Fake it till you Make it

Help!

My blog doesn’t have a niche!

I don’t even know how you say that word out loud… ‘neeeeeche’? or ‘nitch’?

I don’t have an ‘elevator pitch’.

How do I sum up my blog in one neat little sentence, that sound professional, down to earth and quaintly amusing?

I haven’t built and email list and I have no clear idea of where my blog is heading… or why!

I don’t even know what to say when someone asks me what I do!

“I’m a stay at home mum… a blogger… a freelance writer… a preschool teacher… a web designer… um…”

Heck I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up, let alone what I want to be now… a few short months away from forty.

My blog is like my life; garbled, mixed up, and rambley. Yet here I am, nearly seven years since I started blogging and about to stand up among a list of other fabulous Australian Bloggers as a Nuffnang Talent Blogger.

I feel inadequate, nervous, out of my depth, unsure, and thankful.

And tonight as I stand beside some of the bloggers I most admire I am going to do what I always do in these situations….

I’m going to pretend my blog has a niche, and that I am cool as a cucumber (er… pickle). I’m going to be brave and try to be proud of what I do without being a jerk.

I am going to take a deep breathe and….

‘Fake it till I make it‘.
