An alternative method of bulk following on Twitter: Twitter lists!
You can also utilize Twitter lists to help you follow many users at once with ease.
- Find or create a list: You can either find lists curated by other users in your niche or create one yourself with people you want to follow.
- Go through the list: Once the list is populated, go through the members one by one and follow them manually. You can also choose to leave it as it is since you'll already be able to track the activity of the accounts within that list.
Although this method isn't true "bulk following," it allows you to organize and easily track who you want to follow without randomly searching for accounts. It's also a good way of hiding who you follow.
And let me tell you this: Circleboom allows you to manage your Twitter lists also. So even if this is the method you'll choose, Circleboom is ready to help out.
