Things You'll Need:
- Twitter account
-
Step 1
When somebody starts following you, you will receive an email message telling you really important information that you need to carefully read.
-
Step 2
The email message you will receive from Twitter will tell you how many followers your new potential friend have, how many people he/she is following, and how many update he/she had made.
-
Step 3
Pay special attention to the Following/Followers ratio. If the guy is following more people than people who are following him, then there are great probabilities that he/she won't be worth to follow.
-
Step 4
If the Following number is greater (far greater) than the Followers number, then you can be pretty sure he/she is spam.
-
Step 5
If the Followers numbers is greater than the Following number, that means that person is maybe a good candidate to follow. Open his/her account and take a look to his/her latest updates.
-
Step 6
Always pay special attention to his/hep biography. That way you can determine if that person can give you valuable information.
-
Step 7
Don't follow people because they follow you. Don't play games. Only follow those that can give you real value with their tweets.
-
Step 8
Try to keep a 1:1 ratio in your account. Don't follow more people than those you are able to read. A good number is about 100 - 200.
