If the holiday season is a busy selling time for you, you probably didn’t procrastinate in your fourth-quarter marketing efforts. But, as you know, many consumers procrastinate—waiting until the last minute to buy holiday gifts. A Shopify-Gallup 2023 Shopping Pulse report showed that, of the 1,888 people surveyed in November, 16% wouldn’t even start shopping until December. This year is likely to have even more last-minute shoppers because Thanksgiving falls on November 28.

“I love doing taxes,” said no one, ever—except maybe accountants. But freelancers aren’t accountants. They are writers, Uber drivers, graphic designers, shift workers and others who may not have learned how to do taxes growing up. As a result, taxes can feel like an overwhelming task to tackle, whether it’s your first time filing as a freelancer or your fifth.

Getting sued might be every freelancer’s worst nightmare. A decade ago, Reyna Gobel, MBA, MPH, a freelance journalist and speaker, was asked to edit and fact-check an article about 10 celebrities who had declared bankruptcy. The online publication paid her $125, well below Gobel’s normal rate, but she took it on as a favor because she wrote for this media outlet often. Gobel looked up bankruptcy records as part of the fact-checking process.

My mom hated her hearing aids. Over the years, she tried several types and didn’t like any of them. Sometimes they hurt or were hard to put in, and other times they didn’t work well. As a result, she rarely wore them, even though she had significant hearing loss. When we had family dinners, Mom would ask “What?” after every sentence or two that I, my husband or my daughter spoke.

Why does it seem so much easier to have a candy bar every afternoon, instead of a piece of fruit? Why do we procrastinate instead of getting things done now? Why do we hit the snooze button instead of getting up to exercise? If you think it’s because you’re lazy or have no self-discipline, you can cut yourself some slack.

Marketing has a natural maturity curve. Remember when you actually used to read all of your emails? Or when Google produced more organic answers than paid ads? The next major marketing trend is AI. It has entered the mainstream and is widely available for those wanting to take advantage of it (as you’ll see – technical expertise isn’t required). AI is the latest technology that will surely evolve, just as voice search, paid ads, and social media did after their arrival.
