Let’s begin!
Why remove inactive Twitter followers?
Having a successful Twitter presence is all about engagement. Therefore, when you share a new post, the number of people who like, comment, quote-tweet, and view it contributes towards your overall Twitter engagement.
There are several reasons why removing inactive followers is important::
- Improves your social credibility:
When the ratio of engagement to followers is high, your credibility gets a boost. Many engaged followers show that your content is valuable and interesting to others.
- Better audience insight:
With active followers, you have a clearer picture of your audience. You can learn what content they enjoy and create posts that meet their expectations.
- Increased visibility and reach:
Twitter’s algorithm favors accounts with high engagement. So, the more followers engage with your posts, the higher the chances of Twitter promoting them—it’s a virtuous circle.
- Enhanced brand image and loyalty:
An active Twitter follower base enhances your brand, and by posting regularly, you foster loyalty.
Win-win.
Understanding Twitter Followers: Active, Inactive, and Everything in Between
Followers are the lifeblood of your Twitter presence, but not all followers are created equal. Therefore, it’s important to analyze and classify the types of followers that exist. For the purpose of this article, we’ll divide them as follows:
Active followers:
Consistently engage with your tweets via likes, retweets, and replies—they’re the ones who add ‘spark’ and energy to your conversations. They can function as broadcasters, supporters, and retweeters, but either way, they represent accounts that are actively engaged with your content. They’re your ‘Twitter tribe.’
Networkers & connectors:
You might hear from these accounts less often. They may follow many others and not notice your content all the time, but they’re still interested in it. They like and share your tweets and they tweet out your tag occasionally. They contribute to your Twitter presence.
Inactive Twitter Followers:
Those ‘Twitter ghosts’ who never interact with your posts and contribute nothing to your Twitter engagement. They might have limited interest in Twitter as a platform or be suffering from overwhelmed timelines.
They may have forgotten their login details or taken a permanent or semi-permanent departure from the Twitterverse. Either way, they don’t contribute value to your Twitter presence and they do nothing to boost your engagement rates.
Furthermore, inactive Twitter followers can undermine your account’s credibility because your impressive follower stats fail to show up in your level of engagement.
Engagement is vital on Twitter. It helps spread content and it strengthens your relationship with followers. High engagement rates indicate that your content resonates with your audience.
Using TwitterAudit to Remove Inactive Twitter Followers
Naturally, the first thing you’ll need to do is to identify your inactive followers. The signs are quite straightforward. They won’t have tweeted in a long time, their profile may be unfinished or lackluster, and their tweets may be spaced out over long periods.
One way to do this is to manually scroll through your follower list to identify these accounts, but this can be a frustrating and time-consuming process.
You can probably think of several other useful things you’d rather be doing.
