It’s very basic stuff but in my view it’s absolutely essential info if you are just getting your Twitter presence set up. The article offers advice about setting up your profile, establishing credibility and using Twitter search to find relevant keywords. A sample of the advice offered:

Similar to a mini ‘About’ page, Twitter gives you 160 characters in your profile so you can write a brief Bio to describe who you are and further specify your business. Make sure the link to your small business blog appears somewhere in this section. Or, even better, include your blog as the one html link you are allowed to have.

I am amazed at how many small businesses skip the Bio step. The results of not taking the time to fill out the profile section will give your business a look similar to the one below. Ask yourself, would you visit the small business blog of the ‘iamabusiness’ profile?
