Same User Name Over Multiple Social Networks

[Matthew Sherborne]

With all of the social networks out there on the social marketing landscape, you probably know how important it is to have the same user name over multiple social networks

For one thing having the same user name is great for branding purposes. By using the same name your prospects and friends can seek you out and find you with an easy Google search. This means more exposure and help propelling your social submissions and using the people you know for leverage.

Creating an online presence that is the same over many social sites make you much more visible. Increasing your online exposure could mean the difference between making a lot of sales and barely scraping by.

One of the tools I use to increase my online publicity through social sites is to use the same user name when ever possible. One of the sites that helps in the process of easily determining if my name is available is: Where is Your Username registered

Once you run a quick search for your user name you can make sure you sign up for the social sites where your name is available. This site is also great because it can help you determine if a user name is widely available before you select it.

This way you can make sure the name you pick will be widely available over many social networks instead of a very limited quantity.
