Go to Twitter.com, click “Get Started” and choose your username.
Select your username
Add a picture to your profile. A picture is one thousand words.
Include key nouns that describe your interest, who you are, and a link to a page where followers have chance to learn more about you.
Don’t protect your updates. Twitter works best when you are open and transparent.
Click “devices” in your settings and follow the instructions, so you can update and/or receive direct messages on your cell phone. Check to see whether you can use Twitter in your phone’s browser (I can on my iPhone and my BlackBerry). If you can, you might have options. You should make sure you can use Twitter on your phone. Twitter was developed for sharing of text messages and if you don’t use it on a mobile device, you aren’t getting the full Twitter experience.
Click “notices” and select if you want to receive emails when someone starts following you (you can decide whether to follow them back) and when you receive a direct message (you will want to respond promptly to most).
