Creating a Username for Your Facebook Profile or Facebook Fan Page

By Nile Flores 8 Comments


I thought I would put together a short video tutorial on creating a username for your Facebook profile or Facebook fan page. Normally, for both, when you first sign up for either a profile or fan page, the URL structure is very generic and often has a long number.

For those who brand their user profiles online, the number can be a bit of a pain. However, it is only temporary. For profiles you may have to authenticate your account by cell phone to have use of this feature. For fan pages, you have to at least have 25 fans.

As a quick reference from the video. The link to the page to change your Facebook username or Facebook fan page is http://www.facebook.com/username/.

In the case you are having troubles with gaining fans, I might suggest participating in #FanPageFriday at both the Facebook fan pages of Nile Flores and Kim Castleberry. Just remember to also share the link to your favorite fan pages and then another wall post to your own fan page.

    Although I may not be one of those who could make use of this tutorial, Nile, I really appreciate what you are doing. There are so many social media newbies out there who can make use of this and I am sure they will be very grateful to you for putting this forward. Thanks and enjoy your weekend!

    Earlier you don't have to register your cell phone to authenticate your account while setting your username. I have done it normally without registering my cell phone. But I don't know why Facebook introduced to register your cellphone before setting the username.

    This is an awesome, easy video. So many people that have been in the Facebook world for a while completely forget about this. A vanity link is the way to go, especially on the go- Possibly without a business card – You can still say "Facebook Me" and you will be found.

    Choosing the right vanity link is also important to make it easy for people to find and connect with you on Facebook. Small step that yields large results ๐Ÿ™‚

    Great post!!
