How to Add a Link in Twitter

If you come across the best website to find deals on name-brand shoes or an intriguing news story, you most likely want to share it with anyone who will listen. Twitter is a resource many people use to share news and websites with friends or followers. You can even share your company website on Twitter as a marketing tool. Add a URL to your Tweet to share the link with your followers.

Instructions

1. Log into your Twitter account.

2. Copy and paste the link in the message box and click “Tweet.” This will send the link to all of your followers. If your profile is not private, anyone can read your Tweet.

3. Copy and paste the link to the URL box on TinyURL (see Resources) if the link is more than 140 characters. This website will shorten the link for you. Copy and paste the tiny URL that is created to your Twitter message box and select “Tweet.”

4. Select “Settings” from the top menu bar to add a link on your profile page. Select “Profile” from the top menu provided. Copy and paste the website into the box that reads “Web.” Save your changes.
