Hi, this is Steve Wiideman from seoexpert.tv. For those who don't know what SEO is, its Search Engine Optimization. You can go to Google right now and search for the term SEO Expert and you will find one of my websites in the first page of the search results, give you an idea of how it works. What I am going to do today is go through a quick exercise on how to optimize your Twitter profile page. I have already created a white paper that you will be able to access at seoexpert.tv; it shows you kind of how you can do this on your own. It's very simple. Simply go to your Twitter page. Here is mine. You can actually see how -- I will expand this to my normal window size. I have created a custom Twitter background that promotes my website, seoexpert.tv. So I am going to show you how to do this for yourself. Go back to my normal window size here for a second. It's actually very simple. Here is how to do it. Using a program such as Photoshop or Microsoft Paint, you are able to create your own custom background image. What you want to do is make sure that the width of this image is approximately 2630 pixels wide. I know it seems excessive, but most people have wide screen monitors these days, so let's accommodate them. A height of 2461. Here you can see I am using Photoshop. I simply went into this template that you can find at seoexpert.tv for yourself; again, download the white paper to get the link, How to Get Free Traffic. I put all this great information here. Here is the image size that you are going to want to have. Save it to your Desktop or to some place on your computer where you can upload it, and I will show you where you can go to upload. So we are back to twitter.com. I am going to click on Settings. I am going to click on Design. I am going to click on Change Background Image, and then I am going to upload my custom background from the computer, from My Computer. Then I am going to click on Save Changes. That's all you have to do. Create your image in Photoshop or in Microsoft Paint. Make sure that it is approximately this width and height. Add your custom features here, whatever you want to have. You can put a picture, an image, promote your product, service. It's a great marketing tool to use. Go back to Twitter, upload your background image and click Save, and that's all you have to do. So I hope this was useful to you. Again, you can find more great tips at seoexpert.tv. Hope you have enjoyed this lesson.
