Are you always putting things off and saying to yourself I will do it later and never get around to ever doing it? Is your lack of action affecting your business? Are you finally admitting you have a problem with procrastination? Yes, then you can do something about it. But how do you stop procrastination?
First of all you have got to look at the reasons why you are avoiding taking action. Is it because you feel out of your comfort zone doing certain things. You know they will help your business but you still avoid doing them. I will tell you right now that everyone has been in the same position as you. The difference is that all the top people in the internet marketing industry have got over these problems by just doing it. I will highlight 2 tasks that I avoided when I first started and how I got over them.
Video Marketing
If you are scared to make videos for example you are told you just have to do a video publish it and move on to the next one. But what if you don't feel comfortable in front of the camera? My advice is don't do these type of videos. Make screen share videos where you can show people things you have learned online. People love these videos as they are so helpful. Make videos about any little thing even if you think no one would be interested in it. These videos get a lot of views as new people come into the internet marketing industry and are thirsty for knowledge.
You can also make videos getting your message across with Animoto using images, text and music. These free videos are about 30 seconds long but that is enough time to promote your business. So no putting it off get over to animoto.com NOW and make your first video. When you see how simple it is and how effective they are you won't be able to stop.
Article Writing
Writing articles is another one that people put off doing as it takes so much time. You may think that one article won't make much difference to your marketing. But if you write and publish one article a day for the next 100 days, you will have built a great base for visitors to your website for years to come. It does not make a difference overnight with articles, but you are laying the foundations for traffic for the future. So stop all this procrastination it's your success you are holding back here. Just start writing. Now!
Maybe you need a push, some people need to be accountable to someone to encourage them to keep going. If you want to get in touch with me for some encouragement we can do the 1 video and 1 article a day for the next 100 days together.
