I’m not trying to pimp the dream of creating content for a living. Is it as awesome as you think it is? Yes. But that doesn’t mean you should do it. Can you make a lot of money creating content? Um, hell yeah. But you probably won’t.

Do you have what it takes to make a full-time living as a content creator? I don’t know. But this post will be a good test. If you make it all the way through this post and still feel like you want to create content for a living, you’re probably cut out for it.

If it sounds too hard for you, then it probably is.

That being said, it’s okay that you have doubts about yourself. I did. It’s okay to feel like you’re not good enough right now. You’re not. You don’t have to have supreme levels of confidence to get started, but you do have to have that itch.

You have to have that persistent thought in the back of your mind that this is something you want to do. That curiosity is the only thing that’ll keep you warm in the cold-hearted world of content creation. If you have it, hold onto it.

Let’s take a look at the reasons you shouldn’t create content for a living and see who’s left standing by the end.
