I shared the above chart eight days ago in my post [Testing How the ListNerds Platform Work](https://hive.blog/hive-119826/@rzc24-nftbbg/testing-how-the-listnerds-platform-work). That was my third test to figure out how the ListNerds platform work. I think though not so precise, the consistency of the pattern remains that as the sender increased the number of emails he is sending, the rate of opens, clicks, and upvotes are also increasing. And so, this is the final outcome of my third test:

|Date|# of Test|Mails Sent|Opens|Clicks|CTR|Upvotes|
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|
|10 March|1st Test|228|12|12|100%|7|
|17 March|2nd Test|502|24|22|91.66%|13|
|24 March|3rd Test|1,570|71|69|97.183%|20|

As you can see, my third test was successful! With 20 upvotes, finally, my email has been verified! Thank you to all Hiveans and ListNerdians who supported my content! More blessings to you! (Meaning more CTP and LISTNERDS!).

I also mentioned in my above post about my goals to accumulate 5,000 CTP and 100 LISTNERDS. To accomplish these goals, I planned to start buying 700 CTP and 25 LISTNERDS in the first week of April. 

Today is the first day of April. I actually went ahead of my planned schedule. I think three to four days ago, I already bought 25 LISTNERDS plus I received another 25 from the random rewards. So, I already have 50 plus LISTNERDS including the tokens I received from the daily airdrop. 
  
# CTP

As for CTP, grateful for @bradleyarrow’s gift of 100 plus the 200 I bought, and so I initially, had 300 plus. However, during the past few days, I keep adding a small amount of CTP until I reached that 700 goals.

Moreover, as part of my daily routine, opening leodex.com this morning, I saw someone selling 51.559 CTP at 0.1321. That to me is a bargain price. Knowing the price discrepancy of CTP between leodex.com and ListNerds, I immediately paid 0.681094 worth of HIVE to buy that CTP.  

And then I went to ListNerds to stake the CTP I bought. I noticed that there was already a reward waiting to be claimed. I claimed it and staked it together with the CTP that I just bought. And so, I was able to increase my staked CTP to 811.693. I need 4,200 more to reach my 5,000 goals. 

# LISTNERDS

After completing the transaction with CTP, I immediately checked my LISTNERDS wallet expecting 1 token airdrop for today. To my surprise, instead of 1 token, I saw 35.480 waiting to be claimed. I was wondering where did this quantity of LISTNERDS come from? There were no “shaky-shaky” random rewards today. And I don’t know anyone to send me such a gift.

I got curious and checked all the tabs under the Dashboard. When I clicked the Mail History tab and saw the 34.507 earned LISTNERDS from my third test email, I was speechless.

This reminds me of my conversation last night with @thisismylife. I commented on her post [My Hive Goals Update # 9 ](https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@thisismylife/my-hive-goals-update-9#@rzc24-nftbbg/re-thisismylife-2022331t45237866z)about the kind of opportunity LISTNERDS is offering to all Hivers:

> *Same token here but on a far lower level in terms of quantity. With the ongoing airdrop, with just 50 staked LISTNERDS receiving 1 token per day, to me that is already unthinkable. If my calculation is accurate, in a month, that's a 60% return and in a year that's 720%. How much more if one will continue to add and stake his tokens? Due to limitations in budget, my original goal was just to stake 100 but seeing this great opportunity, I might change it to 500.*

And then she replied that she felt exactly the same way I felt when she received 0.5 or 1 LISTNERDS a day for staking them. And then she encouraged me and provided me the perspective saying that based on her experience this thing 

> *. . . will go faster and faster as you keep compounding it, and soon you will see the growth per day and think WOW, not too long ago it was 1 a day . . . now it's X a day . . .*

I never expect that what she said will happen to me this early. The 60% return I was expecting just more than doubled. It's actually 128% already and the one month period is still not done yet. This is simply amazing!

Imagine that this growth is happening even with a free account. How much more if I will do it the proper way such as upgrading my account and watching the tutorial videos. 

# A Revolutionary Platform

I share the same idea with those who think that ListNerds is a revolutionary platform when it comes to email or online marketing since the day it utilized the power of blockchain technology. With this adoption, a new mix of incentive mechanisms has been introduced, the combination of Proof-of-Mail and Proof-of-Stake. With this newly launched protocol, compounding growth that is unimaginable in traditional finance appears just normal like the one we are witnessing right now on ListNerds.   

With an incredible platform like ListNerds, I now understand why both @taskmaster4450 and @bradleyarrow aren’t anxious about their emails being verified or not. It looks like the pressure to sell something is non-existent. This is understandable for there are at least three ways to earn rewards on ListNerds: email verification rewards, staking rewards, and random rewards. 

Grace and peace!
