Here’s how to be five people at the same time without confusion.
When I became an editor on Medium in the ILLUMINATION series of publications I found that I needed multiple accounts to handle the duties. I also wanted distinct writing identities to cover diverse topics, such as erotica and Christian philosophy without confusing my readers.
I eventually had five different paid accounts, each with different names and social media handles, on Medium.
Keeping track of all the details could have been a nightmare but I used a password manager to handle access – without needing to remember dozens of different passwords – and instead of buying multiple computers, one for each account so as to keep cookies and other settings from cross-contaminating accounts, I found a way to do this with Google Chrome profiles.
I use Chrome Profiles to open multiple windows. Each one operates independently, with its own logged-on accounts, cookies and so on.
I use a different colour palette for each window so as not to select the wrong one by mistake. Each window maintains its own Google account which I use to log in to different platforms.
More details on Medium and Substack.
Let me know if this helps solve an identity problem, please!
