Twitter Lists: How To Create Them and Why You Should Use Them

0
0

If you are a Twitter user, lists are a great way to make your experience more productive and enjoyable. Twitter lists are an incredible time saver that helps you to stay organized and bypass an endless stream of tweets, and allows you to target the people and information most important to you. Lists boost engagement by allowing you to better focus on individuals you want to connect with. A tweet stream consisting of only potential customers or influencers allows you to respond quickly and be a part of the conversation. And lists are a great way to show appreciation to brands and people you value.

 

Lists can be comprised of any Twitter users based on any criteria you chose. They even allow you to include people you don’t follow. You have the option to make your lists public or private. Public lists are useful if you want to provide helpful resources, show appreciation or assist others in finding interesting users to follow. Private lists are best suited for those that don’t benefit followers such as your personal acquaintances or lists used just to organize information and save time.

 

Now that you know how useful lists can be, you can go create your own with the simple instructions below.

To Add or Remove People From Your Lists:

1. Click the gear icon drop down menu on a user’s profile.

2. Select add or remove from lists.

3. A pop-up will appear, displaying your created lists. Check the lists you would like to add the user to, or uncheck the lists you’d like to remove the user from.

 

You can also subscribe to public lists created by others. A public list will give you insight into the people or brands that the owner of the Twitter handle account respects. It’s a great way for you to discover new accounts to follow and create opportunities for engagement.

 

To Subscribe To/Follow Other People’s Lists:

1. Click on “Lists” when viewing someone’s profile.

2. Select which list you’d like to subscribe to.

3. From the list page, click “Subscribe” to follow the list. You can follow lists without following the individual users in that list.
