In April, I published an article titled 12 Effective Ways to Find New Article Ideas. This article was presenting concrete and applicable ways to find new idea. It was based on where to find it. I this article I’ll be focusing on 10 strategies that will allow you to create new content based on existing material. Thus, I will bring your attention on how to transform or revisit articles and data to create valuable content.

1. Update an existing review.

Things change over time. They may get better or they may get worst. They may become very popular or just disappear silently! The fact is that time influences everything and you can use that to create new and valuable content. If you did or read a review in the past, you may want to update it to make it accurate with the actual reality.

2. Develop another perspective.

We often base an article on a very precise perspective. For example, we may write on the most effective way to do X. This article will present a specific perspective about X, but what about the most common mistakes while d

This is a guest post from Hendry Lee. Hendry helps bloggers overcome technology challenges in starting and growing their blogs. Get daily tips, techniques and strategies by visiting his blog at blogbuildingu.com.

Not all traffic is created equal. Thousands of visitors may not mean a thing to your bottom line. On the other hand, 100 visitors may turn into 20 feed subscribers or more if they are qualified.

Bloggers may brag about their numbers, but at the end of the day, all that is matter is money in the bank.

Why Do You Want Repeat Visitors?

Although a blog is just another web site, what makes blogging so powerful is the fact that it is not a one time interaction between a blogger and his/her readers. Interaction and communication should be integrated tightly into every blog.

Repeat visitors are in many ways better than first-time visitors. Depends on your traffic strategies, when readers come to your site, at first they may not know about you at all. They are looking for information, and hope that you are able to provide that.

Like I do every month, I took in note the top commentator of July and I execute the draw to update the Core Audience’s Corner for August. I’m very proud to announce that one of the winners is Cindy King from Get International Clients. Unfortunately, the second winner just didn’t answer to my email, so I’m gonna give the second place - at least temporarily - to the second top commentator which is Amin Motin from Sublime-Products.com. Note that I will give 24 hours in the future to send me back an answer. This means that Amin will keep the actual place if I don’t receive any feedback today from the second winner. Stay tuned to your email!

Congratulation to both of you and thank you so much for your support. I the meantime, I would like to thank everyone that support me either by being part of my readership or by any other action around my blog! Also, a special thanks to everyone commenting my posts on a regular basis. This is so much appreciated!

Don’t hesitate to give them a visit; you may discover great blogs and excellent bloggers. These 125×125 ads will be online for the next month. Then, as usual, I will reset the top commentator counter and make 2 other w
