How often do you reply to twitter direct messages?

[Nandakishore]

It would be interesting to know how we react to twitter direct messages, how often do we reply to them and why or do we neglect them.

[atreis]

I never reply, they are too many

[Doolally]

If something is really interesting and isn't spammy then I might reply. More often than not though, I ignore.

[Skinski]

I'll reply back to people I know online.

[Anthony]

I will reply to anything that is relevant and not a promo message.

[shayla69]

I never Reply To them.... I never Even check them!!

[Renee]

I have replied to a couple but the user never replies back.

Hint - if you're going to use these forms of marketing, be prepared to reply! If you don't reply people will unfollow etc...

[patmcluk]

Never...the ones i have bothered reading have been automated spam

[LuckyLizzy]

I currently have 127 direct messages to go through on Twitter.

Most of them are going to be spam, but I will always go through them once in a while and reply to messages that interest me.

I always feel so free once I have gone through my DMs!

[casinoyaya]

OMG!!! I never reply..

[Chips]

I don't get many DM's there (yahooo) When I do I reply if it calls for a reply. I think I may have had 10 or so in the past year.

I run the Twitter account for Global Live Casino and try and always reply.

There are obviously a lot of people who follow for no reason, and send direct messages that have nothing to do with casino or affiliate programs. But I really think that if you're putting yourself and your brand out there than the point of it is to add another channel of access.

Also from what I understand people can only Direct Message you if your following them as well, so maybe a good way to cut down on spam is to not follow people who are not related to your vertical.

Just my thoughts

I don't think this is correct or else I'm mis-understanding a direct message.

I only follow a handful of affiliate programmes, but get plenty of @GoonersGuide tweets from my followers ...

I will only reply if I sincerely think it's a real person without self interest. That's when I will reply. Most of the time I can tell they are generic.

I do the same... I just hate it when you send a real message to someone and they don't reply.. whats the point of having followers who are interested in what you're saying if you don't care about interacting with them.

I guess its like support.. You email support for something, they dont reply, you go somewhere else..

Agreed, but then again I'm not dealing with the mass of messages that a lot of affiliates are getting on top of what they already find in their in boxes every morning

I never reply! Most of the time I don't even look at them.
