Cross-posting republishes substantially the same article on another publication or website to gain additional exposure. Treat it as a distribution choice, not an automatic win. section 15.0
Use this quick test before copying an article:
- Publish quickly when the additional exposure costs only a few minutes. section 15.4.3
- Skip platforms where earlier posts attracted little readership or engagement. section 15.4.3
- Adapt the emphasis to the destination audience instead of copying blindly. section 15.5.4
- Request links to your blog, project, or company; ask for the original post’s canonical URL when the copy is close. section 15.5.4
Change the emphasis
A post about a FakeDB migration and Zig should emphasize migration mechanics for a FakeDB audience, but foreground Zig lessons for a Zig audience. section 15.5.4
