Blogger Lift discussion

I read somewhere that you should make sure all your social media and goodreads accounts have the same name as your blog. They said it could be confusing if followers try to find you on different platforms if some have your blog name and some your regular name. That being said, do have a separate goodreads account for your blogs and social media?? I was thinking of just making my personal goodreads account into my blog account.

I don't as my blog name would be too long as a username and I have cobloggers, so it wouldn't make sense to share a Goodreads account with them. It would just be confusing when we could all use our own accounts rather than adding on an additional password.

As for Facebook, I do have a separate page, but I personally don't feel FB is necessary because you don't get much traffic. However, it's handy to have if you want to join groups without using your personal account.

I think as long as you have consistency with the names, you should be fine. There are a few people I know who use their regular name but their handle/username are their blog names. Others just have their website and then all the usernames are consistent across the board - that's what I do: my social media is @HannahSophiaLin but my blog address (and Goodreads) is my blog name (although I've definitely thought of changing my Goodreads URL so it matches with the others).
