Increase your Twitter following




There are myriad tools on the market that can increase your Twitter following. Some of these tools are better than others, some are free & some cost a lot of money.St James Systems have tested a large number of Twitter tools over the last 12 months with varying degrees of success. Many were excellent but only one could tick all the boxes. This was Tweet Adder.

The features that we are after as Internet marketers may well be a useful benchmark for those who are looking to build their Twitter profile & following. We are particularly interested in the following:

  • The ability to use multiple accounts quickly and simply
  • The ability to follow users who have mentioned a particular keyword or phrase in their tweets
  • The ability to follow users who mention keywords in their biography
  • Follow people within a certain distance of a geographical location
  • Automate the process of following people who are relevant
  • See statistics on the effects of this automated following in order to find the most successful following techniques over time.
  • To cease following when the following/followers ratio gets too high.
  • Automatically unfollow.
  • Maintain a 'Safelist' of users who are never to be unfollowed.
  • Send posts.
  • Schedule posts.


The results of using TweetAdder were impressive and the speed at which a following could be built up, when compared to the risk that the user was taking in following unrelated people was exceptional.

St James Systems were able to build up a following of 2,623 followers in under 2 months with an 18.3% conversion rate of following to followers.
