🧠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 ➡️ #2: Update, don’t rewrite Add new examples, fix outdated info, refresh links, or improve SEO.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. If you want to learn more about repurposing your best work, I’ve shared some easy steps here. Take a look. ➡️ #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. P.S. While planning to give your old content a second life, see how Pinterest could fit your business here. ​ |

Ten years ago, if you searched “desk ideas” on Pinterest, you’d mostly see nice photos, clean setups, white walls, and maybe a coffee mug. Nothing to buy, just inspiration. If you try that same search today, you’ll see prices, sizes, stock updates, a “Shop” button, and some random AI stuff (which you can reduce in Settings → Refine your recommendations → Gen AI interests if needed). What’s actually happening here is that Pinterest is quietly turning itself into a shopping window. That’s why...
One night last year, I was just scrolling YouTube like usual when a video caught my eye. The title? Why The World’s Biggest Brands All Go To Sri Lanka. Cool, another nice piece of content, sounded interesting, but here’s what made me click. It was posted by Ben Francis, the founder of Gymshark. Not a marketer or random influencer. The actual founder of a brand that grew from a garage startup to a $1.4 billion fitness business. It felt like I was hearing straight from the person behind the...
Nearly 80% of readers find my blog from Pinterest, not Google. And it’s not only Pinterest. The same thing is still happening across other platforms, too. Yes, more people now find things on social apps, on ChatGPT, and can even buy products directly there. You may have heard that a few weeks ago, OpenAI released “Buy it in ChatGPT.” When people ask shopping questions like “best running shoes under $100,” ChatGPT will soon show products from places like Etsy and Shopify. You can even buy...
