Lets assume that I begin a twitter account referencing:

  • My preferences towards MUSIC
  • Inspirational ART & PHOTOGRAPHY
  • SHORT STORIES that I read and enjoy

In my mind, the goal of this account is not only to document my interests, but to also promote the bands, artists, photographers and authors who are @mentioned.

Now lets assume that within 6 months, I begin to create my own Art, Photography, Literature and Music. It seems to me that creating a new Twitter about this ( my work process, rough workings, finished projects, alternative edits, etc ) would be a great thing to do.

But, even though each of these accounts have their own content and goals, I feel there is a good reason for combining the content into one project. Bearing in mind that my preferences in music, literature and art - Documented on Account A - is the inspiration for my own work and creations - Documented on Account B.

On the other hand, as one is primarily focused on interests, and the other is a project, I'm not sure if in practice they would go together as well as it looks in theory.

Alternatively, does this scenario work better the other way around - Turning a project based account into one that documents the inspiration behind your work.

Thoughts please?

    Are you trying to promote/build a community of fans/customers?

  • Well, to be honest at the moment it's just about publishing some details about great music and creative arts, with the intention to promote the creators ( I used to own a music news website ) in a more personal / chatty sort of way. As for my own work, I obviously want to promote it, but wonder if pushing out too much personal posts would damage the following, or make it more receptive.

Practically this same question was asked (but in reverse) a few days ago.

Quoting from myself therein:

Usernames are free. As in "don't cost nothin'".

Who cares if one "person" has 1 username, or 100?

If you want to take the time and effort to create & manage more than one account, by all means: do it!

If you don't, then don't :)

I've got a few Twitter accounts - but all but one rarely get any love from me, because I just don't have the time to do it
