If you’re looking to expand your Twitter following, the Twitter follower collector Phantom from Phantom Buster may be just what you need. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of using this tool to extract followers from a Twitter account.
To get started, head over to phantombuster.com and click on browse Phantoms. On the left-hand side, sort by Twitter Phantoms and select Twitter follower collector. This will take you to the Phantom overview page, which provides a step-by-step summary of how to use this Phantom for your lead generation strategy on Twitter.
Once you’re ready to use the Phantom, click on “Use this Phantom.” You should already have the Phantom Buster Chrome extension installed on your browser, so as long as you’re logged into Twitter, all you need to do is click on “Connect to Twitter” and then “Save.”
Next, you’ll need to tell the Phantom which profiles you want to scrape. You have a few options here. You can use the URL of a single Twitter profile, or you can use the URL of a Google sheet or CSV file containing a list of Twitter profile URLs. Just make sure the CSV or Google Sheets files are publicly available.
You can also choose the behavior of your Phantom. For example, you can choose the number of followers to extract per profile, the number of profiles to process per launch, and whether to split the results file when extracting a large amount of followers. You can even use Watcher mode to reprocess the same profile URL each launch to look for new followers.
Once you’ve set your launch settings, you’re ready to run the Phantom. Depending on how many followers and profiles you’re collecting, this may take some time. Once it’s finished running, you can preview the result.csv file or download it to your hard drive.
And that’s it! With the Twitter follower collector Phantom, you can easily extract followers from a Twitter account and use this information to expand your own following.
