Are you creating loads of great content but feel like you’re not getting enough mileage out of it? In this blog, I’ll show you how to repurpose your content for various social media platforms, blogs, and videos to reach a wider audience.
Hi, I’m Jen from Starchelle Communications, and I’m here to help you make the most of your digital marketing efforts by repurposing your content effectively.
Why Repurpose Your Content?
Repurposing content offers several key benefits for your marketing strategy:
Reach a Wider Audience: Not everyone consumes content the same way. Some may prefer YouTube videos, while others enjoy podcasts, vlogs, or social media posts like reels or carousels. By repurposing your content, you can meet your audience where they are and increase your reach.
Save Time and Effort: Repurposing means reusing existing content, so you don’t need to create new material from scratch each time. For instance, this very blog post could easily become a reel, a social media carousel, or even a video for YouTube.
Improve SEO: More content around a single topic helps boost your visibility across platforms, establishing you as an expert in your field.
Identifying Content to Repurpose
The best content to repurpose is evergreen—content that stays relevant over time. For example, if you’re sharing tips on sales funnels or content marketing, these topics remain useful year-round, unlike seasonal content like a “How to Decorate Your Christmas Tree” guide, which is only relevant in December.
Start with high-performing content—blogs, YouTube videos, or podcasts that have already gained traction. This content is ideal for breaking down into smaller pieces to use across various social media platforms.
Effective Ways to Repurpose Your Content
Now that you understand the benefits, let’s explore some ways to repurpose your content for maximum impact.
1. Turn a Blog Post into Social Media Content
A well-written blog post is a goldmine for social media. Here’s how to break it down:
Carousels: Pull out your blog’s headlines and key points to create a series of carousel posts. Add a brief comment or explanation in the caption to encourage engagement.
Long-Form Content: Use the introduction and conclusion from your blog for longer posts on LinkedIn or other platforms. These sections are perfect for articles or extended social media posts.
Audio Content: Use AI tools to read your blog aloud and create an audio clip or reel. This is a simple way to offer the same information in a new format.
2. Turn a Blog or Podcast into a Video
If you’ve got a great blog or podcast, why not turn it into a video? You can simply read it aloud on camera, creating YouTube content or short clips for reels and TikToks. If you’ve recorded a webinar, break it down into smaller, more focused clips—ideal for social media or YouTube.
3. Repurpose Webinars into Social Snippets
Webinars are a treasure trove of repurposable content. From a one-hour webinar, you can easily extract 20 to 30 short video snippets for reels or social media posts. You can also turn the webinar transcript into a blog post or use key quotes as social media highlights.
4. Extract Quotes and Data for Social Posts
Have you shared insightful quotes during a podcast or video? Turn those quotes into engaging social media content. You can write them out for a carousel or overlay the audio on an image for a reel. If your content contains data or statistics, consider creating infographics, which work particularly well for email campaigns and websites.
Tips for Effective Content Repurposing
Know Your Audience: Tailor your repurposed content for the platforms your audience uses most. For example, LinkedIn users may prefer long-form articles, while TikTok users want short, snappy videos.
Maintain Quality: Just because you’re repurposing doesn’t mean quality should drop. Make sure each post is just as polished as the original.
Focus on Key Information: Keep your content fluff-free. Highlight the most valuable points to make the repurposed content impactful.
Key Takeaways for Repurposing Success
To get the most out of your content, follow these steps:
1. Identify the Right Content: Start with high-performing and evergreen content that resonates with your audience.
2. Choose Effective Repurposing Methods: Blogs can become social media posts, videos, or audio clips. Webinars and podcasts can be broken down into short snippets.
3. Ensure Quality and Reach: Maintain the same high standards for repurposed content as you did for the original, and distribute it across platforms to maximise reach.
Repurposing content is a smart and efficient way to expand your reach and maximise the value of your hard work. By taking the time to repurpose effectively, you’ll create more content, improve your SEO, and ultimately grow your audience.
