Online marketing strategy of Reusing old posts for social media Updates and sharing

Reusing old posts for social media – Update content : to Be done by Content Manager

If there’s a page which was published more than a year ago and there is outdated content mentioned, update the page with the latest information if there is a need.

Update Blog Headline

1. Change the heading from what was used the previous time.
2. Make sure the heading is catchy and attention-grabbing.
3. For example, Let’s assume the page title says ‘New Economic Citizenship Program and aspects to consider for investing in Turkey’ which is not very attention-grabbing. However, if the same link is posted Facebook with the headline ‘5 types of investment which can get you a Turkey residency’, it will grab more attention and will invite more people to click and visit the page. The next time the same article is reposted, give the headline ‘You don’t need a visa to Turkey if you belong to these countries!”  The basic principle is to use the second person (‘you’)  and highlight how it will benefit them.
4. Also make use of high converting title words like

1. “Top 5 …..”
2. “Top 10 …..”
3. “Best 5 …..”
4. “Best 10 …..”
5. “How to …..”

5. You can do a quick google search and see what TOP results are using
   

Update Blog Thumbnail : To be Done by Designer

1. The image can be any image related to the topic in question
2. From SEO point of view, the image name should be related to the topic. Therefore for the featured image of every blog post on your website should have a name. Lets again assume this page title is ‘5 types of investment which can get you a Turkey residency’, then set the image name as ‘‘investment-for-turkey residency.jpg’’ so that search engines can find it on image searches.
3. The alt-text should also be the same as the SEO title without the dashes and file extension. For eg ‘Turkey Citizenship by Residence’.
4. Update post images – Add new image in post
5. The image should be connected to the article in question.
6. For example, since the article mentioned above is about Turkey, use any popular landmark of Turkey, panoramic views or Turkey or images showing Turkey flag/passport.
7. The visitor should be able to form an image of immigration to Turkey by looking at the image.
8. Avoid repeating the image while reusing old posts.
9. The image and title posted on social media have to be different, each time.
