When you dive into the world of Twitter, it starts becoming abundantly obvious some of the shortcomings of the service once you start scaling up the amount of followers you have. How do people with thousands upon thousands of Twitter followers keep on top of their accounts? How do they keep growing their follower count while removing junk accounts or those who don't follow back?

Here are a few free tools we've used at Lone Wolf to help manage and grow our social media presence.

Social Media Management Tools For Real Estate Agents

ManageFlitter

This service is one of the best out there for giving you a great overview of who you follow. Their easy to use interface makes unfollowing accounts a snap. Identify who isn't following you back, or those accounts that are inactive helps clear space for you to follow new accounts.

You'll find that once you get above 2000 followers this becomes important as Twitter imposes caps on the ratio of accounts you can follow at one time. ManageFlitter also has a bunch of Pro level filters, allowing you to see all your followers, as well as identify a whitelist. This is quite handy, as in a lot of cases you'll have accounts you want to follow but they won't follow back--be they celebrity accounts or major brands that don't typically follow back.

Handy Tip: Use the Fast Select feature to quickly select a bunch of followers at one time. Just drag inside this area and you'll be able to bulk select users to unfollow.
