What would happen if you unfollowed every twitter account following you?
We are going to complete this experiment with the following account:
@mytowntutorsMA We help #Massachusetts #parents connect with local #teachers who #tutor.Teachers are great tutors! Founded by a teacher for teachers! Massachusetts mytowntutors.com
Monday June 15
5.1K following / 5,045 followers
Why are we doing this?
- We are curious. @mytowntutors and @mytowntutorsMA are our extremely active & experienced twitter accounts, we wanted to try this experiment to see what would happen
- We want to KISS “Keep it Simple Stupid.” This accounts have clear goals. Our goal is to keep it simple and get back to basics. (We are going to try to follow our own advice too!) We have been using twitter for the last 2 years and want to use our knowledge to be the #1 tutoring resource in Massachusetts & America!
- We want to reflect and create our #1st50. We want to spend the next few weeks reflecting on who would be the 1st 50 accounts we would follow. We will come up with list over the next several weeks.
- We do not want to spend much time on twitter. Yes, there is life outside of twitter and we would like to try it.
What is your hypothesis?
- An account will find out who the true friends and followers are. A minority of twitter followers will unfollow an account because it stops following, but people who understand our mission to help parents and teachers connect will still see value in our account and remain loyal followers. Some accounts are extremely successful that follow no other twitter accounts.
- Weeding out is good. There are many followers who are following because we follow them, they have no interest in education, parenting, and some great jokes for math, kids, teachers, and families!
- Attract true followers. If someone follows an account, seeing that it is notfollowing anyone, they should have a good idea that we probably will not be following back. So they will be following us for who we are.
- We will survive. If an account is left with no followers, it will survive. It is not the end of the world. Keep learning about twitter and start over better than before! We have some ideas about how twitter works and will follow them closely.
