Hmmmm; I am going to resteem your post as soon as my comment clears. Wow! I am still a "Minnow," and it took me a bit to figure out to build relationships before I made too many posts. Even though I cannot "benefit" from reading old posts, the value is in the information of the great ones.

It is a bit strange that I have gained far more fame as a poet and short-story writer than being an applied psychology pioneer and biodynamic farmer. At least, I didn't have to stoop to endless cat pictures to gain attention. (BTW, I do like cats; however it's a very sad story of when I moved years ago and my cat, Simba, panicked from the truck ride and dashed off while I was putting stuff in storage. After moths of going back to the farm to see if he went back, I finally gave up. I find it tough to have another cat. There is ONLY one Simba.)

Here I am blathering away. You have such a wonderful idea @lexiconical and I'll be checking up on you to see if there is anything that I can do to support your **MISSION**. Be well.

I do like the idea. My content is usually current events so it wouldn't help me much. But this should be an option.

Never check promoted / never really understood it

Nice post bro

Great idea. I love it!

It's a great idea, but how much is the chance that reviving will add exposure to that post? 
I think that there should be a basic curation system that filters all the post from "new" and the ones that are not totally trash go to "new - basic". So that it's easier to find great stuff. Of course the curators should be rewarded, and not the lazy boys that upvote anything.

This is a very good idea. A newbie always wants to make good posts and is always urged to do so, but make great posts in your first bit (I would arguably say below 200 followers) is almost always paid poorly. I had this happen to me also about making brooders for baby chicks. It was a decent post, but it would be better responded to and rewarded, I'm sure, if I reposted now (with some new pics perhaps). Though, that's no guarantee!

For the first time in my year on Steemit, I rehashed a piece and reposted it. But it was fiction, it was heavily edited, it was split into two posts, and it was revived on my general account (rather than my ancient gaelic account). So far so good.... cheetah bot hasn't seemed to notice. And while the first one netted me a shiny dime, this one... has done a little better. Edited to read: it's up to $73, so it's done much better! You're definitely onto something there!

That happens to me a lot but I think is because I'm new , and I don't have power to stay, but if I can to repost again some of my post I do that now 

Good idea and post

Cool picture, i like that. thanks for share. i follow You.

@originalworks

Love the thoughts and your list of ways to pull it off.  

As the new people join they have missed the value of past posts.   We could argue that there is always more new material being created, so past posts being revived is not necessary, but...When a past post didn't get much traction because someone is new, has low power and/or low number of followers, why should quality posts not get a second chance?  I love the idea of making the  promoted task actually useful.  

voted and resteemed. Let's get this conversation going!

Its sad that some talent goes unrewarded. I want to say i feel the same about myself but again its so unfair to say so....i am definitely bias.

good one

encourage the writer to resubmit the blog;  I have been resubmitting old work (over 3 months old) for about three months.

If the Steemer is still active, that seems like a good window (i.e, not spammy) to give the post another chance at recognition

Sounds fair I am all for it

Good ideas and I see a lot of under valued work. I agree that the promoted tab is really not used at all. I never look at it. Great post!
