Just in case you donโ€™t know how to create lists, hereโ€™s a quick tutorial:

5 TYPES OF LISTS YOU SHOULD CREATE:

  • ๐Ÿ”ธ SIMILAR SIZED ACCOUNTS

  • ๐Ÿ”ธ QUALITY CONTENT CREATORS

  • ๐Ÿ”ธ GIANT ACCOUNTS

  • ๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œSTEAL THEIR AUDIENCEโ€ LIST

  • ๐Ÿ”ธ โ€œYOU, BUT BETTERโ€ LIST

Let's break down who you should include in these lists โ†“

1. SIMILAR SIZED ACCOUNTS

This is where community is built

Add:

  • โ†ณ Creators around your follower size

  • โ†ณ People with aligned goals & niche

  • โ†ณ Friends you enjoy talking to

Use this list to:

  • โ†’ Engage daily

  • โ†’ Build familiarity

  • โ†’ Join Spaces together

  • โ†’ Grow side-by-side

This list compounds the fastest.

You can get started with some of the people on this list:

2. QUALITY CONTENT CREATORS

(People to learn from)

This is your skill-building list.

Add:

  • โ†ณ Consistent posters

  • โ†ณ Strong writers

  • โ†ณ Clean formatting

  • โ†ณ People who post quality content you love

  • โ†ณ And the ones who get good engagement

Use this list to:

  • โ†’ Study how posts are structured

  • โ†’ Learn what invites replies

  • โ†’ See how they facilitate conversation

  • โ†’ Reply with genuine thoughts

Youโ€™re learning while gaining impressions.

Two birds. One list.

3. GIANT ACCOUNTS

This is your top-of-funnel list.

Add:

  • โ†ณ 1M+ follower accounts

  • โ†ณ Accounts that get millions of impressions

  • โ†ณ People or brands you genuinely resonate with

How to use it:

  • โ†’ Turn notifications ON

  • โ†’ Reply early when they post

  • โ†’ One meaningful reply (donโ€™t spam)

  • โ†’ Talk to people in their comments section too

Why this works:

  • โ†ณ Active audience

  • โ†ณ High traffic

  • โ†ณ Your replies get seen by lots of people who otherwise wouldn't see you

This list is about reach, not relationships.

You can get started with the accounts on this list:

4. โ€œSTEAL THEIR AUDIENCEโ€ LIST

This list isnโ€™t about who you follow

itโ€™s who your favorite creators engage with.

Do this:

  • โ†’ Watch who they reply to

  • โ†’ Add those accounts to a list

Why?

  • โ†ณ Thatโ€™s who influences them

  • โ†ณ Thatโ€™s who they love n admire

  • โ†ณ Thatโ€™s where communities overlap

And thatโ€™s where you can find more of your tribe.

5. "YOU, BUT BETTERโ€ LIST

Add creators:

  • โ†ณ In your niche

  • โ†ณ At or slightly above your level

Use it for inspiration, building connections and networking

This list keeps you grounded and ever evolving.

The One Rule That Makes Lists Work:

Donโ€™t treat lists like feeds

Treat them like tools

  • โ†’ 10โ€“15 minutes

  • โ†’ Intentional engagement

  • โ†’ Leave with ideas, not a burn out after 19hrs of doomscrolling.

PSA:

If you only engage with people on your lists, you will silo yourself into that same circle of people

So make sure to mix it up

Lists + For You = โœ…
