Community Challenge - Use ListNerds to Market LeoFinance

almost 3 years ago

I've been thinking about writing this post for a few days but I've been a bit busy. Balancing my insane life with keeping up with Hive is hard at the moment, but know that I am here. I don't plan on leaving. I have to keep pushing forward. All these posts lately by a lot of different people about Cub Finance and LeoFinance have really got me thinking.

LeoFinance Needs More Internal Marketing

If you've never used or heard of LeoFinance, it's a frontend for Hive that has its own token known as LEO. My hope is that you've arrived here from ListNerds by clicking on my mail, but if not that's cool too. Obviously, to grow as a platform, LeoFinance needs to be marketed to people on different social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This is key for growth as the majority of those users have never heard of blogging to earn crypto. It's a tough thing to get someone's attention long enough to convince them to start blogging on a platform not widely well known like Hive, let alone LeoFinance. I do think that the Leo team is doing an excellent job with creating a presence on Twitter, Facebook, and even TikTok. The marketing is going to continually grow and get better outside of Hive. It might sound silly to even say it to some, but hear me out here. Marketing LeoFinance to the rest of the Hive users is also very important.

The Leo team obviously recognizes this as they've been doing an amazing job incentivizing people to write more about their platforms. They even started sharing the top LeoFinance posts right at the top of Hivestats. Hivestats is an incredible tool for Hive users to track their account and analytics. I highly recommend checking it out, but anyway... Back to my point here. Focus. There's so much opportunity being created by the Leo team with Cub Finance's new version launching soon and their bridge to BNB chain. In order for LeoFinance and everything in its ecosystem to grow, there needs to be more buzz all over Hive. The odds of an existing Hive user logging into LeoFinance for the first time is drastically higher than someone who has never blogged before. That's just human nature. People are skeptical and don't want to try new things. Especially if they have no experience blogging or doing anything with crypto. So my idea is to try and get people using ListNerds as an internal marketing tool for LeoFinance.

Enter ListNerds

ListNerds is a blockchain based mailer on the Hive blockchain. Before it relaunched, I had never even considered using any kind of email marketing. In my mind it was just something I had never thought about. I didn't realize how powerful of a tool it really is when you have an organic mailing list. This is something that makes ListNerds powerful. Not only do the users need a Hive account, but they also get incentivized to open your mail. Crazy, right? ListNerds users are able to read marketing emails from Hive users that can be pretty much anything. If they choose to upvote or downvote that mail, they earn CTP tokens as well as MAIL tokens, which can be used to send their own mails. The more CTP your account has staked within ListNerds, the more CTP you can earn by voting on mails. Simple enough? Cool. Go to ListNerds now and sign up to get a free airdrop of LISTNERDS tokens. I've been using the platform since resurrection and I've personally only sent out 3 emails, none of which have been verified.. yet. But look at the click through rates! If you can manage to get 20 upvotes, your mail gets verified and you can earn some of that sweet, sweet LISTNERDS tokens so I've just gotta get better at this.

Clearly people are clicking on these mails. As I said, I've never done anything like this before so I'm proud of how many clicks they're getting. The ListNerds audience is also very small so as more people start using the platform, the larger your potential reach. My most recent one was about LeoFinance and despite only getting 14 clicks, that's 14 potential new users to the LeoFinance platform. Imagine in a Leo whale was to start sending out LeoFinance marketing mails. The more MAIL tokens you use to send the mail, the farther the reach as well. So I need to get better at writing these emails and theoretically I will be able to market LeoFinance more effectively. Because at the end of the day, the more users get into the LeoFinance ecosystem, the better it is for all of us. That's just one more user creating valuable content, voting, and potentially investing. So not only can you earn LISTNERDS and CTP by using ListNerds, but you can also earn LEO by posting from the LeoFinance frontend. This is all in addition to the HIVE and HBD you'll earn from blogging by default. So many ways to earn. So many opportunities.

Challenge: Send out at least 1 LeoFinance marketing mail via ListNerds.

If everyone on LeoFinance somehow saw this post and sent out at least one mail leading people back to LeoFinance, we could potentially see a ton of growth. I wish I had enough money to offer a prize, but I don't. If you have a WAX wallet and comment proof of sending a LeoFinance related mail via ListNerds, I'll drop you a random free NFT. Bonus points if you link back to this post in your post :)

Thanks for reading! Much love.
