Rule no. 1: Never post identifying images of yourself.
Simple, right?
Nope. This includes pictures of houses, road signs, your dog with the collar visible, anything that could lead back to your location.
If you do want to post images, ensure they're cropped closely.

Rule no. 2: Never disclose your location online.
This includes state, city, where you ate, where you drank coffee, do not even post images of water bottles or beer because some of them can be tracked back to the country you live in.

Rule no. 7: Vary your social media usernames. It doesn't matter if it's a video game forum or a meme website, using the same username can allow people to link you to other websites.
Rule no. 8: Do not even post your first name online.
Even doing so increases the chances of being doxed, and is even more likely if your name isn't a common one.
