So, you may find yourself writing and posting feverishly on Triond. In a bid to earn more viewership and hence more revenue, you write, write and write! However, have you forgotten about the early days on Triond when those articles you have written were either lowly received due to a slow startup, or simply not receiving enough recognition? And in that stash of old articles, there could be good quality articles that you have painstakingly put in effort to write on! Are you sure you are going to chunk them away?

Face it. Whenever you check out a new member’s profile and entries on Triond, you would probably check out on the latest article or poem. The most you would do is to probably check out another one or two other articles. And that is on the basis that you actually like the first article you have read from the person. How about his first article ever posted on Triond? Have you checked it out? Most of us are probably guilty of this. A lack of time, other priorities to attend to, or simply the nonchalant attitude could be some reasons why we don’t check out on the older entries of other members. Or maybe it’s just a habit.

Then again, surely many of you would agree that there are many old articles that we have written which ought to deserve some good praise, or at least, worth a read! Hands up to those who feel that those much earlier entries on Triond seem to be only “on display”. Of course, I am sure there are those who have written older entries but are still garnering a good amount of views. However, not many of us know how to write “money-earning” articles when we first started out on Triond, right?

Link Up Your Old Articles!

Well, there are actually ways to rehash those old entries! First of all, you might want to write on articles that have relations to your old articles. For example, if I were to write about a business article about how to improve one’s employability, I could include a point about preparing for job interviews. And in that point, I would link to my article on 12 Interview Tips To Help You Land on Your Dream Job.

If I post poems regularly, I could also post links on older poems that I have written that have similar themes to the new poem.

Put noteworthy articles on your profile page!

That’s the first page that everyone sees when they click on your profile. Other than reading a bit about your personality and data, it’s probably a good idea to post links to articles you think are highly worth a read.

If you have time, check these old articles I wrote!
