Criticism can certainly discourage you from writing in the first place, and it also can disguise itself as perfectionism when it comes to your content marketing.
If you delay publishing your writing â while you try to improve your content before anyone else reads it â you are likely trying to avoid criticism.

Writing a blog for your business helps prospects get to know, like, and trust you while you educate them on what they need to know to do business with you.
You naturally want readers to get a positive impression of your products or services. Anything less would be disappointing or downright devastating.
The false belief associated with perfectionism is that if everything is âperfect,â youâll protect yourself from someone pointing out something you did wrong or something they donât like (which is impossible to control).

Letâs imagine a scenario where no one criticizes your writing.
Itâs not that far-fetched of a concept because it happens on many blogs every single day ⌠blogs no one reads.
The downside of a lack of criticism is that your blog probably doesnât have a substantial number of readers yet or your content doesnât meaningfully impact the people it does reach.
Criticism can be unpleasant, but itâs not the most harmful thing for your blog. Obscurity is.

When you create content that isnât boring and forgettable, there will always be someone who doesnât like what you do.
Keep creating anyway.Â
A lot of people say âthereâs no such thing as âperfect.ââ
When youâre passionate about your work, aiming for âperfectâ may be necessary. But what you end up with is even better than âperfectâ ⌠because itâs a creation youâve made that no one can take away from you.
You can care about quality and produce meaningful work without driving yourself crazy.

And as you continue to get comfortable with the uncomfortable aspects of publishing, you strengthen your resilience and build your confidence.
Confidence is vital for content marketers. Itâs what enables you to stand for something that matters, think of remarkable content ideas, and attract prospects who identify with your brand.
The more you produce, the less afraid you are of mistakes. Your confidence takes their power away.

Your best writing that connects with the right prospects emerges when youâre actually doing the work.
Since you start to reveal more about your point of view over time, will the wrong people also decide that youâre not for them? Sure.
Keep creating anyway.

If a good idea fits into a bloggerâs strategy, why would they wait to publish a post about it?
Itâs typically a desire to wait until they have a bigger audience. Avoid that attitude and remember that everyone starts by serving the audience they currently have (or, when you donât have any readers yet, the audience you aim to attract to your business).
Follow through with your idea, rather than hold off until a seemingly more ideal time.
Youâll always have a chance to write about the topic again in the future â and with new insights.

Itâs smart to use ideas that fit into your content marketing strategy right away, even if you wish you were already a bigger influencer.
When you use one of your best ideas and recognize the content is special, repurpose it in different formats to reach more people.
A blog post will attract readers, but your target audience might also search for videos on YouTube. A version of that blog post that leads viewers back to your website can be put on YouTube so more people can discover and connect with your story.

Even though it may be your goal to build your audience, it can be scary to expose your work to more people.
Content is your chance to creatively position information in a new way â a way that your prospects want to hear it.
Arenât you more interested in finding the information you need from people you know, like, and trust? Those noteworthy bloggers write despite their perfectionist tendencies or fears of criticism.
So, keep creating the work that gets people to know, like, and trust you.
And publish it regularly on your website.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
