http://www.thecreativepenn.com/7steps- Why you would choose to use different author names for different brands. Why I write under Joanna Penn (non-fiction), J.FPenn (thrillers and dark fantasy) and also Penny Appleton (sweet romance co-written with my Mum)
- Brand represents a promise to the reader - so readers of my different books expect different things. There is not much crossover. If you have very different audiences, then different author names is a good idea e.g. children's books and horror and/or erotica
- Big data and why your book metadata helps the algorithms to find your audience. If you write different types of books under different names, you will see different Also-Boughts (people who bought this also bought that)
- If you want to keep an author name secret, then use a pseudonym. This might apply if you write something that doesn't fit with your profession, or if you are worried about judgement
- Gender neutral pen-names - opting out of 'gender' with initials
- Watch the spacing when you use initials
- But do use initials or middle names if your author name is already taken e.g. even if your name IS Dan Brown, choose something else :)
- Say your name out loud and see if it easily works out loud e.g. F is a tough initial :)
- You might choose a different name in order to fit into a specific culture e.g. Anglicising a 'foreign' name for a US/UK market. I share some examples.
- If you write super-fast and you're traditionally published, you could separate your audience with different names e.g. Nora Roberts /JD Robb
- Check you can get the URL of your author name
- Think about this as a long-term career - how we came up with Penny Appleton

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
