In the previous podcast I mentioned adding people to a list on Twitter. A few people asked me what the be
nefits were of adding people to a list.
In show #3 I talk about how Twitter lists are a great way to prioritize your news feeds, keep track of the latest news and cut down the noise from your Twitter feed. You can list both the people that you follow on Twitter, and those that you don't.
Then when you open the list the only tweets you will only see the tweets from the people that are on that list.
There are a variety of different lists you could set up. Here are a few ideas:
Key things to note about Twitter Lists:
In this video I show you how to set up your own list and also how to subscribe to other people's lists.
Don't forget if you have a question for the show, pop over to twitter and message me @staceylmyers and use the #StaceyAnswers tag.
It can be a bit frightening when you are first on Twitter to reach out to people and strike up a conversation. In show #2 I talk through a variety of ways to start those conversations -whether you are responding to something someone else posted or if you are initiating the conversation yourself.
Here is a list of some of the ideas covered in the show. Each point is elaborated further with additional ideas.
These are just a few of the ways to start connecting with people on Twitter.

Twitter would have to be one of my favourite, if not my favourite, social platform. I think a lot of people miss out on the benefits of Twitter, as it is a bit of a learning curve when you start out. It is a lot easier to start a Facebook page, than get started on Twitter, because most people are already familiar with the look and feel of Facebook.
Here are a few reasons why I really like it:
Using Twitter lists makes working on Twitter a easier. It helps cut out a lot of the noise. If you are not using them already this video will walk you through how to set them up.
I rate Twitter so much, (and know how much it can benefit your business), I held a 4 hour workshop on it.
This workshop is for you if you are new to Twitter or have been on Twitter for a while but not getting the results you want. It goes from setting up your account to building relationships with people you are not already connected with to scheduling posts to using analytics to tweak your Twitter strategy. Everything you need is covered.
