Twitter Tuesday: Are you flooding your followers?
Looks like many Twitter users think a constant flood of Tweets is a good thing. Yeah, sure. You are more likely to get noticed (by your followers), if you Tweet more than once a day.
However drowning your followers with a Tweet after Tweet is not good either. Too many updates, too many hashtags, too many ReTweets and too many Tweets containing nothing but Twitter handles of your "friends" will cause you to lose the attention.
Not only your followers will leave you, many of them (the ones who don't want to be rude and unfollow) will be likely to at least turn off your ReTweets and mute the hashtags and maybe even keywords you use (this can be done with pretty popular app called Tweetbot). Speaking of muting, they may even start muting you for good.
Because your feed looks spammy, you won't seem like a human, but rather an automated and scheduled bot spitting out Tweets every minute. No one in their right mind will want to really really follow that.
If you want to gain more followers who actually care about your Tweets, stop flooding your feed with every single link you've stumbled upon. Tweet no more than 15 times a day (preferably less). This way you will get noticed by those who matter.
