 I confess I have a confession to make, I often felt like an imposter, like a fraud in professional life. Ok there I said it! I guess it already started in my first job as an ICT girl with CSC. I was hired even though I didn’t know a thing about ICT. NOTHING. And what was even worse, I was sent to this big company where I was supposed to be the young IT expert. But I was not. Honestly that felt really awkward. I felt out of place, nervous, stupid, intimidated. …. But I got out of it alive How? I’ll tell you in a sec. At other moments in my professional life I was confronted with that same impostor syndrome: As a consultant, I was sent off to companies in order to manage some important reorganizations, I was sent off to train people about things I barely knew about, etc… So I felt like a fraud. Luckily no one else thought I was a fraud. I told myself that the ideal way not to feel like that is to take the matter in my own hands an start my own company. But also then, I sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable when I have to tell people what my company is all about and how I want to help other people build their personal brand and business. “Who am I to claim that authority??”. When people start to blog, they often have that feeling "who am I to start blogging and to claim to be an expert?!" Do you recognize that too? The imposter syndrome

 What's the dumbest thing you could do when you have a blog?
Using your articles only once. Let's be honest: a good article takes effort. Even professional bloggers spend a lot of time and energy in creating an article for their blog. It requires at least a few hours of thinking and writing to get a really outstanding one. By using a certain method, I have restricted my own blogging time to about two hours a week, but it could cost you a whole day (or even more). Isn't it a shame to just send your article to your email list and limit social sharing to once on your favorite social platforms? That's a sure way to never succeed with your blog... Are you determined to grow your business with your articles? Then you should at least take more action to spread them. Read these seven easy ways below to reuse your articles.
