How to track Twitter followers over time?

Learning your Twitter follower growth over time can be difficult. This is because there’s no provision on Twitter to gain such information on your Twitter account.

Twitter has reached 340 million active users so far making it a platform where Twitter users manage thousands of followers every day. Learning your Twitter follower growth over time can be difficult. This is because there’s no provision on Twitter to gain such information on your Twitter account.

Twitter analytics only provides you data on overall follower gain/loss on a monthly basis. But, you can’t learn how your followers are changing on an everyday basis. This is not helpful if you want to understand which of your tweets are bringing you more followers and which tweets are losing your followers.

Why should you Track your Twitter Follower Growth?

To learn how your followers are actually growing, you can use a complete Twitter management tool, Circleboom Twitter.

It gives detailed Twitter analytics that involves learning about your tweet performance, audience demographic, follower growth, and follower characteristics.

Here’s a step-by-step process to learn Circleboom and track Twitter followers over time:

  • Authenticate your Twitter account with Circleboom to log in.
  • On the Circleboom dashboard, click on the menu on the left and select “User Analytics.”
  • From the drop-down, select “Follower Growth” and you can see two charts depicting your Twitter followers over time change on an everyday basis.
  • If you only want to learn about your “Friends Growth”, then you can select an option from the User Analytics drop-down list. Learning your friends’ growth can be helpful if you want to know how accounts you follow, follow/unfollow you daily.
