Twitter Follow Limits – Don’t push your limits

What are the Twitter follow limits?
 
Twitter enforces a following limit of 2000 people per account, unless you have more than 2,000 followers yourself. If you have more than 2,000 followers, you’re able to follow a number that is different for every account, based on the number of people who follow you. You can always follow 2,000 people, if more than 2,000 follow you, you can follow a number higher than 2,000 that is determined by the number of people following you.
 
If this was easy…a monkey could do it. Not so much. But it is simpler than one might think.
 
Bottom line, you will need to have more followers before you can continue following more users. These are the steps I suggest if you are following less than 2000 so you are not banned from Twitter and is explained in my Turbo Charge Video Series.
 
Day 1) Add 100 – 200 friends with using Twollo or Tweetspinner (automated) or Twello (manual adds).
 
Day 3 or 4) Automate or manually Prune or Purge some of those friends who are not following you back using Tweetspinner or Twollo to keep your Twitter follow ratio at a safe percentage. Repeat this process over and over until you have followed 2000 and 2000 are following you then you would be safe to follow more people each day when your ratio is kept at or under 105%.
 
I think this is the best way to keep your twitter accounts safe when starting out.
 
Rules of the Road: Follows and Unfollows
 
Do not engage in follower churn! Twitter considers aggressive, repeated following and unfollowing to be “follower churn” and they suspend accounts engaged in this.
 
The definition of “follower churn” is a difficult one. Twitter is rather vague about it, largely because if they specifically define it, people will use this as a signpost for how far they can push the limits.
