hey there i'm jenn herman with jen's,trends,and if you're curious about how to set,up your username on instagram,this is the video for you so what goes,into a good username,well i want to go beyond just the,username,there's two criteria on instagram that i,want you to be most aware of,and that's the username and the name,so first and foremost it's important to,understand that those are the only two,searchable criteria on instagram meaning,if someone goes and searches for,a name a business name a category of,something,and it pulls up accounts as the results,the only criteria,that it is looking at is the name and,the username it's not looking at your,bio,it's not looking at your content it's,not looking at anything anywhere else in,terms of those search results,so if the words you want to be found for,are not in the name or the username,fields,you are not going to show up in those,searches,and this is important to understand,because we want to make sure that we,pick the best,username overall but that it,incorporates,that aspect as well so a good username,is going to reflect you and or your,brand,how you want to be recognized on,instagram when you,post when you comment when you interact,with someone else's content,you are known as your username therefore,the username is how you are most,recognized and we want that to be,the best reflection of your brand or,your business,so maybe it's your business name maybe,it's something,tagline related to your business that,people would recognize,whatever it is that has to be the most,recognizable aspect,of your brand now if you're someone like,me where,i am my brand jen's trends and jen,hermann,are one and the same i could use my name,i could use something related to jen,herman because people know me,as my name but for my username i did,choose the brand name so i chose,jen's trends now i also put an,underscore in there so it's j,e n n s underscore trends,because i wanted to be very clear those,were two separate words,so you can use either an underscore or a,dot to separate,words it's important that you think,about this because if you have one,long run-on username doesn't matter if,you think it's capitalized or if you,think you can read it,it's one long run-on lower case,phrase and what you know and read as one,username,may not be what other people read i,always have an example that i use,where uh someone had the username a,guide,to and then it had the rest of it so a,guide,to but that was all one word well i,thought it was,maybe something in the language of,spanish and i started reading it as a,aguitu a getty too like i was trying to,figure out how to read and i literally,did this on air,and i made a complete network full of,myself because i couldn't figure out how,to pronounce it,only to find out it wasn't even anywhere,near what it was supposed to be it was,supposed to be a guide,too so make sure that other people can,read your username,the way you want it to be read and if,it's not reading the way you want it to,be read consider adding those dots or,underscores,to make it more clear what those,separate words are,then your name can be anything you want,when you go into edit your profile,there's the name field that's what shows,up in the big bold letters on your,profile,that can be anything you want so if one,is the brand the other should be,the name your actual name like i have,jen's trends as the brand name for the,username,and jen herman as the name field,now if your brand is your brand you can,have the same in both places,but i want you to think about the,keywords for which you want to be,found so if you are a photographer,somewhere in there needs to say,photographer also,you likely serve a geographical area as,a photographer you probably don't travel,a ton and take clients all around the,world,great if we did but not every,photographer does that so you're going,to want your geographical area,in there as well because if someone goes,to instagram searching for a san diego,photographer,and you don't have san diego and,photographer in your search,you're not coming up or in your name or,username you're not coming up in search,so your username might be abc dot,photography and your,name might be you know john smith san,diego photographer,that way you've got your brand name your,personal name,and what it is you do while tying in,those geographical and,keywords that you want to be found for,that's also why i have,instagram expert in my name field so if,someone's looking for jen's trends they,find that via the username,jen herman they find it the name and,they're looking for an instagram expert,that's also in the name one final thing,to keep in mind when you're picking your,name and username,the username is your url you are,instagram.com forward slash your,username,so if you change that you lose your url,i am stuck with jen's underscore trends,not that i want to change it but there,are so many links around the world from,podcasts and interviews and articles and,references that

HOW TO CHOOSE A GREAT USERNAME // Instagram Tutorial
HOW TO CHOOSE A GREAT USERNAME // Instagram Tutorial
what's going on my name is Blake,Anderson aka fade the Blake and I want,to show you some quick tips and tricks,on how to choose a good username for,Instagram,first let me show you how I came up with,my username paid to Blake the first,social media account that I had was back,in college I started out with Twitter my,name Blake Anderson was taken that was,not an option after that I decided I,didn't really want to make an account,unless I had a cool you know kind of,catchy name that people could remember,and I could brand myself by so I came up,with a lot of different names a lot of,different ideas and what I landed on was,paid to Blake I always explain it as,like fade to black,but Blake I was a film major back in,college and fade to black,is an editing reference like that and I,also love puns so fade to black fade to,blade it was unique enough that I was,able to use the username on all my,social platforms if you're coming up,with username ideas and you're not sure,if it's available there's a great,website you can use called name check,com I'll link that in the description,you're able to see what sites is,available on and what sites it's not,it's a good idea to come up with one,unique name that people can find you,across all your platforms all your,profiles so keep in mind of the main,social media sites twitter has the,shortest maximum character length for,the usernames with 15 characters YouTube,is 20 Instagram is 30 and Facebook is,like 50 or something like that I like,something that includes my name a lot of,social media accounts especially on,Instagram are built around a person and,their personal brand and I think that,the user name should reflect that that's,just my preference on a side note,especially if you're younger be careful,about using your name because on the,internet wants something's out there,it's X out there try and keep your,username or your handle personal but,also professional you want the words or,phrases or puns to mean something to use,them that you can be passionate about,that account because that's really the,only way that you're gonna have success,growing it is if you have a passion for,what you're doing you also want to keep,it somewhat professional because you,never know how long it's gonna last,hopefully forever pick something that,relates to your lane your niche this,will make it easier for people to find,you and when they do find you your,content will match whatever they thought,they were going to be clicking on it,wouldn't be super smart to call your,Instagram,Ince the dog memes 99 and someone goes,to your page and full of fitness stuff,it's gonna be pretty hard for Fitness,people to find you if your Instagram,name has to do with dog memes but ton of,people use these and they aren't,inherently bad there are plenty of,people who are looking to become the,most famous person in the world and,they're happy with their username just,being their name and then their favorite,number if you want a memorable username,and you're looking to brand yourself the,numbers at the end of your username,don't really distinguish you from anyone,else doing the exact same thing so you,kind of get lost in the shuffle stick,the letters unless a number maybe helps,you spell your handle in kind of a,unique way,one good exception to this rule is the,way athletes use it for them it makes a,ton of sense to just have their name and,the number that they wear on their,Jersey right after it like I mentioned,earlier I'm a big fan of puns and if,you're creative enough you can find one,that nobody's used yet I'm kind of made,a list of words that either rhymed with,or we're similar to my name then I,thought of puns and phrases that kind of,went along with that I landed on,swapping black for Blake and that's what,created fade of like trying to write,down a bunch of words and phrases that,relate to your name or whatever you,might like to include in your username,and that might send you on the in the,right direction as far as choosing,something that will work for you some,helpful sites I found our rhyme zone and,phrases or UK you know this might seem a,little bit obvious but sometimes having,a list of all these things in front of,you kind of helps to sort through what,you like and don't like,remember to be as creative as you can so,that you can stand out like it or not,you can only get one chance when someone,comes to your profile to be impressed,and to buy into you and when you do find,something stick with it it can set you,back a little bit each time you change a,username so try as hard as you can to,pick something and run with it,but at the end of the day after all the,username stuff great work is going to,rise to the top,whatever your username is content is,always more important the name is just,the start,post your ideas below in the comment,section it's great to get other people's,feedback in this process guys thanks so,much for watching if you enjoyed this,video go ahead and give it a thumbs up I,really appreciate

Instagram Profile Name and Username Whats The Difference
Instagram Profile Name and Username Whats The Difference
is there a difference between your,instagram profile name and your,instagram,username well the quick answer is yes,and it's actually an important,difference as well,so stick around because i'm going to,explain all of that,right now,so here we are on instagram and i,thought the best way to explain the,difference between your instagram,profile name and your instagram username,is to actually show you some examples,and i actually have three examples to,show you now the first example i'm going,to show you is stephanie pollock's,now the second example i want to show,you is from pat cummins pat happens to,be the captain of the australian cricket,team,and the third example which is one of my,favorite profiles and i actually show,this in a lot of my teaching classes is,from color me courtney,so back on stephanie's profile we are,and this is a really good example to,show you the difference between a,instagram profile name and your,instagram username so,under the photo there of stephanie we,can see her name stephanie pollock now,when she set up her account or page,that's her profile name and she's gone,um with a very simple one her name so,for most of us it's going to be our own,name or it could be your own business,name an example of a business name you,know you might go with mario's pizza in,las vegas now you're 30 character spaces,maximum so you do need to sort of um you,know narrow it down long business names,won't work but for most of us 30,character spaces is more than,more than enough now up the top of this,page we can see her user name is totally,different now she's known on instagram,as cup cake project so which is actually,clever in a way because she's giving,herself two ways to be found here on,instagram if people are searching for,her as stephanie or as the cup cake,project she's covering two bases i,suppose in regard to being searched now,right up the top you can see cupcake,projects she's got the blue tick that,means she's a verified account because,she's nearly got a million followers now,again she's limited to,30 character spaces and you can see up,the top with the username there are no,spaces in between,whereas with the profile name stephanie,there's a space in pollock so that's one,of the differences,your username there are no spaces,whereas your profile name you can add,spaces now the big difference and the,most important of these two are your,username though so cupcake project is,the more valuable of them because your,username is totally unique only one,account in the world can have that it's,a bit like an email address it's a bit,like a website it's a bit like a,telephone number that's the one that you,really want to get and if it's your,business name or your own name or,however you want to be known on,instagram that's the most valuable one,because when you're liking and,commenting,you leave behind the name or stephanie,would be leaving behind the name cupcake,project,lots of people can open our instagram,page or account as stephanie pollock and,there are probably hundreds of thousands,or thousands of people who have that,name but only one person can have cup,cake project now we're back having,another look at pat cummins's profile,now this is another good example just to,show you sometimes how we have to get,creative so pat obviously was able to,set his profile name up correctly as his,own name and that that's all he would be,looking to do there but up the top you,can see he's got pat cummings 30 now,obviously when he tried to get the,username just as his own name it wasn't,available which is a bit of a bummer i,suppose for him but he's got around that,by just having pat cummins 30. now if,someone's searching for him on instagram,and they just type in his name because,he's got his name in his profile,name and equally it forms part of his,username,you know he would get found quite,quickly and easily as well and finally,we're having a look at courtney's,profile which is so so colorful and as i,said before i use this as a good profile,example when teaching some of my,students so,courtney has set her profile name as,courtney then she's got the rainbow the,nyc color coin so you know that's,obviously one of her monikers and how,she wants to be known as she's a blogger,and she does amazing stuff here on,instagram up the top is her username,color me courtney so um you know that,maybe that's her business name or maybe,that's just her instagram name so,remembering color me courtney only one,person in the world can have that,whereas multiple people can have,the profile name you know for a lot of,us it will be our own name or just our,business name

How To Get Names Already Taken On Instagram In 2021!! (ONLY 2 WAYS)
How To Get Names Already Taken On Instagram In 2021!! (ONLY 2 WAYS)
hi guys what is going on George or,region here I hope you guys are having a,fantastic day much much love to the,viewers I really do appreciate you guys,being here and really doesn't mean the,world in this video guys I'm gonna be,quickly going through the only two ways,you are able to potentially get someone,else's username on Instagram so I've,been trying for the longest time to get,the username just region on Instagram,opposed to three underscores Region,three underscores that's what I,currently have right now that being said,I've watched many many videos and dug,deep into the Internet's wonders and,trying to figure out if you can even get,it if you can duplicate a name if you,can try to work your way around the,system and guys I can promise you you,can dislike this video if you would like,but there are only two possible ways to,get it and have these two ways don't,work you cannot get it it's just like,trying to change your snapchat name not,your not your display name your actual,at and that is impossible there's so,many videos and people saying you can,you cannot do that anyways as far as,Instagram goes guys there are two,possible ways to do it the first,possible way this is how I got my Xbox,Live name has just regen what I did is I,message the actual user and I know guys,you guys can be like oh my god this is,so stupid you you're just talking about,messaging him yes and this way probably,won't work but you always should try,this way before going on to step number,two message a user say hey you have a,name that corresponds to other my,business or if you just want it for,personal reasons I'm interested in this,name and typically you can do a mutual,exchange you know offer a small amount,of cash like PayPal or cash up whatever,yes do or don't offer that off the start,and see if he just says yes that's what,you can do I'm screen recording here on,my phone so I'm gonna put that up on the,screen to show you exactly what I'm,looking at this is the account name,region,they're super inactive zero post 92,followers zero following and literally,no picture nothing like this account is,inactive so you guys can click the link,in the description I'll probably make it,the first link it'll bring you to this,forum page here that I have on my phone,helped out in serum comm and it's gonna,say report an account what you guys want,to do is you want to report this account,for basically,mocking you or pretending to be you that,being said if the system finds it valid,they will email you once that account is,terminated or not terminated but name is,changed so you can actually change your,name to that so keep an eye on your,email after doing that I just emailed,them and he said we're going back and,forth right now and I'm trying to get,the username and he's gonna let me know,if it's available so at the current,moment of recording this I do not have,my username has regen and if I don't,down the road that's okay because I'm,95% sure the reason I want it is because,he declined it typically they need to be,inactive for a roughly a year to two,years keep that in mind,reported and personation account on,Instagram what you want to do is someone,created an account pretending to are,sorry someone created an account,pretending to be me or a friend so you,want to click that one is this account,impersonating you yes if you click no,nothing will come up and that's it so,you have to click yes then you're gonna,type your full name here you're gonna,type your email address blah blah blah,and then you have to type the full name,on the account that is representing you,so for example if I go back to Instagram,the account is representing me here is,the name I would type in is a re um and,a are a sorry I probably said that wrong,ayyy space and k IM all caps so you,would do the same for your name and then,Instagram username of reporter you would,just type there at so in this case it,would just be re GE n and then the next,part here you have to choose a file of,your ID to show that it is you please,attach a clear photo of yourself holding,an accepted ID make sure both your face,and the photo are in the ID and clearly,visible so I took a selfie holding my,driver's license up to my face and sent,it in to them make sure that it is,completely eligible when you can zoom in,now in the additional info part this,part is pretty important I would,strongly recommend if you are trying to,grow a quote unquote business for me,it's a brand brand slash business you,want to say that him having that name,him or her having that name is making,your brand in business not as easy to,find,if you feel like if you can have that at,your brand and business can grow a lot,more and you're missing out on a lot of,potential followers and stuff a lot of,potential attraction so say that or if,it's a personal reason just say simply,this account super inactive and I would,like that username now I cannot promise,you that this will work but I've bumped,into a couple people that said this h

How To Get A Taken Instagram Username - Claim Any Inactive Instagram Username (2021)
How To Get A Taken Instagram Username - Claim Any Inactive Instagram Username (2021)
in this video i'm going to show you guys,some valuable tips on how you can,actually secure,a taken instagram username and i know,there are already so many other videos,on youtube,about this topic but to be honest the,majority of the videos on youtube about,how to get an,inactive username on instagram are,really not valuable at all,they share tips that you probably,already know or that you probably,already tried and most of the times they,just share,tips that plan out just don't work so in,this video i'm only going to share,valuable strategies,that can actually lead you to,successfully securing,a taken instagram username and before we,get into it i'm just gonna tell you guys,straight up,this process can be long it's not an,easy process to get an inactive username,on instagram,if it was everybody will be doing it it,can take time and in some,cases it can take money out of pocket,but short og usernames lead to way more,social proof and makes your personal,page or your business page,looks so professional and i know that,every account that has those short,instagram usernames get a lot more,organic growth through search so i just,wanted to tell you guys that straight up,so before we get into the video guys if,you would smash a like button so the,youtube algorithm will bless me,it would mean so much and let's just get,into these tips so the first strategy is,kind of straightforward but i'm going to,kind of go in depth a little bit to give,you guys my personal experience,which has helped me secure some of the,inactive usernames on instagram,so the first strategy is to dm the user,directly and i know what you might be,thinking come on,i clicked on this video just for you to,tell me that but just bear with me for a,second,because i'm sure if you guys are serious,about this you've done that thousands of,times i know i have but the reason why i,bring this up is because the majority of,pages they don't respond,i mean i've had hundreds of pages not,respond to me it is gonna be the most,likely outcome,so if that's what you guys are dealing,with right now i have a little tip,to get in contact with the page directly,and that is to go to their following,list if they're following a set group of,people,you're going to want to look for their,mutual followers and that means people,who are following them back,and why i recommend doing this is,because if they're mutual followers,they're probably in contact with each,other,and if that account has a lot of mutual,followers if you dm,every single one of them there's going,to be an even bigger chance that at,least one of them is going to respond,and they can get in contact with the,account owner that's the goal at least,so if you guys haven't tried that,strategy yet i would totally recommend,it it's free,it's just an extra chance to try to get,in contact with the owner,and so now i'm going to go straight to,my second strategy this kind of piggy,backs on that first strategy it's,basically when you get in contact,with the account owner when you ask them,if they're willing to sell their name,no matter who it is they are going to,give you the highest price,possible even if it's not that sought,after of a name,they could offer like ten thousand,dollars i think the highest price i got,for like a five letter name maybe a four,letter name was,fifty thousand dollars and that's not,worth it let me tell you straight,up most names are not worth that much,the reason why they charge so much,initially is because,they know that they have something that,you really want and,they're gonna charge like crazy for it,it makes sense why they would but i'm,here to tell you guys,that that means nothing pretty much,every account owner that's giving me a,price that's way overvalued i was able,to haggle them down severely,so basically the second strategy is just,to bargain like crazy,with these account owners and at first,they're going to tell you that they're,not going to budge on price i'm here to,tell you that that's not true from,experience,this strategy takes time in some,circumstances it could be months,but if you guys really want that name,whether it's for your business or your,personal page it's going to be worth it,just,wait it out because i guarantee you that,nobody,is going to buy it for that price,because we know the value of them,it's not worth that much to them it,might be but they're not going to sell,it so,wait it out i know it might seem like,well should i pay it,i don't want anybody else to buy it,nobody else is gonna buy it if it's,overvalued,just recently i was able to secure a six,letter instagram username again i'm not,gonna share it here but i'm gonna put,some screenshots on the screen to show,you guys that i actually did this i'm,not just making it up but to get there,was around a,four month process i'm not kidding when,i first dm the account he was wanting,over,one thousand dollars which i know was,way too much,for a six letter username no matter what,the name is if it's six letters or mo

Owning a 1-letter Instagram username (@G)
Owning a 1-letter Instagram username (@G)
so for almost four years i own one of,the most valuable digital real estate,properties on the internet,which is a one letter name on instagram,at g,the benefits of having a one letter,username were huge but it also came with,some payroll you might be surprised at,some of them but uh in this video,i'm gonna be telling you the whole story,and how i got the name my experience,with it and then how one day,in the middle of the night it vanished i,don't know do you know what happened to,it i don't know yeah two years later at,g,is still missing it's still inactive it,never resurfaced i probably sent 100,emails to instagram actually maybe more,like a thousand,i filled out their form hundreds of,times i've never heard back once so,the whole thing's been just kind of a,mystery to me so back in,2015 i was super heavy in instagram i uh,i started a bunch of pages for my app,brands,and i realized how incredibly easy it,was to build pages back then like all,you would have to do was post,right and then you disappear for four,hours come back to instagram you have,like 2 000 extra followers it was crazy,and it was also extremely lucrative and,so i started building,and accumulating pages beyond the scope,of just like my app brands and i started,i had kind of a network of pages i had,meme pages interior design pages travel,pages beauty pages,i mean i even had a page a friend's tv,meme account page,but eventually i ended up selling all of,the pages that i had because a,it was a nightmare to run it was like a,full-time job on top of a full-time job,and b i felt like i was at the mercy of,the instagram,algorithm you know in 2012 facebook,tweaked their algorithm and like a lot,of these big page,owners i guess you want to call them,they their business pretty much shut,down overnight,so i was fearful of the same happening,uh with instagram but actually fast,forward to now,it's sort of funny because instagram has,embraced these meme pages right they've,put like their support behind them,um so i was wrong my worries never kind,of manifested eventually i started,accumulating og usernames and for the,uninitiated,those are just like super clean handles,maybe it's like a,common word or it's a few letters uh for,example i owned at,epic and at action um,i owned a few others i just kind of,forget now those i ended up,selling as well but basically i just,understood the value of like a really,clean,simple handle right in the same way,people would invest in physical real,estate today i was,basically investing in digital real,estate which is like nothing new like,people have done it with dot coms and,tlds and whatnot,um but it's just the thesis that i had,was that these names were going to,explode,so in 2015 i bought the name at g for 7,500 bucks and at the time like,that might sound like a lot for a social,media page but i couldn't believe it,like i knew it was going to be an,instant 10,20 x investment i thought this is like,the easiest money i'll ever make right,which turned out to be semi-true because,while my thesis was correct the name was,going to skyrocket in value,i didn't end up selling it and so i got,left with nothing but i was getting,multiple offers serious offers,in the six like well into the six figure,range for the name which was absolutely,nuts anyways you know hindsight is 20,20.,should have parted ways with the name,but i didn't the idea was to turn adje,into kind of like a media page like a,hypebeast or a,complex which i was really inspired by,at the time and i figured,like i said man like even if it's a,complete failure of a media page like i,could still,flip it turn around and sell it for for,a ton of money like in the future,so that's what i started doing i started,posting a bunch of like complex type,like culturally relevant,uh content onto the page and it blew up,i think within,a few weeks od i think within a few,weeks,it was uh at 50 000 followers and the,organics were unreal like it was getting,100 to 150 000 organic views on the page,per week with no promo no ad spend or,anything,so what i decided to do shortly after is,turn it into my personal brand like,my personal page i said why not you know,like it seemed to be a good idea,it had a built-in audience it was,verified with the help of the same,person that i bought it from,you know seemed like a good idea it was,a pretty cool feeling you know having,the name ad g like it just felt kind of,cool like people would ask me for my,instagram and i got to say,at g you know they they'd wait like for,the rest of the letters thinking i was,about to spell something out and i was,like no no that's it,g you know it was like a flex it was,cool so over the next few years what i,did i started traveling the world,and got serious about creating content,and which was awesome i developed,a voice in the niche sort of like the,travel and lifestyle niche,i had a lot of brands interested in,working with me i met a lot of really,cool people established a lot of awesome,business relationships
