I also find that RECYCLING blogs and articles handy. Articles I wrote 4 years ago that few people read are now being read daily by throngs at Author's Den. Those articles support my branding now and help readers to decide whether I'm worth the time investment and a book purchase. So never rule out everything you've written. BTW, the only caution I have is I'm lean on what I blog, because Blogging can be a real drain on the creative juices. It's almost a necessary evil now. I say, your chief Blog site should be on Amazon, and preferably on an Author's Blog account, where your articles show up on your product pages. Everything should spin off from there.

Yes, I've written a few articles on AC. But, it's not worth my while, because they only pay American residents. I'm not, so it's a waste of time for me.

AC is a great place to write. I have about 50 or thereabouts ... articles in there. Since I am not an American citizen, all that they pay me is $l.50 per thousand read as bonus. They have even allowd me to publish without their editing. Wish you great writing
