How to be a sockpuppet and never get caught in three simple steps:
 * 1) Make sure your username has no resemblance whatsoever to any Wikipedia username you've used in the past, and is also not similar to someone else's username.
 * 2) Don't edit any pages that you've edited in the past.
 * 3) Follow all of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies, not just the ones that caused you to be blocked or banned.

While it's still possible you might get caught be a Checkuser investigation, following these three simple steps will make it almost impossible for anyone to realize you're a sockpuppet, thus lessening the chances of a Checkuser investigation in the first place.

(There are methods of ensuring you're not caught by a Checkuser investigation, but they can be expensive.)
