^ Been on twitter since the early days. I'm not much of a social creature by nature, but as a marketing channel, twitter has by far generated the most business for me over the years. I just be helpful in public, and when we need a new customer I literally just tweet "had some hours open up if anyone is looking for X" and just like magic we get a new customer. I wouldn't scoff at paying a little to keep that, but remove the non-native/boosted advertising from my feed.
