Would Content Creator be considered a business?

I don't want my followers knowing my real name or where I live, I use this account for personal use as well and would like to keep my "business" and personal transactions separate. I'd also like to know if I can have multiple businesses under a single account as I'm also a freelance web developer but I've used my PayPal as normal since I provide my real name for professional purposes in person and online, so I don't mind those clients knowing my real name.

we are allowed 2 accounts-business and personal.

we can have multiple email addresses (6-8) per account,but these email addresses do not have separate account balance,so if you have 6 emails for one acount,there is only 1 account balance.

as for address,buyers do not get your address from Paypal,but they do see the ship from address,you can rent a mail box for such.

Some venues would ask you to enter your phone number for phone contact.

Each of your separate business operations or entities would require a separate PayPal business account.  So, it depends on how your business is reported on you 1040-C form.  Each business would require a seprate 1040-C submission to the IRS and then each would require a separate PayPal account.  The same would be true for each separate business you have registered with your state for sales tax collection or for income tax.

Each separate business requires separate accounting records and, therefore, separate PayPal account.
