So let‘s get started with Twitter! The first thing you‘ll
need to do is get signed up for an account!

To get your own account, go to http://twitter.com and
click the ―Sign Up‖ button.

Clicking this button will bring you to a page where you will
select your username and password.
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)
2. A variation of your name (JDean)
3. A combination of your name and your company
(CompanyJane)

After you choose your username and click

your profile – and start tweeting – before you
start following people.
