Writing is hard.

But it doesn't have to be.

Here as 5 ways to fight writer's block:
Let me break it down for you.

Writer's Block is a dumb excuse you use to hide the fact you're afraid.

There's no such thing as writer's block.

Writer's block is a hoax.

There's only fear.
You fear embarrassment – "will it be good enough?"

You fear failure – "will it flop?"

Control the fear, and you'll never run out of things to say.

So let me reveal 5 ways to conquer your fear so you can write with bullet-proof confidence.
## 1. Make it painful to fail

Writer's Block is based on fear, so battle this fear with a bigger fear.

Let's say you have a goal of writing 500 words every day.

Now assign a penalty for failing to write these words.

Make a wager with a friend.
Or donate money to a political party you hate.

Make it painful to break a promise to yourself.
2. Define your mission

What problem do you want to help people solve?

Your mission is to show them how to fix it.

What BIG IDEA do you want your readers to get out of the content you are writing?

Define it. Then write about it.
## 3. Read outside of your domain of expertise

Stand out by being creative.

You create new neural pathways in your brain when you read outside your area of expertise. This will help you connect the ideas from different domains in unexpected ways.
4. Write a short story about your day

This simple exercise will do wonders for your storytelling ability.

When you're in doubt, write about something that happened to you today.

What's the moral of the story, what's the takeaway from that?
5.. Pay attention to your body

I've noticed that I write more fluently when I'm in a good mood.

So I take full advantage of my mood.

Keep an eye on your body and use different moods to produce different kinds of writings.
In summary:

1. Make it painful to fail
2. Define your mission
3. Read outside of your domain of expertise
4. Write a short story about your day
5. Pay attention to your body

Bitcoin is not the future because you’re broke. Focus on making money first. Then worry about investing your money.
Too many people focus on the shit they cannot buy at the moment.

Like bruv look at your bank account.

It’s minus $50,000 because of your student loan and crazy spending sprees.
Instead of figuring out how to invest your non-existent money

Find a problem you solve, Find people with that problem, and get paid to solve that problem

You can grow a social media following by investing 30 minutes a day into creating content (and posting) instead of scrolling down your feed.

This was how I started.

As my following size grew, I spent more time creating and networking.
Going gung ho into content creation is dumb for most people.

You have a job.
You have a family.
You have other responsibilities.

You don't have enough free time.

So start small. Develop the habit of posting. And post more as your gain traction.
At first, it's best to schedule your posts.

The reason is obvious.

Posting a bunch of times during 30 minutes doesn't work.

You MUST space out your post.

So scheduling your stuff is MANDATORY.

At first, I used Buffer.

Then I used Hootsuite.

And then I discovered @Hypefury.

Someone asked me, "how can I find my target audience/niche on Twitter?"

If you're looking to grow your Twitter account, this is the most IMPORTANT thread you'll read in your life.
I never tried to find a 'target audience' or a niche on Twitter.

I tweet about:
* the things I like
* the things I've learned
* the things that have worked for me

Basically, I am my own niche.

So just post about what you know, bro.
Twitter is a tool to amplify your ideas.

And the more followers you gain, the farther your ideas will reach.

With a larger reach, you'll gain more influence.

And with more influence, the more of an authority you'll become in the eyes of your audience.

Content creating is painful.

Mostly because you're limiting yourself.

Here's how to break your limiting beliefs.

So you can grow an audience.
⌛️ Trust in your past

Your achievements have not been given to you.

You've earned them.

Maybe, you still feel you don't deserve success or that people will judge you because you're not the "best" in the world.
But the reality is that there will always be someone you can teach something new, no matter how well known or basic you think your information is.

Never forget that Beginners are an Infinite market.
