Have you considered customizing your Twitter profile with free Twitter backgrounds?

Here’s the deal: Whether you have thousands of twitter followers or are a complete newbie, your Twitter profile could benefit greatly from a little personalization. I mean, after all, isn’t that what Twitter is all about?

As you no doubt already know, Twitter is a far cry from conventional blogging. It’s spawned the phrase “micro-blog” and is so easy to use. You can even update your account through your mobile phone.

Moreover, an appealing background can do wonders for your Twitter list building. And list building can do wonders for any business opportunity you might be promoting.

And there are some pretty elaborate backgrounds out there.

You will, for example, see photos and contact information on the side.

You will come across frames creatively outlining the main text field.

And you will even find designs that people have customized on their own.

Each of them is carefully crafted to work around the text elements of Twitter’s layout.

But how do you come up with a theme that brands you or your business and piques the interest of your followers – without overstressing layout and design?

That’s where free Twitter backgrounds come into play.

Because of the popularity of Twitter apps, there are a huge number of choices available for you.

Here are three of the most popular sites offering Twitter tools to help get you going.

TwitterPatterns.com

This site offers 100% free Twitter backgrounds, and can be used only for your Twitter page.

For example, you can’t download a pattern and use it for your blog.

Set-up is very simple. All you do is click on the image you want to download; go to your Twitter settings and choose “Design”; from there choose to “change background image”; browse and then upload the file; check “tile background” and then save. That’s it.

Now you have a background that stands out from the crowd.

TwitterBacks.com

With these free Twitter backgrounds, you can give your account a more professional appeal.

As with Twitter Patterns, you can download any file for free.

The trick with these backgrounds is that they are powered by Photoshop; they are easy to use, however, as you create your own background and personalize them to go with your business style.

TwitBacks.com

Branding yourself on Twitter is the very essence of TwitBacks.

You can upload contact information and photos to go along with this background. You will not be charged for using this service, and you can take it a step further and have them promote your business for you.

In my opinion, making use of free Twitter backgrounds is a smart way to bring more attention to your account and rev up the number of followers you have. By having a background unlike anyone else’s your profile will feel unique to followers.

And that, folks, is something to tweet about.
