Do I need to make a new Ezine Articles account for every different pen name I have? I use a different name for every niche I'm in so I don't want the article to say "Written by John" and then the name on my landing page is Frank. I know some article directories let you submit under different names for the same account but I couldn't find if Ezine lets you do this or not. Anyone know?
No you don't need a new account. I looked at the guidelines and found this http://ezinearticles.com/editorial-guidelines.html ''We only allow one author membership account per human but you are allowed to have alternate author names under your account (such as a pen-name or if you are an author's assistant or manage articles for multiple different author's).'' I have ten pen names under one account, and have had the account for two months without any problems.
One account is good. I have 7 or 8 pen names under my account, which I have been using for about 3 years now.
You can use different pen names with ezine. Log into your account. Go to Profile Manager, then Edit Author Names. There you can add, change or edit author names. I'd also suggest keeping it all in 1 account and it will be easier to manage.
Yes as Michelle has linked to in the rules, you not only CAN use multiple pen names on EzineArticles for your acount, you MUST do so if you want to use different pen names while still playing by the rules. Creating multiple EZA accounts for yourself is technically not allowed.
Ezine is great with offering the option for using pen names but you are correct, they want them all under one account. I believe then do track that too. Good luck with the article marketing!
