Twitter is an excellent, completely free PR tool that more actors than ever are using to network and build relationships online. Here are 30 ways you can use it to advance your acting career.
Grab your name on Twitter (and all of your social media accounts)! If someone has it, try adding your middle initial or “actor.”
Make your account public! You can’t build a fan base with a private account.
Use a headshot as your profile picture on all of your social media accounts.
Create a kick butt header photo (1500×500 pixels) that shows us who you are!
Write a great bio using career-specific keywords (actor, SAG, AEA, voiceover, etc.).
Add your location to your profile so people using Twitter search to find actors in their area can find you.
Add a link to your website. If you don’t have an actor website yet, link your IMDb, about.me page, or a social network.
Choose a theme color that matches your profile, header photo, and your website.
Pin a welcome tweet to your profile. This can be a quick video introduction, a photo, or a way to direct followers to your website.
Twitter is a great place to network with new people, but don’t forget connections
