How to Apply for A handle and username on the Weibo page

You might have heard about the opportunity to apply for a handle and username on the Weibo page, but you might be saving yourself a lot of trouble. No one’s going to track your posts on Weibo, so you don’t have to worry about violating social media policy by sharing your posts online. In fact, most social media platforms don’t even require you to put in the effort of changing your name or bio. Your best bet is to apply for the handle and username at the same time you are creating your account. This will make it easier for others to associate your account with you and give you more followers. You can also use the same email address that you used to create your account to secure your application.
