Article Repurposing
Do you repurpose your articles? Here are five reasons why you should repurpose and recirculate those old articles of yours:
- You’ll find a new audience
- You can update your information to make it more current
- Rebuild links that have fallen out of favor due to search engine algorithm updates
- Your opinions on certain matters may have changed
- The language you used in the last article has changed and a new article would make the language - and the ideas - fresher
There are likely other reasons you may want to consider repurposing old articles. I do know it’s a great way to increase traffic and the SEO benefits to your website. Plus, you can rewrite an old article in less than it takes to research and write a new one. All you have to do is tweak a few things here and there and you’ve got a new article. But now that you’ve repurposed that old article, what can you do with it? A boat load. Consider:
- Resubmit it to article directories
- Post it to your blog
- Publish it on your website
- Exchange it with other website owners and publishers for articles they have written
- Put it in your ezine
- Submit it to article hubs that pay you for your content or share the revenue
- Have it reprinted in industry journals and on industry or niche websites
Virtually anything you can do with a fresh article you can also do with a repurposed article. And it’s just as easy.
That is a really great idea! I have a few articles that I could go repurpose. How about creating a content website from a series of same topic articles? And then put adsense or auction ads on it.
