What should I do with 450,000 followers?

Jump off a cliff and see if they follow.

Jump off a cliff and see if they follow.

Jump off a cliff and see if they follow.

Jump off a cliff and see if they follow.

Throw together a webpage full of ads, cover it with memes and pictures taken from the front page of reddit, and tweet links with a little blurb like "lmao so tru tho"

You'll make a milli dollars.

>>617313

howd you get that many followers?

>>617348

He jumped off a cliff

>>617350

brb jumping off a cliff

>>617348
Someone made a post about this. The idea goes like this. Follow a bunch of people, retweet their stuff. They will follow back. Unfollow people that don't follow you. Rinse and repeat.

Sounds like it could work. I might try it out.

>>617361

Works for me. Up 500 followers in 3 days. It's starting to take off. Today I alone I made over 100 followers without following anybody.

>>617361

What software do you need for this and what else, proxies and/or VPNs or dedicated IPs?

>>617370

Yes. You need Leenux too. Go back to /g/

>>617361

would this method work with instagram?

>>617374
I don't know. I assume it would work anywhere where people get social cred from having lots of friends, or followers, or anything.

Put them into gas chambers.

>>617419
lol anon, multiple studies show that there weren't even 450,000 people who used twitter before OP came up for his plan. People are just exaggerating things for their own ends now

>>617313

monero > bitcoin

>>617390

this op

>>617361
This exactly. I've got multiple accounts, this one took ~8 months. It scales pretty well, once you get up to about 20,000 it becomes incredibly easy.

>>617668

How much does a twitter account with 20k steady followers sell for?

>>617366
That's a nice start anon - What's you niche?

Fuck ur mom

>>617313

Create an iphone game, shill it on your twitter.

>>617839
Fuck if I know, I hadn't even looked into it. I"m using this to push people toward products/links. Also under the table selling shoutouts.

Also, forgot to mention I use a python based twitter bot for follows/favorites/unfollows. It helps a TON.

>>619222
Selfmade or downloaded?
Either way, any chance you'd share it?

>>619279
Alright thanks, don't know why I double posted btw.

OP here,

Just started three new accounts. So far the stats on the following:

1. 145 followers
2. 41 followers
3. 23 followers

I"ll update this thread with daily progress.

>>619279

fuck. wish I was smart enough to get this sort of shit.

Just woke up, here's the numbers. Keep in mind I haven't followed anyone new.

1. 181
2. 63
3. 60

Some how #3 got a lot of natural traffic.

>>619663
Nice! What topics are the accounts on?
I have one that is about tech news and one that is about diy stuff for girls.
both at around 200 followers after a couple of days.
Should be going a lot faster now that I got the script that you shared to work.

>>619720

1. Tech related
2. "Person" account
3. Architecture

Also I'm trying out some new scripts I found for instagram...will make a new post when I find that I'm satisfied.

The twitter follow limit is 2000. How is everyone here surpassing it?

>>619758

[citation needed]

>>619762
https://support.twitter.com/articles/66885-why-can-t-i-follow-people#

I'm guessing that the equal follow/follower ratio is generally equal so that you can surpass it? 7

so what are some good settings for this bot that would not get me banned? how many people can I follow per day?

>>619774
Very easy to pass if you're on top of your unfollows too.

Starting again today.

1. 233
2. 138
3. 132

Haven't started the follow/unfollow/fav yet today.

>>620573
can you give some directions on how to set up that Python Twitter bot? I seriously have no clue and failed miserably yesterday...

>>617344
sad but true

>>617344
Could you give an example of a website like that? lmao lol so tru tho

>>620600
9gag.com

>>620585
Yeah, I tried setting it up on my server, but to get it to interact with the python Twitter CLI (which is terrible) was all but impossible.

What issues are you guys running into?

If you're on windows download and install python via the exe.

Download the script, extract zip.

Open CMD, navigate to folder you extracted it.

Type py to enter python console.

Then follow the instructions on the github page.

>>620642
Was trying it on a CentOS box. I couldn't quite figure out how to get the script to run based on the OAuth token that I connected it with.

>>620642
>>620645
What phone numbers did you use when authorizing twitter for app development?

>>620672
Stupidly, my own - should I change that? I haven't done much so far, so I doubt if that'll be a problem.

>>620672
>>620680
Google voice

>>620689
Are there alternatives for non US citizens?

>>620692
No idea man, never even bothered to look. I'm sure you could probably find a Russian equiv. They always have something similar.

>>620642
the github page says easy_install twitter, after about 30min of browsing stackoverflow here is what worked for me:

>installed python 3.4.2
>google how to modify the PATH variable on your OS
>modify the PATH variable to contain ;C:\python34;C:\python34\scripts
>use pip and not fucking easy_install, as it comes preinstalled with python 3.4.2
>cmd
>python -m pip install twitter

ya did it. look into the C:/python34/scripts to check if the twitter crap is there

Twitter bots looks incredibly fun... I added it to my projects list

>>620642
how do I add that "python Twitter" in the first github? Never used Python and I have no idea how to add APIs

Tell them to follow me.

>>620642
>>620879
okay maybe I am too retarded. Here's what I am doing:
>Go to Github
>download zip of
>"You will need to install Python's python-twitter library first:"
>Download Python's Twitter library (no idea how to install it though)
>create dev account on twitter and generate OAuth token
>Manually edit this script and put those tokens in the script (what the fuck does this mean?)

That's as far as I got. Fuck, I am just too retarded I guess

>>620983
1. Download Python 2.7.9 , Install it!
https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. My computer -> Right click -> properties -> Advenced settings -> Environmental variables -> edit path ->Add ";C:\Python27\Scripts"
3.Click Start
4. Write "cmd" in search
5. Write in cmd "easy_install twitter" or "pip install twitter". You choose.
6. Now you have twitter library

>>621015

You da real MVP anon

>>621015
oh wow thanks, worked like a charm!..but then I again I have no idea where to go from here. Do I have to add the script from the github into the dev app on Twitter?

>>621065
>>621067
Thanks! :)

>>621067
I actually do not know because I stopped when I had to use my phone number.

>>621074
I see. Well thanks anyways, at least I got that part down!

>>621074
What country are you in? Google Voice opened up internationally a while ago.

>>621067
Negatory,

Download the script. Extract, edit the file with your auth information from apps.twitter.com

Open CMD, navigate to the folder it's in.

Type py or python to enter console.

Then you can start using the commands:

H:\twitter>py
Python 3.4.2 (v3.4.2:ab2c023a9432, Oct 6 2014, 22:16:31) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AM
D64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from twitter_follow_bot import auto_follow
>>>

>>621080
Latvia.

Ok, I will try again later.
But still. wikipedia says that you need an US number to activate and when I go to voice.google.com I get redirected to https://support.google.com/chat/answer/3379791
Is that supposed to happen?

>>621099
Hmm, weird, because they did this whole PR stunt about opening it internationally.

>>621085
thank you so much for helping me, just a few questions though:

1. TWITTER_HANDLE, what should I add here? The request type?

2. >navigate to the folder it's in.

navigate to the folder what is in?

3.>Type py or python to enter console.

not working. Can I just start python.exe?

And as soon as I am done, I just type those from twitter bot etc. into the console, and it executes them?

Thanks again!

>>621141
also it keeps saying "no module named twitter_follow_bot" if I type any of the commands in cmd

>>621085

Correction: YOU da real MVP anon

>>621085
Can you make a walkthrough on how to do this?

How much do you make from this? Do you file this on your taxes?

>>621141
1. Your twitter username

2. The script you downloaded from github

3. Try typing python instead of py. I believe 2.x python you use python and 3.x python is py

>>621931
oh fuck I got it to run finally! I just had to start it in the IDLE shell

Thank you so much for your help, it's working great now!

In what way does this script unfollow people that don't follow you back: does it automatically only unfollow someone after, let's say, 3days since you followed them? Or if not, how do you set this up?

>>617374
Instagram is even easier. I paid a freelancer to do it, but you could do it this if you know how to code - write up a bot to follow/unfollow, rinse and repeat, AND comment the fuck out of every account you can find. If you look on any Instagram page these days, you'll find photo comments like "Dope photo bruv, follow me back?" Then when you get ___ followers, you can sell shoutouts for ___ per pop or just sell the accounts to some idiot like I did last year.

>>620839
Nah man, Twitter and Facebook are dead. They've stepped up their game so that it's impossible to advertise without buying ads. For example, Facebook pages used to have crazy reach, and xxx,xxx fans would actually net you thousands a month, but now the algorithms are "improved" so that all you see on your news feed are stuff from friends and even the biggest fan pages are a fraction of their previous worth a few years ago. Same thing goes with Twitter, botting it is pointless.

If you want to bot social media, go with some new crap like Instagram, or IDK, Vine or Snapchat or whatever kids are using these days.

>>622625
And still I make 2000$ off Twitter every month.

>>622625
Or all of them.

Really, if you've got the time it's best to just expand across all, so when one of them fucks you, then you aren't fully fucked. Although I don't even bother with facebook now.

>>617313
How did you get so many followers?

Same way I did: grinding. Follow, flush, repeat. Spread across multiple accounts. Curate content and publish on a regular schedule.

>>623749
But doesn't following and flushing a lot of people trigger some twitter algorithm and deactivates your account?

>>623778

If you push too hard, yes.

>>623785
Alright, so after some research, it seems that the follow limit per day is 1000. Is the follow limit the same?

Guys, after following this thread and the other one (its gone) i decided to try it.

So i had my twitter account since 2010 but never used it, it was easy to set up as a tech news profile.

So i deployed the git hub twitter bot, and in 2 days im looking at 100 followers.

I don't know if im doing anything right.

What i do is basically follow people with the bot that follow major tech news outlets.I tried manualy favoriting and retweeting for some people with Tweepi, folks who have lots of followers.

Am i doint it wrong ?

File: HRGIGER22.jpg (77KB, 529x720px) Image search: [Google]

77KB, 529x720px

>>624518
i follow with the bot about 500 people daily, and the next day i unfollow people and add again.

Will i get banned ?

>>617374

Yes i did this for fun a while ago and it got me up to almost 10k before i got bored of it

>>624519
>>624518
Please report back. Love to hear if it works out.

>>624518
Did no one archive the other thread?

>>621149
how did you solve this? I'm stuck here...

>>624730
these threads come and go and tbh that thread did not add anything revolutionary.

>>624518
you are doing it wrong, that i can tell you. Now fuck off no one is going to spoonfeed you how to do it right because we don't want the market to be saturated with dingdong dildo heads like you who just started out and wish to get that golden ticket to success.

Just went over 1000 followers on one of my eight accounts set up about two weeks ago. I was gaining slow as fuck, then yesterday got 200 in one day. Seems going over 1000 is pretty key.

Where besides fiverr can I buy a thousand followers cheap?

>>620737
>>installed python 3.4.2
be careful with this, python 3 is different from python 2, and you may have issues with it.

>>621149
>>624914
try:
pip install git+https://github.com/rhiever/twitter-follow-bot.git

>>617839
no one buys twitter accounts

>>626108
>pip install git+https://github.com/rhiever/twitter-follow-bot.git
hmm, no, this won't work.
you need to download this file to some folder and execute python in the same folder: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rhiever/twitter-follow-bot/master/twitter_follow_bot.py
that, or copy the file to the folder where your python lobs are located, but I have no idea where this is in windows.

how much money do these accounts even make and how? i made one of those "tbh plz dont" stolen tumblr post accounts for shits and giggles and got up to 5k. so only way to make money is to direct your followers to a blog with ads?

KAPOW. attention man.

>>626137
amazon affiliate seemed to be working for the guy in the other thread

>>626128
>lobs
*libs
this is the path: C:\PythonXY\Lib\site-packages (info from https://docs.python.org/2/install/#alternate-installation-the-user-scheme). so, download that file (twitter_follow_bot.py), move it to that folder and run:
python -m twitter_follow_bot
to check that it works. if it doesn't, it should throw an error. otherwise, it shouldn't say anything.

>>626153
and finally, I left some more info in the old thread, for those who want to isntall python:
>>622733

>>622758
What's your theme/gimmick/wares?
Porn? Fashion? Heard those are the number 1's

Up to 2300 followers today across 8 accounts, 1100 of those in one account, with that account gaining 200 daily.

When should I start inserting affiliate links? 2000 followers on one account? More?

>>626761
2000 is what the guy in the last thread suggested. Even if people start unfollowing, it will be a drop in the bucket at that point. Also, can you update with your first clicks/conversions. This entire process is fascinating.

Fuck, google's keyword planner isn't free anymore. Or at least the good version of it isn't. I guess I could pay in like 5 cents and go from there.

Would make a twitter about good looking people I find on 4chan be a good idea? Will include board where found, thread, and a comment with each tweet. Immoral but whatever.

>>626843
Advertisers hate 4chan. I'd stay away from it.

>>617313
anyone with less than 450,000 followers on twitter is the plebbiest pleb

>>626840
For anyone still interested, log into your google account and go to adwords. Then, on the very first page, go to skip guided setup at the top. IMPORTANT *If you go any farther than this on adwords without selecting skip guided setup, you will never be able to go back with your current google account you are using, meaning you will have to pay for it.*

If you still want to use keyword planner without paying but you didn't use the skip option, you have to use a different google account.

>>626836

I'll keep updating in these threads. Really this is the only outlet I have for this thing. I'm not on any other forums and it's too insignificant to bring up with my friends

>>626871
how long did it take you? I started around a week ago and am at around 600 followers right now, making around 50-60 naturally/day.

>>626849

That makes sense. Thanks for the advice.

>>626874

About two weeks. Initially I was following 300 daily, switched to 500 daily a few days ago. Started using Tweetdeck to schedule my posts, have all eight accounts set up with three weeks of 5x daily posts. The plan is to go back every week and add two weeks of content until I'm several months ahead, while using my spare time to set up more accounts. I think a good first goal would be to have 20 accounts up and running with a month minimum of content behind them. Should take me a week or two to reach that goal

>>626880
how do you gather your content? And how long does it take to schedule that many posts? I was thinking of just letting an autohotkey script that automatically posts picture+text 5-6 times per day run.

>>626880
300 daily? I kept hearing rumors that the limit for newer accounts was 200 a day. Have you run into any problems with twitter yet?

>>626883

I was using ahk for posting, but it was unreliable and messy, plus it was just pictures without text. It takes me about two hours to gather content from image sites, and schedule them in tweetdeck with captions, for about a month of posts. Maybe less now that I've worked out a few scripts to speed the process up a bit.

>>626884

I have not been blocked by twitter once in the past two weeks. I was getting locked out a bit when I tried this a few months ago. Not sure what I'm doing differently though. Probably the fact that I'm pushing content while mass following.

>>626887
I think I understand. The algorithm reviews your account and sees human activity factors and decides you just love twitter. I've been scared to follow more than 150 a day but now I'm more confident to try it out, thanks.

>>626894

Just set up a ton of accounts. If you lose one, bfd. Learn not to fuck it up for the rest of them.

>>626887
>but it was unreliable and messy
what exactly? I thought I'd just write random lines like "amazing" or "wow" with hashtags in a txt file and have it pull those when posting with AHK.

>Maybe less now that I've worked out a few scripts to speed the process up a bit.

are we talking about AHK scripts for tweetdeck here?

>>626899

That could work, but I feel like image-specific text is more engaging. I'm just copying text from the image source.

Yes, I use short scripts that reduce my workload. It's not fully automated, just little macros that replace repetitive keystrokes. I do the same thing when entering big piles of inventory on Amazon. Just little things to help retain my sanity

For people using the bot and complaining about the mobile number, go on your phone or tablet. Go download "TextNow," and you'll have a new number.

Interest in starting this. How many of you post aboiut stuff that actually interest you? Is a bot necessary early on? How many accounts for starters. How many blogs to make. Are those timer link deals as shit and annoying as they seem. I run into them all the time and I can imagine people would avoid that shit unless it's content they really really want like videos.

OP Here.

I'm also using this for my actual two businesses.

>>627752
Have you ever thought about using your already existing network to generate staffing for a series of online call centers, very low operating costs relative to a real life call center and employees would be easily able to work from home, think of it all the 16 year old living in their parents basements could be working 2-4 hours a night. Keeping it online offers potential for expansion like no other business. Let me know what you think.

>>627771
Why would I offer call center service in the US when I could do it overseas and not worry about labor laws, minimum age, etc?

>>627775
Because the US gives you access to the networking potential of the massive group of followers that you just made this thread about, assuming they arent all indian followers on twitter, I admit I did assume they were mostly white people.

Got around 3000 followers in almost 3 weeks.
Big thanks to the guy posting about the Python stuff, not sure if it was in this thread or the other one.
Using python you have to spend way less time on doing the daily process of following/unfollowing (takes me not even five minutes to unfollow all those that didn't follow back and follow 500 more users).
Currently only have one account, but now that everything is set up I'll go on and make a few more, only 2-3 though. The most work is scheduling tweets with tweetdeck.
Isn't there anything out there that makes that last process go faster?

Currently pushing 6 tweets a day. Also I use a script that grabs pictures from any reddit boards and stores them in a folder, this also saves a lot of time, given that there's a board on reddit that matches your twitter account.

>>619774
I don't use Twitter but youtube has that too. If you have a 'significant' number of subscribers you are allowed to subscribe to more.

>>627970
Python guy was in another thread. Was going to start the process of learning the basics today.
The theme for my first twitter has a big female following who enjoy spending their parents money. So won't be too hard to get them to click. I know most of the people here making a good amount won't share too much of their secrets so I'm sitting here making a game plan and researching different things. Wish me luck anon.

>>627970

Using the Python script does it follow people with a specific interest? Can you use it to target Twitter fans that like baseball for example?

>>627993
I can't even think of a good niche and it's been days for me. Don't think I'm cut out for this.

>>628004
Hollywood?
Gaming?

Would those work? I am just thinking of something that has a big following...

>>628010
I think I'm over thinking it. Like one idea I had was to sell feminist shit to girls in all girls liberal arts schools like Smith college. The only problem is I can't even find anything remotely feminist or even something that would be appealing to them.

>>628019
I think the point was to get these people to simply click on ads. I don't believe anyone here is actually selling shit, just hosting a space that can have affiliate ads or adsense or whatever.

>>628004
I'm going to start with subjects I like, know a lot about, and have tons of content. When I really get some footing then I might consider doing a blog so I can get some type of sponsor banners and Amazon shit in. Right now i know what I want to do but I need to learn how to execute it.

>>628000
Yea you can use a script that follows everyone that used a specific word in their last tweet.
Let's say you use "baseball" as the keyword, then you'll follow everyone that used "baseball" in their last tweet.
You don't want to overdo it though, so it's better to set a counter so that it stops after you've followed 100 people, then you use an other keyword to follow 100 more. If the users are online they're more likely to follow back.

>>628019

You're over thinking it. I like shoes, vaping, Japanese cars, and so on. I have two accounts for each of those interests. And I'm just mass-gathering pictures to post. Eventually I'll either pump affiliate links or just set up a few simple web stores, which are themselves just affiliate links, and pump those.

K.I.S.S.

Do you think it's wise to use my real name with paypal when doing this?
Will I even need a paypal?

>>629312

Here's someone who's never going to bother with this

>>629359
What's that suppose to mean?

Tweetdeck has inexplicably stopped working on one of my computers. Works fucking fine on every other one. What do I do here? How do I fix this?

>>617370
I wonder. Does twitter even check IPs?
I mean tweetdeck should help avoid you from getting IP banned i would think. On that off chance you goof and get in that situation.
Or Anontwi

Im back with a huge fucking problem, after practicing on my main twitter account i found some niches , but now im stuck at creating new accounts, i can't get over the mobile phone verification part to get my phython bot running.

Anyone have any solutions ? I tried a Hushed free number with a VPN for US, but it couldn't send a text message to the number.

>>630556

Don't virtual SIMs exist? Maybe $1 a pop or something like that. Also doesn't googlevoice give you a free number? Others are doing it somehow.

>>629534
Yes, it does. Tweetdecks is owned by twitter, doens't look like a good way to hide your ip.

>>630556

Buy Private Proxies and stop wasting your time

I am really thinking about giving this a shot since I have access to the tool to actually properly analyze shit on social media (work in social media analytics, mostly working with gigantic excel spreasheets). Not really sure what network to go for though.

Anybody have experience with the 2000 followers limit? I can't seem to follow more people than that right now. Does this reset at some point or something?

>>630755
Twitter is pretty good, they don't really care about bots, they just pretend to.

>>630859
Unfollow everyone and follow again.

You can only follow 2.000 until you have 2k followers. After that is 2k +10% of the followers

Awfully tempted by this thought.
Anyone running all of this on a Mac? Any specific programming differences?
I take it the python scripts have to be run for each separate account?

Is there a script that targets all the followers of a particular user? I'd like to do that,
I don't know python.

>>630996
you can use tweepi + the chrome extension to follow 40 followers of a particular user at once and you could write an AHK script to do that too I guess

>>630967

Half of silicon valley geeks runs on Macs, son. You're one step ahead already.

guys, if i wanted to promote like a music project or what have you and make the add sales, could i do it

do you guys just target randoms or hit up a specific niche?

what the fuck does this have to do with business

Find a big twitter in your niche and interact with everyone who interacts with him.

>>631003
Half of Silivon Valley ain't in this thread bruh. The Windows install info isn't useful.
I know everyone's trying to guard their golden goose, but a named example of one of these accounts would be of great use (hell, it ain't gotta be your own, just one you recognize...)

>>631367
why do you need a named example?

This is related to the previous twitter thread but I thought I might ask here.

The OP said he retweeted amazon affiliate ads but wouldn't that just mean the commission goes to whoever posted the ad and not him.

A small id tag is added to the link of the person who shares it from the source, which is amazon. If you just retweet someone else's affiliate link, they will see the more clicks, not you.

I'm guessing if what you said was true, OP found popular affiliate links, went to the source, got the link, and then tweeted about them. Or he could have been looking for more content on his account so he just retweeted whatever.

How do I make it so that my python commands run for a different twitter account?

So after you got around 2000 followers, how do you start making profit out of them? I just started a DIY account and I'm not sure people that follow me would buy something. Can I just search for someone who pays me to post a link to their website? if so, what website can I use to easily obtain a bunch of links that are going to pay advertisement to me? Should I just change my niche?

>>631951
change the information from the Twitter dev app
>>632148
the other guy was using amazon affiliate program, which aparently gives you a 4-10% cut off anything a person buys within 48 hours of clicking on your link.

To those who post Amazon affiliate links, how do you post them? The html codes that they provide are to long for twitter limits.

>>632465

They offer an abbreviated link as well.

>>632467
Thanks, found it!

Well, I am stuck at creating a new python app for the new account because I don't have a second number. Is there any way to work around that, without having to buy a new sim card? (From Austria here so can't use Google voice)

>>617313
Are you bardock obama

>>631791
I think the OP of that thread made several Twitter accounts, one Amazon affiliate account, posted the affiliate links on one Twitter account and retweeted it from his other accounts.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Need help with that bot, because I don't know shit about python.

I have problems with those fucking oauth_tokens. Are those the same as the access_token from my Twitter Application Site? Can I just put those tokens/keys into the setup.py from the bot and start it? What else must I edit except the follow/tweet properties?

i just followed 500 japanese people in 15 minutes, retweeted like 50 random tweets, and got 2 of them to follow back

my niche is japanese transexuals/crossdressers/shemales/porn users

i post random japanese trends/engrish coupled with anime pictures every day

i plan on becoming an affiliate and linking onaholes and dolls and lube and shit like that once i get 50,000 followers

i'm only at 4 followers though, so wish me luck

>>635666
Good luck, I started about two weeks ago with a twitter posting JAV but decided to start safe with more normalfag niches

>>635672
thanks. i decided to follow until i reached the max, so i'm now following 1015, and i have 9 followers

i predict i will get at least 30 more by tomorrow and then it will just build from there

>>635677
it's slow to start off but i have about 1,500 and average about 200 new followers daily

Guys, I have 5k on Instagram. What can I do with them?
My niche is architecture btw.

>>627970
Sup, I trying to get all this started. Can you tell me how you got the bot started?

I have so far
>installed python 2.7.9
>installed twitter libary
>created an app.account + app
>edited the oauth tokens into the "twitter_follow_bot" script.
>edited the follow parameters
>when I start the "twitter_follow_bot.py" via python I get a "invalid syntax error" or just nothing happens

Did I forget something or did I edited something wrong in the script?

Fuck that script, you're going to need a million phone numbers if you start to do this seriously. Just get a spare computer and script up tweepi in ahk. My follow/unfollow scripts take about 20 minutes each, so a single computer running fulltime can handle 36 accounts.

My follow/unfollow laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad netbook. It was $20. I may invest another $50 or so in it buying a solid state hard drive.

Here's a bit of ahk script to take your follow by followers scripting next level.

;
; MODIFY FOLLOWING LINE: text file location
;
Run, C:\(FILE LOCATION).txt
Sleep, 5000
Send, {CTRLDOWN}g{CTRLUP} ; "go to line" in notepad
Sleep, 1000
Send, 1{ENTER}
Sleep, 1000
Send, {shiftdown}{end}{shiftup} ; highlights line
Sleep, 500
send, {ctrldown}c{ctrlup}{del 2} ; copies and deletes line
Sleep, 500
Send, {ctrldown}{end}{ctrlup}{enter} ; goes to end of doc and inserts line
Sleep, 500
Send, {ctrldown}v{ctrlup} ; pastes to end of doc
Sleep, 500
Send, {ctrldown}s{ctrlup} ; saves
Sleep, 500
Send, {altdown}{f4}{altup} ; exits document
;
; this is a simple cycling script.
; EG, one could follow users from a different twitter
; handle every time a script was run, by inserting
; this script into a "follow followers" script.
; it copies the first line of a txt file,
; moves that line to the end of the list, saves, and
; closes. the copied line can then be pasted elsewhere,
; and the next time the text doc is opened, the next line
; will be the first line. the list can be any length.
;
; have questions? use google. you're lucky i'm sharing
; anything at all.

>>635999
everyone figured everything out by themselves, don't expect to be spoon fed. spend some time fixing the problem, that way you'll also learn a lot more
>>636049
you don't need a million phone numbers, simply log in to the account on your phone and you're good.
also with the python script you can follow users based on their latest tweet, that way you'll only follow active users. i compared the backfollow rate, using tweepi I only got around 5% or less, while using the script i got around 10%.

>>636092

You don't want all of your accounts tied to a single phone number. I work with dozens of accounts: tying them all together would be catastrophic if twitter decided to ban me.

>>636096
I want more than one Twitter account. Is that possible?
Yes! You can have more than one account on Twitter. You can sign up for an additional account here.
Please note, each account must have a unique email address associated with it. An email address can only be associated with one Twitter account at a time.
If you're using one of our mobile apps, you can add additional accounts to the app (on iPhone & Android).

https://support.twitter.com/articles/20169956-managing-multiple-twitter-accounts

they wont ban you

>>636100

They absolutely have the ability to do so, and a few months ago banned MILLIONS of bot accounts.

Use the python script if you want but I'm going to protect my assets as best I can

Are there any other botting programs or is the python script the only one?

>>636111
So you're saying its smarter to use autohotkey to unfollow? The script for following and faving in Python is pretty handy though, but you're saying it's a risk using that?

>>636118
literally any programming language or scripting language can do it.

>>636135
Well I know that, but is there anything prepackaged because I don't feel like learning to script.

>>636134

To use the python script you have to provide a phone number to twitter. The lazy will just use the same number across multiple accounts. If one account gets popped, they're likely to shut them all down.

It's all dependent on how you run things. But using an ahk script to automate tweepi works for me and avoids that risk.

>>636143
Ah, like that. So far I only got one account up and running, so I presume if you want to use 2+ accounts will need a phone number?

>>620602
>>tfw my sudes turns inside out

>>636049
where the hell did you get that for 20$?

>>636165
A garage sale. Its a 1.6ghz atom single core and an ten inch screen. The only thing it has going for it is about 7 hour screen on battery life

But there are tons of computers out there for well under a hundred, even $50

Is there a free alternative for Tweepi? I used Tweetdeck so far, but it's lacks the auto-follow/unfollow and bulk follow option.

>>636092
>everyone figured everything out by themselves, don't expect to be spoon fed.
fair enough.

>>636203

Tweepi has a free version

for the amazon affiliation part, am i linking up multiple twitter accounts to one amazon account? im getting paid through paypayl, right?

>>636212

I get direct deposit. They can send you a check also, not sure about PayPal.

Amazon doesn't really care where you post your links. You only need one amazon account.

>>636206
yeah, but isn't the number of user accounts you can use limited in the free version?

>>636212
If you are outside from the us you should use http://www.payoneer.com/

I just use a separate tweepi account for every twitter account. I automate by opening an incognito window in chrome and logging in.

>>636229
thanks, that is a good idea, even when it means to have a shitload of work to organise all those accounts. Well better than paying for that crap, AHK here I come.

So let me get this straight
i can make a twitter account and post some dank memes, get followers after a while and post with the dank memes some affiliate links? and people buy shit from there?

>>636257

Basically yes.

>>636257
No commissions yet. Of course, I'm not automating and not niche targeting. Using only one account where I'll add maybe 80 people a day.

that's a lot of tweets. how long have you been doing this so far?

Here's my stats on my primary account after two weeks. Grew really fast and is growing rather nicely organically, since I hit a nice niche I think. The other one is only at around 50 followers after three days unfortunately.

>>636384
good luck with that kid. You will need tens of thousand of followers for some to actually buy something. What you are doing is just ridick.

update here, i woke up this morning and i have this.

(i went from 2 followers, to 9 after giving it 30 minutes of effort, to 83 overnight doing nothing)

fucking sweet!

i'm going to add another 1000 and then retweet/favorite all kinds of shit for like 30 minutes today.

can't wait to start posting dank mames and onaholes for affiliate neetbucks.

>>636939
Good luck anon, do you use the Python script or did you follow everyone manually? I find the Python script very easy for following, and since it's all a numbers game it might be better to keep using the script for now.

Allright, gonna set me up some twitter accounts.

Once you get a decent amont of followers, how do you make money, apart from amazon commissions?

File: tfw.jpg (164KB, 895x824px) Image search: [Google]

164KB, 895x824px

>>636972
i followed everyone manually, because i wanted to make sure they were japanese and relatively in my niche. some i searched various things for and found accounts associated with my niche and added those, but i just used twitters recommendations for 80% of it all.

>>636989
So I just installed the script and followed 100 random guys.

Now what? Should I retweet random tweets? Should I favorite random tweets? Should I just wait? I've never used twitter before help plox

>>637005
i suggest you start posting dank memes/trends and favoriting/retweeting the stuff of people you are following, but stick to tweets that already have retweets/favorites, so it doesn't stand out.

i've never used twitter before this, either

>>637008
I think I fucked up, looks like a lot of the people I'm following aren't english speakers.

I created a "tech oriented" account, I guess I'll just retweet a bunch of random tweets lel.

>>637010
Got a tech related account as well, just make a list of all the Twitter accounts that tweet about tech. Sometimes just make a tweet like 'so hyped for hololens looks amazing #microsoft' and that's it.

For the rest of it: follow random people and favourite their tweets.

>>637028
Does twitter allow for multiple accounts? Or do you use a vpn for each accoutn?

>>637030
twitter allows and actively supports multiple accounts

>>637055
Cool. However, is there any way to "fake" the mobile verification code? I don't live in the USA so I can't use google voice.

>>637059
i don't know what you mean, i have about 8 twitter accounts and have never once needed mobile verification

>>637080
you need mobile verification for the app and then for the python script. As far as I know there's no way around that if you're from Europe. Just get some throwaway sims

Greetlings, dude with the giger pics, so i have 2 accounts, one 2 weeks old and one 1 week old :

Nr1 : 531 followers
Nr2: 330 followers

Seems to work fine, i follow and flush about 1000 daily on both.

>>637080
>>637082
I deleted the mobile on the account I "activated" and use the same number to activate a new account. I hope it means that the old accounts can still be used for the script.

>>637144
report back if this works, if yes I'll do this too

>>637291
It worked for 3 accounts and then told me "you have exceeded the number of times, try again later".

Got almost a hundred followers on the first day, not bad

Thanks OP.

Should I unfollow people randomly, or should I only unfollow those who don't follow me back? If its the latter whats a good free way of doing that?

I'm nearly at the 2000 limit and have less than 100 followers so I need to do something.

>all these people that have never used Twitter thinking they can just hop in and take in the dough

you guys seriously think you can just get followers, then push ads to them and expect them to click? you need followers that give a shit enough to check out what you have to say, not just scroll past. post some decent OC with the occasional ad and you'll do a hell of a lot better

>>637682

ROFL, this fool thinks you need OC

you just need something they haven't seen yet, and that's sure as fuck not hard to find. 5000 followers 120 clicks one ad yesterday chump

>>637654
use the script to automatically unfollow people who don't follow you

Which Amazon version you use? The American or the UK ?
I personaly use the UK version because I'm from Europe and the USA Amazon does not do international deposits.

So I have a problem with the python script:

I created one on my first account and then I deleted the phone number on my first account and tied it to a second one as >>637144
this anon suggested. I created a new app with all the tokens etc. but when I run the script, it still applies to the old script, even though I don't even have the app settings of the old one saved anymore

Anyone knows a solution?

>>638479
You changed the consumer id and auth id in the script right?

OAUTH_TOKEN =
OAUTH_SECRET =
CONSUMER_KEY =
CONSUMER_SECRET =
TWITTER_HANDLE =

these are the things I changed but it still refers to the old account for some reason

>>638496
then you must have fucked up something along the way. When you say "it still applies to the old script", you mean that it's still your old account that's getting updated?

>>638506
yeah, for example if I do the unfollow script with the new settings, it still unfollows people on my account etc., even if I delete all old scripts associated with it

>>638509
That's weird. This didn't happen to me. I guess you messed up somewhere down the line.

>>638515
yeah I figured, though it's weird since I did nothing more than adding the different tokens and keys

new guy here.

what if i found a niche that has some popular attention to and just did it all manually right from my phone without ever touching a computer. could be a lot of work but i have plenty of free time in college.

could i build a follower base in the 5 -6 digits in some type of time frame and then somehow make money form it?

i see the process of getting followers but how can this net money in my pocket?

thanks

>>638879
Yes, it is possible. That doesn't mean that it is a good idea. You could search a certain phrase on Twitter, and then manually follow 400/500 people a day. You would also have to unfollow the people that don't follow you back manually. All of this takes a lot of time and even though you mention you have a lot of free time, it will get boring as shit.

You would also have to post the affiliate links through your phone, that could be quite a hassle. If you have acces to a computer, I advice you to use it as well. It will make everything a lot more pleasant and more clear.

>>638879
If you have any intention of doing this seriously and making money, get a computer. A Raspberry Pi costs $35 and is absolutely perfect for running twitter scripts.

>>637773
great man congrats on the pennies. you'll be rich in no time. I bet your niche has the capability to grow to millions of followers.

>>637773
>you don't need OC
>just something they haven't seen yet

what the fuck do you think OC is?

retweet my soundcloud please, I'm trying to eat

So I have now 3 Accounts and wrote some scripts with AHK. Those scripts send every 4h a short text + #tag + pic via Tweetdeck. Since I'm a Eurofag, I'm using a proxy via chrome extensions. I just wonder if Tweetdeck is sending the tweets via proxy too? If yes, does this only count for the browser app version or for the desktop version and windows (.exe) version too?

>>639501
Why don't you just schedule your tweets via tweetdeck?

def auto_follow_followers_for_user(user_screen_name, count=100)

Doesnt work. help?

>>639548
I do, but only with special tweets. Random tweets are tweeted with the script. I don't want to to schedule two dozen random tweets every second day and with the script it's no problem.

>>617370
Serpico.ch has an anonymous VPN service in neutral Switzerland...

>>638961
>>638966

I have a computer, and know it would be easier if I used it form time to time but i was just curious if it can be done while mobile

>>639501
why do you tweet via tweetdeck if you don't schedule the tweets?

>>639640
see here >>639610

Now imagine that with 3 or more accounts, so much work. Also I enjoy writing the scripts and so I can get some exp. at this.

>>639655
yeah but I mean why through tweetdeck? you could just open a browser and tweet there couldn't you? I am not saying your method is wrong or something, I just want to know why going through tweetdeck if you can just the twitter website

Because if I would do that, I would probably create a link to twitter.com on my desktop. But since firefox is my standard browser (and I don't want to change that), the link would open via firefox. But I want to use a proxy with chrome. Sure I could open chrome and go to twitter.com by typing it into the browser or someing else. And by overthinking all that I just decided to use tweetdeck because I suffer from insomnia and slight autism.

w-what

I'm just telling you that if you want your accounts to survive long enough to become something you could monetize, you have to do it the old-fashioned way -- adding content and following, for months, for free.

Bots will just get your account smothered in the crib before you can get a single ad on them.

Source: Do this for a living

>>639986
I'm adding content, but it is mainly retweeting the biggest tech blogs out there and some tweets of my own, and interacting with followers whenever they interact with me.

How do I make sure bots don't follow me, or atleast make sure I don't get fucked over by Twitter. The only thing they are good for is that they raise my following/follower ratio. But in the end I need real people to follow me because they are the ones that click on my links.

Also, do you advice to have multiple accounts? If yes, do you link them together in Twitter or does every account have a seperate e-mail adress? Thanks.

>>639986
Honestly I prefer doing it myself, feels more in control and hands-on idk, also I suck at scripting

>>640246
>I'm adding content, but it is mainly retweeting the biggest tech blogs out there

This is not adding content, this is retweeting other peoples' stuff

Interacting isn't really necessary. I don't do it unless it's fun, and be sure to delete your @s after a day or two, otherwise your TL will look like shit to new followers. When you reach 5k followers or so you can ask other accounts in your niche (that are a little bigger than you) to trade retweets, which you of course should only do via DM.

Bot accounts following you are fine, they will eventually get deleted and it's no black mark on your account.

Separate Gmails for every account. It takes 2 minutes to make one. Running multiple accounts increases the difficulty and time required exponentially but will have a better payoff later.

>>640264

It's literally the only way to do this. The chances of bot accounts surviving the months and months it takes to build and audience are basically nil, especially with an uncomplicated script that just batch-follows people. Twitter's algorithms notice that sort of automated following.

>>640547
I still don't understand how you are getting money out of Twitter. Do you have a site that you tweet about or what?

>>640547
will i be fine using tweepi? i usually follow and unfollow 200 people at a time, 4-5 times a day

>>640560

There's a billion ways to monetize Twitter. Driving traffic to a monetized site can be a huge moneymaker once you've got a big enough following, but that's probably best for huge accounts (100k+)

Myself, I don't monetize anything that has fewer than 20k followers, there's not much point.

>>640563

Sure, but that sort of follower churn will probably get your account suspended eventually. Check out Twitter's guidelines on following and then you can figure out what you can safely do with your current follower count.

https://support.twitter.com/articles/68916-following-rules-and-best-practices

A suspended account isn't a big deal, you usually just have to email them and ask what's going on, they tell you why, you say "oh ok won't do it again" and they'll reactivate your account. Then follow fewer people per day. Repeated suspensions for follow churn will get your account and IP banned.

Are there any programs/scripts that will get all the followers of similar accounts and rank them in the order you should follow them?

Like I'd rather follow an active person who is likely to follow back (followers to following ratio) who retweets a lot.

>>640574
You said you make a living off this so I have a few questions since I'm aspiring to do the same.
How many accounts do you operate and in what niches? What has been the best way to monetize your accounts for you? You mentioned driving traffic to a website but what do you post there, adsense, affiliate links, content locker?

>>640574
and also what do you think is the best way to monetize when you have 20 - 100k followers?

>>641484

This. I already gave advice above.

>>641672

Any idiot can build a good-sized Twitter network, if they're willing to work for free for months, staying disciplined and grinding away at it. There's no real shortcuts unless you strike viral gold somehow, it just takes an immense amount of time, for a payout of nothing. But it's easy.

The hard part is figuring out which way you want to turn that network into money, and that's for everyone to figure out on their own. There are dozens of ways to do it, and if you sit down and think about it you might come up with one that nobody else has thought of, and start repaying yourself for the hundreds of hours you worked for free.

Or you might fail and all the effort will have been for nothing -- welcome to working for yourself.

I've got a strategy that's working. It took me a long time to figure it out, by myself. You too need to figure it out for yourself. Your idea may be better than mine but I'm not going to just give a potential competitor the end result of thousands of hours of work for nothing.

There are many ways to monetize internet traffic, don't think about monetizing twitter, think of it as traffic.

Affiliate Networks
You can lead them to a landing page with all sorts of offers or simply adsense.
Amazon Associate links

Dude with his super complex monetizing scheme is probably fishing for suckers to sell them some course or is a victim of IM "gurus" himself.

These dudes usually take you for a merry-go-round for something that is pretty straightforward and simple, the simpler the better.

Keep shit simple, you have a bunch of people who follow you on tweeter, point them to your offer and make money from them.

Everything else is just wank devised by IM artists who make money from you not from their "super complex" "networks"

Anyone else disclosing their affiliate links? Is this a big deal for twitter or Amazon or can I just post an affiliate link and say "omg I want to buy this" without disclosing it?

Just did a count, I'm up to 5500 followers across 9 accounts. Three accounts are rocket ships to the moon and the rest aren't, so I'm going to triple down on the successful ones and make six new accounts with similar content. I've also stumbled across a content goldmine that I believe has potential to pull more followers than all my current accounts combined, so I'm setting up three accounts for that niche as well.
I fully believe I can triple my followers by the end of the month. 15K+ by the beginning of March, at which point I'll begin seriously monetizing (and pushing my website, which itself is monetized with google AdSense).
Combined with the fact that followers grow at an exponential rate as I get more retweet and favorites, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to hit 100K within the next quarter. Especially now that I'm dialing it in.
This could legitimately become a very real revenue stream by summer. Maybe I'm getting too far ahead of myself, but I'm seeing real possibility here.

what kind of niches are you working in? I have two accounts so far and one of them is really nice, while the the other one is kind of not taking off. Are you tailoring towards men/women, older/younger people?

Kind of all over the board, but the ones that are taking off are self-help, fashion, and (fantasy) lifestyle oriented.

This.

You have an audience. Tell them where to go and make the place they go to is somewhere or something that makes you money.

That is it.

Anyone who tries to make it more advanced that that is making thier money selling you a how to, 30 part email course, delivered in bi-weekly segments, rather than the ridiculously convoluted scheme their own course is telling you totally works.

I'm currently building a program to help me build accounts faster. It'll do the usual things like follow/unfollow, schedule tweets and that kind of thing. Ontop of that it'll build a database of potential followers based on whos following similar accounts that I designate.

It'll then take that database and rank users by a number of factors to more efficiently choose who to follow, things like how many similar accounts are they following, how many tweets/followers/following they have.

Who knows, it could be futile, but for me its an exercise in programming more than anything.

oh yeah Fashion was actually the one I wanted to start next. Do you just post pictures of outfits/shoes etc.? I am not a very /fa/ guy, so I know jack shit about what would work with a fashion account

What people consider popular "fashion" is just good photography and good looking models.

I doubt you could make real money from advertising nxt lvl shit anyway, even with acceptable knowledge.
