The Time My Cat Outperformed My Marketing Skills

Have you ever been schooled by a cat? Because I have.

A few nights ago, I was tossing a ball across the living room, and my cat, who usually only responds to snacks, suddenly became an all-star athlete. He caught the ball, brought it back, and looked at me like, Again.

This went on for five or six rounds before he flopped on his back, clearly thinking, “That’s enough free work for today. You’re welcome.”

And in that moment, I had to laugh because my cat, in his infinite feline wisdom, had just taught me something profound about marketing.

He didn’t overthink it. He didn’t try a hundred different things. He found one simple action that worked, did it consistently, and got exactly what he wanted.

Driving traffic to your website is no different. Most people over complicate it.Trying to be everywhere, do everything, and burning out in the process. But the truth? It only takes a handful of proven, repeatable strategies to get the clicks, leads, and results you’re after.

Lesson From a Furry Marketing Genius

Here’s the deal: you don’t need to throw money at ads to get results. Sometimes, simple, consistent actions, like engaging in the right communities or optimizing what you already have, are all you need to start seeing traffic roll in.

And the best part? You can do it without spending a dime.
