How To Setup a Twitter Account [Video]

Like Facebook everyone has probably heard of Twitter but may not understand it as well. In this session we will show you how to setup a Twitter account and how to start putting it to good use.

How To Setup Twitter

  1. Go to Twitter.com
  2. Click on “Sign Up” button
  3. Enter your “Full name” First and Last Name or Company Name. This name will appear on your public profile.
  4. Enter a unique “Username”. This will appear in your public profile URL: http://twitter.com/USERNAME. You want to take care here to optimize this for branding with creative use of capitalization. I would if at all possible avoid using underscores in a Twitter name but if there is no other way to get what you want then you to. I had to do this @kenneth_jackson.
  5. Enter a Password
  6. Enter your Email Address
  7. You now are presented with the option to allow or disallow Twitter users to find you by your email address. If you are doing this for promotional purposes I would leave this box checked.
  8. Check out the terms of service
  9. Click on “Create my account” button
  10. The last option is whether or not you want to receive the information emails from Twitter.

Don’t follow a whole lot of people from the start as you will probably just confuse yourself and quit using it.

To get up and running right a way, find and follow Connections Digital Media and The Team Leaders by using either the “Find People” function in Twitter or just use the links at the bottom of this page.

Find People

  1. Click on “Find People”
  2. Click on Connections Digital Media or Kenneth Jackson
  3. Click the follow button
  4. Pick a couple
  5. You will now get our messages

To message some one directly simply ad the @ symbol to the front of their twitter name like @connectionsis and a direct message will be sent to your Twitter Friend.

Hash Tags

Hash Tags are the mysterious “#” in tweets followed by a few characters. What do they mean? Hash Tags are the Twitter communities way of tying a tweet to an event marking certain keywords searchable to help people find tweets about a specific topic or event.
