In episode 117 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one participant asked how to integrate a persona into an IFTTT branded network.
The exact question was:
Absolutely LOVE Hump Day Hangouts and haven't missed an episode since I started watching.
For some reason (probably overthinking), I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around a concept.
I am starting a two author blog (both pen names) and am trying to figure out the best way to structure IFTTT networks.
I am familiar with creating persona networks as separate identities from the brand but am not sure how to integrate the persona into the brand.
Since I already have two google accounts set up for the pen names, the persona accounts are already started. So my thinking is to use one account to create the branded network and the corresponding persona network and then use the other google account to set up the second persona network. This would essentially result in a tier 1 branded network and two tier 1 persona accounts.
I'm wondering if there is an issue with creating a branded account and a persona account from the same google account?
Also since there will be two tier 1 personas, is there any issue with having two YouTube channels syndicate the same content? Would it be better to keep one persona as a separate identity from the brand (ie. NOT link to the money site)?
