Here is an article I agree with 100%. I wouldn’t say 110%, as 100% means fully. I fully agree with this tweet. There are some other useful articles on the blog. Do read through the blog. Some people are humans, (just a few among the many bots, self boosters, and money rats) and we need to appreciate such Human beings. Thanks.
PS > My profile photo has vanished but I am not an egg. Don’t eat me up for breakfast.
Top 5 Reasons I Will Unfollow You
Anyways, all that in another post. I just went on a mass un-follow trip. It was great watching my own follower number drop from all the bots returning the favor!! I am completely fine with that because I want quality followers. Period.
I want followers who wish to engage with me, will take action on my tweets, and just, well love me! So, this post is about the top 5 reasons I will un-follow you or did un-follow you.
- I follow you and receive an automated DM. BOOOO! They generally suck big time and unless it points me to a pretty cool page, I’m gone. If it takes me to your home page, yuck.
- You are a F4F nut. Follow for follow drives me batty. This does not mean that if 2 people decide on their own to follow the other, this is the constant “follow me back” tweeters. If I follow you, it’s because I want to and not because I owe you. I would assume if you follow me, you want to. I don’t mass follow people blindly. I actually prefer to utilize Gail’s strategy over at Growmap. BIG difference between that and mass, blind follows.
- Your a Tweet Whore. Pardon the expression, but it is what it is. If all you do is tweet, tweet, tweet your own stuff…bye. I have no use for selfish tweetle-dums. (feel free to use that ) Obviously we all want to promote ourselves and that’s okay..but use discretion. The more you give, the more you get.
- You Never Acknowledge Me. Okay, yes I need attention.
If I RT you, please acknowledge that. I have been seriously testing out manually doing 98% of my Twitter activities. It takes 2 seconds to thank someone. Or answer their tweet. Someone took the time to send your goods to the masses, the least yu can do is be grateful.
- You’re An Egg. When I went through my mass un-follow, I saw so many people that looked alike! I mean, I had no idea how many people looked like my breakfast. Seriously, if you have the egg, no matter what color, as your profile pic, you are a doody head. I want to see you and the real deal so that I know who Im dealing with….otherwise I just want to cook you and that is no good for either of us!
So, there you have it. My top 5 reasons to un-follow someone on Twitter. Now, I do understand that some of the big players may not have a lot of time to make it personal, but seriously, I think it’s manageable for a lot of us. And couldn’t some of the big wigs outsource their Twitter work? Just a thought.
Okay, give it your best shot. Tell my why you un-follow people and what makes you cringe about some Twitter practices.
I would love it if you shared this!
