A short YouTube video by Tracy Hazzard offering practical advice on social media handles: choose a consistent handle across platforms, reserve it (including on platforms you may not immediately use like TikTok), and use the handle portion of profile URLs so people can find you easily. The clip warns that securing handles on some platforms but not others can lead to inconsistency.
The other thing that you really have to know in advance of deciding all of these social media things is what's your handle going to be? And can you pick one that will be the same one on all the platforms? Even if you're not going to use TikTok right out the gate, you might want to go ahead and get a TikTok account. So you have the handle. So it's all the same. And that's that part of the URL that everybody, you could just hand that one thing out to people, and they can find you on any platform with that handle. And it's the, the latter part of the, like, facebook.com/, that's your handle, whatever's after that slash. So that's, that's like a whole nother kind of beast right there, because you could, you could go on to three platforms and yay, I got my handle. And then one I didn't.
