It is important to change your background so it is not the default Twitter page. If you leave it as one of the standard twitter choices you are missing opportunity to set yourself apart from others. Remember that many users still manually look at each person to determine if they will follow back or not. Distinguish yourself from the crowd, attract more followers, and appear professional.
Your background can be packed with a lot of additional information to tell more about you. You can add information that promotes much more than you can add to your bio.
If you are a graphics guru, then you can do your own background. Create a professional background with all of your information and upload it to your profile. If you are graphically challenged or simply want to save time, there are some helpful resources to help you with your twitter background. Simply Google “twitter backgrounds” and you will find quite a few sites offering this service for free. Here are a couple that I have tried with success
- Twitbacs has some great backgrounds and has some of the source files if you want to tweak our background.
- Search Flickr for twitter backgrounds to find some resources. Be sure you check the license before using someone’s work.
- Twitrbackgrounds has many to choose from and can create a custom background for you
