Write online. Create Courses. Make money.

I wish it were that easy as an online creator. I thought it would be easier. But being an online creator, at least for me, was a struggle in so many ways.

The key thing to remember is that everyone struggles, especially in the beginning. For me, I’ve learned a lot about myself when it comes to writing online content.

Here’s what I’ve struggled with and how I’ve learned to overcome it.

1. The Struggle to Stay Consistent

Every since Atomic Habits was released, everyone talks about consistency times a million. I even talk about consistency.

But talking about it is a lot harder than being about it.

As a parent of five kids, I want to be present for them every day. That means my consistency may not line up with the creator who has the perfect serene morning and doesn’t have any kids.

I stopped following them because they weren’t relatable. I struggled with consistency when I gave myself an impossible standard. I have to find what works for me, like you have to find what works for you.

2. The Struggle to Find My Writing Voice
