Face your fears and become a better blogger

This post is based on episode 54 of the ProBlogger podcast.

This week I want to talk about fear. Not about eliminating it or ignoring it, but rather about recognising, harnessing and overcoming it so you can use it to your advantage.

Whether you’re a blogger, podcaster, live streamer or social media user, chances are fear has held you back at some point. Here are some of the most common fears I’ve heard over the years:

“What if nobody reads it?”“What if I hurt someone with what I write?”“What if I don’t write as well as I think I do?”“What if people laugh?”“What if I say something stupid?”“What if I reveal too much about myself?”“What if I fail?”“What if I’m wasting my time?”“What if people steal my content?”“What if I run out of things to say?”“What if I make a promise I can’t keep?”“What if I get attacked or stalked?”“What if my product doesn’t sell?”“What if I get criticized for trying to make money from my blog?”

And I’m sure you could add a few of your own to the list.

When you put yourself and your thoughts out there for other people to read, watch and listen to, it’s natural to fear how those people might respond.

And believe me, you’re not alone.

I’ve faced many of these fears myself, not only with my blogging but also with the ProBlogger events we’ve run over the years. We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into those events, and these fears ran through my head every time:

What if no one shows up?What if no one buys a ticket?What if our speakers don’t arrive?

Fear can be useful

Fear can be very useful. It helped keep early man alive rather than being eaten by sabre-tooth tigers. And even today it stops us from doing things that could endanger our lives (or at least make us think twice about doing them).
