Why I Use Pen Names ?

by ImBizJourney

I choose to use pen names for my affiliate sites. As I build sites and as I start making money from them, I will be sharing with you what is working for me and what is not.

pen-names One thing I cannot share with you are my domain names. I prefer to keep them a secret. Here are my reasons for why I use pen names:

1. Makes business sense for me – One of the primary reasons is to prevent replication of my sites – Please don’t get me wrong here – I am not afraid of competition. If I was then I would not be sharing any of success secrets on this blog. What I am afraid of is someone copying everything – from keywords to title tags to even content. I will share my secrets and it is for you to go do your own research and come up with your own niche ideas.

2. I have more than one affiliate site and will have more in the future – all my sites are in totally different niche – not related at all. Makes no sense if ‘Sandy Naidu’ was the owner of all sites – I prefer to keep them all separate and for them all to have their own brand identity.

Pen names are not new - Authors have used it for hundreds of years. Actors have used it for many years. By using pen name you are not cheating any one. You are only using a different name – everything else remains the same.

I will be creating a brand new affiliate site over the coming weeks – the set up phase will be completed in about two weeks. I don’t outsource this part – I prefer to do it myself because I love setting up new sites – Normally it should be done much sooner than two weeks but the next two weeks I am only working a few hours a week due to some family commitments (my son had a surgery today).

As I create this site, I will share with you details on the domain name purchase, hosting and templates used. And then there will be more posts as I start creating content and start marketing my site. You will find it all on here (all except the domain name). The aim is to create a series of blog posts so that by the end of it you will be able to set up your own and start making money.

I would like to welcome you to come join me on this series and create your own affiliate site along with me.

Best,

  1. I like the second point about branding – I totally agree with you Sandy. It looks unprofessional when you see in the footer of the site 30 links to various websites from all possible niches beginning at spa and natural cosmetics and through iPhones and web hosting – all under the same name. It looks like – come on, guy pick up a niche and stick to it! Thank you for insightful post Sandy.
