My Secret Double Life as a Blogger

8
226 followers

Can't believe I'm writing this.. but i feel like it might one of the reasons I haven't moved forward and further that what I thought i would..

Unconsciously, I feel like an IMPOSTER?!

I'm a mum. A wage earner. A partner. A friend. But do I say blogger? An affiliate marketer? A website creator??

I get up and do my motherly, wifely, earthling duties and when i have spare time, i tip-tap away on my macbook, posting and liking and sharing and typing.. I've come to realise that my family and friends don't have the slightest idea that i have a website up. That I'm learning how to market n network. That i have this new found confidence online.

Am i the only one? Is there anybody else out there like me?

You know what...I'm gonna tell 'em.. I'm gonna post it on my facebook and say 'oi, mate, take a geezer at this but' - that's aussie for 'guys, look at this' haha

I'm standing Peter Pan styles! Hands on hips! I got this! Show em what u got..

My parents, husband and a couple of very close friends know I'm doing things online - but a majority of everyone else I know have zero idea. They haven't even seen my sites, they don't even know I have sites. So, yes, it does feel like a double life at times!

Thanks for commenting NEH.. Good to know theres a few more double agents out there! hehe

Actually Jewel, you are not the only one. I have been doing this now for short of 2 months and I have not directly shared what I am doing even with my wife. Oh, she has some idea. But, I carved out a plan to share later but now that I am about to go public with the new website promoting WA I have decided to tell her before she sees the facebook page. Its funny, as soon as I registered my Twitter account, I mean not even 30 minutes later I had followers who happen to be people with whom I have various levels of acquaintances so you really won't be able to hide it for long anyway. Best wishes to you on your journey.

Thankyou for your comment.. I think i was worried I would suck at this haha but i reckon I'm doing alright!

You go and show 'em all! :)

your standing Peter Pan style too! Love it! xx

Hi Jewel,
Yes, I feel somewhat the same. My husband kind of knows what I'm up to, but not sure he really gets it. I think he thinks I'm 'playing' on the computer. When I earn my first commission, he'll be the first to hear about it. Then maybe he'll get it. I don't know if he really believes it will happen.
I've only told a couple of people about my website but haven't shared the link or done any promotion on social media yet. Waiting to write a few more posts and add a few more affiliate links in there. It's a lot of work (as you know), as my next few posts may require quite a bit more research. But I'm sure that when I am ready to share it widely, folks are gonna be WOW'd! I'm sure you'll WOW them too!
Best of luck to you and let us know how it goes when you do share it.

Yeah my partner looks over my shoulder and i explain to him what i'm doing but are they ever really listening?? Not unless cake or $$ is involved! haha I think if i share it, i'd probably get more organic traffic.. that would be from my mums alone!! thanks for commenting! thought i was the only one x

I feel you are doing right thing for you and this is only that matters. You tell them when you find appropriate, and enjoy all the process. Best.

Thankyou for commenting.. I think at first I doubted myself, but this whole process has given me confidence (and im talking tech-wise,cos i'm not too shy really)
