Picking a handle
Same handle everywhere
For a personal brand, claim the same handle on every network you care about, even the ones you don't use yet. Rebranding three years in costs you DMs, mentions and search traffic.
Short beats clever
Shorter handles are quicker to remember, type and tag. Aim for 10 characters or fewer when you can. Skip leetspeak (paul0_des1gn) and stacked punctuation. They look like spam accounts.
Skip the year suffix
Handles ending in a year (paulo2024) age badly. If you need a suffix, pick a niche word (paulodesign), a short tag (paulo_co), or your initial. Anything that won't feel dated in 18 months.
