Log in to Twitter through an internet browser.

On your profile page, click on “Edit Profile” just beneath your banner picture.
Fill in the text boxes with the appropriate information.
In the Website textbox, type in the website URL of the Twitter URL link you want to show on your Twitter Bio.
Make sure the website URL includes “http//” or else Twitter will deem your link invalid.
Click “Save”
