Creating Blog Content: It Doesn’t All Have To Be New

Let’s say you write three blog posts every week. In one month, you’ll have 12 entries. In six months, you’ll have 72.

Depending on your field, the information you created six months is still relevant. Yet to filter down to that content is hard to do. The majority of your readers, whether they’re brand new or have been following you since the beginning, don’t remember what content you created back at the beginning. creating a blog post

So bring it back to life.

Browse through your older posts, and find a theme.

Then create a brand new post, writing a small amount of new content, and linking back to the blog posts that inspired this new post.

Let me give you an example.

Because this post is on creating content, I searched through my old blog posts on creating content. I found:

All have great information, and can help out any new blogger trying to build up their content.

But the posts are anywhere from 1 to 9 months old. And by writing up to 5 times per week, these posts were buried.

Not anymore. I’ve just revived them, and given my readers a chance to read each of the posts again.

I’ve also performed a deep linking strategy, which will ultimately help me in search engine rankings. (A deep linking strategy is making a hyperlink that points to a specific page on my blog, instead of to my home page.)

So if you’re having trouble coming up with something to blog about this week, why not revive your content?
