Twitter Following Figures

[Bush_JSM]

Hi Mozzers,

Does anyone know what an acceptable figure is for daily following on Twitter?

I've read lots of conflicting views and Twitters guidelines are vague.

I'm starting to follow users so I can get them to follow me back so I can build an audience to engage with. I want to do this more aggressively but whats the threshold to avoid getting banned?

Thanks

You can follow as many people as you like daily. Tweet wise, I think after 250 tweets or so, you get asked to come back later. Wait an hour or so and everything should be ok again.

Remember, you want an audience that are interested in you and your service. No point having 50,000, 95 year olds following you if you sell Club 18-30 holidays.

Pick your audience to follow, then try engage and interact with people who you think are good for you. Usually if you follow a celeb and reply to their post, their followers could see that reply and may follow you, so you get people interested in the same stuff.

Get retweets from anyone is good, so maybe be cheeky, ask for a follow so you can DM them, then DM them some sales speech on how you can work together or whatever.

It takes time, over 7 months I have grew our twitter from 40 to 1,350 followers. Which I think is great progress. All natural followers from interacting with my audience and others.
