Here’s a scenario: You were new to twitter, you saw people with thousands (millions in some cases) of followers and thought If I can get this kind of following on Twitter I can give a boost to my business or maybe you wanted to create a name for yourself in the digital world.

So, you start searching for ways to increase followers and register on one of the hundreds of tools to automate your following and unfollowing activities. So, you follow a hundred users each day and unfollow those who don’t follow you back in a day or two.

But there’s one teeny-tiny problem here: Twitter monitors the behavior of its users and blocks the accounts who indulge in such activities of following users using a pattern known as Follower Churn.

What is Follower Churn?

Twitter monitors its users regularly for patterns of usage to understand their behavior. So, if a user is using a tool to regularly follow a large number of users and unfollowing those who doesn’t follow back in a few days is likely to get caught as his usage pattern will be:

What will Twitter do if my Twitter usage pattern matches a follower Churn pattern:

• Twitter has clearly mentioned in its rules and policies that it blocks accounts If you have followed and/or unfollowed large amounts of users in a short time period, particularly by automated means (aggressive following or follower churn).

What should I do if my account gets blocked?

•Generally, An account is blocked for 8-10 days if the user has done such an act for the first time.

• Most users get an email from twitter about their account getting blocked. You need to reply to that mail and wait for a few days till your account gets active.

Now, the Big Question: How to intelligently increase Twitter followers without getting blocked? Here are a few steps on how you can increase Twitter followers without getting your account blocked:

• The first step would be to stop using unsophisticated tools and start using advanced tools. Our tool myRosys for that matter is one of the more advanced tools and performs the task of following and unfollowing in a clever manner. It gives you a complete list of those people whom you followed but didn’t follow you back with the dates on which you followed them. Now, you can follow some 50 people every day and unfollow around 40 who didn’t follow you. This will leave a churn but that would be of the length of -10 only. Remember: The greater the churns, the greater the chances of your account getting blocked.

• Never use the auto follow back feature because it creates a churn and helps Twitter in understanding your intentions of increasing your followers by using automation tools. Sophisticated tools such as myRosys don’t give an option of auto Follow back.

• Try following people over a period of weeks rather than following people over days.

• Lastly, it is your tweets that matter the most. So rather than posting irrelevant quotes or memes, try posting great content which is specific to your industry. myRosys helps you to schedule your tweets so that you can schedule tweets to be posted over a period of weeks or months. Increasing your follower base is all about engagement and myRosys surely helps you with that. Try posting interesting tweets to increase followers with the above mentioned tactics to increase the follower count exponentially.
