Unfollow inactive accounts
As a regular Twitter user, you probably have a list of account that you follow.

In this case, it will be better for you to unfollow such profiles, because they won`t give you any information. That other profiles could. You can start following other active accounts instead of these.

Unfollow irrelevant accounts

Organize your profile
When we are talking about cleaning up our Twitter profile, we can`t forget about the look of the profile. Make sure that you have:
- Profile photo
- Background photo
- Completed bio with all needed information about you or your brand
- Link to your website (if you have your site)
- Email for contact
When other users visit your profile, the first thing they see is your bio. If your bio is completed and all points are on the right places, it`s a very high possibility that people will follow you.
