A step-by-step guide to setting up a Sina Weibo account for your brand

Go to www.weibo.com

Click on the create new account button
Click this button to create a new account. You will then be taken to the account creation screen.

Create your account
This is the account creation screen. Don’t worry. It’s as simple a process as on Twitter.

Create your account
Here’s a zoomed in view. You can probably guess what the fields are, but just in case…

Enter your e-mail address
Enter your e-mail address here. You’ll see some autocompleted Hosts should you need a prompt.

Check your password strength
Don’t forget to make sure it’s secure. This bar here will tell you how secure your password is.
The range is from ‘弱’ (weak) to ‘中’ (medium) to ‘强’ (strong).

Choose your username
Now enter your desired username. If it’s free you’ll see a green tick. If not, you’ll see a message in red with some suggestions of free names.

Choose your username
When selecting your username you can use either English or Chinese script. If your brand has an established Chinese name it may be worth registering accounts with both your English and Chinese brand names.

Choose your gender
Choose your gender here. It’s mandatory so up to you for your brand. We would recommend something in line with your brand type or the gender of the brand manager.

Choose your location
Here you can select your country. It should automatically select ‘海外’ (overseas) and ‘英国’ (England/Britain) if you are based in the UK.

Captcha verification
Now’s the time to verify you’re not a bot with a quick captcha. Don’t worry, it will be in English! Enter the text you see to the right of the input box.

Submit your details
When you’re sure you’re ready to proceed, click this green button and you’ll create your account.

The confirmation screen
You’ll now be told you’ve received a confirmation e-mail. If you’d like, click the green button to take you to your mailbox if it’s a common one, or to your domain if it’s custom.
