You Don’t Have to Be An Expert to Offer Expert Advice
The world doesn’t need another expert. It needs you.

I know, I know. This one sounds like a total contradiction.
But let me explain.
The creator’s self-denial
As content creators, I think we have a tendency to deny ourselves permission to share the things we’ve learned, simply because we don’t consider ourselves to be “experts” in our various industries.
For instance, you might have a pretty solid handle on how to build an audience on social media. You might know some killer engagement methods, or the best way to construct an irresistible post. You might’ve developed a foolproof system for growing a following on a particular platform, and you know for a fact that it works.
But because you don’t consider yourself to be an expert in audience growth, you keep that information to yourself.
Another example: as an author, you could be the MVP when it comes to writing dialogue. Your character interactions leap off the page, grab your readership by the scruff of the neck and pull them into your story. You might have dialogue down, but because you refuse to think of yourself as having an expertise in it, you don’t share your skillset with the outside world (ie. the internet).
That’s a damn shame if you ask me.
