Twitter Profiles
The following data is my opinion based on observation and my education. I'm not stating it as
absolute fact, only as my opinion! But of course it's 100% totally accurate. That said, I'll get on
with it.
Pictures
First thing is the picture. Pictures communicate better than words. So what do you
want to communicate?
An “egg” picture can communicate you're lazy, you're scared, you're hiding or who
knows what! It certainly does not communicate beauty, confidence, knowledge,
friendship or anything positive about you.
So you are picking out a picture. You decide on a logo. Do people really fall in love
with a business? Do they want to tell a business important things in their live or
how about the unimportant things?
So you decide on a tough uncaring picture, perhaps ugly or who knows what!
What is that telling people? Does it make them want to be your friend? Does it
make you safe to communicate with?
There are people I refuse to follow because I don't like their picture as they are
intentionally being what I consider ugly and/or offensive.
Names
You can't do a whole lot about the name your parents gave you. But if you really
want to you can totally change it. I was called “Allen” by my family. I went into the
Army and they called me "Watts, Carl." Not really caring much one way or the
other, I became know as Carl Watts from there on.
Your Twitter name is something which communicates similar to your picture. Again,
what do you want to communicate? I am @Poet_Carl_Watts. (Tell your friends!)
A sexy name, like a sexy picture, can communicate you are a slut (male or female)
or that you sell lingerie. Or it can say because your body is aesthetic and it has
always been a successful way for you to get attention and you are continuing to
use it for attention. Someone could think that you want attention and don't know
how else to attract it.
It could be something else entirely but you have to decide how promiscuous you
want your name to sound, how mean or how kind. You have to decide if your name
should be threatening or helpful. What do you want people to think about you?
Biography
I don't believe I need to say the same things again. There is only so much you can
enter on Twitter. I would suggest that you include a URL as another way to contact
you. Again, what do you think people will think having read your bio?
threatening, to be ugly. It's your choice.
People will form opinions about you based on your appearance, your words and
your actions.
If you have a tragic personal situation, is that want you want to promote in your
bio? Are you looking for sympathy, to bring others down? Is your tragedy the main
focus of your life? Should you be focusing on that or the positive things in life, in
your future?
Your value to humanity is not your personal tragedy. Your value is
your strength and ability to create!
What kind of impact do you want to create on your fellow man? Do you want them
to survive better or worse?
A personal opinion of mine, don't mention "Unfollowing". Of course if they unfollow
you, unfollow them but why make the suggestion before they even get to know you.
Another is "I'll follow you if you follow me." Sounds like extortion or something. Go
ahead and follow them.
If you say follow for follow (f4f), follow them all. Seeing someone that is following
2000 while 3000 are following him makes the f4f a lie. So don't write it in your bio if
you are not going to do it.
