Generic is good if you are using a personal Twitter account, but generic is very bad if you are using a Twitter account for your business or brand.

There is the generic Twitter background and there are also 12 stock backgrounds that can be used with varying colors. These are good, but a custom one is better. You want to have a Twitter background that helps you stand out from the crowd and really get noticed. You want a Twitter background that is going to make people really take notice of what you have to say for your business and what your brand is all about.

The great thing is that having a custom Twitter background is very easy to do and it is something you need to consider. You do not need to be a computer programmer to have a different Twitter background, you just need some great graphics and know where to go to set it up.

If you want to have a custom Twitter background, then this is all you have to do:

1. Go to Settings on your Twitter page and click the Design tab
2. Select Theme and click “Change Background Image”. At this point, you can also choose to “Change Design Colours” You can really be creative here
3. All you do now is choose the design colour, or you can change the entire background image with a custom one by uploading a custom image

When you use a custom Twitter background, all you have to do is wait for your customers and clients to come to your Twitter account and see that you are not just one of the crowd. You are helping to make yourself stand out and when you do that, you get more business and make a difference in how much money you make.

1. It is completely free and this is very important because as a small business, you need to save money. You need to save money but you need to reach customers and a custom Facebook fan page will allow you to do that.
2. You can reach many customers, more so than you could with paid advertisements. Facebook has 500 million members, and if you have 2,000 friends you can invite them to your Facebook fan page. If they all invite 100 of their friends, you now have 200,000 fans for your business.
3. You can put up deals that are displayed directly to your customers. So, you have 200,000 fans on Facebook. Now, you put up a deal on your custom Facebook Page wall and that deal appears on the walls of 200,000 customers automatically. Suddenly, you are now promoting to nearly a quarter million customers and it did not cost you a single cent.
4. You can offer coupons to customers through the fan page. You put up a coupon code for a new product you have and your customers then go to the business web site and put in the coupon code to get the deal. This works better than any form of advertising and it is something that you can easily do with a custom Facebook page.

With a custom Facebook page, you reach more people than you ever thought possible, you expand your business, you save money and you take your business to a whole new level. All it takes is setting up a custom Facebook page to get it done, and that in itself is a very easy thing to do. Just remember, keep it fresh, interesting and intriguing to your Facebook fans.

1. Create an account; you can’t have a Twitter background without a Twitter account.
2. Decide what you want the image to be. If it is a Twitter account for your business, then have your company logo, or a picture of you, or a picture of your store.  Make sure there is personality in you Twitter background.
3. Now, you should consider how much space you have for your custom Twitter background. Remember, your custom Twitter background will appear in the middle of the page. So, anything in the middle will not be seen because your Twitter feed will block it. For this reason, you may want to think about tiling the photos. That way the viewer can see the picture in various parts of the page, without missing anything.
4. For your custom Twitter background, you should consider putting in a border. It will be easier on the eyes of y our users if they can distinguish between the picture without it all melding together.
5. At this point, go to your Twitter profile and select Change Background Image. Then, upload the image you have chosen. After a few seconds, it should upload and you can see what it is going to look like. Look at your profile and determine if the picture is right for your page. If it is, then go with it, but if you feel it is not, then you should choose an image that you like better, or that will fit better.

Twitter can offer your business a big boost by helping you to reach clients from all over the world. The trick is making use that you create a Twitter profile that is going to match your business and you. This is why you need to choose a good Twitter background for it, and that comes down to choosing a custom Twitter background. It is very easy to do and it can help set your business Twitter profile apart from the rest that are on this neat little social media site.

1. First thing you need to do is to make sure your Facebook Fan Page is easy to find. Facebook gives you an address you can use but once you reach 25 fans, you can customize it to say www.facebook.com/yourbusiness. Do this when you have the chance so it is easier for your customers to find.

2. Next, you want to put as much as you can on your Facebook Fan Page. Under the information, tell your customers about your company, and include right on the main page how they can reach you. Be concise but detailed so your future customers know exactly what you are selling.

3. The Facebook Fan Page Welcome Page is the first thing people see when they go to the fan page so you want to make sure they see what you want them to see. Put your latest deals right on your Facebook Fan Page wall. That way customers will see your latest deals, offerings and more, right away.

4. In addition, you want to get people from your fan page to your website, so offer new fans a coupon code that they can then take to your web site and use to buy items at a discounted rate. You can go further and offer incentives for customers who find you more fans, by offering them, and the new fans, more deals that drives more traffic to your website.

5. Lastly, Be very interactive on your fan page. Talk with your fans, interact with them, answer questions and more. This will make it easier for your fans to get to know you and to trust your business, which is very important in the world of small business
