Registering for Ezine acct...Should I use my real name?

9 replies
1st time opening up an Ezine acct. I know that I can have multiple pen names but I is it ok to use my real name in the registration process or should I give some phony pseudonym?

Do you WF vets use your real name?

Also.....I have my initial ten articles ready to go. They have absolutely nothing to do with IM. They're plain, ordinary "feel good" articles with the sole intent to pass the initial requirements. Can I submit all ten at once???



Thanks!!!!

    Yes - you have nothing to gain at all by not using your real name when registering with EZA. I may be wrong, but I believe they actually require it.

    It will never appear on their website if you don't want it to. Just create a pen-name and submit under that name.

    Yes, but 10 is the limit, until they "assess" you.

    You might like this little thread.

    Good luck!

    I used my real name. Alexa's right in that you don't have to have your name appear with your subject. And with some of the articles I write...that's a good thing. Haha.

    i never use my real name unless it is absolutley required. 2 years ago i sign up for a number of social sites to meet locals in a new neighborhood i moved into: meetup.com and stuff like that. randomly i did a google search of myself some time later and found that my name was all over the the 1st 3 pages. i showed my dad and he was like "wtf". needless to say i never reveal my real name now unless it is required.

      That's a good point. I hadn't really thought of that. Thankfully, my last name makes me pretty google proof.

    Use your own name when signing up for sure, you can change to pen names once you get in if you're using affiliate marketing a lot to different products, yes you can submit your 10 articles at once, but I think Alexa is correct in saying it's capped at that till they review them.

      I'm proud of my product so I use my real name. I'm not hiding anything. Now if I was selling some of those sketchy "get rich" ebooks like some of you guys are I would not use my real name.

    that really depends on what type of articles yuo would be publishing and for what purpose. i have an account there with my real name where i publish some seo articles linking to my seo site so i dont want to publish them under fake name. however, i do have couple of other pen names where i publish various other articles. you can use your real name for one author profile and have one or 2 other pen names if you wish. when submitting articles, you just pick the author yuo want to submit under

      You can use your real name to sign up, but I’d use a pen name to post articles.

      I like building niches around pen names, that way each personality is an expert in a specific niche.

        Yup. People tend to believe in a person that writes about nothing but their niche.
