I've tried so many online money making methods in the past

I've taken surveys on mTUrk. I freelanced audio production and voice work gigs on Fiver and E-lance. I've even taught kids in China on VIPKid.

But nothing comes close to the profit I'm making with NFT games. I mean let me tell you a secret: I'm making more income playing games in a SINGLE DAY than any of these other online money-making methods, yet alone a "real job" had me earning in a full WEEK.

Guys I am 100% serious when I talk about this. But NFTs are changing the gaming industry as we know it!

With NFTs and the Blockchain technology, we're able to effectively verify that YOU own an item that you won from a game. It's not something your in-game avatar wears or holds. It's something you legitimately own.

And just like anything you own in real life, like a book, instrument, furniture, whatever, you can buy, sell, and trade it on the market.

It's no longer just "pixels" on a screen. It can now be traded for real fiat, real currency, through the use of the blockchain and crypto coins.

The MetaVerse is building and we're blurring the lines between actual reality and virtual reality. This is just the beginning, fellow procrastin8rs.

You can sit at home and PLAY A GAME to earn a real asset then sell that asset for money.

Are you understanding me? Please tell me you follow. Okay, let me break this down for you, real simple: This is the lazy opportunity we've been waiting for!

You can make money sitting on the couch playing video games. No need to grow an audience or following. No need to look pretty for the camera as you stream. No need to set up sponsors or affiliate links.

You literally...just. play the game.

Now I'm gonna be covering in-depth reviews/guides in the on coming weeks about some profitable NFT games I've been playing recently. Last week, you heard of BombCrypto and this time I want to introduce to you a little Play to Earn NFT game called Heroes and Empires. It's a medieval fantasy themed idle game.

Even if you aren't much a gamer, it's very easy/semi-passive income. Just click a few buttons each day to do quests and battles. It's auto battle, so no actual skill or reflexes required. If you can browser a website, you can play this game!

You heard good ole Zuck talk about. It's this idea of intertwining the virtual world with the physical one. He's talking about owning "virtual" property, which is already possible in games like Decentraland and Upland.

This is done through the use of the blockchain to create NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Think of NFTs as a unique item, like a shiny Charizard Pokemon card or a signed copy of Stephen King's It or the original painting of the Mona Lisa. It's not very easily replaceable and hard to find.

Now in the real world, holding these items under your physical possession kind of proves your ownership of them, but in the virtual world, we need to verify data in order to prove your ownership. Sound familiar?

Remember we talked about crypto/Bitcoin and how it uses this Blockchain technology to verify the fact that you own that cryptocurrency?

Well, the same technology is now being applied to Non-Fungible tokens, unique items like pieces of art and of course, in-game items. No longer is that sword or pony just something you get in the game, it's something you VERIFIABLY OWN.

Bitcoin itself is "fungible". One Bitcoin is exactly the same as any other Bitcoin in existence. Just like One dollar bill is the same as any other dollar bill.

But now we can create non-fungible items that have uniqueness. That's the key word. Non-fungible means uniqueness.

And this idea of owning items in the digital space is beginning to make waves.

Already, collection toy companies like Funko Pop are offering NFTs in addition to the purchase of a real physical toy. These NFTs can then be traded on a digital market. Cities across the world are planning to implement NFTs in their future building plans.

And this only the beginning. We're going to see the digital and physical world blur together more and more.

With gaming already encouraging players to collect loot and unlock characters with no other incentive than bragging rights, having NFTs in game is going to shift the entire industry.

No longer are you wasting hours into grinding levels or collecting resources in a game like Runescape. No longer are you fighting a boss over and over in hopes to get that one rare drop just so you can brag to your buddies or win some PVP.

NFTs turns your game time into valuable time. That rare amulet you found in the chest? Yeah, that's yours now, not your game character's amulet. YOURS. You own it!

Now fair warning, there is typically an upfront cost to get started with NFT games, and that may be a bit of a turn off for some of you.

But honestly with new games running over $60 now and over a hundred for the "deluxe" editions, plus the system or PC you gotta buy to even play the game in the first place, even if you're not gaming with NFTs, there's still a price to pay up front.

Thing is with traditional gaming, you don't earn anything back, but with NFT, you can actually profit off your game time.

Like, you're going to be playing games just for fun or achievement sake, you might as well get paid for your time. I'm serious this is one of the biggest opportunities to make a living being lazy.

You can literally lay on the couch and play video games all day and get paid to do so. No need to stream or build a following. No need to get sponsors or dabble around with affiliate marketing. No creating content on blog, videos, or podcasts. Literally just playin the game.

Now I'm not a financial advisor. I don't have any sort of experience or authority to help you make decisions with your money. That's on you. Do your own research. I'm just a lazy dude with an opinion.

Anyway, in the oncoming weeks, I'll be sharing with you some NFT games I'm finding to be rather profitable and today we're going to start with one called BombCrypto.

We strive to make every single minute in our lives absolutely 100% productive...or at the very least we're certainly pressured to do so.

Any down time, time to relax, or otherwise Leisure (the big "L" in L.A.Z.Y) time is seen as such a "waste" in this hard-working, achievement-oriented society. What are you doing, you lazy bum, sittin around doin' nothin'? Get your ass up and get back to work!

Somehow your entire worth as a human being isn't tied to who you are but what you can do and what you can provide.

Even hobbies and recreational activities aren't something we necessarily spend time on to simply enjoy ourselves, but to get better, become more skilled, gain more knowledge, develop better techniques.

Heck, even vacation becomes following a freaking itinerary instead of taking the time to, what's that word again? RELAX! We book our vacation up with a plethora of activities and wind up coming back a week or so later feeling exhausted and in need of, get this, another vacation!

Wasting time has a such a bad stigma in our gun-ho productive society. But there's more to life than just achievement. There's more to life than just goal-getting.

I mean, how enjoyable can life be if you're constantly fatigued all the time? If you're constantly feeling drained mentally, emotionally, and physically, how can you ever be happy?

There's something we lose when we transition from childhood to adulthood and it's this idea of playing for fun instead of playing to win.

Being lazy, at least once in a while has its merits. Take time to ease on up and be fully and completely at rest. Do things to have fun or even for the sake of kicking your feet up just to savor the moment.

Live a life of desire, not obligation. Abide and do your own thing. Whether that's bowling, playing video games, or just lying on the couch not really doing anything, don't feel like that's any sort of "wasted" time.

While time is indeed limited, you can do with it what you want. Life is about what you manage to experience and enjoy, not what you manage to accomplish. Remember that.

Stay in the warm indoors and sip hot coacoa. I hate the cold. And the only thing I hate more than the cold weather is the cold hearts of scammers.

'Tis the season for scammers to come. In the next coming months, we're gonna see a slew of websites, apps, EFTS, alt coins, and other programs that are designed to steal from your wallet (and your clock), taking your time and hard earned cash.

Last week, I went over how to spot red flags on these scam sites and apps and one of the reasons I did that is because well...winter is coming.

One of the biggest mainstream scams is of course Black Friday. I'll tell you what about Black Friday, there's more hype about the deals than the deals are actually worth.

People will get excited about anything. Go run in a store and scream excitedly about how adult diapers are so super cheap! Guarantee you a mob will run over to grab that deal.

People just get in a mode of "getting a good deal" that they shoot out any sort of rationality or logic, like rationally, the deals are no better than the normal discounts that stores offer throughout the year.

But on top of these over-hyped sales at big retailers like Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy, you're also going to see these investment gimmicks and "innovative" start ups seemingly appear out of no where, like a magical snowman from a hat.

Do your research. Look at who's behind the project, what experience do they have, what successful other projects have they been a part of, before shelling out your dough.

I mean it. People are desperate now to get any sort of extra holiday spending money, so a lot of these new tokens you see on the Ethereum network or pennystock IPOs are going to be complete trash.

The other snowfall of winter happens in the markets as a whole. Prepare for the stock and crypto market to slide down that hill in a one horse open sleigh.

Around this time of year, there's usually a dip in share and coin prices. But don't panic. Don't worry. it happens.

It'll recover around spring time again.

I always see it as the "real" Black Friday sale, like "Yay crypto is on sale! Dividends are on sale!"

Worst you can do is invest with your emotions. Invest with your money instead. Don't follow the hype train of selling shares (and coins) in order to buy deals of shit you don't even really want to buy anyway.

Just relax man, and let your money hibernate. Do the lazy thing.

Stay safe this season. Stay warm. Oh and stay classy too.

And believe me, I've been online money-making for nearly a decade now. It's now my full-time income and over the years and through my experience, I've certainly seen my fair share of scams. Admittedly, I fell for a bunch of them when I was an online money-making noob.

Of course, I found several LEGIT ways to make money online along the way, which is how I've managed to quit my day job and work from home. I'm not rich by any means. But I make a decent enough income sittin' in front of my computer, essentially.

It's not all a scam, though with the amount of shit out there,** it's easy to conclude "making money online is a scam".

That's not 100% correct, buuut I mean, it's not 100% wrong either.**

Look, there ARE a LOT of scams out there. Sites and apps that will waste your precious time or steal away your hard earned money.

But I want to save you from wasting your time or throwing away your money to these god awful scammers. I want to hep you be lazy and not have to put in the effort of trying to make money online, only to earn absolutely nothing in the end.

See man, I've been there. I spent hours doing surveys or downloading games for these apps that...let's just say...turned out to be a complete and utter hoax.

I mean I don't know about you, but I HATE wasting my goddamn time. Like, IF, big IF I AM actually going to do something....well then I want it to be worth the actual freaking effort.

I don't want to do all these tasks just to get no compensation in return.

So, I want to give you a list of red flags I wish I had when I started making money online. Hopefully it'll help you know what to look out for so you don't wind up spending a lot of your own time TRYING to earn money on the couch and instead ACTUALLY earn money from the couch.

I'm completely fine with NO EVIL. How bout that? You like that?

Think about it, Dude, how corrupt does a system have to be for the general consensus to be "well, I just voted for the lesser of the two evils."?

Excuse me but....WHAT!?

How is that acceptable? What kind of Underdark society are we living in where we're choosing between Evil A and Evil B.

Like how about a solid NO.

The two party system is outdated. The tribal war needs to stop.

We need real conversations with real people. We need to sit back, relax, and listen to one another.

We need REAL PEOPLE to make policy, not fake politicians.

Listen to each other. Not listen to the puppets of these figure heads backed by corporate lobbyists who are paying their way to put in policies that further their agenda towards profits or the media who only serves as an ad funnel for the same corporate bastards

Jeez, I'm starting to sound like a political commenter here. I really don't want to go down that route. I just wanted to share my thoughts and feelings about the election process in general in today's blog.

The focus here will of course be on the Lazy Mindset and how it's important to be lazy as your civic duty to your country.

It's been 80 years, nearly a century since the Industrial Revolution and Labor Movement.

The tme in which the standard "9 to 5 grind" was set. Yet, still here we are, in the year 2021, following the same work schedule as our great great grandparent

I mean WTF man!

And you know something? It was Henry Ford, who initiated this sort of practice, during a time in which 12-14 hours was the typical "on the clock" time for you average employee. That's right he cut those hours down by a quarter and guess what?

Productivity Skyrocketed!

Huh? What? How?

People worked less hours and produced_ more _results. They were being....lazy, at least lazier than "working" over a dozen hours, but being more effective.

More recently through companies like Tower Paddle Boards in California recently cut their full time schedule down to just 5 hours a day, and it's become one of the largest growing retailers in the country. Like Ford, they found that their employees were being MORE productive working LESS hours.

You see, there's value in Leisure, the big "L" in L.A.Z.Y. we always talk about. There's value in taking time off and relaxing.

Fact of the matter is in the typical 9 to 5 grind, we don't have time to relax. By the time we start settle down, after doing all the chores and taking care of the kids, it's time go bed, wake up the next day, and start it all over again.

There's no "me" time. There's no time to do what you want. There's always another task that must be done. And we're constantly moving around, being productive, doing something, rather than sittin' around doin' nothing and just enjoying ourselves.

We end up binge watching Netflix only to get some sort of synthetic form of Leisure, but even after that, still feel drained. We don't get real free time. We get the artificial flavor of it.

The weekend barely counts as Leisure time. It's spent catching up with friends, running your groceries, completing chores you didn't finish during the work week. No time to just sit and rest.

The workload keeps growing and the wages, well, as we covered before, are just remaining stagnant.

We're literally just running on caffeine at this point. Dead on the inside with our corpses trying to push through the next work shift.

Fortunately, I know as well as you do that being lazy is okay. It's okay to be lazy once in a while, despite the stigma, despite the criticism, laziness is a good thing. You see, you would think that someone working less hours is lazy, and while that may true. because they lazy, because they have the time to rejuvenate themselves, they become motivated to work harder and be more productive.

It's the Lazy Movement in motion!

We're witnessing and perhaps very much a part of a nationwide strike. All across the country, people are up and leaving their job, refusing to work.

From factory workers at Kellog's to warehouse employees at John Deere to nurses at hospitals and cooks at McDonald's, everyone is truly embracing their laziness and saying "enough is enough!"

People are done working...at least they're done working for the shit wages we've been offered for the past few decades.

**The cost of living keeps increasing, while the wages stay stagnant.

Meanwhile, you have billionaires hoarding up loads of wealth all for themselves.**

All we're asking for is a more fair redistribution of that wealth.

Some people (who have to be completely brainwashed if you ask me) claim that people nowadays are "too lazy."

TOO lazy? Really.

I ain't gonna say that refusing to work is NOT lazy, but are we really going to tread the waters of "TOO" lazy?

C'mon now. Is it TOO much to ask to be compensated more pay than literal poverty wages?

Is it TOO much to ask for life NOT to be centered and revolved around your job and have some actual FREE TIME to do things you enjoy, not just two days on the "weekend to be able to slightly, if at all, recuperate and get your energy back -- just enough energy to make it through another back-bearing hard work week, at that.

The amount of labor they expect of us ain't worth what they're paying us. It's really that simple.

It's not excessive laziness to say "I'm worth more. My time and effort is worth more." when you're barely able to pay your bills on time and put food on the table for every meal.

It's lazy ENOUGH.

There's admiration in knowing how and when to be lazy. Laziness is seen as such a detriment to society.

Yet, here we have GREEDY billionaires building literal spaceships as a fun little side hobby.

I'd say if anything, the bane of society is TOO MUCH GREED, not too much laziness.

People only want fair pay. And hey, that's the heart of capitalism. Is it not? A FAIR TRADE between two parties.

Fact of the matter is, the trade of labor for money is NOT a fair trade right now. NO DEAL!

More and more people are seeing that.

We're at the largest quit rate in history (topping 2.9%), and those numbers I imagine are only going to increase. Unless of course, wages are increased.

The rise of the Sloths is here and we're going to win, as long as people hold the attitude of a true procrastin8r and say "you can't make me work."

What a word. It's often associated with the type of car you drive, the size of the house you own, and the number in your bank account. But all of those are just...things. Things that really don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. I mean think about it. What are you going to do as you're lying on your death bed? Are you going to want to walk through your large mansion just one more time? Are you going to want to open your bank account and look at the amount of dollars you've accumulated in a lifetime just one last time? Are you going to want to take a joyride in your Mercedes just one final drive? C'mon now! Of course not. You're going to want to be surrounded by the people you care about, the ones whose lives you touched. And at that, you don't want a large audience surrounding you, just the few people that are close to you. See, the idea of success in society is so materialistic, but at the end of the day (or at the end of life for that matter), those material things dissipate and become ever so meaningless. I encourage you not to measure success on what you have, but on what you can give. Focus on a purpose, an underlying principle that drives you. Perhaps that's honesty, or maybe justice, or peace. Whatever it is... Find something that offers more value than any sort of dollar sign can ever be worth and let that determine your level of success. Success is a lot easier to obtain when you make it something inside of you that you're willing to give, rather than something external you're trying to obtain. Remember that. Success is not about working hard to get. It's about being at peace with yourself and who you are. it's about relaxing and embracing your laziness. My measure of success in writing this blog and recording my podcast is being able to provide value and insight to you, not so much the amount of clicks I get or sponsors that pay me. Numbers are arbitrary. Be the Dude and Abide. Make your measure of success simple. You'll feel a lot more happy and fulfilled.

Resolute to lose weight but ya never do. Resolute to pay off your debt but, if anything, you go into deeper debt. Resolute to find true love but you barely even go out on a date yet alone find a serious partner. Every year it's the same damned thing and every year it's the same damned result. Say you're gonna do this really ridiculous HUGE thing... ...then not make it. Like...not even close. It's a waste of time to make a NYR. Just take the "L" and say fuck it. I mean seriously, why even try? You know you're not gonna make it happen anyway. ...And that's why it doesn't. See, you KNOW you're not gonna make it happen. You believe it won't happen. You believe you're too fat and out of shape to exercise and lose weight. You believe you're too much of a spendthrift to be able to save money. You believe you're too much of a loser to date anyone. And thus, it's the belief itself that prevents you from achieving any sort of Resolution you set yourself out to attain. Resolutions are bullshit because Resolutions are sort of backwards on principle. I mean what is a resolution? A self promise to take certain actions and perform certain behaviors in order to change. Instead of adopting the mindset first, you attempt to change habits and behaviors right off the bat, without really doing any of the mental growth necessary to achieve the sort of behaviors you ideally would like to have. Change doesn't work that way. Change flows from the inside out, not the other way around. I mean you can reach your goal weight but still see yourself as the loser fat kid, ya know? There are people that do the thing, but don't FEEL the thing. You have to feel it and believe it first.Adjust within. Less action. More thought. Less get to it and more lay back and relax. The behaviors you want to adopt in your New Year's Resolution are more easily attained when you become it, mentally, first. See yourself as a fit guy or gal and then you'll find working out and eating healthy not some sort of arduous task, but something you naturally do. It's part of who you are. We're procrastin8rs, we're not designed to work hard towards anything, yet alone an annual commitment that we'll never fulfill. Relax. If you want to change, do it slow n' steady. One step at a time. The first step is to change your beliefs. Don't go about trying to change your behaviors without first changing your beliefs. Don't change what you do until you change who you believe you are.

More like Present$ with a dollar sign, am I right? There's this corporate greed push to buy the latest and greatest every holiday season. This one, despite the fact that it's the apocalypse, no different. It's believed that that the value of your gift is directly proportional to the price tag on it. But I'm here to tell you folks, that's all bullshit. Truth is, most of these big expensive gifts are gonna wind up on the side of the curb by the trash sooner or later. The gifts we keep usually have some sort of...sentimental value behind them. It takes a lot of time, a lot of work ...to earn enough money to buy an expensive gift. And unless that person receiving it is highly materialistic, the price won't even matter much to them. It's how much it effects them emotionally that matters. See, when you give a gift, you want to focus on achieving that emotional bond. You want to create rapport. You can be a cheap bastard and barely spend any money. That doesn't matter. What matters is how well you manage to build rapport with the other person when giving a gift. You want to say "I really thought of you." over "I really spent a lot on you." As with all things lazy, when it comes to gift giving, you want to minimize effort and maximize results. Give the cheap little gifts that actually MEAN something over the big elaborate ones that will be thrown out a few week from now.

But if I explained I like skydiving or riding roller coasters, you'd be like "Oh" Same thing. It's a thrill to watch horror movies or read the books or play the video games. It brings an adrenaline rush. It's sort of a "safe danger". Like a machete wielding maniac is a lot safer behind the LCD screen than behind my back, ya know? Anyway, it's not just the rush you get, but there's some awesome benefits to consuming horror media in any fashion. First, it helps you tackle anxiety. Like while playing a horror game, you have to stay calm. It's not your ability to maneuver the controls or know the mechanics that's gonna get you to beat the game. It's your ability not to FREAK OUT when something scary happens. If you can do that in a game, you can do that in real life. You have to handle some pretty tense moments in Dead Space, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill. otherwise, it's game over. If you get jump scared and panic fire off your last bullet and miss, you may have just cost yourself your life. You have to stay relaxed to win horror game. Likewise, you have to stay relaxed in order to win life. And you know what? It's 2020, life IS a horror game. In short, watching horror movies and playing the games is a LAZY way to overcome anxiety and gain better emotional control. There are several more benefits of watching and playing horror stuff we talk about in today's episode. Anyway, Happy Halloween!

• WORK HARD for your goals,
• PUT UP WITH unfair treatment & labor conditions
• get things done RIGHT AWAY

...and do it all for the approval of SOMEONE ELSE. This is NOT true and there is an easy way to success where you can take your time, you can do it on the COUCH! You can shift your mindset and escape your mental prison! You can break out of your hard working mode of thinking and enter a more lazy and relaxed one, which will further let you leave that 9 to 5 job you hate so much. One of the best ways to break a habit is to become aware of what you're doing, rather than try to put a stop to it directly.

• WORK HARD for your goals,
• PUT UP WITH unfair treatment & labor conditions
• get things done RIGHT AWAY

...and do it all for the approval of SOMEONE ELSE. This is NOT true and there is an easy way to success where you can take your time, you can do it on the COUCH! You can shift your mindset and escape your mental prison! You can break out of your hard working mode of thinking and enter a more lazy and relaxed one, which will further let you leave that 9 to 5 job you hate so much. One of the best ways to break a habit is to become aware of what you're doing, rather than try to put a stop to it directly.

• You do tasks you don't like.
• For a boss you despise.
• To please customers you frankly don't give an rat's ass about.

All while pretending to be happy with a fake smile and dressing up in clothes that you put on that don't suit your personal tastes or style. It's all an act and quite frankly, a miserable existence. All I want to do is sit at home playing video games and ordering pizza. I want to live in my own lazy abode. I want to do what I want, whenever I want, however I want, and never have to explain why. ...And that's as real as it gets! I don't know about you, but I'm here to live, not exist. Somehow sitting behind a desk in a tiny cubicle doesn't exactly sound like living. Just because you are making a living, doesn't mean you are living. Let's keep it real together by getting out of our real jobs.

1. Look out for fake reviews: - Overly glowing reviews - Some admins from other programs hire people to call their competition a scam, even though they are still paying. - Examine the text. Does it seem human or robotic? - Look at the user’s post history. Are they only posting about one program or admin? Are they new? Do they only have negative/postive reviews? A legit account is balanced.
2. Premium, Executive are ads. Just like Google ads, not necessarily the best results, just the results that were paid to be there.
3. Take advantage of RCB (Referral Commision Back) from BetterBits, Diversity Fund, HYIP Scope.
4. If some people are saying they are getting paid but others aren’t (and they don’t seem fake) that means the admin is sending out SELECTIVE payments. DO NOT SIGN UP.

Search the Admin Often times, admins make it difficult to track them down. They use fake names and fake profile pics. They use a different username. They put identity protection on their website. But in the off chance they do share their real personal info, or at least use the same psedoname multiple times, take a look into their history. Remember… Never invest more than what you’re willing to lose Trust no one Relax Disclaimer: Every financial investment you decide to take is a risk that you are responsible for, and I am not promising you any sort of profit. I am not your financial advisor nor do I claim to have any sort of credentials to give you that type of advice. It is possible to lose money and there is no guarantee that you will actually make money with any sort of investment I talk about. Results may vary. Coming this summer on Lazy Island… EXTREME Hammocking, a new attraction!

• The way we make money is by someone else's loss. That's the nature of the game.
• Think about it: Every time you "cash out", you yourself are stealing from someone who won't be able to cash out in the future.
• Everyone that makes a profit is technically a "scammer" to those who are at a loss.
• No HYIP will last forever. Some a few days, some a few weeks, some even a few years. But in the end, they’re all set up to fail.
• It’s not a matter of IF it will scam, but WHEN
• Every HYIP has a STORY (a fictional one at that)

Types of HYIPs:

1. Traditional a classic ponzi scheme where you earn high interest within a certain time frame
2. Matrix: wait “your turn” to get paid, with no fixed time frame (I avoid these ones)
3. RevShare: buy ads with “cash back”

Are ponzi schemes bad? Not necessarily. It’s just a game you gotta know how to play. The American government bond system is one of the biggest ponzi schemes ever. Principles of Successfully Profiting from RevShares: 1) NEVER invest more than you’re willing to LOSE 2) _Get in Early. Get Out fast._Just like James Bond in his dating life. Cash out your seed money ASAP then play with the profits. 3) Trust no one. Do NOT join an admin’s second (or third or fourth...) program. If they scammed once, they’ll scam again (Exceptions: you can use profits from the admin’s first program to play in the next one or you never joined any previous programs from the admin) Key Terms: BEP: Your “Break Even Point”. Cashing out 100% of what you initially invested in a program. ROI: Return on Investment. The percentage amount you earn. Seed Money: The original amount of money that you invest into a program Compounding: using the earnings your account balance to purchase more ad packs to build your account RefBack: Referral Commission Back an offer your sponsor may offer for signing up using their ref link. Typically, they’ll share part of the ref commission they receive with you.People come to this sub and will comment saying "sounds like a ponzi scheme" or "sounds like a scam."

• If you do worry about mistakes, then you’re getting worked up. That’s work. You don’t want to do any sort of work; you’re lazy.
• Mistakes and failure are all part of the human experience, and that’s all it is - an experience. Mistakes do not make up who you are.
• We’re not born with anxiety, it’s taught.
• Somehow, under the pressure of society and work hard mantra driven in our minds nonstop, we lose that laid back attitude we have as a child.
• You got so caught up in this hardworking society that teaches you Results = Success
• But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Relax man, results aren’t success. Just because you can’t do it today doesn’t mean you won’t be able to tomorrow.

Progress = Success And aprt of that progress is FAILURE & MISTAKES Many celebrities like Michael Jordan, Warren Buffet, Steven Spielberg, Walt Disney, Dr. Seuss, Jerry Seinfeld, & Elvis Presley have experienced large mistakes and failure Failure and Rogue Games:

• Rogue games teach us failure is not game over. It’s part of the process and learning curve of leveling up your own skills, abilities, and knowledge.
• Yes, luck can play a bit of a role, and things may not always go in your favor, but that doesn't stop you from trying again.

• Starbucks “anti- Christmas" red cups
• Pepsi’s Kenndall Jenner ad
• Absolut advocating for Mexican invasion of US
• 2011 "Why should women read The Economist? They shouldn't. Accomplished, influential people should read us. People like you." (13% of readers were women)
• GoDaddy’s Superbowl ad “puppy sold on website”. Didn’t even air. PETA got involved on Change.org
• Wal-Mart’s (in Texas) Coca-Cola Twin Towers 9-11 display
• White Skittles "Only one rainbow matters this weekend... Pride's."
• Coca-Cola’s “New Coke” in 1985
• McDonald’s Arch Deluxe “burger with grown up taste” showed kids hating it
• CEO of Lifelock Todd Davis posted his Social Security number. His identity was stolen 13 times.
• Sony’s “White is Coming”
• Budweiser’s #UpForWhatever “Perfect Beer for removing “NO” from your vocabulary for the night

Limit the backlash

• Keep your target audience in mind. You shouldn’t upset or piss off your target.
• Think about the implications of what you’re saying in the message of your ad or marketing
• Don’t make your brand the solution for a big issue (or set of issues)
• Tragedy is NOT an opportunity for sales; don’t make it one
• Be honest

Recovery from backlash

• Double Down
• Do NOT apologize. Avoid the “s” word”
• take as criticism for the industry, not the business itself
• “not here to please everybody” euphemism for “if you don’t like it, fuck off”
• Mazda SUV 2012 commercial, where Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax sells a car
• NO celebrity or brand that ever apologized for something they did received a positive repsonse to said apology

Exceptions (sort of):

• If everyone agrees or disagrees with you, you’re probably wrong, so at that point humbly accept the failure, pull it, and move on. Again, don’t apologize.
• If the message was by and large interpreted wrong, you can explain but don’t harp on it.

You want to cause controversy, a bit of drama or a plot twist on stage, not get the entire crowd to boo you off stage.. Never bring it up again. But Backfiring can be Good

• What’s the point of controversial marketing? To raise awareness
• The larger the backfire, the larger the impact, the bigger awareness is raised
• seems counter-intuitive
• the downside of a backlash is it may lead to protests and a downward trend in sales
• but even the biggest fails of controversial marketing still builds brand awareness
• your brand can become ”inafmous”, but at least there’s still fame involved in that.
• you’re not a nobody any more and are on top of people’s minds
• it’s certainly best to limit the amount of backlash you get but don’t feel bad about it. Honey badger don’t care. Take it as a lesson and move on to make a better one next time.
• the next marketing campaign or ad you make after a huge backlash will gain better attention because now people want to see what you’ve done since the last fiasco.
• You can redeem yourself and your brand
• You can learn from failures. Failure is opportunity to learn and evolve.

We also enter Lazy Island’s Gr8 Game Room for some gaming news, where we talk about the release of Resident Evil 2, Kingdom Hearts 3, and the closing of the Wii Shop Timeline of Kingdom Hearts

• you establish emotions before rationality
• it doesn’t work to convince someone to buy your argument through a logical argument and reasoning complete with charts, graphs, and cited sources
• in any relation you build rapport first (the logical reasoning behind why you like a person comes second)

To get people talking

• raises brand awareness
• All press is good press

HOW to be controversial: Raise awareness of an issue The goal of a controversial marketing campaign is to...

• Shock (piss ‘em off)
• Break the norms (turn their heads)
• Raise Debate (get ‘em talkin’)

...and ultimately capture attention and create buzz. Get on the top of everyone’s mind DOs

• make the message clear but disputable
• realize not everyone will agree
• understand who you are advertising to (ideals, beliefs, world view)
• connect/relate it back to your brand in some way
• justify your place in the conversation (offer value or insight)
• the unexpected
• be respectful

DON’Ts

• bring about controversy for the sake of controversy (you must have a message)

-expect to please everyone

• use a death or a national tragedy as a sales opportunity
• actually be bigotted (sexist, racist)
• be ignorant (of the implications of your message)
• confuse people about your message
• troll

Examples of good Controversial marketing, links included Shock/piss ‘em off PETA everything, including Dog BBQ and Pokemon Black & Blue Carl’s Jr. Burger King: adult toys on Valentine’s day, creepy King, delete a friend for a Whopper iHob [Gillette’s “Better Men” ad (1.2m dislikes and 700k likes)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koPmuEyP3a0 Gillette has no goal of being moral, otherwise they would be a nonprofit. They are a business. For profit. They wanna make money. Their sales were down and in a desperate attempt to bring their share price back up, they decided to re-target their audience. This ad is NOT targeted towards men. It’s targeted toward WOMEN, who do the shopping for the whole household, and hold feminist ideals. The Director of the ad that they hired is an extreme feminist. Her name is Kim Gehrig. She’s known for her ad called “Womankind” So.. You have an ad created by women... for women. Excuse me, let me clarify, you have an ad for women THAT HATE MEN created by a woman THAT HATES MEN. This is not about building anything positive for men. This is about catering to a feeling of contempt or distaste that these women unfortunately hold. This isn’t a message to men to “step up”, this is a message to women: “You’re right in feeling like most men are destructive beings and there are very few that are decent...oh and by the way, we’re Gillette, remember we said this so you can come buy our razors when you’re buying for your son, husband, and boyfriend.” In a video that went viral, you have a woman telling boys how to act, which statistically leads to mass shootings (most mass shooters come from single mother homes). Break the norms Kotex (period stigma) PooPorri (Imagine where you can go) McWhopper Donald Trump’s Presidential Campaign Wendy’s sassy Twitter comments Raise Debate Nike’s Kapernick ad AirBnB #WeAccept” Oreo’s rainbow cookie Respond to the Controversy. Ride the waves Edgard Watches They took a controversial ad and offered a different opinion (a more well informed opinion quite frankly. They include statistics and the sources where they found them, rather than some fabricated hyperbole drama with absolutely no concrete evidence)

• Take your desired income and multiply it by 25 to get your retirement savings goal
• That’s how much you need, total, to lay on the couch all day and not worry about how to keep the lights on
• the number should be HIGHER than your current amount of expenses to account for inflation

Rule of 72:

• the time it takes to double your money is 72 divided by your rate of return
• 7% is the average yearly return in the stock market
• so it takes about 10 years to double your money
• think of it like a really slow cash doubling machine. you put in the money and whatever amount you put in comes out twice as much a decade later.
• It takes a while to “cook” but the machine runs itself.

7. Diversify Don’t put all your eggs in one basket -- Don’t sleep on just one pillow Make a comfortable bed with plenty of cushions If one pillow falls off, you still have plenty to keep you at rest If one stock plummets, you have a nice cozy place to sleep. Buy stocks from multiple sector (categories): Energy, Materials, Industrial, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Financials Information Technology Telecommunication Services Utilities, Real Estate, Bonds, Cryptocurrency, Commodities (oil, silver, gold), and ForEx (Foreign Exchange Market/International currencies) Mutual Fund - traded at end of day ETF (exchange traded fund) - traded during the day Equity Investing - crowdfunding that pays (Kickfurther, Slice Capital) It’s like building a giant blanket fort - more pillows, more blankets = more defense 6. Relax and take it easy, man Don’t make emotional decisions. Don’t get worked up or upset. I mean c’mon, you don’t wanna work or get worked up. You’re lazy and relaxed. Remain in control of your emotions. Stay level headed and cool. Don’t panic sell or buy on the hype (Facebook after Cambridge Analytica, Equifax data breach, Nintendo released PokemonGo) It’ll go up and it’ll go down, just ride the waves of the stock market ocean It’ll be smooth sailing the less you worry about it. Also, don’t obsessively check your account. This may also make it easy to get emotionally tied up in the stock market “drama” Detach yourself from your stocks emotionally. You’re dating your stocks, not in a married lifelong marriage commitment to them. 5. If it’s too complicated, don’t even bother Stick to industries and companies you actually understand. If you’re not interested, don’t bother. It takes a lot of effort to research a company : look at their profits, goals, analyze their financial, ethical, and legal history, understand the strengths of its employees, have insight on the CEO’s ability to make good decisions and inspire a team, track data of their ability to bring ideas to life. It’s a time consuming and effortful task. Take a hobby and look at the products you purchase, the brands you use. You’re already aware of what some of your favorite brands are doing (new game releases, new devices coming out) ...as well as the trends within your niche (eg. games going digital, so GameStop is becoming irrelevant) ... so it doesn’t take much research or effort to know where they’re going and if they’re going to be profitable in the future. 4. Invest whenever you feel like it Don’t try to time the market Even experts get it wrong, so as a procrastinator, don’t sweat it if you do too. Procrastinate and put it off. Don’t kick yourself if you miss a “golden opportunity” to buy low and sell high. No big deal. You invest when you want. You know the price will go up, eventually. You don’t bog yourself down with numbers. Numbers are arbitrary. Things go up and they come back down. That’s the very nature of the stock market and you accept that. You’re calm about it and even when you time it “wrong” that’s okay, you know it’ll come back up again. I mean heck, the stock market not only recovered from the Great Depression but has far exceeded the prices pre-depression era. Deadlines don’t matter, nor does stock market timing. If you worry about it, you’re putting unnecessary pressure on yourself, putting yourself in the DESK trap. http://bit.ly/2ASJVWh 3. Patience. There’s no rush Have realistic expectations, You ain’t gonna get rich quick. Very few people do. Patience is not only a virtue, it’s a lifestyle. It’s the heart of what makes a procrastinator, well, a procrastinator. Be patient. Set it and forget it. Let your money grow and don’t try to force it to move any faster. It’ll get there, in due time. Don’t worry about maximizing profits as quickly as possible, just focus on building wealth, nice and slow You’ll get rich, eventually. Have patience and persistently invest. Slow n’ steady wins the race. Use the turtle as your spirit animal guide to get where you want financially. 2. Be a Cheap skate Eliminate fees as much as possible. They add up quickly. You don’t like to pay extra for things. You’re cheap when it comes to your money, so just embrace it. Any fee you pay cuts directly into your potential profits and that’s no good Annual fees, monthly maintenance fees, trading fees, deposit fees, all sorts of fees Choose an investment company with minimal fees (Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Betterment, ...or no fees at all (Robinhood, WeBull, Metador, Wise Banyan) The more fees you pay, the less money you’ll make. Period. Even small fees can chip away at your wealth if you’re not careful. 1. Make It Easy on Yourself Play it safe. Buy “boring” stocks (Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, 3M, Procter & Gamble) Don’t stretch yourself thin trying to find the “next big thing” There are millions of start ups and most of them won’t be around in 5 years. Don’t spend your time or money or energy trying to strike it rich. You’ll make it hard on yourself. Just take it easy and make your investment decisions easy. You don’t have to make it a full time job to follow the stock market. As a matter of fact, you don’t even have to check it often at all. I mean you can if you want to, again, if that’s something you enjoy doing. Do what you enjoy. But if you don’t enjoy following the stock market, don’t do it. You’ve already Calculated your end goal, and how much you need to save each month to meet it, so just stick to that plan, and don’t get distracted. Don’t get up when something startles or excites you… Relax. Lay on back down in bed instead and let your money do all the work for you. You don’t even have to lift a finger, or your head off the pillow.

• You’re a lazy procrastinator, so embrace a lazy mindset. Be Aloof.
• You don’t care about what other people think about your status or riches.
• You don’t seek approval and you don’t need it
• You do your own thing, regardless of what people think.
• Others opinions do not affect your purchasing decisions (or decisions in general for that matter).
• Honey Badger Don’t Care. ProcrastiN8r don’t care.
• There’s a famous quote that’s been said many times:
• “You buy things with money you don’t have to impress people you don’t like”
• Not any more. You’re a procrastinator and proud., You’re here to express, not impress.
• Buy generic for certain things like drugs, vitamins, and food. Often times, you’re just paying for the name brand. There are certain exceptions where generic sucks, like electronics and shoes.

*7.Buy it Later

• If you’re a patient procrastinator, you can save money by well, procrastinating.
• Things lose value over time. Don’t buy it now. Buy it later. The price of “new” is overpriced.
• Cars depreciate in value, for example. A new car this year will significantly decrease in value next year
• Video games too go down a lot. $60 is the price of a “new game”
• That price is just the impatient fee. The “gotta have it now”
• Be patient. Procrastinate your purchases
• We’re not about having or doing it “now”, we’re all about “later.”

6. Pay Yourself First

• your priority to make a payment towards is -- yourself (and your own lazy lifestyle)
• pretend 20% of the income is a tax or fee, like you don’t even own the money. Future you is charging current you to pay for his/her own Lazy Island. This payment is required
• aim to live off 80% of your income TOPS.

5. Aim for the biggest target in your debt

• take down the debt with the highest interest rate, not necessarily the highest amount
• the higher the interest rate, the more money you will pay in the long run, so knock it down as quick as possible, even if it’s the smallest debt you owe
• Debt accumulates faster with a higher interest rate and slower with a lower one
• it’s like a small enemy with a rage buff that gets stronger over time. You have to take it out as quickly as you can before it grows ridiculously powerful

4. Buy It For Life One and done. That’s the attitude of a true procrastinator. Buy quality products that are built to last, not cheaply made ones that are built to fall apart and be replaced as soon as possible. You want products that have a long life. There’s a whole subreddit for recommended products & brands: /r/BIFL

• Buy video games that have a lot of replay value or content in general to get the most bang for your buck. Buy a physical copy so you can resell it when you’re done with it (like Monster Hunter, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Super Smash Bros)
• Digital may be cheaper sometimes but you can’t resell a digital product.

3. Use it ‘til it breaks

• Along the same line of thinking: Keep up good maintenance and repairs on your “stuff” so you don’t have to purchase a new thing
• Small maintenance like changing your oil on your car

...or dusting out your desktop and cleaning the fan and defragging your hard drive every few weeks ...or stitching your clothing, which is actually easier to do than you would think

• will improve the quality and quantity of life of a product
• It’s also cheaper to do minor repairs along the way than pay for one major repair
• This goes for personal health too -- it’s better and cheaper to eat healthy, keep in shape and go to regular check ups with your doctor than it is to pay for major surgery and serious(ly expensive) meds.
• As a PRO-crastinator...You’re not only lazy, you’re a cheap bastard and will make the most out of what ya got.
• And if you’re having trouble keeping up with the little maintenances, remember, no pressure. You’re doing it because you want to.
• And you can gamify these habits so you’re gaining xp and leveling up, instead of doing so called “chores”

2. Live Below Your Means

• Get rid of the complexity in your life.
• Live a nice, simple, easy, lazy life. Luxury items are for hard workers who are trying to impress others.
• Again, you don’t care about making any sort of luxurious or elaborate impression of others You’re a simple dude or simple gal and live a simple life.
• As a matter of fact, you’d rather them think you’re just a lazy bum anyway. No sense being bothered with superficial people that like you for superficial reasons
• Get rid of unnecessary purchases as much as possible. The more things you own in your life, the more stress factors you invite in your life
• Likewise, the more activities you do, the more you’re going to spend and the more you’re going to be running around, instead of couch surfing.
• Eliminate stress by buying less and doing less.
• They say money can’t buy happiness…

… but the truth is No “Thing” can buy happiness and No Experience can either. Money can buy you freedom and with freedom comes happiness. - Experiences and Things are just temporary, but freedom is evergreen

• Instead of putting dollars down to buy a thing or experience that you think will make you happy, plant it in an investment account to let it grow into a tree that can support your lazy hammock.

1. Automate Your Savings Use apps and built in online banking features to automatically save part of your pay heck or put it into an investment account You don’t even have to think about it.

• in order to BREAK EVEN, assuming a 7% annual interest rate, you need at least $172 in your account

To quote her: This notion of “just do it”, you have to dive in, ” “you have to keep going”, just do it -- it’ll work itself out HUSTLE! HUSTLE! HUSTLE!

...okay, that might be good for a half hour work out...but this idea of how to live your life, well that just doesn’t make any sense to me. because I’m NOT as productive. I’m NOT getting as much done. I’m NOT happy. I’m not spending time with my family. So how can I change this? “

Her kids and husband took up a lot of time in addition to working part time as an online teacher. She wanted to streamline all aspects of her life: work, family, and hobbies without all the stress.

Thus, AntiHustle Nation was born.

She goes on to talk about “Work Life Bullsh*t.”

Making the point that it’s ALL life and shouldn’t be a balancing act. You only get one shot at this.

Put LIFE first and then put work assecondary.

Stop “shoulding” yourself. What you should do is not necessarily what is right for us or your family or friends, so you end up doing things you don’t want to do.

You live a life of oblgiation rather than want/desire

Remove the word “should” form your vocabulary. It just makes us feel “crappy” having a lot of “shoulds” Should is a standard not set up by your own wants; it is something passed on to you and taught to you since you were a kid

Be lazy to remove the "shoulds".

As a coach, she takes what she learned and put a price tag on it. She has the knowldge already and is monetizing it - the lazy way!

Simplify all the products and services you sell by selling just ONE thing & wrapping it in a different package

What we’ll cover:Automate your social media accounts so you can be “passively active” on social media. Be active for your followers without even thinking about or worrying about what to post next. Gather Posts The memes, the quotes, the questions, the answers on Pocket, Google Bookmarks Remember to provide value Don’t make posts just to post. Make post that engage Your goal is not to have presence on social media, but to have influence Should you cross post? You could set up an autoschedule for ONE platform then just have it auto cross post across the rest of them Lazy, easy BUT...a post effective on one platform may not go so well on others In general, Be on the platform you are posting. You can cross post some posts though, and there’s an easy an automatic way to do that we’ll get to with the IFTTT app Setting up Cross-Posting Facebook.com/Twitter Anything you post on FB (you can link your page on FB or profile) will auto-tweet To cross post FROM Instagram, just connect your account; there’s a toggle option when you post Cross post from Instagram to FB works well actually, but don’t cross post every post in case people follow you on multiple platforms. Instagram to Twitter though does NOT show pic and only gives (shortened) caption & a link, terrible engagement. You have to manually create a Tweet & re-upload the pic, unless you use software, which we’ll get to. You can also autoshare your YouTube likes, comments, and uploads https://www.youtube.com/account_sharing Scheduling Posts: Be consistent (without the obligation of actually being consistent). Keep your post time around the same time You can procrastinate, wait until the last minute to do all your post for the next month or two in about an hour Downside of Autoscheduled Posts: Cannot post multiple photos or albums in posts Cannot post stories Cannot schedule retweets or Facebook “shares” (you have to use a 3rd party app) There’s a LIMIT to the amount of auto scheduled posts (varies per platform or third party app used) Facebook Scheduled Posts Built in option on FB (to the left of the post button) On your Group: Moderate > Scheduled Posts On your Page: Publishing Tools > Scheduled Posts Facebook only (cross-post from Twitter does not pick up scheduled posts) Cannot post albums (multiple photos) or events Min of 30 mins.

1. Autoscheduling posts on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram
2. Social Media Manager options
3. Automating posts with IFTTT

Continuing our series on So Easy Social Media, this week we look at Twitter and how to gain followers and engagement with very little effort and a $0 budget. 

1. SETUP: Include a link to your main website Write a brief description and mention the type of content in keywords that you cover/Tweet about. Don’t just be robotic or dull and list facts: add your own personality Include your city/region to attract local users. Upload a profile pic of yourself. People want to see there’s a real person (or human avatar drawing) and not just a faceless brand Upload a header photo with your brand name and logo (you can include a call to action in the bottom right too, like ”subscribe”) Keep your profile PUBLIC. Make it clear that you are an AUTHORITY. You know what you are talking about. You know the information. You share the information (that your niche wants to hear). Don’t be shy. Brag a little. PIN your post with the most engagement (re-tweets, likes, comments)

2. BUILD LISTS. Lists allow you to organize your followers into different categories to make it easier to find the type of content your looking for and the type of people you want to interact with. I recommend at least having the following types of lists: Big influencers: people with a mass amount of followers in your niche News outlets: that cover topics in your niche Active followers: who retweet, reply, and DM you)

3. POSTS Be an INFORMER, not a MEFORMER. Tell people information, don’t be focused on yourself. Tweet a lot, but Don’t “Burst Tweet” by posting a bunch within a short period of time (a couple of minutes). Spread it out over the day. 1-3pm is the ideal time

Snip-it! take snippets from your blog ,video script or podcast show notes and post them as tweets. Include a link to the main post. Shorten the URL with bit.ly or similar.

Visualize It Post pictures or SHORT (>30 second) videos. You could re-purpose your content on Twitter from Instagram or Facebook but don’t copy every single post form there You want to BE on the platform that you are posting. Twitter is about the CONVERSATION. Unlike IG or FB, you can post GIFs (short animated clips)

Quote It Take quotes from blogs or videos of big influencers and tag them in the post You can also take famous quotes, too and tweet them Vary between text and “Quote-a-Grams”

Re-Tweet It go through your lists or search hash tags to find relevant niche content worth re-tweeting. You can make most of your content re-tweets. You can optionally add your own comment to the re-tweet. When someone replies to your tweet, you can retweet their comment. Gain the attention of influencers by re-tweeting their quality content (not every single post). You may attract some of their followers. You can even re-tweet your own OLD content

Include Hash Tags but don’t go overboard. 2-3 is fine. You’ll get more engagement using hashtags than without it, but too many comes across as spammy. Use Hashtagify to analyze hashtags and find relevant ones

Ask It Ask open ended questions to get people talking “What was your favorite [blank?” “What is the best movie about [niche]?” Create engaging polls

Answer It If you receive a DM with a question and your answer could provide value to your entire audience, make it a public tweet and @ them, instead of just replying to the DM.

Do Giveaways Give a FREE thing away, but don’t make it too broad (choose book or item relevant to your niche/hobby) Have people re-tweet and follow you for entries https://kingsumo.com/

Don’t be too Promotional Remember the 80/20 rule. Value, value, sale. Don’t constantly push for people to read your blog or watch your video. Do it, but only after you’ve provided a lot of value.

Be Consistent Tweet at least once per day

Be Positive Keep the depressive and angry thoughts to yourself. Provide inspiration, movement forward, positivity. Studies have shown that happier tweeters on average have more followers than sad/angry followers. There are exceptions, like if breaking news in your niche causes an emotional reaction to your followers (eg. Fallout 76 sucking, Diablo coming to mobile). Then and only then can you share negative thoughts.

4. GET FOLLOWERS

Don’t buy them Usually fake accounts. Not real followers. Only numbers Numbers don’t matter. Engagement does because that leads to sales.

Find REAL Followers Look up hash tags relevant to your niche or find influencers Then follower their followers Keep your follow count less than double of your followers. People might think you’re just a spam account if your follower/following proportion is too skewed. Some people unfollow everyone, but that might get your actual followers to unfollow you To find out your unfollowers, you must use a third party app. You can safely follow/unfollow 40 per hour.

UnFollow Twitter USers App on Google Play by Soft Dev Team Unfollow 10 at a time, wiith an ad in between each batch. Does not hard stop you from using the app (but Twitter might soft ban you)

Mass Unfollowers for Twitter on Google Play by Dominator House Unfollow 20 at a time Hard stops you at 40 per hour

INTERACT:

Find and Join Chats A chat is a specific hash tag people use to discuss a given topic at a certain time Find a Chat Schedule on Twitter Reports sort these results by hashtag, topic, day and time and other factors. Use a tool like [Tweet Chat] to make the interface more like an actual chat room and easily hop between “rooms” (hash tags) and highlight people Be an active participant. Retweet some of the content too.

Live Tweet Tweet during LIVE events in your niche (eg. E3, SuperBowl, etc.)

Reply Always reply to your @s Answer your DM questions publicly, if it’s shareable content

Retweet Retweet your active followers (people who like and retweet you)

SUMMARY:

1. SETUP: personable, yet professional bio, be an authority real you (selfie) profile pic, PUBLIC, pin most engaged original tweet
2. LISTS: Organize followers in lists to make it easier to find content to post/re-tweet about (big influencers, news, and actives)
3. POSTS: take snippets from your own content, add photos or short video (from IG) sometimes, quote famous people & big influencers, re-tweet quality content, ask/answer questions, do giveaways, don’t overpromote, be positive
4. GET FOLLOWERS: follow people liking and commenting on top influencers and posts, unfollow your unfollowers, like most recent posts in your niche
5. INTERACT: join chats, re-tweet actives, and reply publicly, tweet live during BIG events in your nicheLvl18: So Easy Social Media 4 Twitter

Follow me on IG: @a_procrastin8r Check out the Lazy R’ Us T-Shirt Shop: http://www.LazyRUs.com or http://www.procrastin8r.com/shop SUMMARY: SETUP: Start w/ 5- 10 posts. Keep your profile as personal. Make that one link count POSTS: gather memes, quotes, activities, reposts from top influencers, repurpose your own content, hash tag the heck out of it. Be consistent with your post schedule. STORIES: include beginning, middle end, behind the scenes and personal life, make special announcements (but limit it) GET FOLLOWERS: follow people liking and commenting on top influencers and posts, unfollow your unfollowers, like most recent posts in your niche INTERACT: leave short comments on your current followers posts and send them DMs, like you normally would using IG.

How to Create a Page on Facebook:What to post on your Business Page

Announcements (new posts, blogs, videos)

The “Drive By” message Memes

Short videos and teasers (ideally under a minute, but no more than 2 mins TOPS)

How to Create a Group on Facebook: This gives them a call to action immediately upon joining and you’ll have warmer leads. What to post on Your Group:

Get a discussion going.

Ask questions.

Provide quality insight (not available on your blog or anywhere else).

Don’t promote or sell anything here. That’s what your page or website is for. This is a nit community. You can create imagery for your group, a place where you’re hanging out: chillin’ in the living room or lying on the shores of Lazy Island.

You can link to your blog where you do the selling, but the group should be strictly value and conversation, not promotion.

Go Behind the Scenes and other exclusive content

Be consistent with when you post and how often. When starting a group it’s recommended to post DAILY.

Your goal is not to constantly create content but to encourage discussion. Reply to comments and ask follow up questions.

Get people talking.

You push the boulder down the hill and let it roll by itself,

Eventually, you can kind of slide back and let the discussion take care of itself. Veterans and experts will share their knowledge and opinion with new members.

People will begin opening up their own discussions and you can begin just popping in every once in a while.

Remember you set the tone. Decide FROM THE BEGINNING if you want it to be fun and laid back or more serious.

Other people will follow your lead

You lead and decide how drama will be handled when it arises. You decide how members will be treated. You create the environment.

So create a warm, welcoming environment that people want to join and look forward to coming back to. Handle haters, spammers, winers and complainers politely, yet firmly.

When you have a warm welcoming, helpful environment full of knowledgeable and friendly people (including yourself), people will naturally associate those warm feelings with you and your brand. Welcome New Members:Bump your posts: Take time to reply to comments. Not all at once. Facebook will bring the post up , not only on the group page but also on people’s timeline each time someone comments Recruiting New Members Add people as friends from other groups in your niche. Then add You can also invite them to like your page. Page likes are really just social proof and“street cred”though ...because FB changed their algorithm to punish brand pages, causing them to show up a lot less frequently, if at all. You may get soft banned if you start adding too many people, so pace it out. A soft ban prevents you from sending friend requests for up to a few days. After this happens, just lay low and stop adding people for a couple more days after the ban is lifted. You can add ~100 per day. Facebook algorithm will suggest groups to people if it sees “mutual members” so sometimes people will just come to your group without you inviting them. Include a link on your Facebook (Business) Page

On the right hand corner of your timeline, you’ll see a button. Click it to edit it and go to Join Your Community > Visit Group

**Why Groups are Better than Pages

Facebook algorithm changed to be geared toward “quality discussion”. They don’t want people “alone” reading news headlines, thus page content, unless paid for and promoted is rarely seen in the timeline. This is a combination of two things.https://socialtriggers.com/facebook-lowers-my-reach/Groups and Personal Pages are the new way to get organic reach.**

If there's a graph out there for those things, I'm sure you'll see an increase.

I find I get bigger reach if I share a post to my personal page (from my business page) than a typical day when I don't.

If you're not reaching many people with your page's post, try sharing it in a group or personal page and you'll see the numbers go up.

Pages are really just kind of here now to create ads and pixels, and be a hub for official announcements, not to actually reach out to the community and followers like it used to be.

Summary: Create a page for promotion Create a group for discussion Add people from niche groups as friends then invite them to your group/page Give people encouragement to discuss

This week we're covering some general practices that apply to all the social media platforms across the board. We'll be covering each individual platform in the following weeks. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

8. Don’t buy followers (unless you’re paying for advertising) These are often bot/fake accounts, not real people, not real customers This does nothing other than give you a bit of social proof. Quality engagement is more important than likes/follows ...because quality engagement leads to SALES Also, a person is more likely to engage with a brand that their friend recommends than one that just has a lot of numbers. Make a real impression. Make yourself worth sharing and talking about. Don’t just play a numbers game. There are ways to get lots of REAL followers for free

7. Don’t spam Think about what bothers you about spammy users and avoid it Don’t post TOO much, even if its consistent. No one wants their entire feed filled with you. Don’t ask for likes or follows (without providing value) Don’t PM/message people with links or requests, unless you already engaged in conversation. Don’t auto chat either (auto respond/send a DM once someone follows you.) I don’t know anyone this has actually worked for (unless using a real Chat Bot, where it’s clear that it is automated and the person must consent to receiving auto messages) Don’t tag random people Limit hash tags (this varies per platform)

6. Speak to the audience of the platform, use the right tone you wouldn't bring a metal band to an opera theater. Doesn't matter how talented the musicians are or how well written the songs are. It's just not gonna connect to the audience and even if some of the audience members there in attendance are secretly metal heads; they're not there to see you shred the guitar; they want to watch an epic vocal performance in an opera. Gotta play the right gig at the right venue. Facebook = the quick update or opinion Twitter = the conversation LinkedIn = the professional highlight Instagram = the story, the photo, the art Pinterest = the How To, the DIY, the craft YouTube = the instructions, count down, review

5. Be Part of the Community Connect with people in your niche, join in the conversation Adding to the conversation doesn’t mean advertising your own shit Meaningful DMs, Retweets, comments Don’t just write your own status, story, post, video, or podcast Promote others you genuinely like/appreciate. Cross promote, collaborate, interview/debate/discuss with each other then go live or post & share Don’t just give a shout out to someone because they ask you to though. See if they offer value to your audience.

4. Stay consistent It’s not so much how often you post but WHEN you post and WHAT you post. The “peak” engagement time varies on each platform and for each niche (eg. posting about Technology vs. Fashion or posting on Instagram vs. Twitter) More important than peak times though is to pick a post time and stick with it, either something that fits in your schedule or a time you decide to consistently automate. Your audience will “follow” you, literally. They’ll adapt to your schedule if you remain consistent. Give them consistent type of (niche) content that they can expect from you. Rotate between 4-5 broad topics related to your niche If you want to build an audience, you have to have consistency.

3. Add variety While you want your schedule to be consistent and your audience You don’t want all your posts to look exactly the same or sound the same. Use your voice but don’t be a pull string doll Play around with colors, fonts, pictures, sizes, Use different emotion: happy, sad, anger Humorous and sentimental Even Howard Stern has sentimental moments, most notably during 9/11 Joe Rogan likewise Ryan Renolds when Stan Lee passed away DON’T be TOO random. Stick to your topic/niche. Don’t all the sudden bring up basketry Unless... it relates back to your main idea, mission, or message. ...or it can be tied in as a metaphor for the topic in with your niche, even if seemingly unrelated

2. Follow the 80/20 Rule (Value, Value, Sale or Give, Give, Take) Post Entertainment/Information three times for every ONE promotional or sales pitch Never sound too salesy (see number 1) People will want to reciprocate the value they receive I’ll scratch your back, you scratch mine You’re a content creator, not a sales person. Create content first, establish rapport second, sell last

1. Conversational professional speak is so yester-year (unless that’s how your intended audience speaks, but not for MOST niches) use slang, use memes forget everything you learned about grammar and English writing in school good literature writing does NOT mean good copywriting practice good storytelling play on the emotions

We’re lighting a FIRE the easy way on the ProcrastiN8r Podcast

2 weeks ago (lvl 11. I said 10 but it's 11 and I'm too lazy to re-record the whole thing) we talked about how to FIND your niche.

Today we’re looking at....

Top 10 Ways on  how to WRITE CONTENT for your niche...with as little effort as possible

Without further ado, let’s BURN...right into it

You can't just blog to everybody! Blogging to everybody is blogging to nobody.

Find. Your. Niche.

NEWSJACKING (or as I call it “Procrasi-logging)

involves finding a relevant trending topic and repurposing it for your own blog

10. Look at Your Competition

AppSumo

Look up a topic, then see the top articles related to that keyword

View social media share stats for Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit as well as Total Engagement.

Evergreen score (how long after it’s published is it still being shared?)

Take a look at magazine websites (headlines, images, language/slang used)

Subscribe to top content creators in your niche.

To find blogs, get an RSS Reader like Feedbin, Feedly, Inoreader, or Flipboard

Listen to podcasts. Watch YouTube and Twitch.

9. Read the News

Search Google News for a topic related to your niche and look at the top articles.

Go to a site like AllTop or Reddit to find topic specific news (niche specific)

Look at an article, video, or podcasts as if you’re in the room talking to them in a conversation.

What can you add to the conversation?

What insight is missing?

Can you add a joke or something funny?

8.See What People Are Talking About and How They Are Engaging

RedditList

Type keyword related to niche, find relevant subreddits

You could look at the official Reddit as well to find

But Redditlist includes Subscriber rank (compared to other subreddits) and subscriber growth.

Reddit list does NOT include all subreddits.

Search relevant hashtags on Twitter, groups or Pages on Facebook, Pins on Pinterest, stories and posts on Instagram.

See which posts are getting the most engagement and what type of emotional reaction the commenters are having.

Write content that purposely sparks that emotion in your language (anger, sadness, joy, laughter, fear, etc.)

Look at the comments of what people are saying on reddit, blog posts, and news sites. Pay attention to what’s happening in the conversation.

Are there points you agree with and could build upon with your own spin or maybe something you disagree with.

7. Find Out What People Are ASKING About

What do people in your niche want to know? What are some common problems or concerns?

Attend Livestreams and Webinars. Take notes not only on the content itself but What are people asking? What kind of comments are they saying?

Look at FAQs of sites within your niche  and build content answering them in your own words. (eg. There might be “How do I get rid of background noise like fans in my audio?” on a software like Audacity or Adobe Audition or “How do I promote my brand on Facebook” on a site related to online marketing or “How do I receive dividends?” on a stock exchange site/app)

6. Always C&P

Participate in forums and Reddit discussions yourself.

Comment on FB posts, YouTube videos, Instagram photos.

Answer questions on Quora, ehow, or Yahoo Answers.

Amazon and other shopping sites are great if your niche is more product focused; you can look at the reviews and asked questions.

Copy and Paste your own comments into a note taking app like Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, Dropbox Paper,  or Google Keep.

Tag it with relevant tags and give it a title so you’ll remember the gist of what you’re saying at a glance.

Include a link to the comments.

Color code it to make it easy to find in the future

Remember: it’s important to ALWAYS copy & paste your comment BEFORE you even post it, maybe even create a note first and copy it from there.

Because if someone deletes your comment or their post  or changes the privacy settings or blocks you (or shuts down the website altogether if it’s a forum/blog), it’s gone FOREVER.

You can’t necessarily rely on the Web Archive.org.

Keep your own records of the thing you say online related to your niche. You’ll thank me later.

5. Save It For Later

Take advantage of Pinterest’s “secret boards” to collect ideas for blogs or craft projects in the future

Similarly, you can save links, images, and videos on FB’s Save for Later feature.

You can change your privacy settings for a specific post you create so “Only You” can see it then just save it for later.

You can Save Reddit posts and comments.

Save articles you find on the web & you plan to re-write or read/comment on with the click of a button  using a bookmarking app like Evernote Webclipper, Pocket, Pinboard, or Instapaper.

You can also just use the built-in bookmarking feature in your browser, since nowadays you can signin to Chrome or FireFox or Edge or whatever and sync your bookmarks and history across multiple devices.

4. Chat it up!

In your daily life, you talk to your friends and family about the things you like. Take note of the points made in the conversation or use the recording app on your phone. The note apps (google Keep, etc) also allows to save voice notes.

Or heck, record the conversation (with permission, don’t be a creep) on your phone.

Start a forum topic and see where the discussion leads. Repurpose it for a blog post.

When you reach enough notoriety and level of trust and authority, people will come to you with questions on social media.

Actually reach out and talk to people. Hit them up in their DMs. Note the type of questions they’re asking you. And if you’re not established as a source of authority in your niche yet:

Find people that are.

Interview guests. Record it then transcribe it, using the autotranscibe tool Scribie.

All you do is ask questions and they give answers. You don’t even have to know anything.

3. Share It

Write a quick blurb about a video or photo or infographic and share it as a post

You can even re-word top rated comments already said on other sites. This is one of the laziest ways to create content.

Find something already being liked and shared then make a comment similar to one that’s also being liked/upvoted/gilded in your blog post.

2. Rinse & Repeat it

Find a way to recycle old content, dig it back up and make it look a bit different by re-wording it.

This works well if your in a niche that requires advice.

You’ll find yourself repeating the same advice over and over again.

But that’s okay, our brains learn from repeated information and stimuli.

Use an online thesaurus to get suggestions for alternative words to use in your writing.

You can also take a specific quote from an interview and do a deep dive/analysis of it. All that is is rewording what the person said in several different ways.

The only thing you are doing is taking previously written or spoken words and rearranging them or replacing them with similar words.

You simply express the content using different vocabulary.

See what I did there?

1. Go Behind the Scenes

Show pictures of your office, recording setup, gear, etc.

Show things from your personally life (the game you’re playing, the movie you’re watching, the pizza you’re eating, etc.)

You should only do this on occasion. The site is about your niche and not your personal diary.

0. Talk about what you already talked about but do it a bit different

Self explanatory. You get the point now.

What to Avoid Writing:

Verbatim (word for word)

Fake News (unless that’s your niche)

Sounding boring

NeedPix**

He started out as a "hacker and a freaker" in India.**

Eventually ended up in the US because of a misspelling in an e-mail.(another story for another time

Because of his computer skill xp, began selling software - a program that would extract files (photos, sounds, etc) from flash.

He promised a 6 hour delivery but hated due dates. He hated waking up or getting interrupted in his daily life. He was sick of it.

So he found a way to auto deliver software purchases Thus E-Junkie was born . Initially E-Junkie only supported PayPal, but eventually Google Checkout approached them, so they decided to become a shopping cart platform.

He didn't chase Google down. He waited, procrastinated, and they came to him.

Later, while relaxing by himself out in nature, in leisure, he had an epiphany where he realized what his greater purpose was - to eliminate consumption as much as possible and create a place that minimizes human and animal labor and suffering.

That's when Peepal Farm came about.

Some key points he makes about the Lazy Mindset: • He wanted to make money by doing nothing

• Didn't want to "sell his hours for money"

• $0 marketing budget. Relied on Word of Mouth Marketing. "Get people to do the marketing for you"

• Focus on GENUINE one on one connections outside your circle of friends and family to create "weak links"

• Find something you're interested in and someone doing well at it, then reach out.

• Don' be afraid of not hearing back from people

• Don't be a task monkey.

• Hone in on what you want (not material). Look where you want to go

• You can either purchase lazy freedom or purchase a "thing" that you must work to pay off.

• Saving money is easier than working for it.

• When you're working, you're not building something. You're building it for something else.

• Cut out anything that's unnecessary. Don't follow consumption patterns

• Advertisements are designed to seduce you

• Things and money are just symbols of success and not actual success

• The best luxury money can buy you is freedom

• "The best ideas come from leisure time. You're not gonna [be] coming up with great ideas while you'r e slaving away in front of a machine from 9-5. You're gonna have a great idea when you're just chilling somewhere, like hanging out in nature."

• If you're going for financial freedom, you have to decide what you're going to do with that freedom

• "I am absolutely lazy. I just want to sit"

• Even if you don't consume anything materialistic, you still need to eat. Even if you're vegan (like Robin) and eat just a bowl rice, someone somewhere down the line is putting in labor and suffering.

• "My life comes at a cost to others"

• "I have all this time (excess time) and I'm going to use it to help others"

• Lower consumption not to lower materialism but to lower suffering

• Laziness is not "I don't want to work." It's somewhat of a fear. Do what you want

• Work is a feeling, like home is a feeling more than a place

• Embrace procrastination. It's just nature's way of telling you what's important.

**Today on the show, we talk about how to save money wtihout really thinking about it.

Saving money is already is enoguh, because it's easier to just put money in a bank account than to go out shopping adn follow the latest trends.

But these apps put savings on autopilot or make it a lazy task to do.

(Crazy) Cat Lady Katherine comes on the show to share how to make Spider Man cat boots.

8. Rize

• Set a savings goal

• Automatically calculates how much you should save

• You can break down the savings amount (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly)

7. Tip Yourself

• Whenever you do a certain behavior or do something that deserves a tip – just go into the app, hit a button and give yourself a monetary reward   • Completely manual. No automatic deposit

6. Qapital

• Integrates with IFTTT (If This Then That)

If I purchase from Arby’s

If I got to the gym

If I tweet about popcorn

...then save x amount of money

5. Chime

• Round up spare change

• Save percentage of pay check

• Get $50 for each friend who opens a Chime account and receives a payroll direct deposit of $200 or more within 45 days.

4. Bank of America Keep the Change Like Acorns without fees. Round up spare change not a start up, but established brand

3. Mint auto track budget multiple accounts (savings, checking, investments

2.  Goalsetter.co focus on parents “gift cards” that deposit directly into FDIC insured account set goal, automatic transfers

1. DIGIT

Great starting point to learn how to budget/save. My favorite and not so favorite at the same time.

A text chat bot. No app download required.

Digit helped me realize that money can be saved and I didn't have to be completely broke.

Analyzes the how much and when of your spending behavior, income, and bill payments to automatically calculate and deposit small amounts in a savings account with interest.

But the monthly fee is way too high. All the other apps are free.

A minimum account balance of $3600 is required to BREAK EVEN with the fees at $3 per month or $36 per year (rounded up by some change). Most users I imagine have waaaay less than $3600 in their account. I mean let's be real about this.

It’s important to note that none of these other savings apps offer an interest rate at all though, so it might be worth it if you do have above t $3.6k in your app, but most of their customers are low income people trying to achieve financial goals and learn how to budget. That’s quite a large sum of change for someone of low income.

Charging a fee goes against their mission statement to help people “avoid hardships,” because let’s face it, any additional fee or expense in life when you’re at a certain socioeconomic level IS a hardship.

So what do you do? Just one simple step, really.

DO NOTHING. **• Don’t care about the consequences of your actions (or inactions).

• Be lazy but don't feel bad about it

• Typically you don’t completely relax and enjoy leisure because you’re still worrying about the things you HAVE to do.

• You don’t have to do anything other than exactly what you want to do, even if that is nothing • Embrace yourself in leisure.

• Look at work as an interruption to your lazy lifestyle rather than seeing procrastination as an interruption to your hard work.

• The “”standard” 40 hour work week no longer exists.

• Children are raised to be hardworking laborers that do things on someone’s else’s clock, not their own, then spend all their money they earn on consumption

• Billionaires are lazy

• Let’s say enough is enough and stop working. Stop consuming. And start living.

• Nothingness is freedom

Dave Jackson’s Podcast Rodeo Review of ProcrastiN8r

Read more about “doing nothing” in the ProcrastiN8r blog

Labor Day is misnamed and should be properly called “Lazy Day”.

The Lazy Movement  wasn’t about working harder or working more hours or working in tougher conditions, or heck, workign at younger ages. It was about working less and in more comfortable conditions and eliminating child labor.

Labor Day was first proposed by Matthew Macguire in 1882, but it wasn’t until over a decade later, in 1894 ,that President Grover Clevland signed and recognized it as a Federal Holiday.

This was just a day after he sent 12,000 soldiers to slaughter protestors on the railroad. Thousands of lives lost and all we got was a day off once a year. Quite a weak apology if you ask me.

The protestors were violent,; they started tearing up railroads and President Grover Clevland declared it a matter of national security to end it. A better way to protest would have been to just stop going to work, to embrace laziness and leisure, which is what we should do now.

Originally the holiday was not about frisbees and barbecues but about speeches and rallies to better the working conditions for laborers.

There was still beer kegs though. The American way to celebrate a holiday.

It then took over two decades more to establish a federal 40 hour work week and the banning of child labor in 1916.

Today, just about a hundred years later, the 40 hour work week is completely gone. We live in a “gig economy” where people are driving Uber or selling on eBay or doing other freelance and side “gigs” in order to compensate for the lack of fair wages and make just enough to get by and pay the bills -- put food on the table and a roof over their head.

Accounting for inflation, the average cost of a slave was MORE THAN the total annual income of a minimum wage worker not to mention a slave  actually had health care provided for and received free room and board. Those are benefits a minimum wage worker do NOT receive at all.

The current conditions of working are unfair and becoming further unbalanced.

We need a new Labor Movement, or as more properly titled, a new Lazy Movement, because let’s face it, the workers were being “lazy” back in the day, they wanted LESS work, not more of it, the very definition of laziness.

We need to say enough is enough and stop going to work. Employers can’t make money off products and services if none of their employees show up to work, if we all procrastinate with purpose for the greater good.

This hard work mantra has negative effects on the mental health of individuals living in society, as we have seen recently in the Jacksonville , Florida Shooting at the Madden Tournament.

The “go-getter” attitude, “get it now” schedule, and “let it out” emotional framework creates an environment where people are easily riled up and unable  to handle failure, then express it through violent means.

We need too sit back and relax. We need to create a more calm, peaceful, and lazy envrionment. Don’t go out shopping to hit the Labor Day Sale events; that’s too much of a hassle to deal with, and it only makes you a slave to a system of “work hard now and buy harder later”.

We need to say our money is our money and our time is our time. We want to do just enough work to get by and not do anything excessive, just like the workers pushed for in the 1800s.

It’s time for a Lazy Movement.**

Link to Blog Post Mentioned

This episode talks about the difference between being lazy and just being a bum. We also hear from Narcoleptic Ned and his Nostalgic Tales about cursive writing.

Following up with last week’s episode, we looked at the HOW of being lazy.

This week we look into the WHY of being lazy. We dive into the fundamentals of the Lazy Mindset and find out why, contrary to popular to contrary belief, you shouldn’t work hard and should instead embrace your laziness as a procrastinator. Main Points: Every invention ever since the wheel was mad eby a lazy person Laziness is a sign of evolution, progress, and technological advancement. Lazy people get other people and systems to do the hard work for them. When you’re lazy you solve problems quicker and don’t waste time running through extra steps.
