Twitter Account Setting Considerations

When you first sign up for Twitter you may become overwhelmed by the number of different things to do and see at the website. Before you get too overwhelmed, though, you should consider setting up your account settings. This information is mostly basic information but for someone who will be using Twitter as a way of building an Internet marketing business or a strong social media following, these details are important parts of your success. It only takes a few minutes to make a few unique changes that could make a big difference on your success.

Here is a rundown of a few of the aspects of Twitter that you may not know about that could affect your ability to grow a following.

Navigate to the “Settings” link, which is located in the top, right hand corner of your home page. There, you will have the Account tab open for you, once you click on it.

Your name: It is safe to use your real name on Twitter, especially under your Name section. It is important for those people to find you that you may know.
Username: IS there any importance if your Twitter username? Some use their real name so that people who know them will be able to find them. Others use a name they have become known as online. It is up to you but whenever possible, be sure it relates to your business in some way (assuming you are using Twitter for business.)
Email: Your email address does need to be seen by everyone. It may not be your wishes to allow everyone to see it.
Your URL: This will be displayed on your Twitter homepage so it is important that you actually provide information here. This will help you to ensure that those who are able to communicate with you can do so. Let us say that you are in Internet marketing. Listing your URL here is critical to others finding you.
One Line Bio: You have just a few details here to provide so make sure it counts. People can use these tools to search for you online or to search for people with similar interests to them.

At the bottom of the page is a box you can check if you wish to protect your messages and keep others from seeing your updates. This is an option you can choose if you would like to.
