If you've had a blog for at least six months then you've got a wealth of content that you can re-purpose in order to generate even more traffic to your website.
Here are five tips for making use of all of that content that's languishing in your archives.
1. Convert articles into PowerPoint presentations
Copy and paste the content of the article into PowerPoint slides. You can add images, transitions and animation effects if you choose. You can record an audio track to accompany the slides and even insert intro and out-tro music that will come in before and after the narrator's voice. Save the presentation in a video format and upload it to your favorite video sharing sites. Embed the video on your website and include a link back to your site from the sites where you've uploaded it.
2. Post audio files with an image and publish on video sharing sites
Create a static graphic image with the title of the audio, your name and the name of your site.

Don't forget to also embed the video on your site as well.
3. Use slideshow animation software
Try one of the many slideshow animation websites such as animoto.com where you can upload your own text, images and audio to create visually stunning video compilations.
