So, you have been writing your blog for months or even years now. You have to constantly come up with new and interesting things to post about. It gets more difficult to stay original as time goes by, so you search the web to see what others are saying about your topic for ideas. We all do these things.
But try this. Next time you are looking for ideas to blog about, scan through your own blog. Go back into your archives. You have posted a wealth of information there already.
Has anything changed about a topic you posted about a long time ago or a few months ago? Are there updates you could add to some of those posts? Are there new things to add to an old post?
Trackback to your old posts and provide fresh new information about the topic you posted about before. Quote a small portion of the old post into your new post. You’ll not only find a lot of new things you can post about, you will increase the number of pageviews to your blog because people will click over and also read the older post.
Don’t just post and forget.
Thanks for the insight, I know I am always wondering what to write next.
