multiple pen names

Hi Warriors,

how do you guys/gals go on about securing your identity with multiple pen names in numerous niches. Let's say that you write articles for EZA, and make videos as well. How do you keep a prospect/customer from finding out who you are?

What if they stumble unto your articles and find your videos that you have in different niches. Is there a way to make videos and write articles in different niches and still not give away your identity, for all the niches you are involved with?

Thanks.

    Not sure what you mean?

    I have a dozen pen names out there for different niches. All are a separate identity to the other. Just make sure you use different properties (not sub domains etc)

    Anyway, the only real time you may need to 'secure' a pen name is when you are operating within the IM niche. After all, the buyer of your gardening product (for example) would know nothing of pen names, IM etc.

    Lets say, you are involved in 5 niches. You make videos, write articles and submit em to EZA. I don't want a customer, from one niche to find another vid, I have in another niche that I use a diff pen name in.

        Thanks Alexa, I knew the EZA route w/ diff pen names. I wanted to use, more vids for upcoming projects. Maybe i'll just, stay with articles for now.

    You do have to watch they don't come back to bite you in the ass ...

    Say you have a niche that takes off, start to create your own products and then sell them with paypal ... which will probably share with them your real name (since it's tied to your luverly bank account).

    Been there ... doing that ... doh!

    It hasnt hurt Eben Pagan/David Deangelo - and he does weekend seminars for both... I think its a bunch of worry about nothing... If he can sell 20 Million a year and not have any major issues with it, then I think anybody will be ok...
