Guide to Create a Twitter Account

Setting up a twitter account is very simple and easy

• Then, type your phone number or email address in the first text box provided on that page.

• Type the password you want to use for Twitter in the second box.

• Click or tap the Get started button.

• Type your full name in the new text box that shows up below your password.

You can also tailor Twitter to your interests (based on your recent website visits). If you don’t want this, uncheck the box on the sign up page.

 See this for more info on what this entails.

• Once you are done click or tap the Sign Up button when done.

• If you didn’t do it already, you’ll now be asked to enter your phone number, but you can use the Skip link at the bottom of that page if you want to avoid connecting your phone number to your Twitter account. You can always do this later.

• Select a username on the next page by typing one in the text box or clicking a suggested one based off your name and email address. You can always change it later if you want, or you can skip this step with the Skip link and fill in your username later.

At this point, you can go to Twitter’s homepage to get to your account or you can continue through with setup.

• Hit the Let’s go! button to tell Twitter your interests, which will help recommend Twitter users you should follow.

• Choose the Continue button to have the option to import your Gmail or Outlook contacts, which Twitter can use to recommend followers that you know. If you don’t want to do that, click the ​No thanks link.

• Select the users you want to follow from Twitter’s recommendations, or use the button on the top of the page to quickly follow all of them. You can also uncheck the ones you don’t want to follow (you can uncheck all of them if you wish). Use the blue button at the top right of that page to go on to the next step.

• You might be given the option to turn on notifications so you’re alerted when new messages come into your account. You can enable this or select Not now to decide later.

• You’re all done! The next page is your timeline, where you can start using Twitter.

Note: before you start following and tweeting, it’s a good idea to finish setting up your profile so that it looks compelling enough for people to follow you back.

However, you can add a profile photo, header photo, short bio, location, website, and your birthday. You can also customize the theme color of your profile.
