I am a fan of twitter, to the extent that I get most of my shoots booked via it, in terms of talking to models direct and them moving to whatsapp to confirm. This means I cut out agencies and that does reduce my over heads, so I love twitter for that.
Currently I have no affiliate program, I had down with Epoch, but since that was shut down, I have not bothered, membership seem to remain the same, in terms of numbers.
Now traffic, I find that Twitter gives me no traffic at all. I have a small niche site, and I have 21.4K follower on twitter. I have less than 0.5% of that in terms on paying members.
However I am sure if I didn't use twitter, the number would be much less.
For a while also I was receive order for custom content via twitter, but now due to fan network sites like FanOnly, that has reduced my income. It seem that guys would spend out money on poor self shot stuff, from mobile phones, webcams and iPads, than nicely light video shot in 4K or 1080p HD, and more in one angle was zoom in on the bits they like... go figure that out
So I feel twitter is a necessity in some cases, but you will receive a low percentage of traffic from it. I have also know models to complain about follow, where they done charity work, they could have 50K+ followers and only raise a few pounds, one model only raised £28 for a charity from twitter, after that she refused to post any more images on twitter.
the majority of twitter followers will be industry contacts, friends that are showing support, double accounts, or old account people can not access, models that want to work, then you have some fans, the rest are people cursing for free images. it sad really, if I had $1 for every follower of mine on twitter, I would be very much better of a month, and most people on the internet can afford $1 a month.
