Day 7: Crushing The Fear of Posting
Cohort Day
7
Hey there,
Here are some common thoughts people have when starting to write and how we think about them.
❌ “My writing isn’t perfect.”
✅ Perfection is your enemy. You will not create a perfect post. Don’t let this stop you from the most important part of the exercise — publishing.
❌ “I’m not an expert on this topic, what can I offer?”
✅ You don’t have to be an expert to contribute. We’re aiming to create something interesting that will show others that we are knowledgeable, passionate, and interested in a topic.
❌ “Who will read this anyway?”
✅ Building an audience takes time and consistency. But embrace the benefits writing brings on the journey of building an audience — learning about the topic, building a portfolio of posts, and meeting others through your writing.
