HOW TO SET UP A TWITTER ACCOUNT

1. Go to: http://twitter.com

2. Click the big yellow, “SIGN UP” button on right

3. Enter the information as asked:

Full Name: Your full, legal name

User Name: The name you want others to find when searching for you

[Example: John_C_Smith_Sales_Director]

Use underscore (_) marks for better chance at available name

Password: The longer, the better. Add numbers to make it more secure

Email: Enter the email address you want to be contacted through

4. Opt-In Boxes – There are two opt-in boxes on this page. Both are already checked

and will activate unless you uncheck them (click on them to do this). The first opt-in

box allows others to find you via your email address and the second one allows

Twitter to send periodic announcements to you.

5. It may take a couple of tries to get all of the account information accepted for

you to create your new account. Any duplication of information with other existing

Twitter accounts will reject your entry. Keep trying – there are many creative

solutions to securing your Twitter account.

6. When all of the information is approved, click the, “CREATE MY ACCOUNT” button.

7. INTERESTS – This page allows you to select which interests you would like to follow

with your account. The more of these you follow, the more tweets you will receive

from others with similar interests. For a business-only Twitter account, you may

wish to only follow business related interests.

8. FRIENDS – Again, if this is just a business-only account for you, you may wish to keep

this list filled with only business contacts. Several icons of sources for searches appear

here (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), all of which may offer access for you to build your friends list.

9. A Confirmation Email will be sent to the email address you entered for this new account.

Go to your email and follow the instructions to activate your new Twitter account and

you’re ready to begin!

10. You may go to Youtube.com for further detailed instructional videos on how to

set up your digital device for your new account.
