Good point, Rebecca!

Yet another way to turn people off and compel them to unfollow, or not follow you in the first place.

How about if every tweet is a list of people to follow? If I UNfollow you, that may be why!

Thanks for commenting, Iva.

#4 is a major turnoff for me, too. A Twitter bio saying how great you are leads me to believe you may not be tweeting much of value, so you may not be worth paying much attention to.

Best,
Meg

Number four is my main turn-off. Sadly, in the region I’m from, one can’t even guess if someone’s writing that because they have a problem in their heads or just because everyone else’s writing it.

So, when you come to Balkans, you’ll encounter a lot of “humanitarians”, “hedonists” and “enterpreneurs”.

Thanks for commenting, Kimba.

Excellent point! I’m leery of these people too. Seems that some of the very popular people on Twitter, those with loads of followers, are even more selective than we are in following back!

Best,
Meg

If they are following zero people back. That shows me they are only interested in what they have to say and have no intention of engaging.

Thanks for commenting, Mary.

Since I wrote the post, I’ve softened a bit. I do follow people with politics opposed to mine, if they’re not pushing their views on everyone, as you note.

And I regret listing “If your niche and tweets are completely unrelated to mine.” Everyone has something of value to offer. I wouldn’t include this one in my criteria any more.

Happy tweeting!
