Choosing Your Username

Tips for picking the perfect username for your Itzme profile.

Why Your Username Matters

Your username becomes your Itzme URL: itz.me/yourusername. This is the link you'll share everywhere - on your resume, social media, and business cards.

Best Practices

Use your real name

itz.me/johnsmith or itz.me/janedoe - easy to remember and professional

Keep it short

Shorter is better for typing and sharing. Aim for under 15 characters.

Avoid numbers if possible

johnsmith is better than johnsmith123 - looks more professional

Use lowercase letters

Usernames are case-insensitive, but lowercase looks cleaner in URLs

What If Your Name Is Taken?

Try these variations:

  • Add your middle initial: johnsmith → johndsmith
  • Use your full name: johnsmith → johnsmithjr
  • Add your profession: johnsmith → johnsmithdesign
  • Try different spellings: johnsmith → jonsmith

Important: Usernames cannot be changed after signup. Choose wisely!

Username Requirements

  • 3-30 characters long
  • Letters, numbers, and underscores only
  • No spaces or special characters
  • Must be unique (no duplicates)
