You have no illusions about who you are and what you do. First and foremost, you’re an Internet marketer. You market products and sites to make money. But secondarily, you’re a procrastinator. And this is important, too.
Why is it important? Because it’s a fault (or, trait, if you’d prefer) that you have; and it affects how you think, operate, and market. And if you can’t change it, then you must accept that it exists; and figure out how to work around it.
As a procrastinator, you can predict exactly what you’re going to do with ease.
Got a new project? Great. You’ll welcome its arrival, think hard about how to complete it, and then take a break—a long break. When there’s a day left to finish it, that’s when you’ll really get serious, buckle down, and work hard to finish the project.
In the end, you’ll put yourself under a lot of stress, and you’ll struggle to complete the project on time, but what you produce will ultimately be good. You’ll like it, your clients will like it, and your client’s customers will like it.
Fortunately for you, knowing that this is who you are and how you operate can be useful. It means that you predict how you will behave; and schedule your day accordingly.
If means that if you know you won’t be able to do work, you can take a real break (rather than pretending to work). And if you think a light schedule will cause you to procrastinate, you can build it up to put yourself under pressure.
In this guide, I won’t give you tips on how to overcome procrastinating. But what I will do is give you some procrastinator-friendly methods for generating traffic.
You can do them while you’re distracted; you can do them at the last minute; and you can do them in a short period of time.
In fact, it doesn’t matter how you do them, so long as you do them right. So, without further ado, let’s talk about some easy, lazy (and sometimes enjoyable) ways in which you can generate traffic without devoting every waking hour of your attention to a mindless task.
