Listly exists as a collaborative social platform to build the best crowd-sourced, ranked lists on the web. One of the best ways to get to know Listly is to make suggestions and contributions to other people’s lists.
A few ground rules:
-
Don’t suggest stuff that’s already on the list. Search/scan the list and make sure your contribution does not create additional work for the owner of the list.
-
Promote yourself and your product, but make sure it’s relevant and useful to the owner and audience for the list.
-
Don’t suggest stuff that’s not directly relevant. If you have orthogonal ideas, make a new list.
-
Do read any instructions the list owner may have provided in terms of contributions she is expecting from her audience.
-
And lastly, be nice and have fun!
How to add to other people’s list
- Visit the list and scroll to the section below the header with the button “Add To List”
- In the popup lightbox, pick the type of item you plan to add. In this case, we are adding a video from Youtube, so we pick Video.
- Paste the URL from YouTube
- Edit Title, description, tags, upload a different image if desired and hit save!
That’s it. If the list is moderated, then the owner of the list will have to approve your addition to the list.
