Using A Grease Monkey To Help You Clean Up Your Twitter Account

This post will show you how to swiftly & effectively find quality followers and easily unfollow anyone who doesn’t follow you back.
Don’t waste your time joining those websites that gain access to your account and follow thousands of spammers. In the Twitter world, you are who you follow.
I’m going to show you how it’s done:
1) Download Firefox:
If you aren’t already using Firefox now is the time to get it. Don’t worry, you will still be able to use Internet Explorer as often as you’d like. The tools I use are Firefox addons, and they are all free. This will not cost you one dime. Download Firefox here.
2) Download Grease Monkey:
Go to the Grease Monkey add-on for Firefox. This will be your best friend forever, and will open your eyes to a vast amount of opportunities.

- After Successful Install, this is where your Grease Monkey Will Be
When your Grease Monkey is installed, it will show up on the bottom right of your browser. The little Monkey should be bright. If it’s not, just click him to wake him up.
3) Find The Right Grease Monkey Scripts:
This website has thousands of Grease Monkey Scripts that can help you do just about anything possible. You can find scripts to help you on Facebook, you can even find bots to play your online games for you automatically (I used to do that with Mafia Wars – Who wants to sit there and attack people all day. Just have a bot do it).
I use 2 different scripts for Twitter:
- Identify anyone who you follow, but doesn’t follow you back. I will assume that you’re already using Twitter and you are following a bunch of people. Before you even try to get more followers you want to weed out the unfollowers. Download this script.
After you successfully install it, you can now start using it. Go to your Twitter account. Now click “following” (the people you are following).

- This Tool Makes It Easier To Identify & Unfollow People
Twitter will show you pages of 20, so you have to keep going to the next page and repeating.
2) Find More Followers Quicker: If you were to sit there and click “follow” to a big list of people it tends to get a bit boring. This tool takes the cake. Go ahead and download that. Now find some quality Twitter accounts. If you’re looking for a good local following see who follows your local newspaper. Go to the newspaper Twitter page that shows there followers. This is what you will see:

- One Click & This Tool Will Follow Everyone On That List
That’s it! You now have the tools needed to excel at Twitter. The best way to do it is simple. Tonight, follow about 300 people. Wait a few days, then clean you your list (whoever didn’t follow you in the 3 days gets’ the boot). Now go back and follow more. Do this twice a week and you will eventually have a great Twitter following.
If your scripts aren’t working, right click over your monkey and be sure they are enabled. If you need help, please leave a comment below.
