3 Ways To Kill Your Self-Doubts When Writing Online

Before we dive in, quick update:

I’m starting a “30 Days To $1K”.

This is a 4-week coaching program to help you earn your first $1 (if you’ve never earned money online before).

Since this is a new program, I’m only taking one client in April. I will offer a full refund if you don’t get results.

The calls are one hour long every week The first one is mandatory -- this will help me create the best strategy for you. The next 3 calls are optional. But we need to chat via Twitter every week so we could implement the strategy together.

Here’s an overview of what I'll help you with:

• Week 1: Build Your Credibility. Establish your online presence and credibility to attract potential clients.

• Week 2: Generate Leads. Learn effective strategies to attract and nurture leads, ensuring a steady stream of potential customers.

• Week 3: Craft Your Irresistible Offer. Develop a compelling service-based business offer that resonates with your target audience.

• Week 4: Start Charging Clients. Implement pricing strategies and confidently charge for your services, turning leads into paying clients.

For today’s letter, we’ll talk about an important factor if you are writing online (or want to start):

Confidence.

Not all people have the courage to publish online. But remember it’s your duty to create as a human being.

Steven Pressfield said it best,

“Every breath we take, every heartbeat, every evolution of every cell comes from God and is sustained by God every second, just as every creation, invention, every bar of music or line of verse, every thought, vision, fantasy, every dumb-ass flop and stroke of genius comes from that infinite intelligence that created us and the universe in all its dimensions, out of the Void, the field of infinite potential, primal chaos, the Muse. To acknowledge that reality, to efface all ego, to let the work come through us and give it back freely to its source, that, in my opinion, is as true to reality as it gets.”

So kill all your self-doubts today.

Here’s how you can start:

Realize that people don’t care (and that’s a good thing)

“People don’t care about what I say”

This thought used to stop me from posting content online.

Why would people listen to me? There are more credible people out there. There is more valuable information they can learn from. And I would only waste my time writing.

But it’s ridiculous not practice of you want to get better at something.

So I reframed this thinking into positive reinforcement.

As a beginner, you don’t want people to care what you have to say.

Why?

Because as a beginner, you’re bound to create crappy content and make mistakes. And you don’t want people to remember that. Just like you don’t want people to pay attention when you’re just learning how to ride a bike.

It’s a great advantage to be able to practice without judgment from others. You don’t have to worry about “Think Before You Click.”

Unlike famous people, you can express your opinions and contrarian views without getting in trouble.

Reframe posting into the void as a great advantage

“But posting into the void is useless”

It’s only useless if you don’t study why no one is reading your work. As a beginner, all you want is feedback.

You don’t need thousands of views.

You don’t need hundreds of comments.

You don’t even need 10 likes.

Imagine a post getting 0 likes vs a post that gets 1 like.

That’s 100% feedback!

And your job is to analyze why the other post did better.

Is it because of the topic? Then post more about that topic. If that topic gets a few likes, that’s great. If it doesn’t, then maybe it’s the formatting. Then try posting with the same format. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, then maybe it’s the tone, etc.

People always say they’re posting into the void after a few tries. Then, they decide to give up without asking themselves how to improve.

Yes, it could be frustrating to not have anybody read your work.

But that’s also the fun part.

It’s challenging to get feedback but it’s also enticing.

Think about what makes you unique

“I’m not confident with sharing my story”

Nobody is.

The reason why I feel like an imposter all the time is that I’ve always just posted what I learned from others.

It’s like rewriting an entire book into an article.

But people don’t like that. They’d rather Google information and learn faster/better.

If I want to set myself apart, I need to share my story.

• How did this information help me?

• Why is this information relevant to me?

• How is this information going to solve my problems?

When you answer these questions, you’re not just posting information or bragging about your story. You’re becoming useful to the reader because they learn from your insights.

As Alex Hormozi says, "teach them the lessons without the scar."

That's it for today!

I hope today's letter helps you publish more. Again, if you need help check out 30 Days To $1K.
