Hey welcome back in this video of Twitter tycoon, I'm going to talk to you about ways to increase your follower base from the start when you create your Twitter account. So the first thing you're going to do is pick an account name. Now remember, the shorter the better for your account name. The shorter it is, the more memorable it is. This counts when others want to mention you reply or retweet you. Long usernames may take up too much of the 140 characters allotted to you and Twitter and choose what makes sense.
Okay, make sure it's pronounceable, easily recognizable. Avoid numbers, avoid hyphens, avoid anything that complicates your account name. And then remember, you can always change your username at any time. You also want to upload a profile picture Okay, if you're using your face crop to show only your face, if you're using a logo, keep it simple and lean towards bright colors over muted ones. Okay, it needs to stand out and then don't constantly change your picture it will confuse your followers. Also, if you need to change It, let everyone know, turn it into a retweet opportunity.
And then don't leave it set to default because it's ugly and it doesn't work. Then you want to write your Twitter bio. Okay, so for your location, if you're targeting a local area, include it in the location field. To help decide the relevance of people searching Twitter by location, if you're not location based and leave it blank. You're also going to include your official website, the website that you want your followers to look at once they've looked at your bio. Okay, this does not count against the 160 characters if your bio, avoid using shortened URLs for this one, so for this one, I would make sure you're going right to your website.
Okay, so have the professional domain, spend the $10 a year for the domain and create a website and get your hosting and all that setup. Really simple to do. But just make sure for this purpose for your profile, and your bio, you want your official website here and then for your biotech, Extra, make sure to keep it short. Use this as an opportunity to mention your credentials, accomplishments, etc. Don't be afraid to brag here Okay, this is what this part's for. Twitter accounts using the words guru or official tend to have more followers and then your first 20 tweets, okay?
