Unsure about my business model
I'm one of those who always has doubts about theirself. I've never been the overly confident about my skills, even though I can easily optimise and develop a website.
The problem is, this self doubt has consistently played on my mind and gave me the following thoughts about my online activity:
- what can you do that nobody else can?
- people are already doing what you want to do
- how can you make money from this?
- will people read this?
- what will make you stand out?
Do people often run into these mental blocks? I honestly don't know whether to continue or not. Yes I can do product reviews but there are hundreds of people out there who do the same, there's no point even trying with WordPress tutorials due to the authorities like WPBeginner... Any thoughts ladies and gents?

Wow that's a big number of blocks. If you start out believing that then you will fail! As Henry Ford once said
"whether you think you can, or you can't the chances are you're right!"
The first one is the most obvious one only you can create your website because only you have your memories, dreams, aspirations experiences and everything else that makes you unique therefore your site will be unique
Did you answer those questions?
This is my spin on it...
- what can you do that nobody else can? [put your unique spin on it]
- people are already doing what you want to do [so? they aren't doing it like you would, cuz they aren't you and they don't think like you]
- how can you make money from this? [lots of hard work putting up that quality content that only you can write]
- will people read this? [YES! And they'll comment on it too - and they'll buy your stuff too.]
- what will make you stand out? [YOU! All the little quirks and things that make you unique to the rest of the world. That will keep people coming back. Don't be afraid of who you are cuz there's only one you and only you can do what you do the way that you do it.]
Do you know what you want your niche to be? Doesn't really matter if others are doing it too. Step up and do it better. :D

I appreciate your openness to share your deep concerns and offer you some thoughts for you to consider. 1. Don't feel you have to find a niche no one has. Follow your passion and a niche where you can monetize that passion. 2. Popular broad niches include such categories as online marketing, personal development, dating, etc... 3. If you're serious about living a fulfilling life then make a simple plan and find the determination to stick to your plan. 4. Find friends who you trust and who you can discuss your challenges with and who will hold you accountable to your goals. 5. Get into meditation it holds the key to your tapping into your true self. 6. Laugh, smile, be grateful for who you are and what your life holds. Cheers bro! Jono
