If you&#8217;re not sure how to set up your account, read on to learn how to edit your twitter background and add a bio. In addition, this article will teach you how to verify your account, so you can share the latest updates and posts. We&#8217;ll also go over how to block unwanted tweets from other users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_up_a_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Setting up a Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve decided to use Twitter for business purposes, the first step is to create an account. Create a Twitter account by entering your email address. If your email address is not already verified, you&#8217;ll need to do so before the account is visible. Also, make sure your name and bio are professional, as well as contain at least one keyword. Once you&#8217;ve completed these steps, you can begin following other Twitter users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_bio\"><\/span>Adding a bio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most common mistakes made by Twitter users is using boring and generic words in their bio. Instead of putting your most valuable assets in the bio, focus on what makes you different and stand out from the crowd. For example, a juice maker&#8217;s bio might contain only 12 words, but it conveys the brand&#8217;s USP and urges consumers to buy their products. To create a compelling bio, brainstorm ideas and choose words and language carefully. Also, research your competitors and see what kinds of content they are using. Using this information, you can make use of tools like Statusbrew, which gives you detailed Twitter analytics and a customizable widget.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_your_twitter_background\"><\/span>Editing your twitter background<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter has several ways to edit your background. While pre-made Twitter backgrounds are available, you can easily create your own. You can either tile your image or leave the &#8220;Tile&#8221; box unchecked. The colors and layout of your Twitter background can be changed as well. Once you&#8217;ve made the changes, you can save your work. In the next section, we&#8217;ll show you how to change the background. Follow these steps to create your own Twitter background.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verifying_your_account\"><\/span>Verifying your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve accumulated a significant number of followers on Twitter, you can request to have your account verified. To qualify, you must have a verified email address and phone number, as well as an acceptable username. Verification requests are processed manually. If you have not been approved for verification after three months, you can resubmit your request within thirty days. You must have an account that&#8217;s associated with a recognized brand or individual.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_lists\"><\/span>Using lists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several different ways to use lists on Twitter, and each one is useful in different ways. Some lists are private, meaning they&#8217;re only visible to the person who created them. Other lists are public, meaning that everyone can view them. Regardless of which type of list you choose, you&#8217;ll want to use it to its fullest potential. Listed below are the main uses of lists on Twitter. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Direct_messaging\"><\/span>Direct messaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can send URLs to others through Twitter&#8217;s Direct Message feature. The feature was initially discontinued due to spam. DMs are sent to other users through mobile or desktop and through community management platforms like TweetDeck. You can also use the DM feature to link to other web content, like blogs. Using the Twitter Direct Message feature is very simple. Follow the instructions below to send a link to another user. Once you&#8217;ve sent a link, the recipient will see it in their stream of conversations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Searching_for_tweets\"><\/span>Searching for tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to find answers to specific questions, such as those involving the iPhone, you can search for tweets on Twitter. Twitter&#8217;s advanced search allows you to narrow your search to tweets with links or replies. To use this feature, toggle the options &#8220;replies&#8221; and &#8220;links&#8221; or choose only specific types of Tweets. For example, you can filter your search to show tweets from users you follow. The more likes a tweet has, the higher its quality.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"374\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3-2Xomw92TQ\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"209\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Edit Your Background and Add a Bio on Twitter If you&#8217;re having trouble deciding what to post on Twitter, there are a few steps you can take to improve your experience.
