This is part 3 of the Fear Less series.

If I had a dollar for every time some told me that they wanted to start a blog, I could stop working. Seriously, it isn’t an exaggeration. Lots of people still want to launch their blogs and those same people are really afraid to do so.

Today on Pimp Your brilliance, I have Sarah Morgan of XOSarah.com. Sarah Morgan is an Emmy Award-winning digital strategist who’s been blogging and building websites since age 13. She has built a career around helping bloggers and other small business owners kick ass online.

Sarah’s extensive knowledge of the blogging industry is why I invited her on the show. In this episode, she shares why people are still afraid to start blogs, easy ways to start blogging and how to leverage your blog as a sales tool.
