Showing up Better

Getting Influencer Insights

Influencers got to where they are because they know something you don’t. They understand Twitter in a fundamentally different way, so if you were able to access their mind, you could get a glimpse at that understanding.

Implicit makes it incredibly easy to reply to these influencers, build up trust, and have meaningful conversations. All of which could lead to collaborations, access to their network, and more.

This is how you do it:

1. Choose the existing “Mentors” list, or create your own of a similar style making powerful lists
2. Take that list into the Connect view and reply to the posts that come up to the top
3. Develop a relationship with a few influencers, then move to the DM side of the Connect view.
4. Send intro DMs to your favorite influencers, and continue the conversation from there.

This will put you on some important people’s radar and give you the opportunity to access a lot more resources than the average Twitter user could ever dream.

Creating Effective Content

Most people jump into Twitter assuming they know what their audience wants. It’s a problem that nearly everyone on the platform has faced, and it feels awful when no one notices what you’re doing.

But Implicit lets you overcome this by helping you get a deep insight on what problems people are facing, what they love, what they hate, and more.

You can do this by:

• Creating a list of people you’ve talked to that you’d like to get insights from, or using one of Implicit’s existing lists
• Taking this list into the DM tab of the Connect view and starting conversations
• Asking increasingly prying questions as you get to know them

This will make your content and products resonate like no others. Though DMs are usually a slow process, consistently trying different approaches will put you ahead of the crowd.

Managing DM Chaos

The main way to grow relationships on Twitter is through DMs, but even after stepping away for a day, most inboxes get overwhelmingly filled. Most people are paralyzed by the amount of work that it would take to sort through and answer everything.

Implicit addresses that problem directly, by creating a dashboard that will automatically sort your DMs by most to least relevant. Letting you quickly move from one to the next, giving you a short preview of the conversation, and making it easy to respond.

This is done by:

1. Choosing one of Implicit’s existing lists or creating your own that will show people you’re commonly DMing making powerful lists
2. Clicking on the DM tab in the Connect view
3. Scrolling through the list and replying to any one that seems relevant

This reduces the hassle of trying to figure out what is important, and stops that paralyzing feeling you get when looking through a full inbox.

Figure out who isn’t Active

Twitter is a place of constant change, trends, tools, and people moving in and out of the spotlight. If you’ve been on Twitter for more than a month, you know that people love to drop off the platform, seemingly at random. It’s frustrating to spend so much time building up relationships just to never hear from them again.

But Implicit helps combat this problem, by letting you create special lists of people that can track who is active, who is engaging with your work, and who has moved on.

You can do this by:

1. Choosing the existing list of those you engage with, or creating your own of a similar style making powerful lists
2. Adding a filter to that list
3. Use a query like “Engaged within” or “Commented within” to get interesting results

This will help you cut down the noise that is on Twitter, freeing up space in your lists and mind.
