This one is mostly for our suitors, but ladies, feel free to give your two cents!!  

I've been on twitter for over a year now and have quite a few followers but have only gotten a few bookings. I'm interested in seeing it become a better advertising platform since those are so limited these days. I think maybe hashtags are the key. Gents - when looking for providers do you search hashtags? Which ones? I often use "incall," "busty escort," and "boston escort," but are hashtags what you look through? Are you more likely to just pay attention to retweets from ladies you already know?  Do you follow certain twitter accounts that boost ladies regularly?  

Thanks y'all!

END OF MESSAGE

I see postings on Twitter.. but my problem is that it's not anonymous.. as far as I know unless I have set up a Twitter account using an alias.. so why would i dare to be in contact via twitter and my real id and actuvity would be broadcast though a lot of people via twitter. I do enjoy the pics I see and when I see someone I will go to TER for my research and contact if it makes sense.

I see twitter more as way for gentlemen to learn a little more about your personality, and see some more casual pics that you probably wouldn't use for advertising. I don't see it being useful as direct advertising, more of an aid in making it easier for potential clients to do some research on you, and keeping your regulars up to date.  

Maybe I'm wrong though. I am still pretty new at this.

I understand the need for discretion. There are gentlemen using the site who do so under aliases and then are able to interact with providers. You can also just get on the site and search specific providers or hashtags and see everything without having an account, but maybe you already know that! Also, I think having a twitter is more than advertising, it's an opportunity for gentlemen to have a glimpse into my life when we're not together and gain a deeper understanding of what I'm like as a person :]

I agree! It's great for demonstrating personality.  I've just also heard quite a few ladies talk about the appointments they book solely from twitter, which was interesting to me

It's for the birds!

Just kidding, it's a pretty large social media platform. Mine is listed below if you'd like to see for yourself!

Fuck twitter and hashtags. Most men with money for this hobby don’t use it and would never use it for this because of the risk of being revealed. Hashtags are lame.

Plenty of fun Twitter gals out there, but it's easy to turn off people also.   You can argue that maybe those turned off are not who you want to visit you, but I think it's easy to get carried away on Twitter.  I just recall seeing something where a gal announced she felt really sick...and the by line was buy me a gift.  That was off putting for me.  

As an aside, I don't need Twitter to make a decision.  

I see Twitter as a means to get a sense for who a provider is. I'm less interested in seeing boob pictures than I am in seeing what makes you laugh.  I think it's a gentler forum than TER, with more random banter than you see here.
I cringe at overt ads - it just seems to risky. Maybe it's OK if you're touring, but not locally.

Jeeze she was just asking a question.

If I'm traveling, I'll mention my visit, but don't rely on it for marketing purposes.  

I love that men are able to see me as my civvie self.  

Basically, make Twitter whatever you would like it to be. Whether it's your way of advertising, shooting the breeze with men, getting to know the ladies, etc. Just have fun with it! And don't take it seriously!

I’m sick of it in part because of the idiot in the White House. But I’m ooint8ng out though that most guys with money don’t use it.

The beauty of Twitter is that (1) it's free & (2) depending on your brand you can put in maximum to minimal effort. While TER plays a vital role for many providers, there are some clients that solely use Twitter & other social media platforms to find their companions. In regards to your question about your conversation rate (re: number of bookings coming from Twitter), there could be a few things at play.  

 
First, you could be shadow banned. Shadow banning is done on Twitter (and Instagram) and it's a way for your content to be blocked online without you realizing it. It's ridiculously stealthy how the algorithm determines which people to ban on these social media platforms. Tweeting any sort of adult content (re: pictures with your nipples, porn, links to adult websites, adult content centered hashtags) can result in you being shadow banned. Again, this (1) blocks your content from being seen even by followers (& most definitely non followers) when using a hashtag & (2) stunts your growth in followers.  

 
Second, I've come to find when it comes to receiving bookings on Twitter, engagement can be the key. You don't have to be on there every day. Hell, we have more important things to do like live our life. However comma *laughs*, show your personality a little bit & engage with your followers (reply to their tweets). I know colleagues that are ONLY on Twitter, P411, & TER and are killing it. It's all in how you use the platform. Now are there ways you can turn someone off? Absolutely. I've done it. Then again, I personally thought calling President Trump "Darth Cheeto" was rather funny. Some people... clearly did not but (1) they can't take a joke & (2) that's not someone I want to see if they can't see the humour. The flip side is me tweeting about SexWorkHogwarts made people laugh & I received really awesome inquiries/conversions after that. Only you can determine how much of your personal views you will fuse with your work life. Recognize some clients ADORE seeing the real you & some just want to see the polished version of you; it's a fine line we walk. Only you can determine if the benefits outweigh the negatives.  

 
Finally, and this is just me believing in solidarity with a fellow provider. I strongly encourage you to be thoughtful, if you aren't already, when tweeting in regards to location or anything that may give you away (if you do not show your face). From what I recall, Twitter removes all geographical information from your photos when you post them; however, if you have your location function enabled in "Twitter" you may be tweeting out your location without realizing it. It's one thing to tweet with the info of what city you're in, it's another to tweet with the exact hotel or restaurant in that city.  

 
Best of luck!
LJ, xx

clients are somehow lesser clients. In reality, most twitter guys are the ones making the more extravagant bookings as they're more tuned into our personalities and likes. Literally had people add extra time to go to te museum as a result of seeing me talk about how much I enjoy them.  

A certain kind of client uses twitter actively, another larger subset lurks. It's much like TER in that respect, but overall my experience leads me to believe twitter clients are on average BETTER than those found elsewhere.  

I know it hurts. You too can become one!

Thanks so much for a thoughtful and eloquent reply! I have been shadow banned previously, but I think I'm in the clear now. Or at least my analytics tell me that my followers and interactions continue to grow.

I loved the SexWorkHogwarts! It was hilarious! That's the kind of content I appreciate on twitter, so thanks for kicking that off.  

And yes, explicit disclosure of exact location can be bad for you and even worse for others, "blowing up the spot" is never a good plan.  

Are you planning to be in Boston or the Northeast, LJ? I'd love to meet up if you have the time and energy!

I love your commentary! It’s always on point.

It doesn't surprise me that most of the guys here would be a little bit defensive or put off by it. Much like myself, they're concerned about privacy and I certainly get it. I am too.

But it's just like here, we can remain as anonymous as we want. So for example, if Alexa has an TER/TW account it's really not Alexa, just her stage name, just like Nothrofboston is my alias? here. Same with Twitter.

It's a fantastic way of interacting, I find that the women more engaging and I get an better feel for who they are. And while that's done here (DB) too, it's quite different in that women "volunteer" info about themselves seems Ion RE. I also feel like many of the gals on Twitter have let their defenses down "a little" and are a bit more willing to engage with people that establish themselves as "non time wasters" or everyone's favorite, "trolls."

It's also, as noted by LJ, a kinder and gentler place. And if a caustic issue arises, I haven't seen one turn into a train wreck like they can here, where it seems like many look forward to, add fuel too and enjoy the train wreck.  

Me, not so much, actually not at all. I'm here for the fun and I've had to back away from the discussion board because I found myself getting two engaged and negative over people's opinions and actions that have no bearing on my life.

I've been on Twitter for years... and in a case where our board out here in Colorado is pretty riddled with trolls and trash and heavy LE targeted... it was one of the few ways to be able to share info to let someone know a bit more about me.. (we recently didn't even until recently have a Colorado TER section- which still hasn't taken off)...

I think it's a great tool for the gents- they can scroll down history and see a ladies' interactions with others...to veer away from any drama...plus get a wonderful view of personality, candids etc. You simply sign up with a "hobby twitter" vs any "real life twitter" or business twitter you may have.

I would Not suggest other social media venues like Facebook or Instagram- as those "web" into personal contacts-even with any alias etc...and more privy to someone making a discretion mistake.

With potential of new legal troubles for boards/board owners and posters...you'll probably see more and more ladies using that venue..as although it's pretty "out there" in some ways...it holds an element of safety in regards to user generated content protection...  

As in anything in this hobby....use your big head, don't post a dick pic (we like dog pics better....lol! ) and be a gentleman...

It's good stuff....for the time being...

I recognize this industry is so competitive & people don’t like to always help, but in my opinion a rising tide lifts all boats.  

Anywho, I digress. I am headed up to Boston right after Valentine’s Day (blah... love the romance of it, despise the commercial holiday it’s become). It’s a pretty short little trip but I can squeeze in some time for brunch or an evening cocktail if a gent doesn’t scoop me up during those times on a Friday.  

Feel free to PM here, DM me on a twitter, or email me. We can for sure set something up.

I enjoy interacting with clients and providers alike. Its an outlet to be fun flirty and sexy as well as place announcements etc.  Some have been very successful with gaining clients thru it. Myself, I have had maybe clients book w me thru twitter.  Sometimes you see some funny and silly stuff so it can lighten the day
My 2 cents.... xx

Thank you for your insight! And I agree with you on the negativity aspect, it can be really tough, good for you for taking care of yourself!

Thanks so much for your input, Mel! Definitely agree with you in regards to the profile picture thing, I immediately block accounts with genitals as a profile picture, but that's just me!
