Let’s walk you through how to create your first lead list and start filling it with high-quality leads.
Step 1: Create a New Lead List
Go to the Leads section.
Click on “Create New List” at the top.
Give your list a name — something like “Investors” or “Startup Founders.”
Hit Save — your list is now ready to be filled.
Step 2: Choose How to Import Leads
Once your list is created, you’ll be able to add leads from multiple sources, including:
✅ Our internal X (Twitter) prospecting database
✅ Uploading a CSV
✅ Importing followers or following of another X/Twitter account
✅ Uploading a plain text file of usernames or user IDs
✅ Importing from likes, retweets, comments, or quote tweets of any post — yours or someone else’s (expect for likes where you can only import from your own posts)
We’re working on separate guides for each of these import methods soon.
Step 3: Add Leads (Example Using the Database)
Select Search Leads.
Use the filter bar to search by keyword — for example, let's say we're looking for investors.
Add a filter —Select the attribute Bio → choose the filter condition" Contains → and type in: investor.
TweetDM will search through our database of 1.5 billion+ profiles to find relevant matches.
You can now:
Drag and select the profiles you’re interested in.
Right-click to DM them directly
Click Add to List (top right corner) and select the lead list you just created.
That’s it!
You’ve created your first lead list and started importing leads — it’s that simple.
