I think a lot of people have these fears, myself included, but I realised that if you do not build a personal brand, if you don't make noise, you won't be seen. Writing online is tough and it can make us feel vulnerable at times, but it also brings so many benefits: new friends, new skills and even the opportunity of an additional income that can turn into a main income one day.

It can be scary when you fall for the belief that the Internet is a big cruel place. But I've found some of my best supporters are people I've never met, and who would never know me unless I put myself out there.

Sure, some people won't like you, but why focus your attention on the wrong audience?

If you can help someone with what you know or sell, you're doing the world a disservice not to be out there promoting yourself.
