Did you ever go into someone’s blog site and read back over all the posts shared from a year or more back? Did you sometimes read posts and blogs, or articles and think it sounded familiar, but not be terribly concerned about that, because it still made sense for now.
When searching up a phrase that has utilised SEO and Keywords well, then you’re likely to find old blog posts as well as new ones. But does that matter? If the content is real, and relevant to your current search it may not.
Here’s where some use of AI can be amazingly helpful for bloggers. Taking old content and getting a refreshed spin on it, so you can repurpose it on your blog. Here’s an example I did of just one paragraph to give you an idea.
What I wrote in 2014 about launching a book:
Here’s a quick bit of advice for any author, with any type of book: List all the themes your book aligns with and, consider the angles to increase that alliance so that your marketing efforts are able to be doubled around that theme. Then find dates that correspond with those themes. Some examples might also include events that celebrate Amnesty, Thanksgiving, or even a saint’s birthday. There’s a lot you can do with this line of thinking and working with your publicist and publisher to get the right flavour could do wonderful things for your book.
Here's a 2023 update by AI:
As an author, it's a good idea to identify the themes in your book and find ways to strengthen that connection. This can help your marketing efforts by giving you more angles to work with. Additionally, try to find dates that align with those themes, such as events like Amnesty Day, Thanksgiving, or even a saint's birthday. What about your own birthday or an historical anniversary that is relevant to your topic. Collaborating with your publicist and publisher can help you make the most of this strategy and give your book a boost.
There is a line in there that I added personally, because it seems appropriate to do so, and I really don’t want to give AI all the credit for the update, but it was a great way to get the thinking started on how to repurpose my old post.
It’s also relevant to point out that I used this on my own original content, and I also still tweaked it a bit before deciding I was satisfied with the outcome. Even for something like a sample about doing this. You have to be careful and used appropriate precautions regarding your use of AI if you are a writer for other people. I also think it’s highly unethical to copy something from another person’s publication and ask AI to just update it - and I know that’s happening. On that point, writers who are lazy in that way are risking their reputation in such a stupid way - I mean, think about it. If you have the ability write content yourself, then do that - or pay someone else to do that and ensure that they are also ethical in their work, increasingly you’ll start to see writers and creatives using contracts that have an AI clause in them.
Whether you use AI or not, the old things you wrote can be reused. You probably give the same advice in 10 different ways every week, so why not repeat the same good advice you previously wrote in a rejuvenated way in your own published content sometimes too.
