Being Lazy Works!

I've talked a lot about giving love lately and I just posted a resource that I think might make people only working 30 minutes - 3 hours a day on average freak out.

Look, I work 8-12 hours a day, and it's working really well. But really, my approach IS NOT THE BEST for the search engines.

The search engines really, really like to see stuff happen over a looong period of time. If you're a procrastinator, Google is one of the only places in the world that will actually give you a REWARD for being lazy.

I see you guys as being huge potential. I don't want you to stop and I don't want you to burn out, but I'm also not expecting you guys to yeild extraordinary results any time soon.

So look - if you're starting to call it off... if you EVER change your mind about what you're doing, don't DELETE anything, and DON'T STOP.

Here's what I mean by don't stop:

Do something once a week, even if it's merely a new blog post or sending one link to your website.

If you spend 5 MINUTES PER WEEK on your blog, in 5 years Google will see you as a considerable authority site. You will have page rank, meaning, any link on your site will have x10 or x100 power.

You will rank for all kinds of long keywords you'd never have thought of, and with the combination of all these you'll actually get decent traffic.

You can put ads on that site and have steady income... FOREVER.

I made a post a while back titled "Plant the seed now and your blog will grow". That message is just as clear now as it was then.

The more work you do now, the faster it will grow. But even if you don't touch it for months - if you've pointed ANY LINKS or ANY NETWORKING at it, your site will grow more powerful with time.

And I'm just going to keep throwing all kinds of resources at you.

So DON'T EVER stop. 5 minutes a week could mean an extra $100 a week a couple years from now - extra money you'll be happy to spend, that you get from spending less time on your blog per week than it takes to eat a meal.

As funny as it is, THIS blog actually ranks for long tail keywords, and I bet it actually does get some outside traffic. I haven't done a single thing to promote this blog. NOTHING, except the fact that it's a blogger blog and so Google has found it.

The more blog posts I have, the more keywords I have, the more long tail keywords this blog will rank for. Next time google crawls this blog, I can probably type in something like "lazy works time SEO" into google, and this very post would be likely to rank as #1.

Spend a little time thinking about that, and what you could do if you ever stopped trying.
