Happy name – domains, social media handles & more!

I’m always looking for tools to help my start-up clients and entrepreneurs. I’m certainly not new to doing domain searches and looking up social media handles (i.e. going to Facebook to see if the new desired company name already exists as a Company Facebook fanpage or if someone grabbed the custom URL – facebook.com/companyname).I recently was introduced to HappyName.com, and am QUITE HAPPY about.
HappyName.com makes searching easy. It checks for
- Domain availability (versus GoDaddy.com)
- Toll Free number matching name
- Facebook “social handle” / name availability
- Twitter, Youtube, Instagram and Pinterest “handle” availability
- One can even do a free US Trademark search
Very impressive Jamison Hill. Very impressive indeed.

How to use Twitter for your business

Repost of Twitter’s Lindsay Logan (@wingersf), Small Business Team
There is some fantastic content here. Instead of “wasting time” recreating content, I know that time is of the essence to get valuable information out to those in need – YOU. From small business teams, non-profits and start-ups, we get it. Resources are key. AND you can’t pay guys like us for everything.

One of the best ways to learn about marketing on Twitter is through real examples from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Recently, we spoke with a group of these companies about how they use Twitter as a business tool, the results they’ve seen, and their tips for success.
We partnered with research firm DB5 to survey 1100 SMB owners and employees in the U.S. Those surveyed work on their company’s digital marketing strategy, and are active Twitter users and advertisers. Visual.ly helped us create an infographic to detail the full survey results, which revealed that SMBs see Twitter as an effective marketing tool that enables them to accomplish their advertising goals.

Interestingly, two-thirds (66%) of respondents believe that they have not yet fully maximized their Twitter presence. As a result, we’ve created a number of educational tools to help SMBs best leverage Twitter:
- Small Business Guide to Twitter
- Instructional video series
- #MktgKickstart tool kit
Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of Twitter, you can also use Twitter Ads to better connect with your target audience and amplify your organic strategy. Learn more about how Twitter Ads can help your business here.
