Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
Ok, so ages ago I signed myself up as an affiliate for all the major cam sites and I religiously followed all the camgirls who are in the twitter thread so that I could "make more money by not being selfish". The idea is that someone tweets out when she's going on cam, I find her and -using my affiliate link for her bio page- tell my twitter followers to "go check out my buddy X on cam doing Y cool thing!" She gets money, I get money, we all support each other.
This would work great if anybody actually mentioned when they were getting online!
Ladies, we are lying down on the job! Of the last 40 camgirl tweets I see, only 3 are links to content and only 1 of those was a site that has an affiliate program.
I see lots and lots of posts and threads about how much we're making this week or per month or per session so I know we're getting on cam, why aren't we telling people about it?

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I have seen no results from my twitter at alllll. I feel like I'm wasting my time honestly. I guess I should keep up with it but it seems a waste of time. Also I hate tweeting the same thing every time. Seems too much like spam to me.

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I loooove me some twitter.

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I've been trying to be consistent about my tweets - too soon to say if I'll get good results, but I do like having another avenue to express my camgirl personna other than just cam profiles. But asfdjhkgrrr my camday started out so good, I was thinking I was all right from my fever yesterday, but after an hour on cam I felt like a train hit me and now I'm the picture of sneezing misery. /end unrelated rant
I do like it when the camsites retweet our schedules, so I try to lip in something special I'll be doing to give the guys a reason to click that url for me.
Oh, and this thread needs a rageface.

Edited to add, one would think that paying 70% of our earnings to some sites would encourage them to come up with more paying traffic so we wouldn't have to scrounge for our own, but meh.

I can totally understand being like, "fuck it. Twitter doesn't work. Not doing it." I feel like you have to cultivate a persona and chat and share jokes in addition to spamming out the "I'm on cam!" things. Which takes a decent amount of work and time to build up enough people who want to listen. I think everything I say is entertaining and important so I just love having a little soap box to yammer at the internets. If you're not like that it's totally an annoying thing to maintain.
The thing I'm wondering about is why do some women tweet everything else in their lives but not self promotion. I know all about some of our contemporaries' cats and boyfriends and horoscopes but not when they're on cam.

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I try to be really good with tweeting stuff....feel free to cross promote me!! (MooreScarlett)'
Honestly, I don't know if I am getting anything from twitter, but it doesn't take a whole lot of my time, so I keep on tweeting...

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
Twitter DOES require some work, it's not going to promote you if you don't know how to use it.
You can't get on Twitter and just tweet "check out my cam!" links. You're just going to look like a porn bot, people are going to hit that magic "Report for Spam" button and BAM, your account gets banned. You need to give people a reason to follow you - and while some people will follow just to get your schedule updates, the majority will follow because they want to know more about you as a person. Tweet funny pics, little updates about your day, etc. and try not to overuse cam/content links. And do Follow Fridays for your fellow camgirls...cross-promotion doesn't hurt! :)

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
My twitter sat unused for months. Then recently, I decided to make a conscious effort to utilize it. It's kinda hard for me. I try to tweet about 5x a day. But I don't DO anything so sometimes it's hard for me to think of something to tweet about. I have <400 followers right now but I'm getting a couple new ones a day.
But I'm pretty good about announcing when I'm getting on cam. I post a preview pic of whatever I'm wearing (which is super helpful for me to know what I wore on which day for multiple reasons) along with a link to my room.
Mostly the guys who come in my room saying they saw my tweet are regulars. But it at least gives my diehards a head's up as to exactly when I'll be online.

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I think twitter in an invaluable resource. Not only can you network with your peers in the industry, you can learn things from people who have been in the industry longer than you AND you can keep up with your fans...all in a few tweets a day. I use tweetdeck, I keep it running constantly in my background. Follow other camgirls, follow pornstars, follow your fans, follow anyone who seems interesting. Unfollow said people at will, especially if they are annoying, lol. Tweet when you go online. Something like, "hey guys, signing into xxxcamsite, come chat me up!" Of course give your personal url.
Tweet about random stuff. "I'm making pasta for dinner tonight, want some??" "Watching the Walking Dead, I love this show!" It doesn't have to be well thought out, meaningful things. Just little tidbits for guys to get to know you. Respond to them when they talk to you. Post a sexy pic or two, a couple times a week. Make full use of hashtags. #bbw #nude #stockings. Make up your own hashtags.
Freely tweet links to your cam, clips store, facebook, whatever. As long as you are tweeting other things too, it won't be a problem. I try to tweet at least once a day about all my stuff. Cam, clips store, website, tumblr.
DO NOT under any circumstances, tweet directly to other people with your links, either in a mention or a dm. It will be seen as spam. Especially do not do this to other girls in the industry. It's uneccessary and annoying, lol.
Have fun with twitter, don't stress about it...

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I always do but none of my 400 odd followers seem to listen. twitter baffles me as a promotional tool...

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
^^ Even if they don't respond...they are paying attention. ;)

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
The funny thing is, it works a treat for clips etc, but doesn't do anything for camming. I don't even see an increased hit rate to my cam page... What I have not done yet though is really put in the effort to make it seem like i'm just randomly tweeting what i'm doing/ interacting with my followers. Maybe once every few days when i remember i'll post "just making dinner, stew mmmm" or something, and i always post when i have a new clip/ update my website, or am getting on cam. I get all the RT's (thank you lovely ladies) but generally they are not during the hours i'm camming since i am in the uk, so not overly beneficial.

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I wouldn't give up on it, it takes time and effort to see results from anything...

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
Is there a twitter for dummies thread? I got an account but compared to fb land (which I only use for personal stuff/not camming) I just don't get twitter! Like all that mentioning other twitter users? I need a thread on twitter etiquette for camming...

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
Been TRYING to get my twitter on (followed a bunch of the ladies on here on the twitter thread, tried to update semi regularly, put a few sexy pics up, tweeted when I would be online) and I guess I didn't break it up enough because twitter suspended my account (they did this the first time I made a twitter account and it took so long to try to e-mail back and forth to get them to fix it that I just made a new name (the one they just suspended lol)
So now I'm trying to get that reactivated. ugh

A-do the top cam sites (MFC & SM) have affiliate links? how do we use them?
B-I always use tweetdeck to update my twitter and FB that I'm getting on cam (which has pulled a few followers). As well as other goofy updates during the day. But like Isobel said, I never use a link (how do i get a miniurl?)
C-I would love to follow and be followed by as many fellow camgirls as possible. PM me if you wanna follow/be followed.

Re: Camgirls! Y u no tweet when u go on cam?!
I always tweet when getting on MFC. Sometimes I'll mention that I'm getting on cam at other sites, but I feel that sometimes if I do this, guys might come to my ImLive free text chat and hang out there all night. And that would suck, because it's a lower percentage site than MFC and they don't payout as often. I'd rather the guy pay me on MFC where it's a higher percentage AND I get daily pay. :)
In fact, I'm always reminding MFC guys (the silly ones who complain "How come I never see you on?") that they can follow me on Twitter by clicking the Twitter button on my profile. Not only that, but they can take advantage of MFC's news feeds and notifications (they can be notified by text message or e-mail when favorite cam girls get online). Even with all of those options, some of those guys STILL say "Nah, I don't fuck with Twitter." Or they'll say "Nah, I don't want MFC texting my phone." ::)

Most cam sites have an affiliate program. MFC doesn't. SM does, http://www.streamatecash.com/ Usually, if you scroll all the way down to the bottom of a site you'll find the, "webmasters/affiliates click here" link and you can use that.

Couldn't tell you specifically on tweetdeck, I use hootsuite. They have a little thing on the place where you enter text to tweet and it says, "shrink URL" I'm sure tweetdeck has one too, I just don't know where. A quick search through their faq or help should find it. Failing that you can use bit.ly or something like that. Just cut and paste.
