Twitter is a great social media platform. It can make you a star, popular, boost your business and brand, trending and buzzing and, it can as well bring you down, it can kill your career if not carefully managed. Some irrelevant people on twitter become relevant because of just a single post.

What you post can make people follow or unfollow your account on twitter. So many people have wondered why people unfollow their accounts while they follow their peers. Here are some reasons I shortlisted why people are unfollowing you on Twitter

1—Boring Post – People can unfollow you because your posts bore them. Twitter is fun so as the people using it. People want to talk, they want to express themselves and speak what is on their mind but the way some do it may bore others. Don’t tweet boring posts, tweet lively post, post that are fun and spring up conversation, you will find out people will not unfollow you but rather more people will follow you.

2—Irrelevant Post— Tweeting Irrelevant stuffs, what does not make sense can cause people to unfollow you.

3—Inconsistency in Post—People can unfollow because you are not consistent in your post thereby making people bored with your account. For one to grow more twitter followers, one has to post regularly and relevant post in order for you not to bore your followers.

4—Lewd Post—In as much as human being love sex and intimacy, that does not mean all your posts should be lewd and inappropriate. When you keep feeding people consistently with the same thing, people will easily get tired of it. At first people will enjoy it but as it goes on, people get bored. So stop lewd, pornography post on twitter.

5—Propagating Violence—Tweeting stuffs that propagate and promotes violence. Do not promote violence on twitter, nobody loves violence unless you want the cops to come after you. If you don’t want people to unfollow you, you must promote peace and, respect other people’s opinion.

6—Bullying—We all know that there is a war against “online social bullying” presently. Learn to Respect other people’s opinion. Do not be aggressive towards other people’s post because if not, it brings about bullying them. Bullying doesn’t help your followers grow, it only makes friends to unfollow you.

7—Scam—For businesses, do not attempt to scam people online.



8—Not reading and retweeting friends Posts—Yes this is true, if you see or read any good post, try as much as possible to retweet it. It helps other people to see you and also retweets your posts too, thereby making more people to see and even follow you. If they have intentions of unfollowing you, seeing you mentioning them, will change their minds.
