Tell Your Story

Create a profile that consists of your name, your location, and a short bio.

Provide an interesting statement about yourself.

If you want to connect to your peers or talk shop with your community, include the kind of work you do.

If you are concerned about your personal safety, list only your first name, or give a generalized geography.

If you have a blog or a website, link to that.

Twitter

Customize your Twitter background.

Learn how to send a reply to a specific user.

If you are engaging another Twitter user in a private conversation, switch to direct messages.

If you want to win friends and keep followers, think a little outside the box.

Talk about something interesting.

Take the risk to say things that are honest and true.

If you really want to connect with a Twitter user, take a couple minutes to review his/her profile.

Introduction

Follow this simple Twitter checklist for a successful account launch:

Don't forget that this Twitter checklist is simply a guideline. You should save it to your account and then customize it by adding or removing tasks.
Try to post a little every day rather than a lot one time.
This checklist should be used in combination with a larger marketing plan. Use our Web Marketing Checklist

This Twitter Checklist is for teams that want consistent execution, less rework, and clear ownership.

Standardize quality - run the same Twitter steps every time, regardless of who executes
Save time - reuse a proven Twitter workflow instead of rebuilding processes from scratch
Improve accountability - assign owners and see what's done vs. what's pending
Onboard faster - use the Twitter checklist as the SOP and training guide
Coordinate across roles - handoffs are clear and everyone works from the same source of truth

How to use this Twitter Checklist:

Start by saving it - save as a Template if you'll reuse it, or as a Checklist if it's a one-off project.
Customize it once for your workflow - remove what doesn't apply and add your team-specific steps.
Assign ownership and execute - set owners/due dates where needed and track completion as work happens.
Reuse without rebuilding - when Twitter comes up again, start from your saved version and run it with clear ownership.
