What do you think about free nudes on Twitter?
Just curious, if you see a model on Twitter you admire and they have some nudes on there already... would you be more or less likely to join their patreon?
Feel free to explain your answer in the comments if you want :)

Nothing too good, but it would help to get the word out.
i do not feel comfortable about Twitter at all, simply because our most infamous lucifer-in-chief uses it for spreading international fascism.
yeah I dont follow him!
I've noticed as an Artist, whenever I would give away a postcard with a 5x7 image on the postcard with my info on the front or back, a lot of people would grab the card and I would have people come back to me a year later and actually brag to me they framed my card by cutting away my name and then putting the framed piece in a small area like the bathroom or a small wall in the kitchen and then never purchase anything ever. I stopped giving away the postcards and stuck to business cards only and now I only give them to people that ask for one personally instead of them just grabbing one off of the table. So I don't think giving images away for free will help, just posing partially nude and "edit" out the parts that are considered completely nudes might help generate memberships. Your prices are spot on, not too expensive and the $10 package makes it easy to sign up. Since I support various artists, I usually look for the $10 spot as I support about 8 or 10 sometimes. So, your prices are great, your artistic nudes and videos are well worth the price, so a Patron does indeed get their money's worth! Whoever else is reading this, GET her "how to photograph a model book" either in print form or pdf. I got the pdf and I have to say - it's a lifesaver and one of the easiest "how-to" books to understand and start photographing with confidence. Because you give to a charity, I also love giving to you as well! So, bottom line, your art is well worth the prices! I'm happy to be one of your patrons! :) Thank you for putting the book in pdf btw! I think you will get more sales that way as I purchase a lot of PDF books on how to sketch and draw the figure from a great figure artist on his website. You can't ignore a $9.99 price for a whole book! So, I have purchased everything he has published. I think you are doing a great job with this site. If I have any ideas. I'll DM you.
aw thank you!!! not many people say anything about the charity donation part of my patreon so I am so happy you suggested it. And for anyone curious about the book it's called "Posing for Glamour, Fine Art & Facial Expressions" and it's here: Ebook: <a href="http://www.blurb.com/b?ebook=687157" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.blurb.com/b?ebook=687157</a> and print: <a href="https://bit.ly/2HfxG9Y" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/2HfxG9Y</a>
If someone doesn't want to pay then nudes on Twitter won't change their behavior. Those on the cusp (i.e. they don't have much disposable income) may be enticed to join Patreon by the occasional nude on Twitter.
For some moels, I'd just like an occassional photo posted to see how they interact with photographers. Some models post none at all!
Neither. I follow you to watch you evolve as an artist. Photo and model.
awww :) music to my ears
This may prove I’m old, but they wouldn’t sway me one way or the other. A few extra “bits” in the pic doesn’t make it better or worse. You make good pics or you don’t.
I voted 'Less Likely' because it depends on the Twitter content. If one of 'the great unwashed' is able to acquire free content, they will not pay for what they can already get, even if it's less content. If Twitter has censored or implied imagery as a 'tease', then they would be more likely to come to Patron to 'taste the cake that the icing enticed'. I feel the same about IG or FB... Leave 'them' wanting what they can't get in those mediums and come to Patron where they can.
I do think those who pay JUST to see the uncensored photo might have a higher turnover rate and expect a mile for paying only a dollar too, the REAL fans support for the personality and the art I think, the nipple fans just for a cheap thrill?
I think of Patreon as a more one2one experience at first but as the followers increase it is less so! The personal touch seems to be better on Patreon than Twitter in my opinion overall but Twitter is a nice introduction to a new creative model!
thats good insight, and hey I try my best to engage! :)
If you are looking to follow a model and knowing that they post that type of content it would only be logical to follow them over and check out their page. The tweeted pic would make you curious to see more.
i dig that
Neither more or less likely.
