So I've been doing finance writing for the site Seeking Alpha on and off for a few years and the money has been quite good but I feel it could be so much more.

My issue is that the site only lets you keep one account per name. Going through the forums here I see a lot of guides for setting up multiple accounts on sites like Facebook or Reddit, my question is wether this could be possible with the site I mentioned and if some kind soul here could guide me through it. I'm relatively new to "black hat stuff", but I get the gist of it.

The process for the site is as following.
- create account to be able to submit the first article, I normally use outlook
- submit article and then get prompted to fill out credentials/personal information
- information includes: name, last name, date of birth, address, postal code, city, state, country and phone number.
- submitting as a US citizen is the only one that doesnt require an immediate ID upload to the site.

After this is put in along with uploading a profile picture and doing a generic description of your profile for other people the article is left pending until the sites "verification process" passes your account. I've understood this is a fully automated system which just gives out a green or red light for the staff which then lets them continue with the application.

The whole process gets shit down because of the "credentials" aren't green lit which I am confused as to why. I've made sure to cross reference them across several sites and even use .gov sites like parcel finders to find owner names and so on to substantiate the profile.

I am now in the dark as to why this is happening so I am turning to this great community which I feel could help me out here with this.

Thank you and peace out!

It sounds like you're extremely determined to get the most out of your work as a finance writer. That's excellent! Instead of trying to get around Seeking Alpha's verification mechanism, I would suggest that you focus on building your credibility and income in the appropriate way. Instead of making a lot of accounts, think about pitching to other well-known finance sites or perhaps launching your own blog or Substack to make money in different ways. In the long run, building a better personal brand and portfolio will lead to more stable, higher-paying job prospects.
 
Seeking Alpha’s system is tough to bypass. Fake info often gets flagged. Best move is to focus on growing one legit account black hat risks aren’t worth it here.
 
If automation flags your details, try changing your writing style per account. The algorithm might match tone, not just data.
