I meant to post about it this morning. I was shocked to see that my search had been changed by default. I really wish that they would send out a notification when that happens.

Right!!!! It cannot be that hard to send a notification to everyone.

I feel like it was done intentionally but maybe that is just me thinking they want to curb the adult content!

How important do you girls think it is to have your promo twitter handle match your cam name?

My cam name on SM is of the form Adjective-Firstname (let's say BoringBeryl), but on other sites I've been using the handle Firstname Lastname (say, Beryl Benson). I would like to bring all my branding to the same name. Ideally, I'd like to use "Beryl Benson" everywhere, but that name isn't available on twitter, whereas "BoringBeryl" is, and I have it registered (currently dormant).

I have the .com domain registered both for "BoringBeryl" and "Beryl Benson".

Soooo... how big a deal do you think that I don't have @berylbenson twitter handle? (The person who has it seems to have been banned from twitter or deactivated, which means I can't even offer to buy it from them. Kinda why I registered @boringberyl to start with.)

Its not a major issue. I work under different monikers and have started to move away from my original name. I want to use the old name to expand in the niche but not as a solo model. So now I've started using a slightly different name for myself. Despite the change people can still find me. The best part about twitter is you can create a hashtag for your name #berylbenson and add it to your bio. Use it on a regular basis in your tweets and it will appear in google search results when someone searches for you. Also on your profile you can have a second name in addition to @boringberyl. I change mine on a regular basis. Honestly I love when people on twitter do this. I think some of them are hysterical. Yesterday I noticed someone I follow have a new name it was "Eartha Clitt @twittername" two days before she was "I took yo man @twittername" LMAO so if you wanted you could be "Beryl Benson @boringberyl"

What do you do with guys who only retweet you, but aren't promoters with massive followings? Like the guys who RT everything you do, hit you up constantly saying how much they adore you, but you never see a conversion from these dudes?

I feel bad for blocking them because essentially they don't do anything wrong but I feel profited off and everytime I see them in my notifications I get angry, because dude you can RT me countless times and you love me ' so much' but yet can't buy a 10$ clip or 5$ Goldshow?

I'm a newbie to camming but not to social media marketing or the sex industry, and I personally wouldn't block people who aren't trolls or jerks.

IMO those ppl are good for business. It shows others that there are ppl interested in you. A retweet is like a "cosign"; the perception of popularity can sell you to others. Twitter is for marketing purposes and brand-building. Marketing is a longplay game; sometimes the results are not instant but you'll be slowly building up your brand. Those ppl may not buy clips or goldshows now but in the future they may buy something else you start selling.

If they are DM'ing you alot you need to request a tribute for that "Tribute $3 for reply to DM" or sell them a sexting session.

Also: "I feel profited off " I wonder are you giving away too much for you to feel like this? In the world of marketing you have to intrigue the potential client with good content but you don't have to give away everything or your best stuff.

To increase your chances of attracting "instant customers", follow relevant Twitter users (example: follow people who follow @streamate, @myfreecams @manyvids etc)...ETA: In my experience, Twitter has a 4:1 followback ratio for vanilla accounts (for every 4 ppl you follow, 1 will follow you back), it's more like 4:2 ratio for sex industry... especially if you have a sexy profile pic ;).

Advertising and campaigns.
Sooo... it looked like to me several performers are being promoted. How do you do that? I tried to do a campaign through twitter and it said I was ineligible because of the adult nature.
I don't post nudes or anything so I am confused how other more out-there in your face ones are being promoted. Or is that just suggestions based on my habits? They look like promoted accounts and tweets.

Its possible if your account hasnt been flagged. Some people are able to fly under the radar and get approved. I have a few that I can use twitter cards with and others I cannot. On one account that I manage I had to send twitter several messages to have the flag/ban removed. My reasoning was that I've never used any nudity on the account and the twitter is meant to provide services for adult workers, not to push adult content. Finally someone at Twitter listened. It really does make increase your click through rate when you use twitter cards. But what you may have seen may not be an actual promotion but just a simple twitter card. If someone is using it to promote xrated content it's only a matter of time before they get shut down. Personally I don't take the chance and just use the non-promoted cards. That's on my adult accounts. If you've been flagged as adult create a new twitter and keep the content G-Rated. Use that one instead.

The tweet will say promoted underneath it if it is in fact promoted. If its just a twitter card clicking on the image will take you away from twitter on another website. That's how you know.

Okay I've searched and can't find anything on this so:

Recently the three or four promoters who ALWAYS tweet when I log onto SM haven't done that at all. All at once, just crickets. Has this happened to anyone, or any suggestions? Then I don't even know if they were helping that much, who knows.

Are they still tweeting other people? Its possible that it was the same promoter running different twitter accounts and that could be why they stopped at the same time. Maybe they have other things to do? Or if you don't ever mention them or retweet them then it's possible that they took you off of their list of people to promote. Personally I don't see it as a big deal unless you can prove that they were sending you traffic.

Hmm yeah still tweeting others. I think you're right, I just didn't interact enough.Also yeah, who knows if it was bringing any traffic. I just was paranoid I violated some twitter etiquette or something, and they all "blacklisted me", but i don't think so. Thanks again :)

Has anyone successfully gotten unshadowbanned And then remained that way? Mine has been for several months at least and my impressions have dropped from around 30k daily to under 4k so it's hardly worth posting.
Also all promoters just quit rting me even when I tag them

Start a new account. Not sure what happened on your current one to get ghosted but the new one just treat it like a mainstream account. Have your links in your bio and pinned tweet. But then tweet about every day things. On one of my twitters I suspect was shadowbanned but now it's fine. Could be that I stopped using porn tags? Now I tweet about all kinds of stuff and I still have a high level of engagement.

I'm having a REALLY hard time getting re-tweeted. I recently came back to twitter (and the "game" altogether), but NOBODY has re-tweeted my stuff yet. Its mostly gifs, and screenshot photos from videos. I assumed the videos would get tweeted quicker then the photos, but its been days of steady tweeting at people (different ones, never over tagged, with text in the box) but still not one retweet. At this point, its more of a frustration thing. I main on SM, and even though i DO tell people my twitter name on there (its my SM name), i'm having a really hard time growing without re-tweets.

Its because your tweets are protected. No one can see your tweets unless you're both following one another. And even if you are following each other there's no point in retweeting you if their followers cant see the tweet. Private twitters are great but not if you want to grow numbers.

09-20-2017, 01:26 AM
THANK YOU! I wondered if that was a issue. I only recently did that (pervert FIL stalks me). Im going to unprotect it though! Plus, it was easier to do follow-backs that way.

Are you sure you're really shadow banned & not some other twitter annoyingness?

http://shadownban-checker.xho.bedita.net/

Or try https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=from:YOUR_USER_NAME&src=typd&lang=en (http://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=from:YOUR_USER_NAME&src=typd&lang=en)
Replace "YOUR_USER_NAME" with your name, while logged out of twitter. It should show your twitter content in the same manner the general public sees it.

Get ready for 280 CHARACTERS PER TWEET!

SOURCE (https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/product/2017/Giving-you-more-characters-to-express-yourself.html)

We want every person around the world to easily express themselves on Twitter, so we're doing something new: we're going to try out a longer limit, 280 characters, in languages impacted by cramming (which is all except Japanese, Chinese, and Korean).
Although this is only available to a small group right now, we want to be transparent about why we are excited to try this. Here are some of our findings:

Hey, I just logged into Hootsuite after not using it for a while and noticed they've set a limit of 30 autoscheduled tweets for free users. Does anybody use the paid version and do you think it's worth it? If there's some free alternative to Hootsuite that works well for tweet scheduling I'd be happy to hear about it.

Social Media Hacks For Cammodels (http://boleynmodels.com/blog/social-media-hacks-for-cammodels/) She talks a little bit about tweetdeck and some stuff for Intagram. I use both but I've noticed that Hootesuite has gotten a little confusing lately.

This is regarding the twitter ad policy. BUT more accounts are getting shadowbanned but I think its because theyre posting full nudity.
Twitter says it plans to provide additional details concerning how it reviews and enforces its policies in a separate update coming November 14.

Instagram converts well and so does facebook. It depends on if you're a performer or an adult company if you choose to use fb. IMO performers do better in private groups vs a business page.

On the posi- side it makes space for more luscious and descriptive erotica.

So, it seems like most everyone only follows back other cam models and paying customers on Twitter. Is this pretty much true? I was following back everyone who followed me and all I have are a bunch of freeloaders sending me messages wanting free pics or sending me dick pics. I also was sending a message to each new follower thanking them which typically initiated the constant messages/dick pics. How do you ladies handle new followers? Do you thank them at all or not? I'm so bad at Twitter. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I only ever followed other models, people/brands i was interested in, and spending customers. Right now on my new twitter i am following loads of people (related to my interests) just to get follow backs, then will unfollow most (yes i'm THAT irritating person!). You can use an auto service to send a welcome dm to people if you really want to send each new follower a message. Look into hootsuite and buffer x

Do you know if instagram does that thing where it surprises you by recommending your account to people you know IRL? I might like to make an instagram account for work but I already have one account linked to my FB for my artwork and one personal secret one and I can't afford to get a second smartphone just for work.

I have amazing results with both Twitter and Instagram and not once have I been outed via a suggestion. I do however use multiple devices. And I've never signed up via mobile for any social media platform. Only desktop and I also use separate browsers for personal and adult when on my desktop. Never use Facebook on your phone if you want to avoid this, especially the app. Many of these cautionary tales provided by concerned people I suspect aren't being completely truthful in their accounts. It can be tricky but Instagram is fully amazing. If you'd like more info feel free to send me a dm.

If you are looking for a high level of engagement, this is what you don't do. Follow to unfollow. You may as well just purchase followers to fluff your numbers and appear to be popular. But of course it's pretty obvious when your followers are mostly bots and dead accounts when you buy them. I have ideas and solutions on how you can better use your time when increasing engagement. If anyone is interested you can send me a dm.

Isn't it the case that a lot of promoters have a lot of fake followers?

naomi_doll
11-26-2017, 04:45 PM
I think it depends on the promoter. Katy was saying affiliates drive the best traffic, so I would consider getting in touch with those who use affiliate links. If they are out to make money just like us, they will be way more motivated to retweet or drive traffic to you when you are online.

Someone who ISN'T following me or is a friend/fellow colleague of mine has blatantly advertised themselves to my followers, but I can't work out how to delete their reply/pic? They've posted as a reply to a couple of my tweets, so I've deleted those tweets yet her photo is still in my notifications and is still picking up loves and retweets. I wouldn't have minded if she'd just ASKED.

Will blocking her account completely make her pic vanish to EVERYONE, not just me?

Her tweets are on her timeline, and they don't disappear from there just because you deleted the tweets she was replying to - but now they're only getting likes etc from her followers and whoever rts her. *Your* followers can't see them any more, because they're not "threaded" to your tweets - nobody can see your notifications except you.

You can block her, and she won't be able to reply to your tweets any more.

Ah, no, they really were being liked etc by my followers (of course, they could be her followers too, I didn't check). She had replied to one of MY tweets with HER advert. However, blocking her has made her replies disappear (dunno if anyone else can see them). I just thought it was rude, if she'd have asked I would have said yes, it was the fact this random stranger decided to plonk herself in my tweets like that which irritated me.

Anyway, minor drama over LOL :D

I forgot to post last month, but today is the day (Dec. 18th) to see exactly what twitter meant when they updated their policies. Some are calling it a Purge of Alt Right accounts. We will see how much it effects adult content. They did leave a loophole in there that re-states an old policy about not allowing nudity in headers or avatars.

We’ve updated our rules around abuse and hateful conduct as well as violence and physical harm. These changes will be enforced starting December 18. Read our updated rules here: https://twitter.com/rules 11:00 AM - Nov 17, 2017
