Twitter for hobbying use - good, bad, tips, etc.,?

[Lad1234]

IMO The key to making Twitter work for you as a hobbyist is to not use it as a hobbyist. Use it instead to interact with the providers as people. Become a member of the SW-client Twitter community before you begin expecting it to pay hobby-related dividends. Flirt. Joke. Don’t be a sycophant. Don’t be an asshole.

That said, for all the talk of “slobbyists,” I’ve found that Twitter is just as good at allowing provideres to reveal some ugly things about themselves through their behavior. There have been attractive ladies (who I’ve not heard any performance-related reports that would otherwise keep me from seeing them) that I have seriously downgraded on or outright removed from my provider bucket list simply because of their twitter behavior. If they knew this, I doubt they’d lose any sleep over it — but I wonder how many others have done the same.

The one thing that I, as a client, don’t care for is providers who retweet every other provider’s announcements. If even 5 percent of these retweets involved travel news that involved my city, I’d be fine with it, but they almost never do. So the signal-to-noise ratio of content that providers near me share gets worse and worse. I get that it’s supportive, but it frustrates your potential clients. There should be a balance. (Or maybe clients need to be pointed to where they can reliably find your availability info.)

Many providers do not post their availability for safety reasons. After you do your homework and decide on a friend you wanna see...ask them. Our safety trumps convenience every single time.

I don't use my Twitter to advertise. I do in passing say "headed to DC" or something for those who follow to see when I'm visiting a certain city but generally use Eros in larger cities.

I do follow some provider friends and an absolute ton of providers that I don't follow end up in my feed. I would guess if you follow a few you'll end up with a ton in your feed or suggested.

I use Twitter to good off and keep in touch with friends but mostly for the entertainment.
And yes I retweet most of my fellow providers messages in order to help them with more exposure.

It's not hard at all to figure out how to navigate and approach a lady.

This. I mostly began using it when all these FOSTA related fiascos began happening with the boards. I use it primarily as a way to keep in touch with the entertainer-client community, updated pics, very general availability/approximate location type stuff...Overall, though, I prefer to keep my Twitter pretty low-key

Ditto.
