Second, it helps you grow your audience by letting you promote your social media posts for free. Third, it allows businesses and brands to manage their public personas on Bing, Outlook, and other Microsoft products.

After you click on the get started button, you can enter your email, social media details, and add your own website to your submission. Microsoft uses Twitter to authenticate your account.
The program is in beta, and at this time, it’s unclear how many people will receive new profiles. The profiles that are created seem to be similar to the results you see for famous people.
