Revisiting a Major Question About How To Treat Your Older Stories!

Are you prepared to make your stories more profitable in 2023?

One of the very best ways to make your stories more profitable in 2023, is to take a strategic look at how you treat your older stories.

The type of writing tips and helpful writing advice that new writers on Medium often search for, has to do with finding ways to improve their stats and increase their earnings.

But in truth, the same thing can be said for thousands of Medium writers who already have dozens or even hundreds of stories published on the Medium platform.

How many really great story themes or well-researched topics have you written about, only to have less than 50 people ever lay eyes on any of them?

So what do you do about it? Is deleting older stories and republishing them really the best solution?

Think about it…

Have you ever followed a link, hoping to read a story, only to get an error message because the story has been moved?

I have. And even though I’m a writer; coming from the reader’s perspective, this can be annoying as hell!

Perhaps this may not be a big deal to the writer who decided to relocate or completely delete that one particular story. But if you’re a writer who makes a habit of deleting your older stories, you may want to start considering the negative effects of doing this.

As we take a few moments to revisit one of the major questions concerning how to treat your older stories, allow me to point you to some valuable information that I’ve already written on this important subject.

The stories cited below reveal strategic ways to help make all stories more profitable.

So clearly, all this valuable writing advice and useful writing tips, can benefit both new and existing writers on Medium.

Deleting, Reviving and Making Stories Profitable

My entire focus at the moment, is on helping readers implement ways to make your stories earn you more money.

But here’s the icing on the cake for me:

In the process of helping new writers understand how I personally handle deleting, reviving, and making my stories more profitable, I also get the chance to have my previously published stories revisited.

There are three stories that I published in the past, and they relate to these very topics.

Read and see just how relevant each of these stories are, when it comes to making your stories more profitable.

To get the most insight, in a more understandable way, I encourage you to read each of these stories, in the order that I list them.

You will definitely benefit from the information you find, even if it only serves as a reminder to you, about something you already know to be true.

Story #1

In this first story, I lay out some potentially negative results that could come from deleting stories.

Story #2

In this second story (which I provided a link to from the first story), I share my own alternative to deleting stories and I even provide a perfect example of how you can also implement my method.

Story #3

This third story helps you expand on the new concept you learned about in story number 2.

Not only do you come to appreciate how to update your stories and take advantage of previously used themes and content, but you also learn how to eliminate the shelf life of the stories.

This makes them evergreen content, and just like an evergreen tree, they will continue to grow and thrive, year after year.

With these type of stories, your profits can continue indefinitely.

Final Thoughts

As you visit (or re-visit) and consider each of the stories cited above, be determined to pay closer attention to the valuable information the stories provide.

And remember this all important fact going forward:

All the tips and strategies you learn to apply to your previously published stories, should act as a ROADMAP, when it comes to the stories you write in the future.

Bookmark the stories if you need to, but more importantly, start applying what you learn on a regular basis.
