I believe you have mistaken what a ping list is. It's a list of people who have already requested a ping (in this case, when you have a nest hatch) and not something you can assemble by pinging random people.
If you do have people who have requested pings then you may ping them once whatever they've requested has happened (new hatchlings, specific hatchlings, etc.).

A "ping list" is simply a list of users who have asked to be alerted ("pinged") by @ing their username when something specific happens. Simply label what the list will be pinged for - new hatchlings, adding new pairs, etc. - and wait for interested players to stumble on your hatchery.
When other players ask to join a specific pinglist by commenting on your thread, you can add their username to the specified pinglist(s). I recommend pinging them when doing so, both to notify the user that they've been added, and to make each list easier to copy/paste when you need to use them.
A hatchery typically has a "general" pinglist, which is pinged when you make any notable updates to the hatchery, and unique pinglists for each individual hatchery pair. For example, when you have new hatchlings from Disco Party to sell, you would ping both the general pinglist and the Disco Party pinglist.
Just add a new reserve post, and list each pair's name as well as a "general" pinglist. For an example of how this looks, here's my hatchery's pinglist. We also have a distinct "New Pairs" pinglist, which is pinged alongside the general list whenever we make a new pair.
For general hatchery questions, I recommend SaltWizard's So You Want to Start a Hatchery (2) guide as a helpful reference for the business side of things.
For aesthetics, Avifors' How to Make a Hatchery Thread is a solid guide to formatting your thread, for both form and function.
If you're not sure how to price your dragons, see Nightwind's Guide. Good luck!

@nightwind , a;lskdfj I knew I didn't explain it right sorry. I meant, advice on creating an excel sheet that I can link to my hatchery so people can sign up for pings when certain nests hatch. Does that make sense?

If you trust that your sheet won't be defaced/vandalized by people then sure, any google sheet (for example) works as long as you set it to publicly accessible and writable. Just have various sections set for specifics if you have more than one reason to ping people.
If you don't trust people you can do the same but have it locked and add/remove names yourself so it's just a visible record.
