Stepping into the Twitter stream unprepared can leave you feeling rudderless. Who to follow? What to tweet? Does this show up on my Twitter page? Am I missing things my friends post? What's an RT? Follow our tips to get started on Twitter, and set yourself up for a more fulfilling experience. Step 1: Go to Twitter. The "Full name" that you provide will be your display name, but unlike Facebook, you can change your display name to whatever you want as many times as you want, so it's really easy to stay anonymous if you so choose.
Step 2: Enter in your phone number. This is a form of authentication that will help in case you ever lose access to your account. You'll want to use a phone you actually have access to because the next step will ask you to verify a number sent via text.
Step 3: Pick a password, and make it secure! You don't need a troll getting a hold of your account and dismantling the reputation you've worked so hard to build. Step 4: Choose your interests. This will help with the next step, which is where Twitter will give you suggestions of people you can follow. You can also skip both of these by saying "skip for now" in the top right hand corner.
That will be your username, or handle, and people can notify you by typing in front of your username in a tweet. Choose something you like that you think isn't taken, but also something easy to remember for others. Step 6: Pick an avatar. The default picture is a silhouette, but you can make your avatar whatever you want your face, a dog on a skateboard, the possibilities are endless. Just click the silhouette and head to "Profile" and then click "Edit Profile" on the right underneath the blue bar.
You can update your header photo from this place, too. Be sure to read Twitter's rules for avatar images to make sure what you pick is not in violation. Step 7: Write your bio. You may wish to list where you work, live, or a line from a favorite poem in your bio. This is the short blurb that lets potential followers know who you are and what you're likely to tweet. There is also a handy spot to list your website, if you have one.
Make sure to use your real one as the next step will ask you to verify. Step 2: Enter in the verification number that you received at whatever contact information you put in in Step 1. Choose a password. Make it strong, and please, for the love of god, don't use "dragon" like everyone else. Step 3: Choose whether you'd like to sync your contacts. This may help you find Twitter followers you know, but if you don't want to, just hit "not now.
Step 4: Search for interests. This will help Twitter recommend good profiles for you to follow. Step 5: Twitter will provide you with some accounts you can follow based on your interests. Pick out a few you like. If you see them to start you feed off on the right foot. Step 6: You're in!
Simply click on the blue button on the top right to tweet, the grey silhouette on the top left to change your profile picture and settings, and get tweeting!
Twitter isn't about friending—it's about following. You can follow people you know personally, or artists or projects you're a fan of. You can follow robots and parody accounts. Really, you can do whatever you like. Step 1: You may already be following some people if you selected some during your account set up. Step 2: You can also search in the top right hand box for personalities you like.
Step 3: Twitter will continue to offer suggestions for who to follow as you use it. These suggestions will appear in your feed if you're using the app, or on the side of the screen if you're using the website. Step 4: If you're in the mobile app, you can also click on the Connect feature , which will offer you suggestions based on what you've tweeted or liked.
Step 5: Keep adding people. There's no limit, but once you've landed between and accounts, you'll notice the correlation between the number of people you follow and the amount of tweets that show up in your feed. If you're craving more, keep adding people. But build it up slowly and see how it feels. Before you start firing off tweets, it might help to know a little about the mechanics. Step 1: All tweets are a maximum of characters. While that might seem too short to say anything substantive, it's not.
It might mean having to tweet multiple times to make a complex point in the Twittersphere, we call that a thread , but boiling down your thoughts to a couple of lines really just makes your statement stronger, faster to read, and more shareable. Step 2: Speaking of a Twitter thread, if you have more than characters to say about a subject they are easy to make.
