Hey babes! This topic has come up with me for about 5mos now and providers and hobbyists alike are urging me to get a Twitter account. Is it really necessary or that beneficial as everyone says? A few providers swear by it, but I'm just a little apprehensive because I've had a few stalkers in the past and don't want to repeat the cycle. What is everyone's thoughts? Thanks!

I find Twitter is a tool.  I can monitor posts of someone I'm interested in.  Follow links to their posts etc..   It's just one of many tools you can choose to use..  I'd not rely 100% only on Twitter..

I use it. It allows me to be more candid and shows my other interests, such as sports, music, arts, social issues.   It gives my followers a glimpse in to my everyday life.  It also shows that I'm human and have emotions and deal with everyday problems.  

If you are worried about stalkers, there are many apps to monitor your followers. You can make your page private. Also there is the block and report button, too. Plus you don't have to put personal identifying info on your page, unless you want to.  You can post what you feel comfortable with.

You can connect with other providers and SWs globally and, of course,  possible clients. Also many providers use it to promote other social media platforms or forums that they use, which can increase their presence and profits. So it's not bad, as long as you work it to your benefit.

to join Twitter I just did back in May.It has been beneficial to me I have met clients who are not here or other sites.
I have also gotten to interact with providers from different places.I stay out of drama and political debates.
I post selfies,new photos,retweet,travel and tour schedules etc.
It is a chance for a gent to get to see another side of yourself.
I wouldn't say it is necessary but I have met some very nice clients from Twitter.
Do what works best for you.

Given the level of effort and no out of pocket cost to “advertise” on twitter (simply by having a presence), I would say it’s definitely beneficial. There are now clients who strictly use twitter to find providers, there are other clients who use twitter along with reviews to find ladies. It’s great in helping determine compatibility.  

I have set out to put together a twitter guide for clients and providers alike (life has been hectic so I haven’t had the time I wanted to devote to it, but will be able to push it out sometime in Feb). I asked for feedback from clients about what they like or don’t like about twitter. Here are some excerpts, verbatim, that I was given permission to share when I did:

“Dear Priya -- Since you asked, let me say that I've found Twitter to be a remarkably enjoyable way both to interact with potential future companions as well as stay connected with previous partners in various cities.  I don't find it counterintuitive at all, and often use Twitter as a way to get a sense of someone's personality, then if there's a potential match, I would check out her web site and make contact via email.  Hope that's helpful. “

“Love the idea of using Twitter in the SW community.  As a Client I have found this allows me a opportunity to learn about a companion prior to meeting.  Would we have a connection, would we have similar likes or dislikes, would we enjoy our time together?  These are aspects I am interested in when seeing someone.  The financial and beauty aspect can also be better I sers-toi via her tweets.  These are my observations...”

 
“In response to your tweet on the pro/con on Twitter.  As a client, I think the pro is to be able to meet ladies outside of my area.  The con is sometime ladies doesn't separate business from personal views.  When this happen ladies open themselves to criticism of their personal view that some clients might disagrees with and get turned off on seeing them.”

While the purpose of twitter is sharing your stream of consciousness, in regards to safety you can share whatever you want. I rarely tweet my present location (outside of what city I am in). I also remove the location tags from my tweets. If I am posting a photo, I often try to ensure the background is nondescript or send once I’ve left the premises. You can set your profile to private as well if you would like to filter who is looking.  

I hope that is helpful and would be happy to DM you once I finish my formal writing on the subject on my blog. It is just intensive and I’ve been trying to collect (meaningful) data and process it - much like a research project, it is time intensive!

I'll get to working it! Thank you for the great tips!!

like every other social media, there's going to be the haters, the followers and the drama queens and kings... but gotta love the block option!  

As far as dates, yes.. I have meet wonderful gentleman thru twitter; either bc they follow other girls or for other things that I do.  

Twitter is NOT a verification tool, just a way to show your personality.

Twitter is a great tool! Looking over my stats, I can vouch that a decent percentage (over 25%) of my bookings have come from Twitter. And while I have met some amazing TER users, Twitter clients or those that use Twitter in conjunction with TER, tend to enjoy a more organic encounter from my experience. This notion about a "menu" or how many "pops" are included in 1.5H is almost non-existent and instead the focus is on the experience as a whole, not the ultimate act alone.

It is a wonderful place to show your personality; however, there are pros & cons depending on how you brand yourself on the platform. Often times you will find yourself toeing the line between being authentic/genuine or putting on a performance. Some clients like the authenticity, some want the performance. Sooner or later you find the balance.

How long does it take to get some momentum going as far as followers and getting appts from it? I mean I just signed up yesterday but was just wondering the average time

That is a difficult question to answer because for every provider, it is unique to their business.  

 
Personally, it depends on how you market/brand yourself. There are so many variables that go into it. Posting pictures a lot? You may increase your following substantially. Showing a lot of personality? You may increase your followers substantially. I'd argue, in my experience, so long as you are posting a photo semi frequently (even a selfie once a week), giving insights into your likes, dislikes (word it appropriately), passions, subjects you find interesting, movies (I had a Deadpool header for months & it allowed me to connect to clients), etc., you'll steadily gain. Politics and current social issues is one where you have to either just go for it or play it safe. Also, don't buy followers, because it's sort of easy to tell.  

 
In regards to the conversation time, again - relative. I signed up for Twitter in June 2016 (they list your sign up month/date on your profile on the desktop version) and by July 2017, I had my first "Twitter" client. They lived in NYC and I, at the time, was based in Dallas. So, it will for sure help in your local market, but it also helps to expose you to other markets as well.  

 
However, like others have stated, be safe using this form of social media. Do not geotag your location until after you've left. I do not to post selfies from photo shoots until after I've left that hotel (never tag the hotel). Make sure you keep Twitter from syncing with your contacts; only allow contacts to find you via your work email, etc. When Priya's blog post comes out, make sure to read it. She knows her stuff!

Good Luck!

LJ, xx

You can do plenty to speed up that process by getting involved in local conversations, such as hashtags about the local sports teams or topics that would be engaging to your ideal client demographics... perhaps finance? Wall Street Journal? Golf? Just be careful not to spam people. I also try to check out their profile a bit before engaging with them to make sure they seem like someone whose attention I’d want to get.

Follow other providers on Twitter. Clients will often check who is following a provider, and you’ll pick up some followers that way.

depends... I am not following girls that all they do is complaint about clients, bullying others, slutshame other woman, and threw their negativity everywhere. ALL THE TIME!  

 
I guess.. some times  we complaint on things that happen, a rude person, or a story here and there...  is ok.. we are all humans, we all get upset and express ourselves. But all the time?! It gets annoying.  
NAH, I got not time... nor energy for that... my block and unfollow goes for the cat fights and drama...  

Life is too beautiful to be so negative. In my case... I have meet wonderful clients (TER,p411,twitter) and I do praise them as well bc I appreciate their business.

just as others have said , it's another good tool for marketing.

I haven't tried social media, but I rather like things the way they are.  I have a good group of loyal friends with the right mix of occasional newcomers.  I don't want to be a full time content generator for thousands of lurkers or men with short attention spans who bounce from distraction to distraction in their feeds.  I've always found this business to be a delicate balance between exposure and a low profile.  For me, putting this part of my life on social media would upset that balance for me.

for networking and as you get the hang of it you should start attracting clients. You have the control over who you allow  to see your account but I understand it's difficult to promote to the public and keep yourself private at the same time. But if you commit to it you should be able to gain followers that you approve of and who will RT for you. Good Luck!!! :)

Since being on Twitter, all I see are ladies (very well known ladies), being sarcastic and rude in their Tweets. If they're not being sarcastic or rude, they're bragging about the gifts clients have bought them. Is this truly the self image you'd like to give off to clients/ potiential clients?

my clients like when I post the things they give me, some don't, some do.. I'll ask. Why.. I don't know, but many of them like it... and if they like it.. I don't care what ladies say about it. Anyways, ladies are not the ones paying my bills. haha 🙃

There's all kinds of people on twitter, the good thing is that it is YOUR marketing, YOUR social media and everyone can post whatever THEY want. We decided if we can follow or not.  

:)

I use Twitter almost daily!

I'm happy to follow any of you other babes :)
