How to increase twitter followers

michaelaeloise

Hi, i know this has probable been asked thousands of times but i'm struggling. Can someone please tell me how i can increase my followers and keep them? ive been comping on Twitter for quite a while but i can never get past the 560 mark, i gain a few and then when i log on the next day ive lost a few! what am i doing wrong? it would be great to not have to keep unfollowing people all the time
TIA X

Have you looked at this thread? Most people will follow you back, and I'm pretty sure that by increasing who follows you by one extra, you will be able to increase those you follow by more than one?...

The way to pick up some 'free' ones is also to RT or favourite people's posts - they will often follow you for doing that. Also, try posting a few posts that aren't related to comping, using whatever hashtags are trending that day, and you might pick up a few followers that way...

wouldn't worry about follow count. start to chase those, you best stay away!

If you don't worry about follower count, though, you risk losing the ability to add more follows until you have more followers? I thought that was how it worked...

The absolute max for following people is 2,000, but I've heard of others who've been stopped at a lower number because they don't have enough followers.

There is no limit for the amount you can follow - i always follow a lot less than follow me (thats excluding the comp account)

I always thought there was a limit, which was why people on here ask sometimes about deleting people they follow... D'oh me! :wall:

From the Twitter Help Center:
Every account can follow 2,000 users total. Once you’ve followed 2,000 users, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow. This number is different for each account and is based on your ratio of followers to following; this ratio is not published. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter and everyone is subject to limits, even high profile and API accounts.

I can follow 2001 users until it stops me - not sure where the extra 1 has come from !!
