Get More Followers With Creating Lists!

Now if you are interested in how to use Twitter lists to be a marketeer yourself, here are some tips how you could accomplish this.

First you need a plan and think about what you like to provide to your audience. You can make several lists in Twitter especially made for your niche.

Did you know that the average Twitter user tweets 20 times a day?

Now we know this we can make a calculation how many people we could reach in Twitter:

100 Followers x 20 = 2000 tweets

1000 Followers x 20 = 20.000 tweets

20.000 Followers = 400.000 tweets

Realistically seen take 10% of your followers, who will retweet what you post. Now then it gets interesting. So those lists can come in handy as you can send your tweet to those in your lists only, specified to your niche topic.

Not only that, they might actually take up your offer and that means business for you, making money, that is why we use Twitter.

Now you may ask, how do you get them to sign up to a list? I sign up to lists if it interests me and I know I receive information from that list that is useful to me, like tutorials or special offers, freebies and the list goes on.

Organize Your People in Your Lists!

You will have to break your niche into different lists. As an example lets say you are having a niche about Making Websites. Your lists could look like:

  • WordPress Themes: I add members who are WordPress Theme Makers and in this list people can subscribe.
  • WordPress Security Plug Ins
  • WordPress Member Plug Ins
  • WordPress Tutorials
  • Webhosting
  • Freebies

And the list goes on.

Building Your Audience!

Anyone who retweets you, mentions you in a tweet, gives you a like (heart) or answers in your tweet is interested to connect with you. It is very important you do not let this opportunity get past as you are having here potential customers who are trusting you for what you present. They value your content and are looking to connect with you.

So you should connect with them, answer them, see if you can find out what they are looking for. Always give a thank you for a question a like or a reply. Some may answer back, others may retweet your tweet and some may even follow you and that is exactly what you are looking for.

To build trust over long term, it is important you keep your Twitter account ongoing. This means tweet everyday if you can.

Write a Good Bio For Your Audience!

The better and the stronger your Bio is, the more people will trust you and sign up. They will know what to expect if they follow you.

Now what should you write in your Bio you might ask yourself? A good Bio should have following key topics:

  • A professional and accurate description of who you are
  • Write in an excited way
  • Your niche
  • One accomplishment
  • One hobby
  • One fact or feature of yourself
  • One connection with another social profile or company

How To Use @ in Twitter In a Correct Way!

  • @(+ twitterusername) in the beginning of Tweets will reach all your followers.
  • If you reply to a Tweet, your reply will only appear in the time-line of people who follow you and the person you replied to.
  • If your retweet your reply you will share your reply with all your followers.


On the next page we will go through some additional tips that can help you to increase your audience.

I joined Twitter a few days ago and this tutorial is extremely helpful! I had no idea all of this was going on. You did mention to me about the bots and how to spot them.

I don't have many following me yet, but at least I can keep track from now on. I will be checking out the lists and navigate according to your tutorial, taking notes until I know how to do this.

There is so much information here, I'll have to go through it again. Thanks for the many tips and for sharing your findings!

I'm very new to social media as a platform to promote my website. I have no idea that there are so many bots at work out there. Maybe I should apply for a job as an internet bot :P but they probably can't afford me hehe...

Thanks for sharing this great twitter strategy, let's look forward to more human interactions and less bot contactzzz.
