Using a Pseudonym to Talk to Real People

[AnitaHampl]

I have a niche web presence (Twitter, blog, email) in a pen name/pseudonym.



I'm legit, my business niche is legit, and I contacted a vendor about an affiliate opportunity that I noticed with his product. He emailed me back to my pen name and asked me to CALL HIM to discuss my Marketing Plan.

Yikes!

I am not likely to promote his product (it's a thing, not a digital file) on any other niches, but I just feel kind of odd play-acting this role. Luckily, my alter-ego IS a woman LOL.
I really want to keep this identity separate from "me" - so as not to confuse my regular brick & mortar clients, and so I can blog more freely about people LOL.

I'd love some insights from people who are actually using pseudonyms.

Thanks!

You know, Anita - these are the types of things I've always wondered about with pseudonyms. I can't wait to see some response in this thread!

I'm afraid its like a secret socity's handshake: you can't know it unless you know it . . .

Ahh, Loretta:


There are lots of local friends I'd love to be able to say that too. (In fairness, probably more of them would like to say that to ME ) ops

Seriously, your tips sound great! For this particular vendor, since they are new to affiliate marketing themselevs, I will go ahead and call and tell him I use a DBA. But for established internet marketing types, I will use your suggestion re: chat. I love it, and truly appreciate your response.

Thanks, Anita

~p.s. I wonder if replays of the webinar is available/findable? Anyone?
