Using real name in earning sites

[Nomad]

When I started my online work I used my real name to sign up with the websites. However, after many years I stopped using my real name and chose screen name., I had to stop because I was being trolled on many places. Some of the sites where I signed up a long time ago, I still have my real name. For instance, on Fiverr and Upwork I use my real name and photo.

I think it's valid on freelancing platforms but for other platforms you should use other name

For privacy sake, one should create a pseudo brand that they use to be active on earning sites. One should not use their real names.

No, I don't use my real name on online sites for security and privacy reasons.

I used to use my real name when I first started freelancing online. But I soon realized that using my real name could make me vulnerable to scams, so I stopped doing it.

I never used my real name, it is not advisable. We can easily be traced by some bad elements, especially in PayPal.

I always use my real name on every site I am on. I never had a problem from using my real name on any site.

It is delicate if we will use our real name on the web, there are many scammers and hackers this time. Let us always be safe.

Do you guys use real name on social media platform like Facebook and Instagram? Don't you think social media sites are the main culprit in terms of violating our privacy.

I am using my real name on media. I agree with you that there are culprits on media like facebook but the6 Facebook Meta helped me. My account was hacked by 4 different hackers.

Never in whatever earning site. Too dangerous, especially considering my real data are a true rarity (in my former country, only a very few people have my same first name, cause Israeli origin and in my Latin current country, that's only me). Along years, I have skipped whatever earning site obliging to use our real data.

Do you guys use real name on social media platform like Facebook and Instagram?

I have never liked the idea, but I was compelled to use my real data in my first Facebook account. In that occasion I couldn't skip the Facebook account, despite I hated too much the idea to have one with real data, because I was a lawyer trainee (it was the reason to open that Facebook account), so I hadn't any other choice.

During my early days on the online earning world, l too used my real names. However as time went by l chose a username. I just can't withstand using my real names on earning websites.
