Hello, who are you?

I don't know about you, but when I meet people for the first time I generally say "hello, I'm Debbie" I almost never say "hello, I'm The Chichester Social".

I'm really quite out there aren't I

But I'm making a serious point and you can make a very simple change to your Instagram bio (or any of your business social channel bios) to ensure that your name is right there, front and centre.

So here's your Instagram tips to Edit Your Profile:

1) Make your name and username different to increase opportunities for discovery in search

2) Your name isn't limited to one word—you've got a 30-character cap, so this could work as a boost to the 150-character limit in the bio field. Think about keywords here or even something interesting/memorable.

So the next time someone wants to strike up a conversation, they can say your name. Your actual name.

That's nice, isn't it.

PS let me know if you change yours, I'll say "hi"!
