Aspiring Entrepreneur,

You know, I don’t think you give yourself enough credit. By the mere fact that you’ve had some successes, you are sharing your “experience” and quite frankly your limited expertise to educate others. While it might be limited, it’s still something noteworthy.

It would be awkward if you were a zoologist by trade, but wanted to talk about aeronautical engineering. Anyone can copy text from a book and have understanding from what they read, but the weakness will show once it comes down to conversation.

Keep up the great work, you know more than you give yourself credit for made apparent by your successes.

My site has been the number 1 in Google for the key phrase 'Aspiring Entrepreneur'. It all talks about my own journey towards achieving financial freedom as I share my own experiences on investments, entrepreneurship, personal finance, self-improvement and achieving financial freedom. However, I am not an expert in monetizing it and I have ZERO knowledge when it comes to HTML programming. ;( My last blog post is..Where to Invest Extra Cash?

Great job on your success with your site. Examples like this show that by cornering the market on what you know can benefit you greatly. By establishing yourself as the go to person in your respective field, your traffic respects you and is willing to provide further support.

It’s never easy to maintain especially when the community grows rather large. Expectations may seem unrealistic but dedication from you, the writer, can go a long way.

@Forest – can’t agree with you more on this. You’ll be doing yourself a dis-favor by taking on a blog topic that you’re not an expert on.

Thanks for dropping in

After running a site without true expertise, you realized how hard it was. I believe that anyone can keep it going at the begining, but over time the stress of having to compensate for lack of knowledge can be overwhelming and create a lot of stress. Soon aftewards writing becomes a chore, and not as fun as it should be.

Thanks for sharing your experience as an example for others who think they can make it without really knowing what they are getting into.

I run a successful website/commuinity that’s generated just under $200,000 in the last 2.5 years – so i guess that kinda makes me an expert..
I try to convey bits and pieces of this knowledge (expertise) in my blog, but since I run a community better than i make blog-posts, it’s difficult.. but i try..

Running a blog that you are not an expert in is a really draining experience (I have tried) and I know that some people can learn fast but it’s not something I wasn’t to pursue for too long.

Great article, especially in concerns of the readers.
