Building high-traffic websites in hours, simple productivity tactics, and hilarious ads…
Here are my favorite LinkedIn posts for today.
Jake Ward:
Jake walks through a super quick way to create a high-traffic website. The type of website you create is called a glossary (like in a book). With the help of AI, you can create a list of industry terms and their definitions (for any given industry) where each term is a separate page. In this case, he uses the tool Byword. Someone reading this should give it a shot. I will too! The only drawback is that it does cost about $3 for every article you generate, which is still cheaper and faster than using humans.
Dr. Christian Poensgen:
Christian discusses the problem with to-do lists and the better alternative. The problem with to-do lists is that they can be difficult to maintain. You might spend more time on your list than on completing the tasks on your list. And your most important tasks might be overshadowed by busy work. So the solution he gives is “timeboxing”. Timeboxing is essentially mapping your to-do list onto your calendar. Everything you need to do in business or your personal life gets a block in your calendar. This lets you know how little time you have, how long each task will take, and removes the stress of getting more done since you know you can’t. Another strategy I need to try out.
Ad Professor:
The Ad Professor gives 8 funny but effective ads. All of these will grab your attention because they are funny or surprising at first look. My personal favorite is the 7th one with Pineapple Insurance. I love genius fourth-wall breaks like that. This is one of my favorite types of posts. You can learn so much about creating ads just by seeing so many.
Wendy Cole:
Wendy advises on how to get things done even if you’re not motivated. The idea is that you need to have a system that makes starting tasks as easy as humanly possible. You need to start small. Work on the task for 5 minutes. Set a timer if you need to. Make it the only thing you can do at the moment. Then, once you’ve gotten some work done, take a break. To make sure you follow through with this, ask a friend to be your accountability partner.
As always, some great advice from these LinkedIn creators.
