More Tips for Choosing Your Social Media Name

Choosing your Social Media Moniker is harder than it sounds. You need a name that is broad enough to encompass all you do, yet narrow enough to properly serve your niche. Rushing out and picking a name without giving it careful thought can bring havoc on you later when you find that the name you’ve chosen is already being used, or otherwise no good. I’m writing this article to help you figure out the right name that will serve you long term.

- Choose a name no one else has.
- Choose a name that is no more than 12 characters.
- Don’t try to do too much with your name.
- Use your name if no one else has it.
- Check your name in Twitter, Digg, Facebook.
- Make sure the domain is available for your name in .com and .net.
- Get approval before you use trademark related names or concepts.
- Make your name stand out.
- Use a call to action if possible, ie: “getmoving”
- Use the thesaurus to look up words you want to use.
- Brainstorm different name ideas.

Flash Web Designer

So you've decided to go with a little Flash on your website design! That's good! A little goes along way! If you just have some Flash then it's easier to optimize your site! 100% Flash sites do not do well in the search engines.

If you have a good Flash Designer, then your site will be designed correctly and you won't have any site downtime issues. But the problem is that a lot of designers are trying to teach themselves Flash and are claiming to be Flash Designers in the process! Which means a lot of headaches for you because they don't know how to fix the problems that they've created.

I received a call last week from a so-called Flash designer who was designing a site for a hospital. He had no clue what he was doing. He thought that he new the language, but he did not. He wanted a $5000 website for $500. He had no clue what he was doing, but just wanted a little html help! Make sure that your Flash Web Designer knows what they are doing!

Don't be afraid to ask for credentials! Ask for samples of Flash sites that they've designed and last but certainly not least ask for references. You are paying good money to have your website designed, you deserve to have a professional flash web designer working for you!
