Why your DMs are open on Twitter?

Question

Why do you choose to offer people to send you a DM on Twitter?
To build relationships, to grow through others, to connect with people...?

Joyce Kettering · Accepted Answer

To start conversations with new, often unexpected people I would have never met in real life :)

Eric Unger · Answer

Why not? It's worth getting the small amount of spam to make connections and allow anyone who finds me on Twitter to reach out directly.

Michael Andreuzza · Answer

I get too much spam asking me to test aps andso on. Removing it on 2022

Kavya · Answer

Just to be available to people if they ever want to contact me. I don't have thousands of followers so I'm not worried about getting overwhelmed with DMs 😉

What about you?

Sagar · Answer

It is always nice to connect with smart people. Now the only friends I have are the ones I met through Twitter DMs.

John Torjo · Answer

Probably all of the above 😁

Victor David · Answer

For me there's no reason to close off DMs on Twitter. I'm new and happy to connect with other people if they like.

Twitter > LinkedIn. I didn't really use Twitter until last year! It has been an incredible tool for networking and even job haunting! DMs are the best way to connect with people! So why not? I usually have my DMs open on all platforms. I'm glad that bigger angels and VCs have their DMs open!

Ira GI · Answer

It's a way to reach more people, get more responses. Twitter is a web that grows by the minute.

Victor Metelskiy · Answer

Because i don't receive too much spam there (yet).

Victor · Answer

@vahramantonyan I agree with you. Thanks to the DMs, I bring advice to those who want it and I receive a lot of it.

Victor · Answer

@k_j1 I like to give advice to people who ask me. And it allows me to receive some too.

And then to connect with people I would never have met in real life

Victor · Answer

@michael_andreuzza I delete these messages directly, it's irritating.
