How can i get verified on twitter? - Jack - 05-01-2014 02:38 PM
Hi. I'm a musician and I want my profile verified in case of imposters. My Twitter is @ANIM8ORmusic. Is there any way I can get hold of a Twitter employee or is there another way I can get verified?
Thanks in advance.

you can only get verified if you pay and have a certain number of followers, and you also have to be famous

Determine if you qualify for a verified Twitter account. Twitter verifies as few accounts as possible and only for legitimate reasons. Reasons for asking Twitter include being a highly recognizable public figure , or if your name and likeness is parodied or impersonated on multiple Twitter accounts, leading to identity confusion.

Though Twitter does not have an official stance on this, several Twitter-verified companies have indicated that spending $5000/month on Twitter advertising will also get your account verified.
Twitter will not consider you for verification based on your number of followers. Twitter urges Tweeters to "Please note that follower count is not a factor in determining whether an account meets our criteria for verification."
Twitter recommends embedding a Twitter "Follow" button on your official website as the best alternative to verification. You can learn how to do this here. This allows you to obtain followers directly from your official site, which is very helpful if there are multiple Twitter accounts that use your name.
Twitter also recommends including a link to an official website as an alternative to verification.
