Need the short version?

This lesson is about build your first list and how to do it correctly the first time.

Step-by-step

How to do it

Read this section first. Each step tells you what to click, what to enter, and what should happen next. Use the video after the steps if you want to see the same flow in motion.

1
Choose the source

Start from a search result or import your own URL/domain list if you already have one. Confirm the result before you move to the next step. Start from a search result or imported URLs and build one focused list that has a single purpose.

2
Create the list

Name the list clearly so you can find it later and so your team understands the purpose. Confirm the result before you move to the next step. Give the list a name that explains the audience or job, because you will use that name again when you load or share it.

3
Save the foundation

Once the list is created, keep it as the base for filtering, enrichment, and export. Confirm the result before you move to the next step. Save the list immediately so you can apply tools, export it, or hand it to a teammate without rebuilding the source.

Watch the walkthrough

Use this video for better understanding this resource. The video bellow tries to explain more indeep this guide part.

Example

What this looks like in practice

A sales team creates a "New York SaaS Targets" list before running validation and contact discovery tools.

Common mistakes

Avoid these problems

  • Mixing unrelated lead types into one list and making later filtering harder.
  • Using a vague list name that nobody can identify later.
  • Treating a temporary search result as if it were already a saved workflow.
