How to Use Twitter Automation to Increase Your Followers by 200%


Business By Social

Like any other social network, managing a Twitter account can be quite time consuming. Between following new users, following back followers, responding to direct messages, and tweeting, it can easily take up to an hour a day.

This is why Twitter automation tools can come in handy. Although Twitter automation is frowned upon and if used too aggressively, can lead to the suspension of your account, the proper use of Twitter tools can save you a lot of time and bring you great results.

A very effective tool to automate Twitter is narrow.io.

This Twitter automation tool allows you to build a targeted following, perform audience research as well as provide useful analytics for just $19 a month.

To get started with this Twitter auto follower app, you will need to create an account by supplying your email address and credit card information. Then, you’ll have to add keywords by clicking on “add keywords” on the top left hand side. Keywords can be hashtags, usernames, urls or even key phrases. This Twitter auto follower tool also allows you to be even more specific with your targeting with their “target bios” feature which allows you to follow people based on their profession.

For example, should you be a weight loss expert, you could add the following keywords:

@WeightWatchers (username)

www.everydayhealth.com (url)

#diet (hashtag)

#calories (hashtag)

lose weight (keyword phrase)

Once you’ve finished adding your list of keywords, the Twitter automation tool will like relevant tweets that include these keywords and follow users who include these keywords in their tweets.

After a few days, this Twitter auto follower system will create a report on the performance of the keywords. If following certain users who tweet using your choice of keywords doesn’t lead to them following you back, simply replace these keywords.

Narrow.io will calculate your conversion rate once it starts following users based on your selection. For example, should you follow 30 people a day and 15 of them follow you back, your conversion rate will be 50%. The higher your conversion rate, the better.

You can change the settings of your Twitter auto follow account by clicking on settings tab on the top right hand side. In the settings section, you will be able to target users according to language, as well as enable or disable the Twitter auto follow, auto favourite and auto unfollow features.

As aggressive automation is frowned upon and can lead to the suspension of your account, I recommend not enabling all features simultaneously and pausing the Twitter automation app from time to time. Plus, to remain on the safe side, perform some tasks manually such as following or unfollowing users when your app is paused.

Remember, social media is a people-to-people medium and to experience results, should not be completely automated.
