You don't need to be an expert to write your blog and deliver value.
All you have to do is help.
I've had conversations with so many referrals who are hesitant to get started blogging about their niche because they think they lack the expertise or the authority.
It's called imposter syndrome and I'm here to tell you there's no reason to feel that way. As long as you have an actual interest in you're niche, you're good to go.
When you're shoulder to shoulder with the people you’re helping, you see exactly what they see. You know exactly where their pain points are because you've walked the path.

When I'm helping Ana de Armas with her putting game, she has no idea I've never picked up a golf club in my life. But my passion is in helping her. I'm just a good guy like that.
Ok bad example, but have you ever seen a friend who had a camera you'd thought about buying. When you ask them how they like it you don't stop to ask first if they're a professional photographer or if they've made money with that camera, right? Of course not. That's not what's important to you. You want to know the usability of it, how they enjoyed it on their trip, etc.
As an affiliate marketer, no matter your niche, you're that friend giving advice on the products and services that can help people just like you.
Set that mindset and you're good to go!
That's all there is to it 👍🏼
So take the pressure off!
Instead of trying to act like a genius, just focus on what you’ve actually learned. If you figured out how to fix a problem this morning, that answer is going to feel like finding gold to someone having that same problem tonight.
