    You are NOT allowed to create separate accounts.

    However, you are able to create separate pen names for each niche, which I would recommend.

    Not only isn't it good, but it'll get you banned.

    They're strict about "one account for one person" - as explained in their terms of service, editorial guidelines, blog, or wherever they've managed to hide it away this time.

    What you can and should do is have a different pen-name for each niche, within one author account.

    It's what I've always done and personally, I recommend strongly that you should. You need to take care to stick to that pen-name for that niche everywhere you're dealing with that niche (i.e. on your site/blog for it, in other article directories, on other sites, and so on).

    If readers at EZA notice that the "expert" contributing articles on cauliflower soup recipes is also the same "expert" writing about registry-cleaning software and natural hypertension remedies, it can only ever detract from your credibility. Some people will think it makes you look like "just a marketer promoting anything profitable for himself", and you will lose traffic/sales through that. Using the same name for each niche is all downside and no benefit, in my perception.

      probably a dumb question but how do I do this?

        The ability to do this in within your author dashboard in your main account in the profile manager button along the top navigation bar.
