Blogging can be its own reward. It helps the blogger understand his subject—be it himself, his business, his hobby, or something else entirely—better than he did before. It improves the blogger’s writing ability. It encourages discipline, hard work, and consistency. And it’s fun.

One of the implicit values in our Buffer marketing is to challenge assumptions. And one of the biggest assumptions I have about our content is that we should be publishing original articles to the blog multiple times each week.

Well … what might happen if we didn’t?

To find out, we stopped publishing new content for 30 days, focusing instead onrepurposing and refreshing our content from the archives. I’d love to share with you every single thing we tried and all that we learned, both what worked and what didn’t....

The blessings never stop, it seems. My eBook received another great review today. This one is from Jeff Franz-Lien (@WickedSmartIT on Twitter), and you can also read it on Amazon. “As a relat...
