Internet Marketing Identity

I would like to separate my IM activities from personal and professional identity as engineer. This is not for spamming or illegal reasons just one of privacy. However, it seems that many platforms are trying to prevent this form happening.

For example I just opened a second FB account in my own name but which will not be connected to my personal FB account or longterm friends. However, looking a bit deeper I find that this is against FB rules and some people say it is illegal.

Well I don't think UK or US Government has passed any laws on multiple facebook accounts, so we can discount that.

Opening the 2nd FB account May 2015 was very easy to do and I have not been asked for any ID from FB. Despite there being screeds of references on FB site to ID being required. What gives here?

Are FB likely to catch up and close my accounts.

How many here are using multiple FB accounts for different business strategies.

    I have a personal page and three "business" pages. It has been that way for years without a single problem... so I don't think you'll run into any trouble setting up your pages the way I've set up mine.

    For your IM activity you could open a page (not a profile) and you can open it with your name, the same of your private account

    The way this works (or is supposed to work) from what I understand and how I've set up some of my stuff is that every person has one individual account - no matter how famous or wealthy or private they are.

    They then can create pages for their businesses, different books, their church activities, etc.

    The two are not related in any discernible way.

    For example, Joe Blow has a private page which he shares with personal friends and family. This has pictures of the wedding and the newborn, etc. that Joe may not want his customers to see.

    Joe then opens up a page for his accounting business, Joe's CPA Services. There is no indication on that page that Joe Blow owns it (unless he's written that on the page) and people that visit that page can't see the pictures and stuff about the kids. They have no way to know who Joe's private friends are or who he's married to or anything like that (unless he shares it).

    Then Joe writes a Kindle book - a romance novel - that may not fit in with his friends from the church which are on his private page nor his CPA clients. Nobody, again, can really tie things together on the book page. Joe could even use his pen name on that page.

    Joe logs into his personal account (he only has one password) and from his personal account can choose to write something on his private page, his book page, or his accounting page.

    Hope that helps a little.

    Mark
