When you register at a Social Marketing site, use your name as the Display name. Else, it will be forgettable, and in many cases, you won't taken seriously by serious marketers.

Here are examples of forgettable Display names :

• successmoney : what, you think you're the only one who can teach us that ?
• mistermoney : looking greedy is not the WTG
• jewelofthenile : let your deeds show us you are a gem
• promoter : yeah right, the other members are here only to watch your parade
• best system : we've heard that before
• i know better : never seen that example, but you never know :)
• 4wealth : we will all lose our shirt if we don't listen to you
• bizman : uh, sir, we are all here to build our businesses

I could fill pages and pages of examples as ridiculous as these.

All these display names are little variations or real ones I've seen on different sites.

BTW, using as profile picture something like :

• nature
• a baby
• a drawing
• no picture at all, i.e. totally white, don't laugh, I've seen that here
• Mickey Mouse
• Brad Pitt
• A drop dead gorgeous girl named Jonathan ( I know Louise, I wrote that one before, your LOL reaction has imprinted it in my mind )
• a car
• a plane
• clouds
• a fish

Well, you get the idea.

It's better to use a real picture of you, AND use that same picture on every site, people will recognize you and send contact requests.

BTW, that last tip applies to the Display name too.
