3 Simple Steps To Creating A Powerful Twitter
Profile That Gets You More Followers
www.buildingsocialproof.com
Are you just getting started out with Twitter
and want to know how to create a profile that
people REALLY want to follow?
Well there are a few pitfalls to avoid.
Follow these 3 simple steps
and you will be well on your way to having a
Twitter profile
that your clients and customers will love to
follow.
To get started just head on over to Twitter.com
and sign up for a free twitter account if you do
not already have one.
Twitter is designed to be very quick by its nature
so setting up a new account should only take
you a few minutes.
When you pick your username
(your twitter handle)
try to pick something that relates to your industry or
your company name.
For Buildingsocialproof.com I picked @buildingsocial.
The very next thing to do is pick a custom Twitter
background.
If you are not good with graphics you can create a Twitter background here:

You want a custom background for your
Twitter profile.
One that shows what you do.
For example:
If your company sells golf equipment
then you would want a Twitter background of
something related to golf.
Maybe a nice golf course would do.
Just make sure that you do not use the default Twitter background.
When you are getting started you will not have
any followers.
People will think your account looks spammy
if it just has the default Twitter background.
You need to change it to anything but the default
background image.
More people will follow you because of it.
Background Image Size: 1500px x 500px
When you are first getting started with Twitter
set up a profile image of yourself.
People want to follow other people on Twitter.
Not a faceless brand or logo.
Down the road after you have thousands of Twitter
followers
you can change it if you want.
But for now just pick a nice picture of your
yourself
and use it for the Twitter profile image.
Some people recommend using your company logo
as a profile picture.
I have found that you will simply get a lot less
engagement and followers if you do this.
Using a profile picture of yourself will get you much faster results.
The recommended size for your profile picture is:
400px X 400px
Here is an example profile picture
that I use for the @Buildingsocial Twitter
account.
Now that you have a custom background
image
and your own picture as your profile image
you are almost all set.
The only left to do is write a compelling description
about your business.
Think about the kind of people you want to attract
on Twitter.
In our golf equipment example you might want to write something like
"Check out the latest news in the Golf industry and get the latest golfing
tips"
Include your website URL since people will look you
up
and come to your site right from your Twitter
profile.
That's all there is to it.
Just follow these 3 steps
and you will have a Twitter profile
that gets you more followers, retweets, and
engagement.
