It’s Time for Summer Reruns…That Goes for Your Posts, Too

 

Today is the first day of summer and while work continues, it’s also the time of year when many of us want to spend time with our families and friends. 

 

Of course, if you’re an agent, there are your listings and market updates to share. However, there are times when our mind says “Enough…I’ve got nothing more to give!” 

 

Now some of the members have the uncanny ability to grind out daily posts without blinking an eye, but that has never been the case for me. 

 

Why not follow what many television series do...go for summer reruns or, opt for a remake...same premise, different examples, or perspective on the subject. 

 

Some suggestions…

-There are always holidays and events that occur every summer. Why not update them and add new ones. 

-Take a look at your Blog’s Statistics. You can sort to see posts that received a lot of views or comments and rewrite them. Or, you may find some posts that you thought were interesting topics but did not receive the attention you’d hoped they would.

 

 

-Give it today’s perspective

Seller’s market vs Buyer’s market? Nothing stays the same, even our perspectives and opinions


-Update what’s in the post

Stats change, and neighborhoods change as well. Update your photos to show what is NOW and not what was. 

 

Something to remember… 

It’s not enough to copy and paste an older post and call it a day. 

 

And one more thing…

Even though many have read your posts, not everyone has. There are new members here who are just finding their way around the blog posts. 

And, even though we may have read it, doesn’t mean we remember it!

Heck…I can’t even remember what I wrote years ago. 

 

So, go out, enjoy the summer sunshine and your favorite hobbies. You can still keep blogging.

That's a great idea, Kathy! At least for those who have posted a bunch over the years, anyway. Folks like me who don't participate nearly as much as I should need to step it up so there will eventually be an archive to repost from. :-)

Good morning Kathy! I am even looking at old articles from 3 years ago, refreshing them and creating all new content. Kind of like a remodel instead of new construction. LOL

Hi Kathy - excellent ideas here and this is what I do.  I have Word docs of all my blogs back to 2013.

Hi Kathy,

Your ideas are always well worth considering.  I look back at some of my blogs and there are many that could be refreshed.  

My biggest problem is time or should I say... lack of it.

Nina Hollander, Broker it can happen. The older blogs at least give me an idea of where to start. 

Good for you Kat Palmiotti That's a great idea. 

Wayne Martin that's not a bad idea. Even though I read your trivia every day, there are some answers that I don't remember.

Michael Jacobs with the heat we're experiencing that's all the workout I want!!!

Brian England and it's always interesting to read the new comments you'll receive. 

Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 just like our homes, our posts could use some refurbishing from time to time.

Roy Kelley we have temps close to 100 so I'd say it's summer!!!


Joan Cox I do the same on my iPhone!!! And yes, it's a good idea to make sure the information is still relevant.

Great advice Kathy! At times, I have freshened up a few past posts and gave them a new twist or direction. Many days, I can get in the early morning groove and write, while others are spent researching subjects to develop.

Tomorrow, I pick up Devyn, Kenslee and Kodah at the LV airport for a week's visit. Yay!

Excellent ideas Kathy!  Just like many TV shows are doing now. Add a clever title and it could be a winner all over again!

It is funny how many of our own posts we don't even remember writing. It is a very good idea to visit your old posts and see if they can be rerun. I usually check the comments and if most of them are from people no longer here I find a way to repost it to share with the current rainers.

Hi Kathy:

I've done some of this but not much. Past posts are a great source of material to remodel. I enjoy writing about the local events, in particular the popular ones that happen year after year...even more when I get to go!
