What needs to be considered regarding the profile name? Actually, it should be self-evident, but experience shows that this has always been an important topic: avoid nicknames such as “Beerlover_75″ or “Cute_Chick_London”, especially when using Twitter in a professional context.

Upload a photo – an egg is used as default picture. Ask yourself if you want to be contacted by an egg or if you want to interact with an egg.
