I’d like to share my strategy to get new followers.
Sometimes the first problem is: who are the better accounts to get followers?
obviously depending on the niche.
And so, I planed that strategy. For each accounts, I check the “FollowBack ratio”, and put the best Accounts with Higher % of followback ratio, in an excel account like this:
NAME ACCOUNT TOPIC COUNTRY FOLLOWBACK RATIO
An example:
I’m managing a travel account. And account @travelTOP has 45% as ratio. So, I check that account if is only travol or also lifestyle, or automotive, about mans or women.
So I will fix that account @travelTOP in my excel doc (or other docs if you want) under NAME ACCOUNT, and in the topic I will sign “travel, Women, Lifestyle and so on”
In that mode, I can use that account for other clients who has the topics in target.
What do you think about it?
I hope these indications are useful
I mean do you follow 100 people of one source than you take a look how the ratio is or do you follow 200/300/…? I mean you can follow 2 people of one source and one is following you back - the ration would be 50% (But that wouldn’t say much)
How do you find the best accounts in the first place?
Need to be careful just checking the follow back ratio as you could end up with 45% of bots. Do you check the quality of the followers manually or rely on heavy filtering?
Not all followers are created equally
I check manually the Account before add in Follow Sources. And in setting I flag “user has posted at least once in his story” and “user posted within the last x days” (5 days)
And also, don’t unfollow user that commenter and so on.
With that Strategy, about my accounts, I have good results…
I’ve found success by digging deep into a niche. My personal brand is within the travel/nature niche and after enough digging I found a bunch of account with absolute garbage content but a surprising amount of followers (2-40k). I don’t even remember how I stumbled upon this chain of accounts but they’re not automated and their followers are real, it did take a bit of time to find them though.
