Get Twitter Account Verified

**peterbruce** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-28-2012, 04:13 PM

I get asked daily "How do I get that tick beside my Twitter name"

Does anyone know how to go about getting an account verified?

Yes, I have seen that link.

Just thought there may be some method to get them verified as I saw someone selling verified accounts.

They are going for $5 on Fiverr.

If you sold there you would get less than $4 with the fees.

i think the ones are fiverr are referring to the email address being verified not obtaining verified status. as the help page says on twitter:

Code:

How do I get my account verified?

This program is currently closed to the public. This means we are not able to accept public requests for verification.

you can create an acc on twitter and not verify your email address which most bots do.

Hi, for you to get your account verified you must first checked the e-mail you have used on that account and if the spelling was correct. Then click in the yellow pop-up message, click the button verify your e-mail address. Go to your mail box and click in the confirmation link given by twitter. After which it's done. You will see the blue check icon beside your indicating that your account was verified.

Something i stumbled upon:

Code:

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2012/01/twitter-verification-has-pricetag-15000/47210/

Got a spare 15,000?

Those little blue checks don't come cheap if you aren't a household name. And that might be a good thing. We know first hand how much power those blue "verified" check marks have on Twitter as we witnessed from the fake, yet briefly authenticated account purporting to belong to Wendi Deng. They've also become status symbols since the company shut down the process to apply for them in 2010. Nowadays only famous people seem to get them (finally a Kardashian has something in common with Barack Obama). But you can buy get one too, if you spend enough money on Twitter advertising or if you get famous enough to incite "impersonation issues"--which makes for a nifty "Celebrity or $15,000" test next time you follow a verified account (though there are caveats--since some blue checks were grandfathered in before the process was shut down)

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting.

So basically I would need to spend 15K advertising with them to have a chance of getting verified?

or somehow become an internet twitter celebrity...or something of the sort. I've had a few ideas to try, that im going to put into action next week though.

**IKbentim** · #31 (**permalink**) 01-31-2012, 08:04 PM

You have to be a Youtube celebrity or a famous blogger or site owner. For example @D8Ashley is verified for being a contestant on some season of dancing with the stars with very little followers. I've seen Magazines, Celebs, Politicians, Brands, and Customer Service people get a verified sign. However 'quote pages' (even the big one like lord voldemort 7) never get verified.

Here is a list of all verified accounts. There are some weird accounts there like @AskMen_MIA

Maybe they go by number of fans and followers. I they see 200000 they may have a verify light go off.

I've seen plenty of celebrities without being verified but with hundreds of thousands of followers - don't think that's the reason.

I'm also pretty interested in this to build credibility for my Twitter accounts.

You will see verified accounts with less than 500 followers.

SamWitwicky · #41 (**permalink**) 02-04-2012, 11:33 PM

Hey Peter,

I've been looking into this, for awhile, also; I've come down to the conclusion that there really is no way around it. As already stated in this thread, you either have to be some sort of "celebrity", or pay a pretty penny, to get that verified check-mark.

Ridiculous.

I have the same thoughts.

I suppose it only makes sence on twitters end.
