Trying to manage my introvert (self-promotion)

I know from conversations that I am not the only shy introvert here at WA. There are probably many of us. But I'm struggling with my introvert self at the moment.

She tends to hold me back on self-promotion. I have a hard time with it. It feels like bragging. And that probably goes back to childhood, dealing with an extrovert sister. Neither introvert nor extrovert is necessarily bad, but they can have their issues. And I've never completely won the battle over mine, it seems.

I'm more of a giver than a receiver. I listen more than I talk. (although I do enjoy writing).

So now, as I'm writing my current sites, she (the introvert) still nags. Not a problem when I'm writing factual information, I suppose. But it does come into play when I want to monetize. I feel like I'm bragging, begging, or just not being me.

Yes, I know. Just tell the facts.

And I do that. But then part of the process is being willing to really put myself out there. And that is a problem for me

So, today and all through the upcoming month of August, I am going to work on the monetizing parts of my site.*** Reviews. Products.

I'm going out of my comfort zone a bit and asking people to read these posts. One day at a time, I'm going to make sure I do something each day that works toward the monetizing.

In fact, I've added this chore (yes, it's a chore for me, whereas writing is a pleasure) to my daily plans. And I'm writing about it here to make myself a bit more accountable.

Would any introvert friends like to join me in being a bit more self-promoting (of our affiliate sites, at least) for the month of August? (Did you notice that I actually started by asking here? It's a start!)
