Nowadays, people are more actively present on social media than at home. It is an excellent way to relax, peek into other people’s life, connect with everyone, and very importantly, it has become a necessity to be present on social media. However, do you know which is the crucial step to be taken while creating an account?
It is having a good username as this becomes our identity on social media. Creating a unique username that appears both creative and funny is a time-consuming task. However, the results yield are worth the effort put behind the creation of cool usernames as they are going to leave a good impression on others and may increase the followers.
It seems that all the creative usernames have already been in use on the popular social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The reason may be the presence of loads of people on these sites. But no worries, a little shift from the standard approach and few tips will help in coming up with a voguish username.
The very first thing to think about is the platform on which we are creating a username. Each social media platform gets used for a specific purpose. People should make usernames accordingly that justify their purpose on such platforms. Twitter and Facebook are more of a mixture of professional and personal information.
The user needs to have a username based on what they will use it. Instagram is a platform that the user uses to post their photos. It is more to connect with other users, make them like your photos, make them follow your account. Hence, the username cannot be a funky one on Twitter in contrast to the username on Instagram where it can be made creative.
The second thing that needs our attention is what content will get posted on the account. Will it be used for some comedy content, for fitness tips, for beauty advice, for endorsing brands, or for sharing your daily lifestyle? It may be for anything. For a perfect username that goes in tune with your profile, you should first get clarity on its type of content.
