🧠 You’re Creating Too Much (And Earning Too Little)


I don’t know if it’s just me, but you know how leftover pizza tastes even better the next morning once it’s reheated just right?

Could be just me, but I doubt it.

Anyway, that’s what updating your old content feels like. It’s not about starting from scratch. It’s about polishing what already works.

Most beginners keep chasing new ideas, thinking that’s how growth happens.

But smart people? They revisit their old posts, improve them, and watch the results climb again and again.

This is how it’s done:

➡️ #1: Find what’s already working

Check your analytics: Google Analytics, Pinterest, Instagram, or wherever you track stuff. Look for posts that almost rank high or still bring traffic. That’s where the magic hides.

➡️ #2: Update, don’t rewrite

Add new examples, fix outdated info, refresh links, or improve SEO. Even small edits can help people find you again.

➡️ #3: Give it a new life

Turn that post into a short video, thread, or carousel. Then reshare it. You’ll reach people who missed it the first time.

➡️ #4: Track your bump

After a few weeks, check traffic or engagement. You’ll often see it rise without creating anything new.

Refreshing, or I’d say repurposing, content isn’t lazy. It’s smart. You’ve already done the hard work.

Not kidding, I’m still thinking about how that pizza somehow tasted better. Maybe it’s because I used a pan to reheat it, ’cause our microwave… yeah, it’s not working.

Stay curious,

Minosh.

You sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens. So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a...

Let me tell you a secret I wish I knew at the start: When you’re building something online, talking to “everyone” is a waste. Like trying to light a fire with wet matches. No spark, no flame, just effort wasted. What I mean is, you put out content after content, post on almost every social media profile, create countless Pinterest pins, and feel like nobody’s caring. Most people do this, and it feels safe for a while, but the truth is it just gets you nowhere. And finally, yes, you just give...

The first time I tried using AI to write a meta description for one of my blog posts, I thought I could just drop in a prompt and be done there. The result? It sounded… way too robotic, like something nobody would want to read. Maybe you’ve felt the same. With all these tools around, it’s tempting to let AI do most of the work. But the truth is, and what almost everyone is not taking too seriously, is that you still have to be the boss. AI can write, but it can’t think for you. The reason I...
