They are a way to organize tweets by topic or to track potential leads for any type of event. If you&#8217;re not sure what these lists are, Twitter has an FAQ for them. However, you can use these to your advantage. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organize_tweets_by_topic\"><\/span>Organize tweets by topic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lists on Twitter are a good way to track competitors, keep an eye on industry trends, and monitor your audience. While hashtags are a great way to gather tweets, lists can be helpful for capturing tweets that don&#8217;t contain a hashtag. HubSpot, for example, has a large following on Twitter and recently made a list for attendees of its Inbound 2014 conference. The list included 2,700 members and has attracted a wide range of tweets.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main types of lists on Twitter &#8211; private and public. Private lists are only visible to you, while public lists can be seen by other Twitter users. A Twitter list is easy to maintain and can streamline your workflow. Creating a list requires some time up front, but it can pay off with greater engagement and brand awareness. To create a list, go to the lists section of your profile. There, you can organize tweets by topic and make them searchable.<\/p>\n<p>Before you start using lists on Twitter, check whether they already exist. If so, clean them up. If not, create them. Think about what you want to accomplish with them, and create a list based on those needs. Remember to check your lists regularly to see if any need to be expanded. A list can become large or small, depending on your needs. If you have multiple lists, create a few small ones first and then expand them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_private_lists\"><\/span>Create private lists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To follow competitors on Twitter, create private lists. These lists allow you to keep tabs on who your competitors are following and tweeting the most. Private lists are useful as a jumping off point for further research. You can use these lists to track outreach efforts. Here are some of the benefits of private lists. They are effective for keeping track of your competitors. Here are three reasons to create private lists on Twitter. All three will increase your ROI.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike public lists, private lists on Twitter do not notify people that they are on them. It is best suited for social media wallflowers who don&#8217;t want their followers to know they&#8217;ve added them. They also allow you to sort people into lists without being notified when they do. Once created, these lists won&#8217;t appear in search, but you can view them anytime by navigating to your profile. Listed people will no longer see your Tweets.<\/p>\n<p>To create private lists, follow users of a specific category. List names can be as short as 25 characters. The name of your list can be up to 100 characters long. Afterward, you can edit or delete your list. To edit your list, simply click the Edit List button. Here, you can change the name of the list, the description, and the banner image. If you don&#8217;t want others to see your lists, click Manage Members to remove them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_potential_leads_for_any_kind_of_event\"><\/span>Track potential leads for any kind of event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Marketing on Twitter has been essential to business success for many years, with over 300 million active users making it the ninth largest social media platform. But recently, Twitter has seen a slowdown in growth, prompting some industry experts to wonder if the social media platform is here to stay. That&#8217;s when Twitter Lists come into play. This powerful tool helps marketers track potential leads for any event and attracts people who may be interested in what they have to say.<\/p>\n<p>In order to collect tweets related to an event, it&#8217;s best to use hashtags, but lists can also capture tweets without hashtags. For example, HubSpot&#8217;s annual conference, Inbound 2014, attracts an impressive number of Twitter users. The company created a list for all attendees, and it totaled 2,700 members. Using Twitter lists to gather data is a powerful tool that enables brands to better understand the demographics of their audience and target potential customers.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4h0vAqn3yEI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"465\" height=\"260\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are Lists on Twitter?
