3. Profile Username

Your username can have personal and professional implications for your online reputation.

Choose wisely and make sure it reflects positively on your personal and/or business brand.

Don't lose out on opportunities and business connections because of a poor username.

Don't be a Number

Let me give you a few examples of the types of usernames I would never use:

  • LazyLizzy (negative words associated with your name)
  • SexyBabe (people should not think they are going to end up at one of "those" sites)
  • ewrew69503 (this makes no sense. Do you really want me to follow you?)
  • ben1234 (many people use these because their name is already taken, but I personally don't like it. It feels like I'm just another number).

How to Choose a Username? And How to Benefit From It? (post by egonsarv)

What's Your Name

Please provide your real name (if it is different from your username) in discussions and comments so that people can reply to you without having to look for your real name by hovering over your profile image.

Did you know you can find someone's name by hovering over their profile image?

Give it a try.

WA has a very interactive community and we love to chat and comment. Knowing someone's name makes it easier.

Did you know you can change your Wealthy Affiliate Username?

Yes, you can change it only once. Make it count!


Thanks for following my training.

Hi Rika,
Thanks for this training. I must admit I have never updated or changed my profile bio since I started in 2018. This is on my to-do list, thanks for the tips.

My pleasure Jenny. It's worth spending a few minutes updating your profile. I have a look at mine at least once a year to see if I could add anything or if anything changed.

Have a great day!

It would then look like this: MurrayDRuxton

I like: MurrayRuxton (less confusing and immediately clear especially if you capitalize the "R") - just my personal preference:)
