After you have registered, you will be prompted to choose a nickname and select your interests. Then you will be sent a verification code. Enter the code into the box to confirm the information. You will then be directed to the page where you will need to confirm your email address or phone number. Once you have verified your details, you can then begin using your Twitter account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_up_for_Twitter\"><\/span>Sign up for Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You will need to set up a Twitter account. You&#8217;ll want to choose a username and select an interests category. This will help Twitter suggest you to follow other users who share your interests. To make your Twitter account more useful, choose interests related to your business. You&#8217;ll be notified of tweets from people you follow, as well. After you&#8217;ve set up your account, you&#8217;ll want to select your topics and interests.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_a_profile_picture\"><\/span>Add a profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When opening a Twitter account, you should always add a profile picture. The profile picture will be visible in several areas of the social networking site. Images must be in the GIF or JPEG format; animated GIFs are not supported. If your image format is not supported by Twitter, you can convert it to the correct format. The following guide will explain how to crop an image for use on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_interests\"><\/span>Select interests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When opening a Twitter account, it is important to select interests, otherwise, the site will suggest users you might like to follow. If you are looking to follow people in your industry, make sure to select interests related to your business. Once you have chosen interests, you can start searching for people in those fields. If you are not interested in following people in a particular industry, you can skip these steps and move on to the next step.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_a_bio\"><\/span>Add a bio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it may be tempting to use a general identifier like &#8220;writer&#8221; or &#8220;singer&#8221; to describe yourself, these are not good choices because they don&#8217;t provide any context about you or your brand. Avoid using legalese or disclaimers and stick to catchy phrases and emojis. If you&#8217;re unsure of what to write, follow these tips:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tweet\"><\/span>Tweet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have an email address, you can sign up for Twitter by visiting their website. You&#8217;ll be asked to enter a security code that you receive by phone or email. The verification code must be at least eight characters long. Once you&#8217;ve verified your email and phone number, you can upload your profile picture and bio. You&#8217;ll also have to confirm your name, email address, and birth date. After you&#8217;ve confirmed your account, you can begin following people and sharing your thoughts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_thread_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Create a thread on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When opening an account on Twitter, you should make sure to create a thread. A thread is a series of tweets that share common interests and a common theme. Rather than simply writing plain text, you should use different kinds of media to keep your audience engaged. Don&#8217;t forget to use hashtags to make your thread discoverable. The more popular your niche, the more successful your thread will be.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_user_name\"><\/span>Change your user name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to change your Twitter username is to log in to your account, and then go to Settings and privacy. Here you will see a section for Username. Enter the username you want to change and click OK. Your user name should not be more than 15 characters long. Most people use the mobile apps to access Twitter, so changing your handle on your mobile device is simple. Simply go to your profile picture and tap on settings. After you have done this, you can begin tweeting with your new handle.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"375\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QJAibLM_FO0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Open a Twitter Account To open a Twitter account, you will first need to sign up.
