This article covers the basics of creating an account, adding an email address, and syncing your account with other social networks. This will allow you to tweet consistently and start getting followers. To make the most of Twitter, you need to learn how to set up a Twitter account for your business. It also includes tips on how to run a successful contest to increase followers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_professional_profile\"><\/span>Create a professional profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you want to promote your business on Twitter, one of the best ways is to create a professional profile. There are two main types of professional profiles: creator and business. While a business account is ideal for brands, retail shops, service providers, and organizations, the creator account is better suited for artists, public figures, and influencers. Twitter also has a mobile app for both iOS and Android devices, and allows you to update your profile from the go.<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure you have a photo for your Twitter profile. A good way to establish a brand presence on Twitter is to upload a photo of your logo. You can use a simple photo or even a picture of your business&#8217; logo, but keep in mind that the recommended dimensions might change. Your photo should reflect your brand&#8217;s brand identity, but should not conflict with your profile image. Make sure your header is visible and easy to read. You can change the background and header on Twitter by clicking on the settings wheel and editing your profile. Make sure you save all changes before you continue.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_an_email_address\"><\/span>Add an email address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can begin using Twitter, you should choose a username and choose an email address. You can change the username later, if you wish. If you haven&#8217;t already selected a username, Twitter will suggest one for you. Be sure to select a name that is easily associated with you or your brand. Lastly, you should double-check all of the details of your account before signing in. You may be required to complete a Captcha to validate your account.<\/p>\n<p>When setting up a Twitter account, you must first enter your name, phone number, email address, and date of birth. You will also need to enter a password and a username. When selecting a username, keep in mind that Twitter posts notifications if the password isn&#8217;t long enough or is already taken. In that case, you may want to try another username. You can also choose a suggested username at the bottom of the page. Click on this option to complete your profile. Once you&#8217;re done, you&#8217;ll need to confirm your email address and click the verification link to access your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sync_your_account_with_other_social_networks\"><\/span>Sync your account with other social networks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to share the same information on different social media platforms, you should synchronize your Twitter account with other social networks. If you post the same information on multiple sites, it can annoy friends that follow you on both sites. Redundancy may speak to your lack of awareness of different audiences and could lead them to stop following you. This is where the syncing tools come in handy. They will help you manage your entire network from one central dashboard, but will still allow you to post individual messages.<\/p>\n<p>The first benefit of syncing your social networks is time-saving. For example, you won&#8217;t have to copy and paste your LinkedIn status update if you&#8217;ve already written it on Twitter. Likewise, your Facebook status will not be viewed by your Twitter audience, but your LinkedIn status update will be viewed by many more people. This way, you can make updates to all your social networks in one go, which means less upkeep for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tweet_at_a_consistent_pace\"><\/span>Tweet at a consistent pace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is important to tweet at a consistent pace when setting up o your Twitter account. You want to build relationships with your followers, so it is crucial to share content that adds value and appeals to your audience. Follow the 80\/20 rule &#8211; share 80% of your posts with content from others and 20% with original content. People are looking for information from several sources, so citing external content is natural and expected.<\/p>\n<p>The speed of your tweets is also important. People look forward to your tweets, so make sure to post content regularly. You can share a recent article or piece of content that is related to your business. Keep in mind, though, that a lot of people may get overwhelmed and lose interest. Besides, your Tweets should be attention-grabbing and provide value. Tweeting often is important for both lead generation and branding, but be careful not to overwhelm your followers with too much information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Block_trolling\"><\/span>Block trolling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it is possible to manually mute every troll and unfollow every problematic word, it is impossible to prevent all trolls from posting. Additionally, a Twitter account&#8217;s blocklist can change without notice, so even if you manually delete every troll&#8217;s tweet, it is possible that you will still receive notifications from them. If you don&#8217;t want to deal with their harassment, you can turn on the privacy feature, which will mute their notifications.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to block trolling is to respond to their tweets with kindness. A great example of this is a story posted on the Funny Side of Tumblr. A young person was attacked by an angry mother for exploring their gender identity. The user responded with kindness, and connected with the angry mother, proving that her aggressiveness came from fear rather than confusion. The troll then moved on to another account related to yours, which was unlikely to result in further trolling.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"283\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_L9e_mJf-hA\" width=\"507\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Set Up a Twitter Account For Your Business If you are wondering how to set up a Twitter account, you may not have all the necessary information.
