How to Create a Killer Twitter business profile.

-









Establish your Twitter presence
Your profile shows the world who you are, and first impressions count. Every element should showcase your best content and accurately reflect your business identity.
Here’s an overview of the five different parts of a Twitter profile and some best practices to keep in mind as you build your business’ home on Twitter.

1.    Your Twitter @username 
Your username, also known as your handle, is your unique identifier on Twitter. It can contain up to 15 characters and should help people easily find your business. Your name appears on top of your username. They can be the same — but they don’t have to be.
2.    Your profile photo 

 
Choose a profile photo that visually represents your business or brand and fits well in a small space. This image isn’t just on your profile page; it will be shown as the icon in every Tweet you post.
3.    Your bio 
You have 160 characters to let people know what makes your business special, and why they should follow you. Include useful information, such as your location or business hours, and a link to your website. Use a unique link, so you can track visitors to your site from Twitter.
4.    Your header image 
Consider this a billboard for your business. You can feature products, use a graphic with text, or highlight your employees. Swap out this image periodically to spotlight promotions, events, or product news.
5.    Your pinned Tweet
Keep an important Tweet at the top of your timeline by pinning it there. Click on the “more” option on the Tweet you want to pin and select “Pin to your profile page.” Use this feature to make sure visitors to your profile can’t miss your latest news, products, offerings, or events.
Twitter profile specifications
  • The recommended image size for your profile pic is 400x400 pixels; the image will be resized to fit.
  • The recommended size for a Twitter header image is 1500x500 pixels. On mobile, it’ll be cropped to a 2:1 aspect ratio.
  • Use a GIF or PNG file for vector-based and line art images.
  • For photos, upload a JPG or PNG file.
Is your profile up to date and following the best twitter practices? Create a tweet and tell the world that you now know how to use twitter and you are ready to meet others around the world.
