The instructions below are included on the handouts from last week&#8217;s webinar, and the entire package is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicityhound.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To see whose lists you&#8217;re on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log into your Twitter account<\/li>\n<li>Go to your Home page<\/li>\n<li>Look in the upper right corner, near your gravatar, for the word &#8220;Listed.&#8221; It will tell you how many lists you&#8217;re on.<\/li>\n<li>Click on it.\u00a0You&#8217;ll see\u00a0all the names of the lists and the gravatars of the people who created them. The names of the lists will be in bold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Scan the list and you should start to see a pattern. The screenshot above\u00a0shows some of the 668 lists I&#8217;m on. Many of the lists are devoted to PR, publicity, marketing communications,\u00a0book marketing and\u00a0social media.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you have a good idea how you&#8217;re perceived, write a blog post like this one, suggesting that your Twitter followers add you to their lists on certain topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add Me to These Lists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are topics for other lists you can consider adding me to, based on many of the other lists on which I appear:<\/p>\n<p>Writing or Writers<\/p>\n<p>Editing or Editors<\/p>\n<p>Journalists or Journalism<\/p>\n<p>Marketing<\/p>\n<p>Authors<\/p>\n<p>Business Women<\/p>\n<p>Small Business<\/p>\n<p>Online Marketing<\/p>\n<p>Digital Marketing<\/p>\n<p>Self-promotion<\/p>\n<p>Shoestring Marketing<\/p>\n<p>Book Publicity<\/p>\n<p>Resources for Authors<\/p>\n<p>Inspiring Quotes<\/p>\n<p>Humor<\/p>\n<p>Entrepreneurs<\/p>\n<p>Advertising\/Marketing<\/p>\n<p>PR Pros<\/p>\n<p>Press Releases<\/p>\n<p>Blogging or Bloggers<\/p>\n<p>Dog Jokes (I include a dog joke in each issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicityhound.com\/tips\/\" target=\"_blank\"> &#8220;Craigslist: A Valuable Publicity Tool.&#8221;<\/a>,\u00a0my free weekly ezine, and often share it on Twitter)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other\u00a0Ways to be Included on Twitter Lists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.

Add yourself to your own lists if you&#8217;re a perfect fit. Remember that other people will be subscribing to your lists. If you&#8217;re a small business expert, for example, \u00a0and somebody is following your list of small business experts, you want to be on it.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0Include a short blurb in your email signature suggesting that people add you to their lists, with a link to your Twitter page.<\/p>\n<p>4. Ask! Don&#8217;t be shy about suggesting that people add you to a particular list they&#8217;ve created. They might be grateful that you&#8217;ve helped them grow their lists.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to reciprocate. Welcome requests from other people who ask you to put them on your lists.<\/p>\n<p>What other ways do you use Twitter lists? Is there anything about lists that you don&#8217;t understand?
