Guide To Twitter For Beginners
It certainly was challenging to create this guide to Twitter for beginners
. This is due to the fact that there are so many changes happening on Twitter every day that it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with them.However, when you remove all the unnecessary stuff that make Twitter complicated than what it is, then explaining Twitter to beginners is actually fairly easy. This article will cover the very basics that every beginner needs to know to quickly get started on Twitter.
How To Sign Up
Before signing up, you need to have an email address. If you dont, you can get a free one from places such as Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo. Now that you have an email address, go to Twitter.com and click on the green Sign Up Now button. Enter your full name (you can choose to not use your real name), enter a unique username as well as a password and your email. Once youve done that, type in the characters to verify your humanness and then click on Create My Account.
Click on Skip on the next couple of pages until you arrive at the home page of your account.
How To Find People
There are 2 ways to find people: by name or by keyword.
If you want to find people by name, click on Find People at the top of the page and then type in the name of the person you are searching for. You should then be shown at list of results, one of which may be the person you are searching for.
If you want to find people by keyword, stay on your home page, and use the search function on the right hand side bar. If you want to find someone who shares your interests, type in that keyword and a list of latest people who have used that keyword in their tweets will come up. Theres a good chance that if they used that keyword, that they are interested in that topic.
How To Follow
Once you found someone youve been looking for or shares your interest, you may want to follow them so that you can follow their tweets.
If you want to do this, simply click on their username and you will be directed to their page. Then click on the follow button underneath their profile picture. You should get notified that youre following them. Its that simple.
How To Get Followers
The best and only way to increase your influence on Twitter is by accumulating followers. In Twitter, there is something that is called Twitter etiquette. This means that if you someone chooses to follow you, that you should do the same and follow them back. Of course, following them back is optional, but more often than not, they will repay the favor. So the lesson from all this is that if you want to increase your followers, you have to go out there and follow people first. At the same time, dont forget to follow people that follow you first.
How To Enhance The Twitter Experience
After completing the above steps, you will find that Twitter is simple to use. You might even think that it is too simple and has no real purpose. Twitter only becomes useful and fascinating once you start to embrace applications. There are literally thousands of these out there for many different purposes. There are applications to use Twitter on your phone, to schedule your tweets, to use feeds on your account etc. Just do a search for twitter apps and you will find heaps.
However, do not use too many apps at the same time because instead of enhancing the Twitter experience, it can make it more confusing and put you off. The KISS principle of keeping things stupid really does apply to Twitter especially to beginners.
