering experience with so much information to assimilate, but i dont see this journey as a sprint, so i intend to take it slow and steady and take my knowledge to the next level and beyond
Yeah, you're totally right. Take your time, build relationships with people, and post content. The hardest part is to stay consistent.
You got this man!
Looking to see your posts soon!
Thanks for stopping by 😉
This sounds corny...But thank you for 'getting it'. There are times we ask ourselves if we made the right decision to bring this kind of platform to Hive and the industry as a whole...
Reading posts like this, we appreciate it and it makes our job so rewarding. Thank you!
To be honest with you man if you guys didn't start Listnerds, I'm not sure I would have started blogging.
I would have invested some money because I believe in Hive a lot but would not go further.
Listnerds is everything web 3.0 should be.
Your work is creating so many opportunities, I have no doubt it will change the life of a lot of people in the future.
They just need to realize what's in front of them.
Thank you again for your amazing work 💪
Great post, @donpapy. Keep up the excellent content and passion.
Hey thank you! I try to keep up with you guys 😄
I think Listnerds has been quite amazing so far and I also believe it is one of the best tools for people starting off to use. It brings in people and that is a huge benefit to getting more eyes on your post.

Thanks for stopping by 😉
Ooh, I love this post! It's all about putting in the hard work, persisting, and trying stuff out even if you don't have experience in it. I think you are going to go super far if you keep crushing it with your awesome style.
I started on Hive over five years with no blockchain or blogging experience whatsoever and have been grinding away ever since, I beyond love this community, and I absolutely adore the Listnerds community too. The engagement and energy is amazing!
Wandered over here from Listnerds by the way, double upvotes for you!
Thank you so much for these kind words, I really appreciate it.
Hive is such a nice place to be right now. Amazing people, great projects and so many opportunities! I love it here too.

That's awesome! I'm on it too. I find your post in my inbox. I'm still new and only a reader for now but I already wining.
That's great man! Take your time and when you feel confident enough start sending those emails. You'll not regret it 😉
Looking forward to reading from you soon on Listnerds
You have picked up a new follower, and I am also a fan of Listnerds, and enjoy the rewards. Did you know the more you have staked the bigger your rewards in listnerds and ctp?
Hey thank you, I followed you back 😉
Do you mean the staking rewards? if so yes but if you mean the rewards from the pool when your mail is validated, I didn't know that.
You're on the right track Michael! It must be way more difficult these days than when I joined, with so many options to pick from. Back then we had the poor interface the blockchain devs had put together much like a joke and 2 tokens: HIVE and HBD.
great post. I am so glad LostNerds os working so well for yoy. Thanks for sharing/
