<p>This is one of the hardest parts of a business. Especially if you are a small business.</p>



<p>So where to start? Well as per my previous article the Brand /  Name. This needs to be common across the platforms. </p>



<p>So if you are just starting out and have an idea for a brand it is worth checking out the platforms to see if that name has already been taken.</p>



<p>If you already have a brand then you can be limited however you can always work out a variation that is close enough. </p>



<p>Do not choose something completely different as this could confuse people. (Yes i have done that in the past myself)</p>



<p>So platforms.</p>



<p>There are main ones and then lots of other little ones:</p>



<p>Facebook &#8211; <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">https://facebook.com</a> </p>



<p>Instagram &#8211; <a href="https://instagram.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://instagram.com</a></p>



<p>Twittter &#8211;  <a href="https://twitter.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://twitter.com</a></p>



<p>Google Business &#8211; <a href="https://business.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://business.google.com/</a></p>



<p>tumblr &#8211; <a href="https://tumblr.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tumblr.com</a> </p>



<p>Pinterest &#8211; <a href="https://pinterest.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://pinterest.com</a></p>



<p>Facebook and Instagram are owned by the same company and can be linked.</p>



<p>Short of spending money getting followers and gaining business is old fashioned patience and hard work.</p>



<p>I will do follow up posts about each platform and what you can do.</p>
