Basics of Twitter

So, hopefully you've signed up for a free account at Twitter. If not then just check out mine... tmcmarketing. ...Kay, enough of that just get your own already and follow me (yes, of course I'll follow you back too). Don't be shy about poking around although the platform is super simple there's a lot more help there if you do require it.

Be sure to set up your profile. That's important as its like a first impression and your front end voice for this particular marketing vehicle. Just go to the 'Design' tab, no need to get fancy but it doesn't hurt to change up the colours a bit to match your site or logo.

With your one line bio you are limited to 160 text characters when writing so choose your words carefully. Also display the address or URL to your own website so your followers can have instant access to more information about 'you'. It truly isn't complicated just remember you may want to restrict your personal information or not, depending upon your reason for twittering.

Try not to go crazy following everyone and their dog. Not only will they cap you but you probably won't have chosen candidates even close to your target audience.
