Would you sell your social media handle/account for $1000?

[Min George]

If you are offered the sum of $1000 to sell your social media account because the buyer wants to use it for business, would you cash in and sell the social media account or not? Why would you sell or not sell?

Selling a social media account for $1000 might sound tempting at first, but I would personally not accept the offer. The main reason is that a social media account is more than just numbers; it represents personal identity, trust, and relationships built over time. Handing it over to someone else could damage that trust if the buyer uses it in ways that mislead or exploit followers. In addition, most platforms have strict rules against selling accounts, and violating those terms could lead to permanent bans. On the other hand, if the account was purely business-oriented and had no personal ties, selling could be considered as a financial decision, similar to transferring ownership of a brand. Still, I believe the long-term value of maintaining authenticity and control outweighs the short-term cash. Protecting reputation and credibility is worth more than a one-time payment.
