Twitter has created a rule, no doubt to deter “automated bots” from making fake accounts that have no intention of

“following” people back once followed.

So what they have done is created a rule that says you can NOT “follow” more than 10% of the amount of people “following

you.”  And this is applied once you hit 2,000 followers.

ex. If you are “following” 2,000 people, then you can NOT “follow” another person until you are within the 10% mark, which

in this case would be 200… Meaning you would have to have 1801 people “following you” before you could add a single

follower.

So what do you do to solve this problem?

1. DO NOT “follow” Guru’s or people who do not follow people back. If you must follow them using a seperate account on

Twitter.

2. Use a software to “automatically unfollow” people who are not following you. I like using Tweet Adder which you can get

a Demo Version for free that is is limited in ceratin area’s BUT the “unfollow” feature is fully functional.

3. Always have valuable “tweets” so that people will follow you naturally.

Once I hit the 2k mark I started giving people 2 days to follow me back… And if they didn’t I “unfollowed” them.

However, now that I am close to 7,000 I allow 3 days for the “follow back”.

The most tedious time you will have is from about 2k to 4k. But once you hit 4k followers, now that 10% becomes 400 people

so this will give you some breathing room.

This will take time & effort but as mentioned you can use software to automate the process and this formula will allow you

a much easier ride to 10K followers and beyond.
