Twitter has been around for a lifetime (in Internet terms anyway…) but if you’re a brand new business or have never used the social website and app before you might be wondering where to start.

With this short guide we’ll get you set-up with a brand new Twitter account for business.

To begin, visit Twitter.com and click on the “Sign Up” button.

The next step is to fill in your business name, email address and password. You can then skip the mobile phone stage, if you want, and head straight to the next section where you will pick your username. Make this your business name or something closely related.

Next, work through the various Twitter set-up stages where they ask about your Interests and other identifiers. You now have a fully fledged Twitter account for your business and you will be greeted with a screen similar to below. 

After that click “Edit Profile”, available via the drop-down menu on the upper right-hand side of the screen, at any time to edit your profile in any way. 

Remember to include your location, a short descriptive biography about your business, a link to your website and a great profile and cover photo!

Good luck tweeting!
