lime.jpgTwist 101

Twist 101 is a 'How To' course setup especially for you to understand the easy steps it takes to create an awesome Twist. Know how to use all fantastic tools that make ZestBit.com the best place to become an Insider and share your Twist on the world.

Step 1 -  Register or log in (takes just a minute)
Step 2 -  Define your Twist and add content
Step 3 -  Publish!

Use lots of Tools to make your Twist more interesting; you'll see there are plenty available to you from YouTube Videos to your Favorite Stores. Adding Tools is super easy and each adds a unique element to your Twist. Of course, good content keeps other Insiders engaged so make your Twist as personal and fun as you can! Note that usually the best Twists answer a “How-To” Question - knowing and answer makes you an Insider. After everything you add to your Twist, be sure to save your work and publish it.

 

What Should I Twist About?

 

Ah, the ultimate question - 'But what should I Twist about'?  The answer is simple:  WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT! The possibilities are endless, and everybody has something Juicy to share. Maybe you know the best place to Scuba Dive, or the only place that sells vintage toasters. Your Twist is your place to tell it all and other Insiders want to know what you know!   

 

This section is the heart and soul of your Twist, you may spice up your text with color, inks, photos and more, it's easy!  You may choose to copy and paste your Twist from a blog, email, or other program. Add Photos to your Twist by using the browse button. Upload pictures that will enhance the body of your Twist – Your Twist Text. As you continue writing, your text will wrap around the image.

Add/Order Your Tools

You are in control of the order in which your Tools like Amazon Products, Text Tool and YouTube appear in your Twist.  To put them in the order you want, use the arrows to move your tools up and down.  If you want to start your Twist off with a video it's totally up to you!

 

You can also add extra Tools to your Twist.  Adding more tools creates more oppertunity for the kinds of content you want! You may want to have more than one Text Tools to discuss a different aspect of your topic or display Photobucket Pictures at the beginining and end of your Twist. To add more Tools, just click 'Want more Tools? Click here to add more tools to your twist' at the end of the Tools page and you can add more of the tools you need to get your Twist the way you want it!

Amazon Products

This section is designed to display the products from Amazon that will allow other Insiders to enjoy your bit of Zest further.  I’m Twisting about ‘all things lime’ so I search for products that illustrate and introduce this Zesty Fruit’s potential. Finding products on Amazon is easy, simply click on “Search For Products on Amazon” enter a keyword into the search box and click "Search" (we’ll walk you through it when you get there too!).

 

In this case I search for Limes, Juice, and Citrus, I just add the products I like. Be sure you save what you’ve found by clicking “Add To Twist”, this will be true of all the Tools you add to your Twist. Great products to choose are books on the topic, accessories to enhance your Zest, and whatever stikes you as an interesting addition to your Twist. Including products that help other Insiders get into your Twist is a great way to show off your Zest!
