How To: Create Twitter Lists

Twitter is a great resource for parents to receive updates and helpful links from your child care center. Creating a Twitter List for your center’s profile is a great way to improve your social strategy by keeping up with important topics and conversations in the child care industry.

What is a Twitter List?

A Twitter List is a curated selection of Twitter accounts. You can create your own or subscribe to Lists created by other Twitter accounts. Lists help organize and manage your feed while tracking influencers, parents in your region, competing child care centers and more.

Lists allow you to connect and interact with child care centers, families, influencers and others in the child care industry. In addition, Lists give you plenty of great curated content to add to your social media content calendar and ideas for your own blog.
