How to Recycle your Old Blog Posts?

  • Michael Hyatt recommends, tweet your old posts once a day. Reposting works on Facebook too. Sometimes I've posted older posts on Facebook and labelled them "oldie but goodie" so people know it's not new. 
  • You can combine a bunch of your old posts into a PDF or even an ebook. You could give it away for free or you could sell it. A lot of people will pay for the organization of old content. 
  • Republishing your old blog post again and then share it to the online Social media sites. 
  • Link internally of course. Link to older posts in your new ones whenever possible. 
  • Archive 'em. In my new website design I added an Archives page and I've gotten a lot of great feedback from people who say it's been so helpful to see all my older posts at one glance. 
  • Do not forgot to interlink/add new pages and posts to your old post to enjoy PR (PageRank) juice wisely. 
  • Always use the Related Posts Plugin or LinkWithin to automate the process of listing older content at the end of your posts. Or, consider adding related posts manually for a more refined selection etc. 
Make your old blog posts evergreen.
Good luck!
