You can't promote a product until it has a BRAND.

​

SOCIAL MEDIA

​

First, you need to make sure you have a name that STICKS that no one else has. 

Your name describes you, is memorable and is not used by anyone who can be construed as someone other than you or competes with your target audience.

So if you have put together your branding ideas and come up with your brand name suzysingssillysongs  you are ready to begin but... Here is the deal. You are going to need multiple accounts that all have the exact same name.

​

Exact same name.

​

Exact same name.

​

Do a google search for your dream name: suzysingssillysongs

​

Does the name show up anywhere else?

​

Then on Google, search: suzysingssillysongs.com

​

Is the domain name available? if yes....

​

Then search: #suzysingssillysongs

​

Anything out that there that is not you? if no....

​

Do another search: @suzysingssillysongs

​

If it is available then you know you can build your brand on the name you have chosen. 

​
