Let’s get started with Twitter! The first thing you’ll
need to do is get signed up for an account!
Before signing up, decide whether you want a
personal or a business Twitter account. Both are
good for a company to have, but each serves
different purposes.
Company account:
Represents the company as a whole. Use this
type of account to - Keep your customer base up to date on your
events
- Promote recent blog articles or news
- Update your consumers about products/
services
- Give real-time updates at conferences and
events
- Offer customer service and support
Personal account:
Used by an individual employee at the company.
This account type is more personalized, can be
used to talk about non-company related things
and is better for direct relationship building. Use
this type of account to:
- Act as a liaison to the public for your company
- Update people on what you’re working on
- Share tidbits about your personality
- Expand your company’s network and make
connections
To get your own account, go to http://twitter.com

Your username is very important. This name will
be how people refer to you on Twitter and
potentially how people will acknowledge you if
you ever meet any of your Twitter followers
offline. Think of your username as your personal
brand name. That’s how important it is.
Ideas for Twitter Usernames:
1. Your full name (JamesDean)
