Old Articles Still Pay
So why not reshare them?
While we are all freaking out over the lack of earnings of our stories/articles published in January (most of mine are showing zero or one cent despite a good view/read ratio etc) it has become evident that anything we published before January is still earning income if people read and engage with those.
This gave me the idea that we should all include a link to at least one of our older stories with everything we published prior to this month and encourage readers to click on, read, highlight and clap for those.
This way, even if our current article earns little or nothing, we will earn from people reading our older article, so it should counteract things. Most of us have older articles from before we had so many followers that most people have never had a chance to read.
Don’t go overboard and share links to half a dozen or more, as people don’t have the time to read everything, but just one or two should be ideal.
This is a chance to dust them off, reshare them, and help resurrect our income simultaneously. The least we can do is experiment with this and see what happens.
Here is one of my oldest, but hopefully relatable, at least at this time of the year in the northern hemisphere.
