I am an Internet Marketer and blogger. One of my main aims is to give value to people that are interested in making living online especially newbies. Another thing that I enjoy is making new connections with different communities online hence one of the reasons why I am here.

Article trafficWe are now at a stage on the Internet where content is definitely King. Google loves content and the more quality content you have on your site the better your site will rank. ‘Content is King’ is not a phrase that you have not heard before it’s a phrase that is used everywhere.

But there is a problem, the problem being that most people don’t like to write articles as they take time, effort and a lot of energy to complete.

Problem number two is, once you post the article that took lots of effort to create and it get’s indexed by Google it is now considered old content in the eyes of the search engines.

In this article I’m going to show you how to get much more mileage out of one article and there will not be any mention of article spinning.

1# PowerPoint Presentation

This is a quite a powerful little technique that I’ve been using of late. What you have to do is turn your article into a PowerPoint presentation and then submit it to the top PowerPoint sharing websites like slideshare.net.

When you have created your PowerPoint presentation using your article you can then share it with your social networks like Facebook ,Twitter and LinkedIn.

Here is a little tip, join10 big groups on LinkedIn that are within your niche because slideshow.net lets you share your slideshow presentations with all the groups you have joined in LinkedIn.  With this little tip you will get around 300 views within 24 hours.  You also get a back link to your website from the presentations that you create.

Or if you’re lazy you can go to fiverr.com and pay someone five dollars to do the whole job for you.  I found a gig on their where someone will turn your article into a PowerPoint presentation and then upload it to the top five PowerPoint sharing websites for five dollars.

2# Turn Your article Into A YouTube Video

Now you can either create a video with you speaking about the article. If you feel uncomfortable doing this or if you are camera shy you can create an audio with pictures showing in the background or you can use the PowerPoint presentation that you uploaded to slideshow.

Also you don’t have to just upload it to YouTube you can also upload it to all of the big video sharing websites like Daily Motion, Vimeo etc using Tubemogul.

This also works the opposite way round i.e. you can turn your YouTube video into an article and then post it on your website, create a PowerPoint presentation with it and bookmark it.

If you do decide to make a video of your article with you speaking then, you can strip the audio out of the video and then post it as a podcast.

There are so many different ways to get extra mileage out of every article or video that you create.

3# Bookmarking

This is a must, join onlywire.com. Only wire is a bookmarking service where you can bookmark anything with just one click and then they will submit your article to 35 of the top bookmarking services like Digg, Reddit, Stumble, Facebook, Twitter and more.

The only downside is that you have to joined 35 bookmarking sites manually which can be quite time-consuming. There is an easier way like I stated earlier you can go to fiverr.com and pay five dollars for someone to do the signups for you.

Onlywire.com also has a WordPress plug-in where as soon as you publish your article it will be automatically bookmarked.

Oh and by the way this same method also works using Ping.FM (I use both)

4# Retweet Old Posts

This is a WordPress plug-in that retweets your old posts to your followers. So all the posts that are on your WordPress blog will be retweeted every four hours if you choose.  The plug-in is called “Tweet Old Posts” and is definitely a WordPress plug-in that you should use.

When it re-tweets your old post it also stumbles it. You can also link twitter with your Facebook fan page so when an old post is re-tweeted your fan page will be updated also. This is a very good idea because your new followers and fans may not have read your old post before.

Final Word

I have just shared with you some powerful Internet Marketing techniques on how to get more mileage out of an article. Some of these tips may be known some may not be, but if you put these tips into action your article will get maximum exposure.

    Re-tweeting is probably one of the easier ways to get more mileage out of your article. All you have to do is copy and paste! Just be careful, as always, to not have too much duplicate content out there. Google doesn’t like that and can penalize you for it.

      Thanks for your comment Norm, there’s no need to worry about duplicate content because there is none on your website. I have had my content republished on the internet multiple times. Google does not penalised you because you’re content appears on other websites and networks.

      If you republished the same article or content on your own site then you could get penalised this method does not do that. All you are doing is transforming your article into different mediums and then publishing them on different networks to receive different traffic.

      The “Tweet old posts” Plug-in works great, it took me months to find it and it was only on the off chance that I found it. Some guy in a forum was speaking about it in passing thank God I read that post because it has made my life so much easier Because now all my old posts get Tweeted once every 6 to 8 hours.

    Hey Robert,

    Video is very powerful way of promotion and people like to see videos for any solution, reason is simple video can convey and show how to do something to get best out of it.

    I think creating a video with your power-point pages is really awesome idea and you can make an interesting video.

  4. Saikat says:

    Yes, I think the main point is to create the article, be it written content or video to be “sticky”. I love the point no.1 many of us do know how powerful that can be to send tons of targeted traffic to the website.

    My next project is to create a software to submit the top 20 document sharing sites :-)

    kezanari, I’m creating some slide shows with Slide Rocket which is cool because it can be used with this technique. Although I don’t use LinkedIn for my blog, it’s a shame that I can’t have two accounts because I use one for work related issues and I can’t mix the two. I’m also using TubeMogul to distribute my videos, however I can’t use that for Vimeo because you need to have Vimeo Pro to upload with TubeMogul.

    Thanks for the tips.

    I must say, all of the ideas mentioned above sound awesome and more over, doable! I love the concept of converting your article into a powerpoint presentation with a back link to your website. This is something that we all should try. Thank you for sharing.

      says:

      When you upload your PowerPoint presentation to these websites your back link gets indexed within hours by Google because these sites have high PR. You should definitely give it a try Because if you have got an excellent article then you might as well converted so that you can repost it on other mediums and get some extra exposure and visitors to your site.

    I like the second option of turning your article in a video. I know many people rather listen than read. Now, that may be because they’re too lazy to read or just because when they hear it rather than reading it, they sum it up better, their mind compiles it better. Visuals are always better than words.

  9. Tory McBroom

    says:

    Another way to breathe life into an old post is to simply link to it from newer posts. The SEO benefits of interlinking between posts on your site are undeniable. Plus, if I notice an old post sitting on the top 10 without any backlinking at all, I can usually make it jump up a few spots by simply linking to it in a new post with my chosen keyword.

    Hi Kez, thanks for sharing your ideas.. I like the tip, tweeting old posts. I bet almost all of us forget everything after publishing post.

  13. Ray says:

    I use onlywire from time to time. It is a little tedious and time-consuming and it tends to mess up on me sometimes, but for free I can’t complain. I have been using twitter buffer to schedule a mixture of old and new tweets throughout a given day. It is easy to use and schedule, but one more thing to keep track of and queued up. There are a couple of other sites you can bookmark to in a automated or semi-automated manner. The backlinks you get from them are not great, but not terrible either.

      thanks for your comment Ray, onlywire does mess up on a few submissions but most of the time it’s about 70% successful which is great. but like you said “it’s free so you can’t complain”. Back links from social bookmarking isn’t as powerful as it once was but you’re not really using them for link juice you are using it to spread your content around more.

      onlywire is a website that posts your content to all the main bookmarking websites on the Internet.

      Social networking website like Digg, stumble upon, Facebook Etc have a different audience and you will find that some people like Digg and others prefer reddit so when you bookmark your article at these sites you are exposing as many different communities to your article as possible.

      Spamming is when you give people something that They don’t want over and over again but these communities Have categories of where you can post your article So it’s not spaming

    Kezanari,

    These are great. It is very important, in my opinion, to get the most out of the stuff you write. in addition to the four tactics he talked about, you can also use them for an e-book.

    Of course you will need a few related posts then with a bit of work you can take these related posts and combine them into a whole and at least have a freebie giveaway or something to give to your e-mail list as a special offer.

    I read your article and about half of the comments, so if this is stating the same thing someone else already did, my apologies.

    Although you are 100% correct in everything you said and will be a big help to anyone reading it that did not think to do all those extras (Didn’t think about PowerPoint myself). I do have something to add about the extra content, specifically the videos.

    If you post the videos to your own site first, their is a good chance you could get that video ranked and bring people to your site instead of sending them off to YouTube (where they sometimes get sucked in and never leave).

    AFTER you get your video indexed in Google on it’s own, then submit to all the big video sites with a link back to the already indexed video on your site.

    Very nice information – I love reading articles like this.

    Some people that I am learning from right now have told me that they think OnlyWire is spammy, and so they don’t use it. They only use “whitehat” techniques and prefer to manually submit to a few quality sites. You obviously don’t agree with that, but is that because you don’t think think OnlyWire is spammy, or because you think that moderate “spamminess” is OK?

  56. hi Kezanari,

    I have found your article and the comments here to be very informative and helpful.

    I am always hesitant about trying new things, especially when it comes to installing things on my site or my computer. However after going through all these comments and seeing the response on the tweet your post plugin, it gives me a greater confidence to give it a try.

    I don’t know a thing about powerpoint presentations and video creation but i will have to go and get some info on these, so i can utilize them in bringing traffic to my website.

    Again, the info you provide here are interesting and of great value.
