How I get my name out there
If you plan on establishing yourself on the internet, the first thing you should do is come up with a name for yourself. And I don’t mean your real name. Well, you can use your real name, but unless it’s something really unique, like Embellished Golden Rose, chances are it’s already in use all over the internet. It’s fine to let people know who you are, but you should choose an alias that is unique. Use your nickname, your name plus your year of birth, or a phrase or a term that represents you. There are many options out there, and if you want you can throw in “the”, “a”, or hyphens or underscores to ensure that your name is unique.
Once you do have that name picked out, make sure to register various social networking accounts using it as a username. Check out sites like 43 Things, 43 Places, 43 People, Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Twitter, Youtube, etc. Before you know it, searching for your alias on Google or Yahoo will bring up all of your registered profiles!
