Twitter Lists Provide More Opportunity for Online Visibility

Imagine your tweets showing up on websites and blogs all over the web. The potential for reaching new readers, fans and followers is mind-boggling. I read an article on WebProNews about how to use the Twitter List widget to do just this. The article, By Tweeting You Could Appear All Over the Web, describes why and how to do this. Rather than me rewriting the info, click through and read the post!

As author Chris Crum states, this is a good reason to make sure you're tweeting good stuff. And I would add: make sure you have a great avatar that reflects who you are as a professional.

Below is a widget I created from a list I put together of some of the savvy business women I know and partner with in various ways. The great thing about lists is that they're always evolving. As I run across or remember people, I can easily add them to any of the lists I have set up.

Twitter lists are all the rage in the twitterverse right now with pros and cons about setting up lists and appearing on lists being bandied about. If you're not sure about lists or you have no idea what I'm talking about because they haven't been enabled on your account yet, here's a comprehensive post on Twitip explaining the ins and outs of lists. My account was finally enabled last Friday and the whole thing is a beta project so don't fret if you don't have lists yet. It's a big time suck once you have access!

Twitter lists are definitely a way to get more exposure. I utilize them almost like I do for #FollowFriday. I'll add someone to my twitter lists in hopes that they will either follow me back, acknowledge me with a thank you (and @ reply of course), or simply follow the list. Great strategies all around, and like SeaSemSeo said as a "bookmarks folder".

Lists can help you out, too. If you’re out of work, for example, you could create a list of company or recruiter accounts to monitor for job postings. Or if you need to stay current on a topic for work, you could create a list of companies or bloggers active on that subject.
