Twitter is the “everything” tool.

It is the cocktail party of social media. Everyone is on there, you can talk to anyone, and if you’re a total douche bag no one will hang out with you.

Twitter’s uses are really just about infinite but the main there are a few areas where it really shines.

The Best Way To Use Twitter As A Webcam Model

#1. A scalable engagement tool for your fan base.

You can’t sit and IM with 100 people per day on Kik or Whatsapp, each instant messaging conversation is too time consuming.

You could however send 100 people a tweet per day, either with 1 click to send a broadcast tweet to everyone. Or 1 by 1 in about an hour. These little micro-engagements actually matter a lot.

Twitter is an interesting platform in that some users get 100s or 1,000s of mentions per day, while a ton get less than 5. I assume the majority of users get 0. Most people just still don’t get it.

But… They know by now that they should get it. Twitter is famous. Almost everyone is on it. So people know there is something to it. Most just don’t know what.

With that in mind, a Tweet mentioning someone still carries weight. It’s like what email was in 2001. It isn’t so asstastically over saturated that 90% get’s ignored.

I don’t know about you, but I read every single tweet that I’m mentioned in. And when someone says something cool or nice to me, I feel kind of special. Realizing this, I try to give that little special gift to other people whenever I can (though I’m not as good at this as I want to be yet).

You can make 100 fans per day a little bit happier by tweeting to them individually and engaging them. And it’s a lot fucking easier than email.

#2. An outreach tool to build your fan base.

You can tweet @ anyone who uses twitter. Be creative. Think about the time you spend on cam and the private shows you have with customers. If you are good at being a webcam model, you should have a clear idea of your customer demographics.

Who do you appeal to? 45 year old divorced attorney’s? Greek immigrants with an interest in model airplanes? No problem! They’re on Twitter. And they can easily be found using search.twitter.com.

Pick a twitter account that you think would be followed primarily by your target demographic. Then just go through the list of users following that person and engage them one by one. Don’t mention the account you poached them from, just respond to one of their tweets and give them something valuable (I.E Conversation).

Don’t pitch them your cam link(read paragraph one regarding douche bags for the reason why).

Just jump into conversations around Twitter and genuinely provide value. This has infinite scalability. Twitter is the one social network where it’s totally appropriate to go tweet at a complete stranger that you’ve never interacted with anywhere before. But it’s like approaching someone at a club, if you’re weird/creepy/annoying/spammy, you’ll just get blocked instantly.

Run your game.

#3. A shameless promotional tool to send traffic to your room.

Eventually, it’s OK to pitch. Key word = eventually. Timing & frequency is everything here.

On a 1 to 1 interaction it’s acceptable to tweet a link to your only if the individual asks for it, or has been to your room before (current fan base). To strangers from Part 2, it’s pretty much always a weird thing to do.

At the broadcast level, “as much as you want” is probably fine. Most people follow a lot of people, and that’s cool. If you overdo it, you’ll lose fans. If you underdo it, you’ll lose fans. It all depends on the make-up of your audience. Like I said, understand your demographic.

Rather than suggesting it’s OK to pitch, I might as well just tell you the right way to do it.

The right way to promote your room.

Rather than logging on at 10PM and then remembering, “Jordan said use Twitter” and then tweeting that you’re online. Why not start telling your customers a story at 8PM. Start tantalizing them with a tweet every few minutes to draw in their attention. Elevate it as you get closer and closer to your login time. The content of these tweets should be “intriguing pictures” with short captioning tweets that tell a story. Then when you get online you can do a picture with a link to your room to conclude the story (or better yet to segue the story into tweeting while you’re online about what you’re doing while you’re online).

Some models think they have caught onto this by posting a tweet at 8PM that says, “Logging on at 10PM, CUM SEE ME THEN!!! XOXO”. That is of course the furthest thing from getting it. Dummies.

Apply this all based on ratio’s

If you spend 30/100 of your tweets engaging with your current fan base (making sure to engage individually with all of them on a regular basis), 69/100 of your tweets reaching out to new people and having interesting conversations with them (without spamming), and 1% promoting your room — you will get astounding results from Twitter, very very fast!

Most webcam models spend 95% of their tweets posting links to their chatroom or pitching in some other way, and 5% of the time giving meaningless responses to the few fans that follow them.

This causes 100% of their time being annoyed that “twitter doesn’t work”.

This is worth repeating. The overwhelming majority, and I mean like a shocking 99%, of webcam models that use Twitter, are spending the overwhelming majority of their time pitching their rooms.

This get’s 0 results, because no one cares about them (no one cares about you either, or me. Social Media is a IDGAF world). Most who are doing this don’t even have an audience on Twitter. They are sending broadcast tweets to a few hundred followers, all of whom are following hundreds of other people, so probably about 1% of them will actually see the tweet.

A regular daily effort or seriously thinking out clever tag lines to put with the link to their room, for a total reach of probably less than 10 people even seeing it, and maybe a maximum of 1 even clicking (if they’re lucky).

This is how most webcam models spend their time on Twitter.

Just imagine what one solid model who follows the 30/69/1 ratio of engaging their fan base / reaching out to new people / 1% pitch could achieve over a few months.

Btw, if you have 0 fan base. That 30 should be invested on top of the 69, for 99% outreach.

That’s it, I’m done.
