It wasn’t too long ago when people were scrambling to get just the perfect domain name. When you think about, it was about being the first to think of that great domain name and then buying it…
Well, with FaceBook seeing over 500 million people a month, many of us having a Business FaceBook page, it only seems fitting that we can create a Username that fits our Business or Personal presence on FaceBook.
The benefit here is great. It used to be when providing links for people to “Like” or “Friend” us on FaceBook the link looked something like:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/iwebbit/137212966331260
Honestly, that looks kind of ugly, doesn’t it?
With the ability to capture your preferred name it can look like this:
http://www.facebook.com/iWebbIt
Which is very cool and certainly goes a long way in branding you, your service and/or your product.
So get yours today, in fact go right now and get it, otherwise it might get taken.
You need to make sure the identity on FaceBook that you are going to get the Username fo has at least 25 Fans or Freiends.
Here is the link you want to go to once you have signed into your FaceBook Account.
http://www.facebook.com/username/
When the page comes up you will see “Page Name: and a drop down field selector, pick the name for teh FaceBook identity you want to secure the Username for…
Once you have done that, you will see another empty field Box appear, type in the name you want to use, My suggestion is make it as close to the name of your business or product; use Capitals to differentiate the words of your domain name.
What ever you chose, understand once you select it and confirm, you can never change it!
Once you are happy with the name, click on “Check Availability” if the name is available, secure it. You can do this for your personal identity also, I did…
Let us know how it worked out.
To your Success!
