How To Get More Followers On Twitter. Check Out This Free Tool.

Do You Want To Get More Followers On Twitter?

This post is for those of you who know the basics of Twitter, and appreciate that if you intend to use it as a business tool then the name of the game is to get more followers on Twitter.

However, you can't just go and follow thousands of people yourself in the hope that they will follow you back because Twitter has a secret ratio of followers:following and if the difference between the two in your account becomes too great, then Twitter will stop you following anyone new until it evens out.  You'll know when this happens because you will keep on clicking on the 'follow' button and nothing happens!

I'm sure that someone outside of Twitter land knows what the ration is but it's not generally publicised and I don't really see the point in finding out when you can't do anything about it anyway.

So if you want to get more followers, you must…

1.  Ensure you have enough 'space' for more followers by unfollowing

2. Finding quality Twitterers to follow, who will follow you back

If you are at the secret maximum number of followers, then you will need to unfollow some of the followers you already have, but you want to make sure you only cut out the dead wood, and this is where ManageFlitter comes in.

Manageflitter connects to your twitter account and pulls in the info about your followers and then lets you select twitterers to unfollow based on parameters such as:

• Anyone not following you
• Inactive accounts
• Accounts with no profile image
• Occasional Twitterers

A word of caution however, I do recommend you don't just plough in, select everything and unfollow.  There may be people who you want to follow, who don't follow back – such as government or medical organisations.  There may also be people who publish valuable information but are not prolific twitterers and you don't just want to purge the whole lot without care.

Manageflitter is a free tool which will help you get more followers on Twitter without spending a day trying to figure out how it works.  It's dead simple. It's one of those little jobs you can do in front of the telly and should keep you going until your followers hit 5,000.

However, it's not just about the number of followers is it?  You want to be part of a thriving and active community and yet people and businesses start a Twitter account and then abandon it for various reasons.  They may close the business, move on, not see the value of Twitter – who cares, what matters is they are still sitting in your twitter account as dead meat. They won't see your valuable Tweet if they never turn the damn thing on!

So use Manageflitter to have a bit of a rummage and a clear out.
