Currated Hot List Building Insights

After diving deep into the collective wisdom shared across numerous MOA threads, I've compiled a lot of the tips that have stood out so far regarding building, automating, and managing your 'Hot Lists.' The goal here is to save you the hours of searching and reading I've already done.

**I. Hot List Creation Strategies & Sources**

* **Define Your Type First:**

* Know your "exact type" of girl before building the list. aka define your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) in marketing terms.

* The benefit of building your own list is adding women that fit *your* perfect type.

* **The "One Nightclub, One Guy" Method (Breno GPC):**

* Identify ONE major nightclub frequented by your EXACT TYPE of girl.

* Identify ONE popular guy in your city with the same taste as you (promoter or popular with your niche).

* Both club and guy will follow ~2k people, mostly girls.

* Open their "Following" list in a web browser, select ALL profiles, scroll to bottom, copy/paste to a sheet.

* Remove duplicates (e.g., filter by "-contains "profile picture" -> delete").

* Separate usernames and names (e.g., using ChatGPT).

* Result: 80% of the list will be attractive/influential girls of your type.

* **Promoters & Venues:**

* Look up top promoters in your city (e.g., "Steve Dimopolous" for Vegas, "Jason Strauss" for NYC) and the venues they promote.

* Go through the "Following" list of these promoters and venues.

* Find club promoters and modeling agencies in your target city, then see who they follow. Search hashtags like #lapromoter, #vegasclubs, #nycmodels to find them.

* **Photographers & Modeling Agencies:**

* Finding photographers in your area is a great way to find models. Search "[City] Photographer" on IG.

* Check a photographer's page for models, then go to a model's page to find more photographers they've worked with (the "photographer/model hole").

* "Hotties hubs": Any account that posts attractive women is incredible for building the list.

* **High-Status Venues & Events:**

* Search your city on IG/web app (explore/locations) for hotspots where people tag themselves: high-end restaurants, clubs, cafes, 5-star hotels, rooftops.

* Scroll through "RECENT POSTS" for these locations.

* Sort tagged location posts by "top" to see pics with most engagement (hottest girls, high-status dudes).

* Bookmark venues, attend events, build social proof.

* **Individual Profile Exploration (Kyle Mullaney's Detailed Steps):**

* **Setup:** Thin spreadsheet on one side of the screen, IG on the other. Zoom IG for better pic visibility.

* **Scrolling:** Check followers, likes, comments. Hover over names for account preview.

* **Criteria for Adding To List:**

* Public accounts (red ring around profile pic = recent story = public).

* Looks like real people, recent posts (not OF/scammers).

* No obvious boyfriend/husband posts (personal preference to avoid drama).

* Personal attractiveness preference (e.g., "D Sized cups minimum, cute face, no pics with crazy eyes" - *this is Kyle's personal criteria*).

* Location tagged in bio or obvious association with the area (unless exceptionally hot).

* **Process:** Right-click name, open in new tab (to maintain scroll position). Copy IG link and name to sheet. Mark particularly interesting girls with an asterisk (*).

* **Following Trails:** When a source is exhausted, go to "*" girls on your list, check their followers/following.

* **Comments & Interactions:** Hot girls often comment on each other's posts – can be a faster lead finder than just follower lists.

* **Google Dorking:**

* Use Google search: `site:instagram.com "Beauty Influencer" "Location" "gmail"` (Alphonso Cornelius).

* **Follower Count Considerations:**

* If you have <10k followers, targeting girls with 0-30k followers might yield better results.

* Some find higher response rates from women with higher followings (10k+) who use IG for business, as they're more active and check DMs for opportunities.

* **List Size & Scope:**

* Aim for 2000-4000 girls and ~200 high-status people.

* List size isn't about city population but achieving your goal (e.g., 10-15 girls at an event might require 1000-1500 cold invites).

* Focus on your local area first, then expand. It's okay if some are not nearby (opens conversation if they visit).

* For transient places (e.g., Bali), list building is harder; expect churn.

**II. Automating & Outsourcing List Building**

* **Partial Automation (Ayo A's Method):**

* Step 1: Find photographers, pull their follower/tagged lists using tools (e.g., Growman - Chrome Extension, Apify).

* Step 2: Get a list of images and usernames.

* Step 3: Use ChatGPT to create a PowerShell script to download photos and name them by username.

* Step 4: Manually review images, put liked ones in a separate folder, then extract filenames (usernames) using PowerShell.

* **Scraping Tools & Extensions:**

* Bardeen (Chrome extension) can speed up manual copying.

* Google Script (created by ChatGPT) can organize copied lists in Google Sheets (separates text and hyperlinks).

* **Using Virtual Assistants (VAs):**

* Many recommend doing the first ~1000 yourself to understand your type and the process.

* VAs can be trained to scrape leads using your SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).

* You can focus on finding "source accounts" while VAs do the scraping.

* Fiverr: Test multiple VAs with small tasks ($5 for 1 hour of scraping). Prioritize quality and following directions over speed.

* Job description for Fiverr: "scrape followers on IG."

* VA middle ground: VA builds a suggested list, you review and approve/reject. *You must be somehow directly involved.*

* Some VAs/agencies specialize in this (e.g., Jordan Woods, Ayo A mentioned as expert).

* **Consideration:** Automating profile selection means you can't perfectly nail down quality based on *your* subjective attraction. A Tinder-style swipe interface for scraped profiles could speed up manual filtering.

**III. List Management & Organization**

* **Spreadsheet Setup:**

* Columns: Name, IG Link, Location (crucial for local events), Notes (e.g., "*", status type).

* Use tables with names and links, with an individual table/tab for each location.

* Keep nearby areas close in the sheet for easy access.

* **Purging & Refining:**

* As lists grow (e.g., to 1,000 for an area), get pickier.

* Remove the "bottom bitches" (e.g., 10% of the worst-looking or least suitable).

* "Your lists are only as good as your worst lead."

* **Event-Specific Spreadsheets:**

* Create a new spreadsheet for each event.

* Clone a "gold copy" or template for each new event.

* Segment your master list (e.g., by open/closed thread, funnel level, attractiveness, style) and copy-paste the relevant segment to the event sheet.

* Update the master list with information gathered from the event spreadsheet (e.g., attendance, responsiveness).

* **Avoiding Complications:**

* Initially, avoid private accounts and accounts with no location (unless very hot or tagged by others).

* Focus on what’s simple: very attractive women, lots of followers, shared locations of high-status venues.
