The Perfect Recipe for Rejuvenating Your Stale Content

Canadian Thanksgiving, like all good things, came and went by too soon. It’s a time for being thankful for what we have and celebrating with our families. It’s also the time when we go out and buy the biggest turkey in the store without much thought about what we are going to do with the leftovers! 

Creative types will breathe new life into leftover turkey, creating soups, pasta dishes, pies and stews. Others with no time on their hands or less of a creative streak may just end up tossing those leftovers in the trash.

The Perfect Recipe for Rejuvenating Your Stale Content

If your content is turning as stale as that leftover bird, you might want to look into a few tried and tested recipes that will reinvigorate your marketing efforts and give your target audience something to get their teeth into.

Here are some ways you can get extra mileage and value from your existing content with the least amount of effort:

  1. Always stay consistent - So you started off your content marketing by posting a new blog every day, sharing it on social media and responding to comments? Now you’ve been doing that for a few weeks and the novelty has begun to wear off slightly. Well, that is understandable. Committing to a daily blog is hard work and could mean you are creating content just for the sake of it. What’s more, it’s a rather tough schedule to maintain. Why not create a post a week or even a longer, more meaningful post every month? Your audience will get used to your schedule and you’ll be able to write better quality content.
  2. Don’t try to be good at everything - If you are good at creating engaging tweets or engaging with your audience on Facebook, concentrate on these talents. If you are good at creating compelling blog posts or web copy, focus on these. Very few individuals and organizations can claim to excel in all areas of content marketing.
  3. Create one voice - When you have too many people getting involved with your content creation, the noise levels can get quite loud and confusing for your target audience. Try to use one clear and autonomous tone and style for your website and all related content that you create.
  4. Narrow it down and change your focus - Sometimes you might want to focus on the same content for a few weeks. This might be because you are publishing a series of advisory articles or leading up to a new product launch, for example. Other times, you might want to change focus completely and throw your audience a curveball that sparks their interest and imagination.

Don’t throw that all that wonderful content you worked so hard to create. Revive and rejuvenate it with some creative content marketing recipes instead.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases.

5 Proven Ways to Improve your Website Ranking

The rules of SEO can often feel elusive, as if SEO is a great big experiment in which the parameters keep changing. Search engines keep updating the algorithm. User behavior is evolving and adapting to circumstances, all the time. You don’t have any control over how pages rank, or do you? Google will never share how it determines SEO ranking. Customers change how they search and shop. We may not fully understand the complexity of search engine algorithms, but we can test different elements of a webpage to see how customers and search engines respond to your content marketing strategies. It’s called split testing.

Revitalize, Refine, Repurpose

The Pareto principle is also known as the 80/20 rule. About 80% of your best results will come from 20% of your efforts. When you apply that to a creative endeavour like content marketing, you might be undervaluing some of your content creative efforts. It can be expensive to create content, from scheduling videographers, photographers, models, or even having quality copywriters write a blog post. Chances are that you have some valuable content that can be recycled or repurposed with a little elbow grease.
