What is repurposing content?
Simply put, repurposing your content is just recycling – reusing and squeezing the
tea bag.
Why repurpose content?
• Creating new content is hard work and time-consuming.
• Repurposing helps your content work better and more efficiently.
Repurposing also helps…
-Improve SEO.
-Reach customers when/how they want to be reached.
-Increase the retention and impact of your message.
-Quickly test which content types your audience prefers, without much investment.
How to repurpose content?
• Repurposing content is taking something previously created and transforming it, or a section of it, into fresh content–squeezing the tea bag.
Simple ways to repurpose content:
Idea #1: Turn content into blog post & social media updates for lead generation.
• Write a blog post on every webinar and whitepaper you create.
• Write a blog post summarizing the entire webinar.
• Better yet, choose 1-key point from the webinar or whitepaper and highlight it in the blog.
• Or, try creating a 3-part blog series highlighting different ideas from a longer piece of content.
• This helps you capture different types of leads, since they can consume content where they prefer, and also improves your SEO.
• Ensure that all high-quality webinars and whitepapers are gated, so blogs push to a landing page and capture leads, rather than pushing to the asset itself.
Simple ways to repurpose content:
Idea #2: Create a nurturing newsletter
• Package up your content and send it to customers and prospects in newsletter form.
• Add top social media updates to the newsletters.
• Also curate popular industry news and updates from other sources.
• This is also a good place to add a timely or relevant sales offer.
Simple ways to repurpose content:
Idea #3: Make it visual. Create an eBook, Slideshare, video or infographic.
• Package up some of your top blog posts and put the main points in an eBook format or a PowerPoint or SlideShare.
• This also works great for customer testimonials or case studies.
• Infographics are great way to tell a visual story about data or research.
Content repurposing mantra: Create, share, repurpose, measure.

-Write a blog post about it
