ProBlogger: What Fears Have You Overcome as a Blogger?

What Fears Have You Overcome as a Blogger? Posted: 19 Aug 2013 08:59 AM PDT Many times when I speak to new bloggers (or Pre-Bloggers) and ask them what might be holding them back from taking their blogs to the next level (or holding them back from starting blogging) the response I get is around ‘fear’. What if nobody reads? What if I can’t write well? What if people laugh… or worse… what if they attack me? What if I say something stupid that might come back to bite me later? The last goes on and on. When I started blogging my own fears resembled those that I listed above pretty closely and over the decade of blogging since I’ve added quite a few more to the list at different points as I faced new challenges and obstacles. One of the sessions I’m planning for this years ProBlogger Event is going to be on smashing through your fears as a blogger and in preparing for it I asked last week for my followers on Twitter to share some of the fears that they’d had that they’ve had to overcome. The response was pretty amazing so I thought it might be a good discussion to have here on ProBlogger. What fears have you overcome as a blogger? Or – if you still have them – what fears are you currently facing as a blogger. I’d love to hear not only the fears you’ve faced in your blogging – but also if you have a moment I’d love to hear your story of how you’ve overcome them (or attempted to).
