Are you afraid to Blog?

Are you afraid to blog? Are you afraid of the "A" list bloggers? You really shouldn't be. These guys that have these high traffic blogs are no different than the rest of us. They just are not afraid to do things. Sometimes they might make people mad and other times they might help people out. But no matter what it is, they do not hesitate to do it.

A lot of people have great ideas to write about. The problem is, they spend too much time telling them self that they should not write about it. And by doing that, the post never get written. I fear everything, but I am not afraid of anything. And that is the way you have to look at life in general.
But people seem to let that fear that they have stop them from doing things. They always use the phrase "what if". What if this doesn't work, what if they do not like it, what if I do not get any responses. That is not the way to look at things. Try say lets see if this works, lets see if they like it, lets see if I get any responses. If you do that I guarantee you will have better success.

I have spent most of my life either volunteering in the emergency services, and for a short time I worked as a communications officer for a police dept. In that line of work there is always fear in everything that is done. But we are never afraid to do it. We let the fear drive us to success. And you have to do the same when you are online.

I know there are many of you that want to make a living doing what you love. And doing it on the computer can be a great way to accomplish that. And it can be done. So for all of you that have thought about things that you would like to try, whether it be a post, a contest, or something that has nothing to do with computers. Let yourself see how much success you can have at it. Can't never could do anything, and it is alright to fear, but you should never be afraid.

You make some good points in this post. You won't find out if you can succeed until you try.

A-listers are people just like the rest of us... the same? I don´t think so, they got their traffic through hard work, they got where they are for taking those first steps, and continue taking more and more steps, without getting set back by failures and mistakes...

great post, giving a nice little kick in the behind to make us take action, thanks for that!
