What is up my wonderful fellow HIVERS?!

![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/images/d1ce20766d5539d3937258d386db6258/tenor.gif)

Are you pumped on this Turned Up Tuesday?!

I tell you what, I am; but I'm dragging a bit. I mean, I had a great workout today and the template suited me well; because it felt compact and simultaneously crush mode level. I'll expand on it on my @actifit post later, but glad to have put in the work early in the morning and I definitely look forward to rest day tomorrow.

My energy level is usually on the upper side of the !hell yeah!, but there are days, I need to search of the energy; but thankfully I'm so accustomed to it, that it is so hard to find. 

Before I headed out to my workout, I took a peek at my [LISTNERDS](https://listnerds.com/@jimmyadames) status and had a nice claim amount:

![claim 04.12.22.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jimmy.adames/242YWqFYCf484RTGsdN5HBD7zRYqFDmDgvwAHAp7Pjb6GXkAdvN98k7u3mUa2StztYMat.JPG)

and continue to hang on to the top spot on the ***ListNerds Richlist***, which I do not take lightly:

This post is not about my numbers, but it's always to encourage others, to motivate, to see what is possible; with activity, consistency and effort. The best part about this wave of positive results for me stems from believing in the ListNerds relaunch very early on. 

I was already a member off-chain for years and although I didn't remain an upgraded member back than, it's only; because I was still teetering on what direction, I was going to take with my online marketing rebirth.

My success with the previous format was ok. I mean, I was not getting many subscribers; but it was doing wonders for getting a much better perspective on what subject lines were working, what I was promoting and my consistency using the platform.

I actually was taking that data and putting it towards making my mails better and increasing the list sign-ups at other mailers that I was having much more success with when it came to my goals with particular ad sites and the downlines I was growing at each of those sites.

Along the way, joining HIVE via [CLICK.TRACK.PROFIT](https://clicktrackprofit.com/jsemada) was personally monumental, but it's important to always note; that being a member of the CTP Universe of products and services has been many years. Way beyond the years HIVE/STEEM has been around.

I mean when I joined one of @jongolson ad sites, CTP wasn't even in existence. His I LOVE HITS traffic exchange is iconic and his Hits Exchange Newsletter was a can't miss. I mean many of us looked forward to that every week or it may have been every month. That part I don't remember. It's eons ago in Online Marketing years.

Jon never stopped, he was always ahead of the curve and joined forces with those who believe in his vision and had multiple successes that is due the utmost respect for what he was able to provide his membership all those years.

An OG member like @beststart and handful of folks that are on HIVE now, can attest to what I mentioned above.

When the discussion began about the CTP Team working on something big and that ListNerds was going to be at the center of what was coming, there was absolutely no hesitation on my part; that I was going to go all in.

You see, I was already and still am email marketing off-chain; so of course knowing that we were going to have a first blockchain mailer and it was going to be courtesy of The CTP Swarm - NO FUCKING BRAINER!!!

![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/images/986a6860c3e14bb23bd6bb2f5c74d8a0/tenor.gif)

The funny part, was that I really didn't truly grasp the "blockchain" part of it. I was thinking in terms of the mailer side of it. I knew, that it was going to be epic. But did I really know? I mean, I was still conditioned as an affiliate marketer and was looking at it from that lens instead of what it has morphed into today.

Once it happened, I upgraded to the business membership; which was half the prices that it normally was and I did not hesitate and took the offer. I also delegated some hive power to ListNerds and then proceeded to use the mailer and promote it off-chain.

So this was January 25, 2022 when I was still rolling along doing the Luke is Alive Contest almost daily and in this post I mentioned that I had upgraded to Enterprise and that was probably within 2 weeks or less after upgrading to business on the special offer. I gave up the special offer price to go enterprise without batting an eye:

![LN POST LUKE 04.12.22.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jimmy.adames/23sJxS9EwEcC9TTbH4iDsPkH97U8SGDS9fvwAVfAAvtcGSgJAWysZmgwrqKpTeL1YpqTy.png)
[Not that Enterprise, Luke](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@jimmy.adames/not-that-enterprise-luke)

The very next day on January 26th, 2022, I posted this:

![LN POST LUKE 04.12.22 - 2.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jimmy.adames/243qeGvbiQrFAELwhaqTqABnWbYHDXPCUsk82a2AApcyUTE33chzFswPVmjmiUJBm5UES.png)
[I Woke Up to This](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@jimmy.adames/i-woke-up-to-this)

I was starting to feel the momentum shift that made me go enterprise. My gut feeling was starting to prove out, but more importantly the numbers, the stats and the community aspect was becoming more and more apparent.

Then on January 31st, 2022, I decided to push my Luke is Alive post for that day a bit and test something out simultaneously with my ListNerds mail:

![LN POST LUKE 04.12.22 - 3.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jimmy.adames/243g9Y8huPdfXAkci9khMP8YxUyYqS96g5JJtb3ZMvoWhWNkSC4H24ym1F43NoKV6JFw5.png)
[Solve the Puzzle Luke](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@jimmy.adames/solve-the-puzzle-luke)

It was silly, but effective. 

The by February 4th, 2022, I was starting to really feel the mojo and I wanted to get people talking and I wanted to engage with folks that were feeling what I was feeling:

![LN POST LUKE 04.12.22 - 4.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jimmy.adames/245wawGU6SwfEs8i6gAkvn3VmfJMyLBzRvh5J1V9fGMENKzJgqtLmu4yPBU1gc2uPL2eR.png)
[Is it a Mailer or an Engagement Tool?](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@jimmy.adames/is-it-a-mailer-or-is-it-an-engagement-tool)

I was on a roll at this point, because I was truly in discovery mode at this point. I was like shit, this isn't just a mailer - IT'S MORE THAN THAT!

Then on February 8th, 2022 I did my first *ListNerds* @threespeak video post. I had done a few I Am Alive Challenge videos, but this was the first video - I believe - outside of those and it was about my excitement on realizing how much more you can do with your ListNerds membership.
[ListNerds Peripherals](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@jimmy.adames/xwmfioxr)

Then two months ago; this post was a big one for me, because it was a culmination of the the previous few weeks where it more of a discovery pattern to a hey I am not talking out of my ass level. Folks, were getting hip to the power of ListNerds and my energy was resonating with folks. At this point, I don't believe I was sending old school type mails anymore and it became more of how the platform can be used more to build community:

 [The Nerdy Uses to Build Community](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@jimmy.adames/three-nerdy-uses-to-build-community)

Then right around the same time I posted another video, because my online marketing gene kicked in and I saw the platform as a traffic generator as well and it jazzed me up!

![LN POST LUKE 04.12.22 - 7.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jimmy.adames/244Kbw5HV1z4mLVEjvy8hvUpnifAdnD4WvD1M7uiDJJzp1jWbbJBHGnnYb1V3g9kCE7ww.png)

For me to go all in on something, has to provide key elements to have staying in power in my life. I have very little patience for the bullshit, but it's crucial for me to be part of a community that believes in it too; because it's what will help it maintain it's longevity.

I workout like a madman at a company's fitness studios, that I went all in on and every penny I've paid for my membership, I've never regretted and I'm on my eighth year.

Will I be a member of ListNerds eight years from now? Who knows. I can tell you that I haven't regretted a cent or a minute of it and yes; it matters even more that it's on HIVE; but what is crucial to this whole thing, is that the community is badass and I'm damn proud to be a Nerd!
