Are You Updating Your Old Blog Posts?

This past week, I spent a ridiculous amount of time updating old posts on my blog.

And let me tell you, it made me want to cry.

I’ve become a way better writer since I began working on this site, and my writing style has changed dramatically. Some of my old blog posts were absolutely horrific, and downright embarrassing.

Yet, the majority of my traffic arrives to these old, embarrassing articles. So I had to ask myself… is this really the impression I want to leave on my new visitors? My potential subscribers and potential buyers? Is this what I want them to think of my site?

Absolutely not.

One set of marketers will say that anything but problem solving niches are a waste of time, as buyers are desperate to solve their problems and are very willing to pay for an instant solution. Another set of marketers will insist that hobby niches are far more profitable, because the visitors that visit your site are more likely to return and purchase from you multiple times.

While both can be extremely profitable, problem solving and hobby niches are often tackled in drastically different ways. For this reason, we must dig a little bit further before we can decide which category would be more profitable for you.

If You’re Obsessing Over SEO, Stop!

When I began blogging seriously back in 2010, I made the same mistake so many others are doing at this very moment. I wasted an incredible amount of time doing what I thought was right, only to discover that my time could’ve been better spent elsewhere. I spent countless hours trying to bring visitors to my website, but I was doing it the wrong way.

My mistake? Trying to rank as highly as I could in search engines.
