Link building, directory submissions, SEO etc etc is a long, boring and repetitive process... Whoever loves doing it, feel free to do it for me So how do you motivate yourself? Is it money? If pennies were coming out of my computer with every adsense click that would work a treat. A few numbers on the screen with a bit of paper at the end of the month that only turns into more numbers on my card... does not... So far my best motivation was locking myself in this room, turning off msn and other distractive programs while banging my head against the desk...
its become more like daily chore then something fun, thats why i split it up. One month ill link build, next month ill tweak the site etc Definatly far away from being about the $$, since my site aims at giving advice i think of every member that joins and another potential life i can save Sounds painfull, maybe you should see a shrink
We have had such thread before, but they are cool, and their are always new members who can post their thoughts. I get motivated by listening to goa trance music and bjork. I think the uplifting music keeps me going on days when otherwise I'd be depressed.
I get motivated by creativity. Some clients can really motivate you when you come accross the right ones. The best projects seem to be the easiest ones. What I don't like is the whole industry of seo. I try to emphasise on creating quality, it makes things a lot easier when you have some cool sites to work with than just a piece of garbage that you need to get ranked somehow.
Yeah thats really true. Its s much easier to work on somthing that your interested in. Than somthing that you find boring.
i put on a screensaver that'll play after 3mins ..."you should be working right now...you gotta pay for the rent, electricity and food!!"
I guess it is a bit easyer working for a client because you have to get it done on time. So you just sit down and do it. When you are working on your own site you can always say: " Yea, il do it tomorrow".
