I feel that there are a lot of us out there who have already been working towards differences in our writing.
For me, I have been working on getting more affiliate links into my posts, in hopes of monetizing my blog more.
I wrote before about getting a notebook ready to keep track of things that I am doing. Things such as going back to older blog posts and updating them to add some affiliate links added where I can.
I am writing down as I go back in and edit each blog post.
I have a question for my readers---Over the years I have done a lot of different reviews. The majority of those reviews included a giveaway. Would it be ok to edit those posts to remove the giveaway portions of each post and leave them up as just reviews? Or, is it better if I just leave those alone?
For my blog, I hope to keep up with my regular posting as well as find things to post in addition. Most especially I want things to post on the days that I don't already have a regular post going up.
The only other place that I write is bubblews. I'm sure most of you know that pay isn't what it used to be there, and not even close. I still plan to stay, even with the New Year's Eve announcement. I still hope that others will also stay with the site as well.
I'm loving TSU! I'm working on posting more there than just links to my writing and putting in other types of statuses as well. I just find it a fun place to be. I follow many hashtags of interest to me such as coupons and quilting. It's an added plus to earn while socializing. It takes time to establish connections to see the daily earnings rise. I've already saved well over $200 just in the deals that others have posted in the couponing hashtags though.
Let me know what you are up to this new year!
As far as Bubblews goes, I have decided to leave them, and am in the process of deleting my old posts. It's going to take some time. There are a lot of them, and it doesn't come as an easy decision. But what must be done must be done. So, in that way I am changing my writing into 2015 as well, and will particularly be spending more time on my blog. Glad to find you here by the way.
ReplyDeleteOo, I hadn't thought about checking coupon tags! I need to try that.
ReplyDeleteAs for the reviews, I would edit out any outdated material and do updates if needed. When people look for reviews, they want information on the topic that is current. If needed, you can mention that the page is updated, but under most circumstances, it probably won't need to be stated. Which reminds me, I need to delete a blog post inviting people to join a certain site.
Yes, I think you should edit out the expired giveaway. Edit them as much as you can, add anything new then you might can think of, then use a ping service to ping it so the search engines can find the new content.
ReplyDeleteNona, what ping service do you use for your blogs? I really do need to get busy updating old blog posts too.
DeleteMarsha, I agree blog updating needs to be done and is definitely on my to-do list. I get so caught up in new that I am not repairing the old. As for giveaways, I used to just add "Closed" to the title but I am thinking removing the giveaway info might be better, maybe update the article itself with the fact there was a giveaway and name the winner.
ReplyDeleteI will be staying with Bubblews. While some things about the site are annoying, I still appreciate the journalistic writing style I earn a bit from on the platform.
I enjoy Tsu too and my earnings are climbing each day! And yes, I often search hashtag topics of interest and have engaged in discussions with some new and interesting people there.
