Here’s a new free report on setting up your Twitter account…Part 1

What is Twitter? Well, where have you been.. LOL?  Twitter would
have to be the fastest growing site on the web today.  It is
taking the internet by storm and there are around 10,000 new
users per day signing up to participate in this internet
revolution.

Twitter is best described as a micro blogging platform.  You are
limited to 140 characters each time you do an update, which
initially, may seem a small amount.  However, as you become more
experienced, it’s just amazing what you can fit into 140 characters.

That said, Twitter is much, much more than that.  It is like one
huge global chat room, but then again, it doesn’t have to be.
It all depends on how many people you follow on Twitter.  If it’s
in the thousands, then your “Tweetstream” will be running fast and
furious with everything that’s coming in.  If you are only following
a few hundred, or even less, then things are much easier to keep
up with.

Twitter is also a great way to meet new people online, particularly
those with similar interests to you.  I will show you how to do this
more as we progress thorugh this report.

How To Set Up Your Twitter Account

Setting up on Twitter to have your own account is easy, but there
are a few things that you should be aware of when organizing your
account.  This can apply even if you already have an existing account
too, so consider these tips and it can improve your entire Twittter
experience.

The first thing to do if you don’t have an account is go to
http://www.twitter.com which is the home page of Twitter.  You will
be asked to either login or register. If you don’t have an account,
then of course you will need to register.  So let’s go through the
registration process and explain it all here.

Registration

The Twitter screen will ask you for your first name and last name
and will then check this is entered correctly.  A green tick will
appear next to the box.

The next box asks you for a user name and this is where you need to
give some thought to how you are going to represent yourself on
Twitter.

You should remember that you can set up more than one account on
Twitter, but you will need a different email address for each one.

Now this is where the thinking bit comes in.  The first account you
register should always be in your own name if you can get it.
Naturally, common names like JohnSmith (there are no spaces in
usernames) will already be taken.  However it is possible to get
variations on your own name such as John_Smith, or John_Smith23 or
some variation like that.  You can only use an underscore in a
username. Hyphens are not permitted in the field.

It isn’t absolutely critical that you register your own name, but
I would advise you do if you can, particularly if your name is an
unusual one.  I’m sure the last thing you want is someone else
impersonating you on Twitter, or anywhere else for that matter.

If you wish to register a business name, then you can do that of
course, but make your you use your own name in the sign up process
so you are identifiable and connected with the business name you
register.  The concepts and reasons for operating under each type
of registration will be discussed later.

You are now asked for your email address. Email addresses are linked
to accounts and you will only be able to use your email address once.
For every account you register, you will need a different email
address.

The last thing to do is to fill in the Captcha letters and then click
on Create My Account. The next screen will ask if you want to add any
of your friends from the popular web based email programs.

You can do this later if you wish.

The next screen presents a short list of people who Twitter asks if
you would like to follow. Choose some if you like, but I wouldn’t
bother. I prefer to find my own friends on Twitter.

When you click Finish, you will then be taken to your very own
Twitter account.  You are logged in and ready to go!
