Add value and the money will come!
That is a version of a statement that we hear quite often.
I just Googled "add value as an entrepreneur"
Immediately I saw an article from 2009. It is incredible that something for 2009 would rank on the first page but that is a different conversation. The headline is " Adding Value: The Future of Marketing"
That headline implies that adding value is a brand new concept just discovered in 2009. HA!
Or perhaps you have heard "be of service and your business will grow"?
These are obvious statements though right?
We know that we should add value. Who would buy something or read something that didn't somehow add value. The value is arbitrary though. How do we define value?

We just launched a new blog recently and when checking the Jetpack stats, I noticed something seemed odd. According to my quick stats view it was already a new day. Now, I was pretty sure that it was only late in the day and I had not actually worked through the night. Nope, I really love my sleep.

This is when I knew that I had forgotten to make a change inside of my WordPress General Settings.

Just the other day, I shot a video for Instagram and it was a mess.
I said, the heck with it and released it anyways.
But, I want to do more quick Instagram and Twitter vides. I know that there had to be a better way.
This is when I had an aha moment.
I can make quick helpful videos with Screenflow and then put them on Instagram.
This is what I did and it worked well. It also allowed for better quality videos.
So here is my process.

We will cover two options in this post. The first option is how to merge content and create a 301 redirect. The second option is how to completely delete a blog post and create a 410 notice.
