How to use Twitter Lists for you and your business

How to use Twitter Lists for you and your business

So the new rage on Twitter is putting people you follow into lists
Now how will this feature help you or your business?  I found it rather simple.

  1. I have made an initial group of lists to start
    1. Best of Real Estate - I think that is self explanatory (my selfish list)
    2. Tampa Tweeters - this used to be Local Tweeters, but than I figured that would not benefit strangers (list for my clients)
    3. Favorite Tweeters - this is just generally great tweeter (selfish again)
  2. organize the people you follow into the appropriate group
    1. Only way I found to do it was to go through all ~2800 people I follow
    2. that was very time consuming though and I am but a piker in the grand scheme of Twitter
  3. Turns out, as of Oct 20th only a select group of Tweeters are allowed to use lists
  4. you are limited to 20 lists total (drawback if you have are huge with following
  5. you are limited to 500 tweeters per list (drawback if you have are huge with following) (10,000 total! Sorry @JasonCrouch)
  6. Suggestions for Lists
    1. Break down different aspects of your business that other people would find helpful, I will use Real  Estate Examples
      1. Local RE
      2. National RE
      3. Going Green Tips (implementing myself shortly as it is all the rage)
      4. Landscaping (no brainer IMHO)
      5. Home Staging (actually if you asked someone who was honest, you have bad taste.  And bad breath :-) )
    2. Break down different aspects of  your local area
      1. Local News 
      2. Local Events
      3. Local Traffic & Weather
    3. Charities you work with or support in principle
    4. Soicial Media Giants
      1. Twitter help (newbies will love you for it)
      2. Twitter app developers (those who 'get Twitter' will love you for it)
      3. Mashable (how can you not follow them, so dope they deserve their own list)
    5. Basically anything that would be Beneficial to your prospects/customers/clients/network/YOURSELF
  7. Then of course there is the Reciprocity that so many expect
    1. do you follow back those who follow you?
    2. or do you think you are a too cool for school types
    3. should you follow the lists that follow you, or at least the tweeter that created said list with your name on it?
  8. Everyone you follow does not have to end up on one of your lists
    1. especially given the limits as your account grows
    2. hopefully this 'experiment' will be successful and expanded
    3. I see many 'twitter could overtake Google' reasons for encouraging and expanding this concept
    4. concentration of information exchange/sharing
  9. for further informative posts you can try
    1. Twitter Lists; Limitations, bugs, impact, and brilliance

    2. The Brilliance of Twitter Lists and Suggestions for Improvement

  10. Will Net Neutrality affect this?  I do not know, but I see it as one more thing to be concerned about with that horrific doctrine
  11. I am sure overtime more things will come to light so please share what you know, what you learn and lets all make The World what it Should Be
and that is how to use Twitter Lists for you and your business
