By now, you have so much content on your website. You don’t want to waste it. Using it once and then moving on doesn’t seem very efficient. You need to take old content and use it in innovative ways.
No doubt, you have heard that “Content Is King” more times than you would like to admit. Annoyance aside, it it absolutely true when it comes to social media success for business. However, it is imperative that your content’s perfect.
If you have a business blog, you understand what a challenge it is at times to constantly come up with fresh and exciting content on a regular basis. It forces you to be creative, innovative and compelling at once.
Bloggers and blogging have been at the forefront for quite a while now. The quality of blog writing certainly doesn’t have to be inferior to journalistic writing. However, objectivity, fact reporting and the integrity of the writing are still critical.
You have done an amazing job of writing top-quality content and your readers have reacted extremely positively to whatever you have posted for them to read. Potentially, there can be two different content phases: original content and recycled content.

I recently received an email in my inbox with the subject line “Hi Lisa!” The from address only said “Suz.” I get hundreds of emails a day and this is the type of thing that I would normally just send to my spam folder – between the dubious subject line and the cryptic “from” address, it really triggered all my red flags. But I had just sent a few photos, via Facebook, to a friend named Suzanne and thought that maybe she was replying to say she received them. I opened it and was surprised to see that it was a note from an old client, writing to set up another appointment!
Many people now use email as a primary way of communicating with friends, family, co-workers and others who are important to each of us for different reasons. You may be contacting someone about employment, a business venture, following up with customer service or emailing instead of using the telephone.
