Let’s be honest, creating consistent content is tough. As a fairly new blogger, I create all of my photos and graphics. So, I definitely understand how gruesomely tiring it can be. I’m not a graphic designer and created some mediocre content at the beginning of my blogging journey. As I’ve grown, I’ve gotten better at this thing which is why I often like to update my older posts. In this post, I’m going to show you how I like to refresh my older content within minutes.
3 Ways To Refresh Older Content
- Update Your Photos
In the first few months of blogging, I was using a lot of stock photos because I wasn’t sure the type of photos I wanted to take or what aligned with the post. Update your photos and apply them to older blog posts. Having a set of fresh photos can bring any old content back to life and not to mention it’s great for your SEO.
- Update The Times and Seasons
As a blogger, I like to talk at the moment with words like last week or last year. Basically, as if it’s in the present. Nine times out of ten, someone new is coming to your blog and they may have stumbled across an old blog post. You want to try to go back into those older posts and update those words that are specific to a day and try to use them in the past tense.
- Update Pins
Let’s start with the basics.
Tailwind has been my absolute favorite tool in my blogging journey. I remember when I first started blogging, I had no idea how to gain traffic to my website. After months of research and digging, I came across Tailwind. I was able to up my Pinterest traffic by almost 150%! An absolute game-changer for my blogging career. *Please note, these are my personal results, but Tailwind also publishes the Typical Results of Tailwind Members every year, so you can see exactly what the average growth rate looks like for their members. As I stated before, I’m no graphic designer but this new resource that I’m about to tell you about is the simplest way to refresh older content.

Tailwind Create is a new and super easy tool that makes you feel like a pro at graphic design. What makes Tailwind Create so fun is that it allows you to enter your website/blog URL that you’re wanting to create a pin for. It immediately shows you so many different pin variations with images pulled straight from your URL. I literally can create 5 pins in less than 10 minutes!! What used to take me forever to make, I can now make with efficiency and no time wasted. One thing I love about Tailwind Create is how you can filter the designs by your niche, or the type of post you’re creating a pin for.
