— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A2: I use advanced search to look for keywords and phrases I'm interested in and then create a list based on those and add people to it. I get very specific so that my lists are very targeted otherwise it can get noisey #twittersmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) May 10, 2018
A2a: When I'm reviewing my twitter lists I create moments to collect the tweets I want to save or read for later. Often I just leave it in draft because I don't want it public the stuff I'm researchig #TwitterSmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) May 10, 2018
A2: I create Twitter lists based on very specific items like say people I want to meet and connect with an at upcoming conference. It's a super helpful way to keep me organized. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/TlhA2sFVa7

— Hippo Direct (@HippoDirect) May 10, 2018

— SourceMedia (@SourceMediaCo) May 10, 2018
A2: A Twitter list is the best way to filter the content & people you are most interested in engaging with. #TwitterSmarter
— Chris Smith – SEO (@ck_smith) May 10, 2018
A2: I prefer private list, and yes public Twitter list does flatter people. It always flatters me when I am notified that I am on a list. You can organize list by topic, audience, region. It is endless, you just have to make a list that works for you. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/gKTNBZvJX0
— Ryan Donald (@MurphyD15) May 10, 2018
A2 If you keep your lists in clean categories, you know when you go to particular lists who will be there and what they generally are talking about. When there's a launch like later today, for sure I'm on my Space News list. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) May 10, 2018
A2. Break down your lists into segments and groups that help you to find what you need. It can be by industry, types of people, their commitment to your brand, where they are in conversion funnel, etc #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/bBmSlHU3OK
— Lisa Boyles ??? I like big gifs & I cannot lie (@lisaboylesmedia) May 10, 2018
A2: Initially – lists can take time to set up and be organized with, but I'm so glad I did. Literally everyone I follow goes into a list – it's a reminder to myself on why I followed them in the first place and what kind of content they share. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/yGcs31NdoC
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) May 10, 2018
A2: You can have a private list to help keep you up with resources or competition by subject, location, or infuencers. Make a list public once you have curated it to allow subscribers to gain value from what you have created #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/VnEcjIwcIX
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #DSATL (@FuhsionMktg) May 10, 2018
A2: We can make super-specific lists—say top five accounts in our industry.
And there's no limit to the number of lists we can make—so we don't need to add all in to one list (which will make it harder to follow). #TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 10, 2018
A2: While Twitter lists are a great tool, I'd argue that you need to have a 'plan' on how your going to structure the info you want so that the lists are useful for you … without a 'plan', lists can get a bit unwieldy … My two cents … #twittersmarter https://t.co/PIlnL4W9G3
— Kevin O'Donovan (@Kevin_ODonovan) May 10, 2018
Q3: What are some ways Twitter Lists can help you with competitor research? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/R8fcHIWZhv
— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A3: I love using lists for this. Create a private list and add all your competitors to it. If you have a lot of them you might want to create multiple lists e.g. one for startups and one for major players #twittersmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) May 10, 2018
A3a: Check to see what they're posting and the engagement it's getting. A tip is to see who's RT or liked any tweets and follow them or add them to a new private list (e.g. fans of competitors) #twittersmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) May 10, 2018
A3b: You get really great insights from lists that you just don't find in analytics because scrolling through the feed gives you a real sense of what's trending with competitors and what's getting engagement #TwitterSmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) May 10, 2018
A3: You can create private Twitter lists that are "for your eyes only." This is super helpful for when you want to keep an eye out on your competition. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/D57Dw7mA1x
— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A3. There's an option to make a Twitter list private, where you can keep track of what competitors are up to. #TwitterSmarter

A3 Twitter Lists make it easy to listen to & monitor your competitors #twittersmarter
— Toby Metcalf makes S'mores with Reese's PB Cups (@Toby_Metcalf) May 10, 2018
A3: You can make a Twitter list of your competitors and see how they are utilizing Twitter. Identify the gaps!
Not only that, you can see if they are referencing news articles about your product/service/niche that could be relevant information for you as well.#twittersmarter pic.twitter.com/qd5WirCFkk
— influencerTONY ? New videos start Tuesday! (@InfluencerTony) May 10, 2018
A3: Private lists are the best way to find out what competitors are doing.
Sometimes our competitors have multiple accounts—each focussing on a different service they offer. Lists are great to monitor them together and as separate. #TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 10, 2018
A3: Group your competitors instead of scrambling for their accounts like a wild goose chase (or Hippo chase) ? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/wgouxuLodi
— Hippo Direct (@HippoDirect) May 10, 2018
A3. List allows you to keep a private list of competitors which begins a great method of social listening:
Mentions
Followers
Moments
Leads #TwitterSmarter— Dr. Dorrie Cooper (@sittingpretty61) May 10, 2018
A3: from my non-profit's account, I have a List labeled "Accounts to Watch" and I monitor what they tweet as well as their weekly growth to see how we compare. #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) May 10, 2018
A3) Add all your competitors to a list… add the list to Hootsuite… regularly use the “search” filter… Instant access to competitor info, and specifically- who’s saying the things you care about! Who needs #CambrideAnalytica !! ? #Twittersmarter
— Gary Ennis (@nsdesign) May 10, 2018
A3 To keep up with or monitor competitors, make a list exclusively of them. You only need to look them up once when you create the list. After that you just need to "tune in" to watch them tweet away. Pick up on issues, and jump in with tweets with your answers. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) May 10, 2018
A3 Twitter list for researching competition and their followers is a great bc you don't actually have to follow them, but can add them to the lists and continue the conversations / listening from there #TwitterSmarter
— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) May 10, 2018
A3: I have a couple of private Twitter lists of competitors in different area (US and UK) – These are excellent to see what they are doing but also to get inspired by their work and maybe join forces #collaborationnotcompetition #TwitterSmarter
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 10, 2018

A4 When you see local businesses tweet, you can help promote them with retweets and quote tweets. The easiest way to find what these businesses are up to is through a list. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) May 10, 2018
A4. Adding local businesses and #brands to a Twitter list shows those companies that you're paying attention, and they may be more willing to engage with you. It's always nice to get that notification! #TwitterSmarter
— SourceMedia (@SourceMediaCo) May 10, 2018

— Hippo Direct (@HippoDirect) May 10, 2018
A4: Creating public accounts of brands we want to engage with. They'll get a notification and that's a nice way to say, "I like what you're doing." #TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 10, 2018
A4: I have a public list for local media people – no need to hide that, it's helpful for the community! You can also create city-specific lists, if you make it public, then you are letting people know that you're interested in your community. #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) May 10, 2018

As a bonus, you also show people who look at lists that you care about the community. #twittersmarter
— Marisa Cali (@allthesocial) May 10, 2018

Q5: How can Twitter Lists help you connect and share information with your customers? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/wV9GqOJ3TL
— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A5: You can use it as a staff directory – list all the people in your company, so it's easy for customers to get in touch #TwitterSmarter

A5: for my work account, I have lists for the topics we regularly share content on – #TraumaInformed Care, #FosterCare, Parenting, or any of the many other go-to topics we promote.
When I'm curating content, I start with my Twitter Lists. #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) May 10, 2018
A5 If your customers are on Twitter, create a list exclusively of them. You'll readily see what they're talking about — even what their customers say about them. You'll know the issues and can figure out how you can meet those needs. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) May 10, 2018
A5: If your customers are on Twitter, share the list with them and let them know what the value of the list is for them by subscribing to your list. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Y0wIqf2NVb

People can browse thru your lists, subscribe to it and get access to valuable information.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/3Ki8gMXOO1— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) May 10, 2018

Q6: What are your best tips for getting subscribers for your Twitter Lists? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/Yacyt0zGFP
— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A6: Cross promotion on other social meda helps. e.g. create a Pinterest graphic and have it point to your Twitter list #twittersmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) May 10, 2018
A6: Regularly promote individual Twitter lists so people will know about them and be sure to mention they can subscribe.
For instance, be sure to check out my list of favorite podcasts:https://t.co/7W1iIepP9L
If you like it, be sure to subscribe.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/UJrzI5Unf7— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A6: I don't actively try to get people to subscribe to my lists (feel free to change my mind on why I should though!), but if I did – I would make sure to make it PUBLIC and then tweet about it. You'd also want to make sure those on the list are up to date. #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) May 10, 2018
a6: Engage as much as you can with your subscriber. Add content that is valuable to them. People will join your lists! #TwitterSmarter

— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) May 10, 2018
A6 A bit over-simplified, but… compile a list of knowledgeable ppl who Tweet great content #twittersmarter
— Toby Metcalf makes S'mores with Reese's PB Cups (@Toby_Metcalf) May 10, 2018
A6.
– Make sure that lists are good & resourceful.
– Even promote your lists. I actually never see people do this. #TwitterSmarter
— Ai Addyson-Zhang, Ph.D Digital Learning Evangelist (@aiaddysonzhang) May 10, 2018
A6: I haven't utilized them much for this, but should!
The ones I follow contain:
– Speakers at events ?
– Influencers in a niche ?
– Media contacts ?#twittersmarter— influencerTONY ? New videos start Tuesday! (@InfluencerTony) May 10, 2018
A6.
✏️ Create a big splashy visual/gif/quick video to grab attention
✏️ Tag local businesses you want to invite
✏️ Convey the benefits of joining a List (better engagement, supportive community, etc).#TwitterSmarter— Virtuoso Assistant ? ? (@VirtuosoAssist) May 10, 2018
A6: not very useful perhaps, but most of my lists are for personal use, curation and research. Lists can have great value without subscribers . But as with everything else, provide great content and value and people will follow. #TwitterSmarter
— Christine Jacobsen (@ChrisKJa) May 10, 2018
A6: Never thought of this before… but we could out together a list of resources and share it with followers.
• Partners they can reach out to
• Employees who can help with questions
• Events we'll be attending #TwitterSmarter— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 10, 2018
A6
Share it often, but in the right context.
Promote it via UGC and content of people on this list.
When you create content, include lists in it and invite ppl to subscribe to it.
Treat TwitterLists like a publication – of great content & creators.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/sa5sIcrn6T— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) May 10, 2018
Q7: What are some tools to help you manage and engage with your Twitter Lists? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/AeNBD9eCP7
— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A7: @TwitonomyApp is my favourite tool. You can see and interact with all your lists in one place and even pin your favourites to your dashboard. Best of all it's free. Check out my video tutorial #twittersmarter pic.twitter.com/d09WiYDdrn
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) May 10, 2018
A7: I use @hootsuite to listen and engage with my various Twitter lists. It's perfect for that. @TweetDeck does the same thing too.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Rpy1sA9r3l
— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 10, 2018
A7 I don't have many lists (yet) but I load specific lists in @Tweetdeck and I find that helpful. #twittersmarter
— Kevin Fitzsimmons (@kevinfitz1) May 10, 2018
A7 I like tweetdeck, so i can have https://t.co/OC2BdEPq1X column for the lists and hashtags I'm interested in that day. #TwitterSmarter
— Christine Jacobsen (@ChrisKJa) May 10, 2018
A7: I've used tools, but automated public lists just end up feeling spammy. It takes a little effort, but I'd recommend using the native app of Twitter to add to and manage your Twitter lists. Plus, you are aware of every person you add (and remove) from a list. #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) May 10, 2018
A7 The best tool to help engage with your lists is an alarm clock. Have a reminder so you don't forget about them. Also look at who you might want to add or subtract. Remember, businesses don't often engage, so don't drop them if they're not chatty. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) May 10, 2018
A7 I use @hootsuite tabs to organize my @Twitter Lists #twittersmarter
— Toby Metcalf makes S'mores with Reese's PB Cups (@Toby_Metcalf) May 10, 2018
A7: Tweet Deck is the only one I use.
Looking for alternatives, though. Share a list, anyone? 😉#TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 10, 2018
A7. Honestly for me it’s the Twitter app. Lists are the first place I go when I come in, I don’t bother with the feed at all! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/Qlg09fiHJW
— Lisa Boyles ??? I like big gifs & I cannot lie (@lisaboylesmedia) May 10, 2018
A7.
– My brain
– I'm very selective w/ adding people to my lists. Don't want it to be as cluttered as the feed. I read each person's bio => and decide to add to a list or not. #TwitterSmarter

A7 be sure to schedule time for "housekeeping" to keep lists up to date. Does that person still work at that company? Someone hasn't tweeted in 2 years? Someone tweeting more about cats these days than about xx topic? Or maybe a list needs to be split into 2. #TwitterSmarter

A8: For my networking group, I have a list for current event attendees and prospective attendees. This shows me who is on Twitter that is already in the community and those that have expressed interest but haven't made the final step yet – that need encouragement. #TwitterSmarter

A8 Twitter lists help keep you current with what's going on in your general community or subsets of groups. Lists help you stay in the loop without endless checking as you might have done when you first got on Twitter. #TwitterSmarter

A8
Create a list of members of your community, your fans.
It's a great, simple way to follow the conversations, reach out to them, connect with them daily and keep track of how your community is developing.
It's like getting together around a campfire-list ?.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/rqRv4jt0Oo— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) May 10, 2018
A8: With a public list, you can stay on top of your community and make sure to be engaging and sharing. Do a #VideoReplyDay within your community and show you care #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/0JFGjZbPrg
