The Purpose Of Repurposing Blog Posts

Leave a comment

There’s three interesting things I’m going to share regarding the topic of this article. The first is that I actually wrote an article asking this very same thing back in 2012, titled Repurposing Your Own Blog Content; Good Thing Or Bad?, and a second one giving tips on how to do it titled 24 Ways To Repurpose Your Content – My Way!. Other than those two, I addressed the topic in a few different ways; the titles are:

Google Indexing And Older Blog Posts… Kind Of… (November 2023)

I’ve Lost Over 500 Articles; Why? (November 2023)

Repurposing Content From Other Blogs You’re Shutting Down (February 2019)

Right now, the two most important articles this one relates to are the first two, 500 lost articles and Google indexing issues; let me explain.

Getting Positive Publicity Through Interviews

Leave a comment

Here’s a truth; I want to be famous. I want to be well known. And I want to make money from it. I don’t want to be infamous; I don’t want to have to do something illegal or be outed for something bad to get that fame; I’d like to think my integrity is higher than that. 😀

Yeah, I was a wedding singer!

I’ve given this a lot of thought and come to this conclusion. The best way to get positive publicity is through doing interviews. This, of course, presupposes that you’ve done something that’s worth getting interviewed about. However, if you have this part covered, it’s the best way to go.

What Happened? Where Have I Been?

12 Comments

Before this post, the last time I wrote an article on this blog was back in March. Before that happened, I’d been keeping a schedule of writing an article a week to generate more traffic to the site, not necessarily to market any of my products, but because I actually enjoy talking to people who leave real comments here.

I’m back!

Throughout the years, I’ve always tried to stick to writing at least once every couple of weeks. When I started this blog, I was writing almost daily; I wrote 1,000 articles in less than 3 years back in the day; blogging was fun. Because of travel as a consultant, sometimes it was every 2 weeks. But in general terms, I kept my content up to date.

My Top 19 Favorite Classical Pieces

6 Comments

This is something different, in a way. I’ve posted on my top 10 favorite TV shows and my top 16 favorite sci-fi movies of all time and, just a week ago, I listed my top 10 favorite operas. I’ve done a lot of these in the past, and the format’s have changed over the years, as I’ve learned more about how blogging is supposed to work. 🙂

Now, it’s time for my top 19 favorite classical pieces ever. But it comes with a twist. Instead of just saying I like Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, which isn’t on the list so it’s a throwaway favorite, I’m indicating which movement is my favorite if it’s a long piece. That is, if there is a favorite within a long piece, which you’ll see what I mean as I go through some of these.

My Top 10 Favorite Operas

8 Comments

Every once in a while I like to put together a post like this one. Most of the time they don’t get a lot of comments because, well, I figure that folks may look at something like this as taking a lot of time, and I know that the particular style of music or movie doesn’t fit everyone.

So why do I do them? Two reasons.
