Not just anyone. The people who matter to your business.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"648\">That might be prospects, influencers, past clients, peers in your niche, or collaborators you want to stay on the radar with.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"812\">The problem is, LinkedIn doesn\u2019t make this easy. Unless you\u2019re tracking everyone manually or relying on memory, it\u2019s far too easy to miss posts and lose momentum.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"894\">This is where the People List feature in Commenter.ai becomes incredibly useful.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"896\" data-end=\"1077\">It gives you a simple way to curate and track the people you want to engage with. Their latest posts are always ready for you to comment on. No hunting. No scrolling. No forgetting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1099\">Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1127\">What Is a People List?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1321\">In Commenter.ai, the Post Feed feature allows you to filter what you see by either keywords or people. A People List is your way of telling the platform exactly who you want to see posts from.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1323\" data-end=\"1413\">You create your own lists. You control who\u2019s in them. And you choose how to organise them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1612\">This means you\u2019re not at the mercy of the LinkedIn algorithm anymore. You get a feed that shows you the content you actually want to engage with. The posts from the people who matter to your goals.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1639\">Why Use People Lists?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1745\">Because engaging consistently with the right people is how you build familiarity, trust, and connection.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1770\">You might be trying to:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1949\">\n<li data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1812\">\n<p data-start=\"1773\" data-end=\"1812\">Build a relationship with key prospects<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1854\">\n<p data-start=\"1815\" data-end=\"1854\">Stay on the radar with industry leaders<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1855\" data-end=\"1909\">\n<p data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1909\">Keep in touch with past clients or referral partners<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1910\" data-end=\"1949\">\n<p data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1949\">Comment regularly on posts from peers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1951\" data-end=\"2016\">The People List feature makes this easier to manage and maintain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2018\" data-end=\"2143\">You can set up lists for different goals, switch between them quickly, and know you\u2019re always commenting in the right places.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2145\" data-end=\"2176\">How to Create a People List<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2178\" data-end=\"2241\">Let\u2019s walk through the process of building a list from scratch.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"How to Build a People List in Commenter.ai\" width=\"1220\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HpK7HM9Au4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2243\" data-end=\"2274\">Step 1: Open the Post Feed<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2276\" data-end=\"2415\">Inside Commenter.ai, go to the Post Feed tab. This is where your lists live and where you\u2019ll filter your content based on people or topics.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2417\" data-end=\"2536\">By default, the platform may load a sample list to show you how it works. You\u2019ll want to create your own lists instead.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2538\" data-end=\"2574\">Step 2: Click \u201cAdd People List\u201d<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2576\" data-end=\"2662\">Click to add a new people list. You can name this list anything you like. For example:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2663\" data-end=\"2733\">\n<li data-start=\"2663\" data-end=\"2674\">\n<p data-start=\"2665\" data-end=\"2674\">Prospects<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2675\" data-end=\"2688\">\n<p data-start=\"2677\" data-end=\"2688\">Influencers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2689\" data-end=\"2698\">\n<p data-start=\"2691\" data-end=\"2698\">Clients<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2699\" data-end=\"2715\">\n<p data-start=\"2701\" data-end=\"2715\">Industry Peers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2716\" data-end=\"2733\">\n<p data-start=\"2718\" data-end=\"2733\">Monday Contacts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2735\" data-end=\"2836\">You can even organise your lists by the day of the week if that helps you plan your daily engagement.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2838\" data-end=\"2874\">Step 3: Add People to Your List<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2876\" data-end=\"2901\">You\u2019ve got three options:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2903\" data-end=\"3102\"><strong data-start=\"2903\" data-end=\"2940\">Option 1: Manually Search and Add<\/strong><br data-start=\"2940\" data-end=\"2943\" \/>Use the search bar to find people by name. Click to add them to your list. This is ideal for adding specific people you already follow or want to keep up with.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3104\" data-end=\"3328\"><strong data-start=\"3104\" data-end=\"3146\">Option 2: Bulk Add Using LinkedIn URLs<\/strong><br data-start=\"3146\" data-end=\"3149\" \/>If you already have LinkedIn profile URLs, you can paste them straight into the upload field. Visit someone\u2019s profile on LinkedIn, copy their URL, then paste it into Commenter.ai.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3330\" data-end=\"3504\"><strong data-start=\"3330\" data-end=\"3361\">Option 3: Upload a CSV File<\/strong><br data-start=\"3361\" data-end=\"3364\" \/>You can upload a spreadsheet with the LinkedIn profile links. Commenter.ai will read the file and add everyone listed to your selected list.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3506\" data-end=\"3578\">Whichever method you choose, you stay in full control of who\u2019s included.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3580\" data-end=\"3607\">Keep Your Lists Focused<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3609\" data-end=\"3721\">To keep things manageable and avoid triggering LinkedIn\u2019s spam filters, each People List is capped at 27 people.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3723\" data-end=\"3882\">This cap is intentional. It\u2019s there to help you engage consistently without overdoing it. You can create as many lists as you want, but each one stays focused.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3884\" data-end=\"4030\">Smaller lists encourage more intentional commenting. You won\u2019t feel overwhelmed. You won\u2019t look robotic. And your engagement will feel more human.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4032\" data-end=\"4063\">How to Use Your People List<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4065\" data-end=\"4156\">Once your list is created, go back to the Post Feed and select your list from the dropdown.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4158\" data-end=\"4275\">The feed will now show you only posts from the people on that list. No distractions. Just the content you care about.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4277\" data-end=\"4388\">Now you can leave thoughtful comments, stay top of mind, and build stronger relationships without wasting time.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4390\" data-end=\"4408\">TLDR<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4410\" data-end=\"4588\">The People List feature in Commenter.ai gives you control over who you see and how you engage. It simplifies the process of showing up consistently and intentionally on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4590\" data-end=\"4843\">Instead of relying on chance or memory, you can focus your attention where it matters. Whether you\u2019re nurturing leads, building visibility, or strengthening relationships, your People Lists make it easier to show up in the right conversations every day.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4845\" data-end=\"4906\">Build your first list. Keep it focused. Show up consistently.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4908\" data-end=\"4997\">That\u2019s how connections turn into conversations and conversations turn into opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay visible to the people who matter most with less time, less guesswork, and more consistency.
