I want a bullet list with arrows instead of bullets, like:

=> Line 1
=> Line 2

I tried this, but it returned some error:

\begin{itemize}{labelitemi}{$\Rightarrow$}[leftmargin=1em]
 \item Line 1
 \item Line 2
\end{itemize}

(I took the code from here) It should be simple, but I couldn't figure it out from enumitem's manual. How do I go about this?

I think the question you're linking to is meaning another syntax, but this works :

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}%[leftmargin=1em]
  \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{$\Rightarrow$}
 \item Line 1
 \item Line 2
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

    Why isn't that working when using beamer?

In addition to the provided answers, if you use enumitem package, instead of redefining the label for all your itemize environments, you can define a new arrowlist environment which uses arrows instead of bullets, leaving the standard itemize unnaffected.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\newlist{arrowlist}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[arrowlist]{label=$\Rightarrow$}

\begin{document}

\begin{arrowlist}
\item Line 1
\item Line 2
\end{arrowlist}

\end{document}

    Note that you should avoid using enumitem along with beamer. If you just want to define a new list (like here) you might use \usepackage[loadonly]{enumitem} (see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52274/…).

 \renewcommand\labelitemi{$\Rightarrow$}

The easiest way is to use enumerate, unlike enumitem, this works also with the beamer package

\begin{enumerate}[$\Rightarrow$]
 \item 
    .
    .
    .
  \item
\end{enumerate}
