This is very easy and will take you under an hour of work total. The basic idea is to follow a bunch of people in the niche you are in, then the next day you unfollow everyone that isn't following you back. Then rinse, repeat.

How do you do this? Easy. I created a free tool that will do this for you. The tool is called FlashTweet.

So here's the method:

Login to Flashtweet using your Twitter account (don't worry I don't store or look at your passwords). Now click on the Mass Follow link. This will allow you to follow other users friends 100 at a time. So find someone in your niche that has a lot of followers. For example "shoemoney" has 20,000 followers for the internet marketing niche. So you would put "shoemoney" in on the mass follow page. His friends will then be listed 100 at a time. You can than select all and follow them. Keep doing this until you are following 2000 people. 2000 is the max you can follow until you get 2000 following you, then its a free for all.

So once you are following 2000 people just wait a day. Many people will follow you back just for following them. For best results have a hot girls pic in your profile. By the next day you should have about 350-450 followers. K so the next day log back into flashtweet and choose the "Following Only" link. This will display all the people you are following that are not following you back. These people are in the way of you breaking your 2000 followers cap so they should be dumped. Check select all and mass unfollow all of them. You will have to do this page by page (100 at a time). Now go back to the mass follow link and mass add more people until you reach 2000 again. Rinse, Repeat.

Within 3 days I was able to get 1100 followers with my real account. Accounts with hot girls you will see better results.

All flashtweet bugs and updates will be posted on my blog:

There are limitations to this tool. Twitter only allows 100 requests per hour per account. Each request grabs 100 friends/accounts. So if you have more than 10,000 friends (100 X 100) this tool will not work for you. But then again if you have even 7,000 followers you are in twitters top 1000 and you dont need this tools help.

Looks good, will check it out soon, have you got any recommendations on limitations before getting your account banned or is it safe with this tool?

i haven't gotten any accounts banned yet. made three new accounts go over 1000 so far. I have used it on my real twitter account so I will post here if it gets banned.

Good info,

I'm a little confused as to how to montenize a twitter account.

Just post enticing tweets to get people to read your articles and go to your site.

Very interesting.I will try it very soon to see how many followers will i get for 1 hour of work :d.
Thank you

Will post stats

obviously there's no way you would know until you see that your account has been changed/updated without you doing it haha. but i want this tool to become popular and stealing passwords is not the type of fame i want this tool to bring.

haha ok, just a bit leery of good free stuff, looks like a good toll tho, ill start using it

if i understand this right, this is already possible. read:

I have had many twitter accounts banned. So I don't see how you have seemed to not get any banned yet... Though I can run my other app for about 1 week 24/7 adding/removing people before they get hit. I will def test it out.

What does it matter about the passwords? It is a freaking twitter account not your damn bank account, they are disposable!

Wow! I vote this guy for Jr. VIP. Someone please give him Jr. VIP. I spent hours building my twitter account followers but now this will really help. I hope this service stays up. Thank you vidgod!

Thansk for this.

sweet great site man

This tool is awesome! thanks!

i just wondered over to your site and loaded the first 100 people..very cool, Wish you kick ass luck in your new venture. quick question, when i went to follow somebody in my niche..they had a row of numbers..displayed on the page...
question is will the system..yours keep track of which pages i have used..? i am assuming that the pages are in 100 lots as this is the systems limit? or should i open a notepad and just keep track manually to make sure i don't resend or something..?

If i missed something ..duh..please feel free..thanks i added you as a friend as well.

i hope to add this feature soon i just got a couple small tweaks to do first. i also have to figure out a way to add this functionality while minimizing fetches to twitter. i cache enough friend info as it is so im not sure of how im going to tackle it yet.

here's my results for the last 3 days

you gotta give me more info, could you PM me the errors you are getting? The only reason I see it doing this is if you already used your 100 requests in an hour.

Very good tool. I build up about 400 in over a day. I didn't as much as I should of. But damn its powerful.

thanks,

LMAO...i checked the first one hundred and got added by two followers IMMEDIATELY. looks good.
only question is that on your site you say NOT to follow more than 100/hour? is that what I'm getting? or is it safe to follow more? What are the guidelines with twitter re: following people so you don't get banned.

edit, okay i see now, you can only grab 100 per page. i'm still curious about friend limits though

Twitter is random as hell. I got banned for adding 50 people in one day once. and yet other times ive added hundreds in a day. Depends how many of those people a) complain about you b) Block you.

I think the main red flag for twitter staff is people blocking you when you friend request them. But if your twitter is half interested they will just not follow you back, not necessarily block you.

wow this is awesome vidgod

By the way, do u guys know of any guides or methods that I can follow to monetize twitter with CPA offers? IS it as simple as just twitting an offer and that's it?

if you are tweeting a random cpa then i would create as many shit accounts as you can with as many followers as you can and just update the hell out of them with random email/zip submits. but ultimately, for long-term return, gain a targeted list of followers and post your blog posts or whatever related content you can to convince them that you are a legit niche related genius haha. you can easily spoof a web-head persona if you have the follower count to back you up. i lauched my blog a couple days ago and have gotten 400 hits from my twitter referals alone in the first two days just because i targeted fellow internet marketing followers for my internet marketing blog, not that im spoofing my knowledge though

Awesome posts and even better tool Vid. It's great to see another that recognizes the potential of Twitter.

Have you had them banned recently? they don't penalize you for following mass amounts of people anymore as stated on their new support page so you should be fine. I know they have banned in the past before the 2k limit. Here's an excerpt:

If I hit a follow limit, does it mean I'm considered a spammer?
No. Although aggressive following can be considered a spam tactic in some cases, Twitter does not use follow limiting to monitor spammers. Though follow limits do help with spam control, the limit itself improves site performance by ensuring that when we send a person's message to all of their followers, the sending of that message is meaningful. We believe that following 2000 people is a reasonable limit for the number of people an average person can follow.

so follow away boys.

Thanks - great site. Tested it on my real account - got myself 8 new followers in last 30 mins. Now creating another account to push it properly.

I am new to twitter but if i understand this correctly, then you can have 2000 max following you. So if i was to create 5 accounts each will have a couple of friends, most of them with BIG lists of followers and i was to to follow 2000 ppl max in each account and then re route them to my site, would that mean that i would get mroe users to my site , could i do like 100 twitter accounts and make them follow me to my site, would your site allow me to do that. I know am asking bam-bam questions from the flintstone age but just making sure. I might like doing this for free traffic, and by the way i would definitely vote for you to become a jr.vip. I would definitely make this kind of tools but I am not good at any server-side language, but i can build desktop applications, so if you need any desktop applications implementation of this tool shoot me a pm I will definitely help you on this.

Woke up this morning to almost 250 followers. Nice. I was wondering though.....if someone is already following me from my search based on (for example), "pets", and then they're asked today for a follow on my search for "dogs"...what happens?

you can have an unlimited amount of people following you. you can only follow max 2000 people until you have 2000 following you. not sure i understand your question.

could you pm me with any desktop apps you've made/worked on?

glad to hear it's working for you.

if you are already following that person and you try to follow them again it wont hurt anything that person will just remain as be followed.

Guys thanks so much for all the great feedback. If you're having success with the product please don't hesitate to click the digg button on the homepage. i had to get a dedicated server for this project to keep it from crawling so i need all the hits i can get to try and break even while keeping the ads minimal.

Thanks again guys.

hey vidgod, just noticed something today that i didn't yesterday, when i'm doing a mass follow, after the first page of follows, it returns and says, "Please allow 24 hours for twitter to update your new user data."

is that normal? and i'm still not clear on how many follows i can do per day. not by flashtweet's rules but by twitter. this is a fairly new account for a white hat site so i'd prefer not to get blown off.
so -
is there a per day limit on follows i can request and is there a max followers per profile limit?
thanks

i have to change that message. twitter updates in realtime, my site doesn't. my site caches your user data which expires after 24 hours or if you relogin. i did this to avoid the twitter fetch limits.


i hit the max follow limit everyday and haven't been banned yet. twitters new support page says they do not penalize people for being a followaholic and the method they now use to defer spammers is the 2000 cap.

to get an account banned you have to piss people off by constantly tweeting aff links or shit like that

is that per day?? per day right? not total. i'm seeing people on there with 100,000 friends.
