Step 4:
- Create a Username.
- If you are using this twitter account for brand management for your business, I’d recommend using your domain name minus the dot com/net/etc. (ie. http://twitter.com/mollermarketing) If it’s just for fun or personal use, use whatever you want as the username.
- Add your email address, personal or business.
- Type in the security code then click “I accept, Create my Account” (if you want, you can read the Terms of Service too).
Step 4:
- Start connecting!
- As you can see by the picture below, Twitter asks for your email information. They state very clearly that they don’t use or share your information anywhere:
- We don’t store your login, your password is submitted securely, and we don’t email without your permission.

- Darren Rowse from TwiTip.com has this to say:
- Being successful at something is very hard if you don’t know what you want to achieve. It’s much easier to hit your target…. if you know what it is.
- The easiest way to get started with Twitter is by interacting with people you already know – aka: use your email list and see who’s already using Twitter.
- The best thing about this is, if you have friends that have a lot of experience “tweeting”, they can give you tips, tricks, and even connections that will help you grow your reputation on Twitter.
