If you manage a social media account for a bigger brand or your business, chances are you don't have the time or energy to sift through pages and pages of Twitter accounts, to chart your following.
This use case will help you to get a clear view of all your Twitter followers and will allow you to clean up your account, as shown in section 2 of this blog.
Ready?
Let's start automating your social strategy!
List all of your Twitter followers
1: If you haven't already signed up to PhantomBuster, this is the moment to create a free account!
2: Next, sign in to your Twitter account on your desktop. This is really important as our Phantoms will need to connect to your account via your session cookie.
3: Head over to the Phantom store and pop open the Twitter Following Collector Phantom.
4: Next, after connecting your Twitter account you will want to input the URL of your Twitter profile into the "Profiles to scrape" section. If you want to analyze more than one Twitter account, you can scrape a public Google Sheets file or a CVS file.
5: Now, all that is left to do is set the "Behavior" of your Phantom. Leave it empty if you would like the Phantom to extract as many followers as possible.
If you prefer to repeatedly extract your brand's followers we recommend extracting 5k followers every 2 hours.
Finish this part of your Phantom's setup by naming your results file.
6: All that is left to do is set up your Phantom to run once, by selecting "manually" or "repeatedly." Then hit launch and wait for your Phantom to process your results.
It will take only a few seconds. Download your results as a .CVS file and then import it to a new Google Sheets file.
The result?
You now have a comprehensive and clear-cut list of all your brand's Twitter followers.
To mass unfollow people who do not follow your account back and remove ghost followers via this blog, stay tuned for this next part.

Good to know
You can use the Twitter Auto Follow Phantom to both follow and mass unfollow a list of Twitter accounts.
2: Next, you will use the list of profiles that you obtained in section 1 in Google Sheets format. Make sure to set your Google Sheets results file accessible to "Anyone with the link" so that the Phantom can access the data without a hitch.
3: Next in the "Behavior" section of this Phantom's setup you can nitpick what action you would like to take. You can easily mass unfollow Twitter followers in bulk or just those who don't follow you back, as shown in the screenshot below.
We recommend you process a maximum of 50-80 profiles per day, aiming for under 50 if your account is less active.
4: Lastly, all you need to do is setup this Phantom to run manually (once) or repeatedly as to your preferences.
5: Click launch and watch the Phantom get to work in seconds. You can walk away from your computer as this Phantom runs from the cloud and doesn't need your browser active to work.
