Hey it's Philip here the curly marketer you're very welcome today's curly marketer tip if you're
a small business owner or an entrepreneur do consider subscribing to the youtube channel
lots of tips and tricks to help you start using social media effectively for your business. Now
today i wanted to talk about twitter lists. Now what are these well i think they're something
that a lot of businesses fail to use effectively or don't use at all and you're really missing out
a trick when you're using twitter within your social media. Effectively a twitter list is a
special list that you can create of twitter accounts you know, businesses, people, individuals
on twitter that you don't have to follow but that you can put them into specific designated twitter
list that would allow you to then go to that list and see what those people are tweeting about.
Now, who are some of these people that you could turn into lists? Well your customers, you could
create a private customer list and every morning go In and see what your customers are tweeting
about are they tweeting about something that maybe you weren't aware of have they got some good news
that would allow you as a business to get involved maybe in a congratulation conversation. You could
also create a private list of your competitors. What are they tweeting about are they tweeting
about some industry news, new developments that you weren't aware of that suddenly maybe you're
behind the curve and you need to up your game. So once again keeping an eye on your competitors
from the twitter point having a twitter list is very useful. You could also have a
an influencer twitter list if there are certain influential individuals or companies in your
industry that you would like to try and create a relationship with great to have a twitter
list of those people so you can see what they're posting and maybe retweet re-share comment and
start to build a relationship where you get to the point maybe where they share your content.
Now how do you create a twitter list? Well stay tuned I'm going to show you very simply how you
can do this. Okay so this is how you create a Twitter list. See here on my profile lists
let's click on lists and then up in the top right you'll see like a little document with a plus sign
click on that to create a new list. Now you can if you want you can add a bespoke personalised
photo for your list some people like to do this especially with public lists where they
may have other Twitter followers will actually subscribe to their list, but for the purpose of
this video I'm just going to leave that blank and we're just going to focus on private lists.
Now once again if you were naming this your customer list you might go
your Top customer lists and maybe add a description. So if there were team members
managing this at least they'd understand what they had to put into this list
but obviously with something like your customers and maybe your competitors you want to make it
private. By making it private it means that when you add people to the list they won't be
notified and once again this is quite relevant for your competitors because you wouldn't want your
competitors to know that maybe you're putting them into a list. The next thing then is click next
and here you want to obviously start to maybe add people now I'm just going to look for my
good friend eImer duffy of FIT social media. Now obviously we're following each other but
to add someone to a list you don't have to follow them you can literally just go add
and you click done. Now obviously when you click done you can go back into the list and add more
people but the beauty of the twitter list is that let's just say this list was a list of
my customers or my competitors i can now just go into this list every morning and i can see in this
case what has eimer been tweeting. So as you can see i can see that she has retweeted this tweet
she's put out about stories another retweet etc etc so i can now see what Eimer is talking about
so if you apply the same logic to your competitors you can go into your competitor list and just see
what your competitors have been tweeting about rather than trying to go into the main home feed
up here and scrolling through. There's thousands of tweets every second so if I'm trying to find
a particular tweet from a particular customer or competitor I'm never going to find it and that's
the beauty of creating these twitter lists. So i hope you found today's curly marketer tip
useful twitter lists i think they are so undervalued yet so potent for your twitter
marketing strategy so definitely today start to set up some private twitter list for yourself
definitely start with maybe your customers and your competitors
it will allow you each morning to go in and just check those feeds rather than trying to delve
into your home feed which will be jam-packed with thousands of tweets and you'll never find
anything. If you want to know more about me do go to my website thecurlymarketer.com do subscribe
