5 Ways To Improve Your Twitter Account

Twitter is a fantastic tool for networking, learning, and connecting. Here are five simple tips to make the most of your Twitter account:

 

  • Use as many of the 160 characters as possible in your bio profile. Twitter accounts rank high on Google and your bio will show up in search results. Make it count!
  • Customize your Twitter profile background and avatar with a custom photo or graphic. It’s easy and personalizes your page.
  • Save the dinner updates for your friends on Facebook. Twitter users want useful content such as links to articles, tips, and discounts.
  • Include links to your Twitter account on your non-Twitter web content (blog, FB, LinkedIn, website, etc). Make it easy to follow you.
  • Try out a Twitter application for more versatility. TweetDeck and Seesmic are two popular applications, but there are plenty of others.

    Twitter is a powerful service. Use these tips to help make it more useful for you.
