Multiple Accounts on Twitter

Most people using Twitter only have one account. They assume that further accounts are not allowed by the Twitter rules. To a certain degree they are right but it is possible to open multiple twitter accounts without having them banned or taken down.

So why would anyone require more than one Twitter account? Firstly because Twitter limits the speed at which you can actively grow your Followers, you may have a desire to increase the number of Followers by opening second and third accounts. In fact if you study twitter carefully you will see that a number of internet marketers have many more accounts than this, often, I've heard into the tens or even hundreds!

If you try this it is likely you'll get banned or eventually lose the accounts. A great deal of care is taken by these people in initially establishing different names, aliases, different bios and often different websites so there is apparently no link to the accounts at all even though they are operating in the same niche. 

Under these circumstances Twitter will still eventually catch them because in order to service a large number of accounts it is likely that these marketers are using automatic programs for adding followers or flushing unresponsive followers. It is also likely that these accounts have unrealistic numbers of tweets, indicating that even the tweeting is fully automated. These are all clues which the people at Twitter notice. 

One of the easiest links for them to make is through the internet marketers IP address. This can also be overcome by using VPNs or Identity Cloaking devices where different IP addresses are used by the software.

The second reason, not frowned upon by Twitter is that you need a second account as you wish to operate in an entirely unrelated niche, which would not be of interest to your current following who are following you because of things they have in common with you. Although in this circumstance you will need to create a new nickname and provide a separate email address, you need not alter your real name or you bio, you may be relieved to learn.
