- Show up. Update your account frequently and make sure you post often. This will show you are visible and let your viewers know you are present.
- Complete the bio profile. Here you will include information about your business and any relevant information about yourself you choose to share with others.

You do want your customers to know who you are and what you have to offer them, so leaving this part out really isn’t an option.
- Brand your small business background on Twitter. Here you will be able to create an online billboard of sorts.
