Do you want to start a blog or a podcast but having difficult time getting started? Do you have a YouTube channel, and although you've uploaded a lot of content, you are having hard time being motivated to create new content? Are you afraid of what people will say about your work? Perhaps you don't feel like you've got something unique to share.
There are different versions of this question, but the core of the question is this - how can I make myself get over the emotional hurdle off creating the content?
All these kinds of doubts and fears that people have when it comes to putting yourself out there are natural, and the only way to get over these fears is to create content for the sake of creating value in the world.
Get comfortable with failing in public, and commit to publishing day in and day out. Consistency and persistency is key.
Do it for yourself, and do it because you are making something other people will benefit from. If you create content for money, or for fame, it is not going to work out.
