Following on Twitter and Camming..
Im not sure how to think of this one ...
we all want the most $ we can get out hands on ..
Following someone on twitter, assuming they follow you back.. isnt that something like potentially stealing their clients?
if you tweet about something it appears on your Timeline and on your followers Time line too, right? its like your broadcasting your message to HER clients and same for her...
As much as I would love having other camgirls followers and following, this undercover stealing method makes me feel weird...and uncomfortable.. I would not mind much if one of my followers would become that particular model;'s fan and pay for her.. but how do I trust that it would not bother her? What if I end up getting more people of hers to become my fans/followers whatever.. then she gets from me? This to me calls for drama and models bitchiness .....
am I just paranoid ?:O
and then there is this "retweet" thing.. do U just simply ask them to retweet whatever you have to say? what if they dont want to.forget to, dont care......
its not like the other models have your best interest at heart, lets admit it, we are all fighting for the $..
we might give advice here and there, but the truth is we do want to make more then the others..
I hope Im not sounding mean, im just not sure about twitter etiquette ...
if we would tweet about anything else, that would not matter...
How do I ask a top model to follow me on twitter, she already has a few K followers, she does not care about me.. lol and tipping her to "be-friend" her like Devon said is not right... its like buying their fake friendship... not cool..
please dont attach me with this one, Im just trying to understand ... :black_cat

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
I think you're overthinking it a little bit. It's not stealing anyone's customers to follow a girl - the guys won't see your tweets unless they choose to follow you on their own.
If some girl tries to start drama with you about stealing customers, you can just block her. And most guys aren't looking on webcam sites for a possessive girlfriend, you know? So that wouldn't really score her points with her customers. I don't think most camming customers find one girl and only spend their money on her forever, most of them seem to have a few girls they like to spend on.
I wouldn't ask people to follow you on twitter, personally I think that comes off as a little desperate. Follow them and if they want to follow you back, they will. But I've found that most people do follow back.

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
^^ Agreed, BusyGirl. I'm by no means a top girl on MFC, but on that site in particular, it's beneficial to have social capital, so to speak, since it has such a community feel. I know it's definitely helped me on MFC to be friendly with other models who mention me on twitter.

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
my experience so far (i recently started a twitter for camming) has been that other models are happy to follow me or follow me back (if i've already followed them). there hasn't been any customer stealing weirdness. then again, i'm not super twitter savvy so it may be i'm not picking up on something :) but so far i've had a really good experience and been very shocked by the number of followers i've gotten, especially considering i do not do a ton of twitter self-promo. (at least probably not as much as i should.)

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
i should prolly add, i don't have any twitter expectations. i retweet msgs from other models because i like them and i want to. if they reciprocate great, if not, i'm not worried about it. i went into twitter just to have another way to connect w/customers and other models - i was building my website and i wanted to have more of a sense of community w/customers. that might mean great promotion and it might not always mean that...i don't really have expectations about it. i figure it can't hurt, though :)

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
I follow camgirls, as long as you don't tweet every 2 minutes of the day and if you don't 'protect your tweets'. ;) I'm pretty much an open book and hate people that feel like they have to hide or are too good to be 'public'! ;) If you're cool and not snobbish or too tweety, add me and I'll add you.

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
I steal clients.. so what? It's not stealing if they're willing to follow me and patronize me. End of story.

its great you feel this way...
the way i think is.. they are still her clients, she worked somehow to get them.. or they joined her account cause she is just too hot lol.. either way its because of her...
maybe instead of stealing I should have worded it " borrowing" lol

Ooh well. It's just like in escorting when an escort says another escort stole her client. Ummmmmmmmmm........................... (silence)
These men are NOT "your" men! They see different women everyday! Just because he's your client doesn't mean he's "yours". He does not belong to "you".. or "her" .. get it? I feel the same way about my clients. As an escort/very parttime camgirl, I am always willing to give a referral when I am not available. These men do not belong to me. I'm always willing to pass the torch.

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
I'm on Twitter. I don;t follow people who 'protect their tweets' or who tweet every 2 minutes all day long, but other than that, I'm cool. Anyone want to add me? I tweet about normal stuff. Love hockey, food, animals and of course, sex and the biz. I don't spam though. Rarely post links.

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
OK dammit, it isn't working. I'm trying to make this stupid banner (signature) a clickable link but can't figure out how to do it. I used the 'upload from your computer' option. Can someone share the trick? Thanks! lol

Hmm, camming isn't my career, I"m not trying to be "snobbish" but I don't particularly want my family members and entire school to see me on cam, so I protect my tweets for privacy reasons. If people don't want to follow because of it that's fine, but it's not being stuck up.

No, they have to click the "follow" button on your profile to see the tweets in their timeline, unless someone clicks the "retweet" button on your tweet. Am I explaining this correctly?

I think U are., thank you. I should have read the Twitter FAQ's..
So then besides reading what that model you are following is up to, whats the point to link to their twitter...If she does not re-tweet to her users what you are saying...then you pretty much gain nothing out of following her. Is this correct or am I missing something....
I guess what I am trying to ask is how both parties can benefit from following each other in the camworld.....:P

Re: Following on Twitter and Camming..
You can passively learn from them, too. Their style, what works for them, about which topics they talk about with fans...
If you follow people with similar 'flavours' of you, as it were, and you posted a sexy photo that she thought was hot too, she might retweet it. Or, you two could start conversation and become friends, which mean a lot of her tweets would point other people at you while showing that there is (some) relationship between you. (It subconciously says, "Hey, I have conversations with this cool chick all the time! Aren't you curious to see what she says?")
A lot of camgirls also tweet important news regarding the sites, or camgirl stuff in general.

I've had new customers find me from searching through other girls' twitter followers and deciding to follow me. Every Friday on Twitter, many people tweet something called a "Follow Friday" where they list people that they think others might want to follow, and that has gotten me more followers as well. Having more followers is always a good thing - I would rather have it show that I have 300 followers if 100 of them are camgirls, than 200 followers that are all customers. It looks like you are more popular.
Last night, a model friend tweeted about the show I was doing on MFC. She wasn't on cam at the moment, so it wasn't stealing any customers from her. I will now do the same thing for her when she's doing a special show and I'm not online - she helped me out so I'll help her out. But I understand why some models would not want to promote another girl in any way, and you have to be choosy about who you do that kind of thing with, as some girls will just take the free promotion and not reciprocate it.

I have almost 5000 followers and not all of them are my clients. Follow any of them I don't give a shit.
I bet there are a lot of girls on Twitter who feel the exact same way as me.
