How to Create a Custom URL for Your Facebook Profile

Do you know that just like your Twitter and Google Plus custom URL, you can also create your Facebook profile custom URL to make your profile more authentic and realistic? For example, AllUsefulInfo’s Twitter URL is https://twitter.com/allusefulinfo, so in the same manner, you can modify your Facebook profile username to make it look professional.

You can choose any custom URL or username for your Facebook profile but make sure that you can modify your Facebook profile username only once, so be careful while creating the custom URL for your Facebook profile.

Here are a few guidelines you should have in mind before creating the custom URL for your Facebook account:

• You can’t claim a username someone else is already using.
• I already told you that you can only change your username once. So, choose a username you’ll be happy with for the long term.
• Usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period (“.”).
• Usernames are not case sensitive and periods (“.”) and capitalization don’t count as a part of a username. For example, johnsmith55, John.Smith55 and john.smith.55 are all considered the same username.
• Usernames must be at least 5 characters long and can’t contain generic terms or extensions (ex: .com, .net).

Now, it’s time to tell you how can you change your Facebook profile username or create a custom URL for your Facebook profile.

Create a Custom URL for Your Facebook Profile

Login to your Facebook account, click on the drop-down (triangle) button on the Facebook notification bar, and choose Settings.

You will be redirected to the General Account Settings. Here, click on the Edit link just in front of the Username section.

Now, you need to choose a username, and as I told you already be careful while changing your username because it can’t be changed again anyhow. So, enter a new username for your profile carefully and save the changes.

As you can see in the above picture I’ve created a custom URL for my Facebook profile that can be accessed through facebook.com/EasyRaman or facebook.com/easyraman.

So, by using this procedure you can also create a custom URL for your Facebook profile just like mine. Also, let me know how do you find this article and ask if any questions in your mind. Good day 🙂
