We all have them.
Stories that tanked. Little to no views, no engagement, no external audience. Over time, you might have accumulated quite a long list of these stories. I know I have. Stories with under 50 views.
What should we do with those? Hit delete? Let’s explore!
Pro
- By deleting underperforming stories, your profile (i.e., portfolio) is less cluttered. You keep the great stuff.
- This gives you the option of re-uploading these stories later. They might have done poorly in the past, but they could skyrocket in the future.
Cons
- Deleted content leads to broken links. You might have linked to those stories from others. These links won’t work anymore.
- Old stories can pick up steam in the future. I’ve had this happen a couple of times. 6 months old, suddenly trending. You never know.
