Today's newsletter is proudly supported by Sales.co 🎉

Sales and marketing are two sides of the same coin. And there's no better way to generate results tomorrow than through email outreach. I couldn't be more excited to partner with Sales.co to help more startups do cold email well. They handle everything from idea generation to a/b testing. All you have to do is show up for the sales call. Founded by two software engineers, their approach is data-driven and scalable, and they only care about bringing you qualified leads. Make sure to mention "Corey" or "Swipe Files."

Idea 💡

Repurpose old content to rank new content quickly.

New content can take months to surface on search engine results pages.

But you can repurpose your old content to accelerate the ranking of your new content. Here's how:

Figure out if you have any existing content that ranks for the keywords you're targeting. You can Google search using this format [site:yoursitename dot com keyword] to find ranked pages.
Then redirect (for outdated pieces of content) or interlink (for pieces that are still relevant) these URLs to your new piece. This will give it an authority boost — a sign that Google uses to increase your content’s ranking.
If you don't have any relevant content for interlinking, use an SEO tool (like Ahrefs) to determine high-authority pages on your site. Link these pages to your new content where it fits.

Your new piece of content now has an internal linking profile with authority, which will help it to rank quicker, and better, on Google.
