Sometimes when I get lazy, feel sick, or just don’t want to do blog posts, I write my lazy posts or pull out something I had saved a few weeks back. Some examples of posts I would consider being lazy include:
1. YouTube video blogging – Often then not, a blogger will simply add a video and write a short comment. (a great to get content while at the same time being lazy.)
2. Heaving Quoting – Just quoting most of your article from somewhere else and writing a couple comments. A great way to get content, but did you really do any work?
3. Stealing posts – Some bloggers just steal posts outright, without even giving credit where it’s due.
4. No nonsense, bad grammatical posts – You know these posts. They don’t make sense and the grammatical errors make it just as hard to read. Now often I also don’t read my posts twice, but it can make a world of difference if you spend the time to read your posts twice. Would you hand an essay in to your professor that you never read through twice?
So why does it matter if you write lazy posts?
If you have subscribers, and constantly give them nothing worth reading to read, guess what? They will unsubscribe. Besides for Google traffic, subscribers are a great source of reliable traffic and though it’s great to have constant content, you don’t want to bore your readers as well.

Stealing posts is just down right wrong. I can’t believe how many blogs do that.
Video blog posts are good filler articles. I scatter them between real posts to give more of a variety of content from time to time.
