    Man, to be honest, I loathe Instagram for all the reasons you mentioned. It becomes a game on how you can trick extra people into engaging. And I want a platform where ALL the people who follow me see what I post. I’m going to have to give Twitter a real go.

    BONUS TIP: Treat your Twitter profile with care and only tweet, retweet, and like stuff that helps Twitter know what type of account you are!
    I think that it's interesting that you use Twitter like this! One thing that gets tricky is the ability to dip into politics or other polarizing things.

    • @bvwanders
      @bvwanders 4 года назад +12

      If your going to treat your Twitter account with care for photography, which is a good way of doing it, why not just get a separate Twitter account then. One Twitter for Photography and a 2nd Twitter for general use?

Anyhow, just wanted to say thanks. Super grateful for the work you're putting out.

      @@RanftEvan also reddit can be super difficult about who and where to share to. r/pics can be a good one for general posts because there are so many eyes on it. Yet that can be a con in itself because of how many people are posting. Then the idea could be to share on more niche subreddits. But these can have their own quirks where the community can be real gatekeepers. One time I actually posted my photo of a bus in Atlanta Georgia (which @EvanRanft shared in his video last month because he's a badass ruclips.net/video/C93IWLpbnmA/видео.html ) to r/atlanta and it got blasted because i used the term "downtown" in the header instead of "midtown" which is a minor difference in location but people killed me for it lol... Point being choose the sub that fits your work best. I have certainly had good luck in other subs with photos Ive shared.
