Squeeze Every Drop: How to Repurpose Content for Maximum Impact
In the world of content marketing, creating high-quality content takes time, effort, and resources. But what if you could squeeze every last drop of value from your existing content? That's where the magic of content repurposing comes in!
Repurposing content is like giving your content a new lease on life. It's about taking your existing assets – blog posts, webinars, ebooks, etc. – and transforming them into different formats to reach new audiences and maximize your impact across both marketing and sales channels.
Think of it like this: a blockbuster movie starts in theaters, then moves to DVD, then streaming services, and maybe even cable TV. Each stage brings in a new audience and extends the life of the film. Your content can follow a similar journey!
Here's how to get started with content repurposing:
1. Identify Your Most Valuable Content:
Start by digging into your analytics. Which blog posts get the most traffic? Which webinars have the highest attendance rates? Which pieces resonate most with your target audience? These high-performing pieces are prime candidates for repurposing.
2. Choose the Right Formats (for Marketing AND Sales):
Consider your target audience and the platforms they frequent. A blog post can be turned into:
Marketing Channels:
Social media posts: Share key takeaways, quotes, or visuals on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
Infographics: Transform data and complex information into easily digestible visuals.
Videos: Create short animated explainers or record a quick video summarizing the main points.
Email newsletters: Include snippets or summaries in your newsletters to drive traffic back to the original content.
Ebooks and guides: Combine related blog posts into a comprehensive ebook or guide.
Sales Enablement:
One-pagers: Condense valuable information into concise, sales-ready documents.
Presentations: Repurpose webinar content or blog posts into compelling sales presentations.
Scripts and talking points: Equip your sales team with persuasive language and key takeaways.
Case studies: Transform customer success stories into powerful sales tools.
Product demos: Incorporate blog post content or webinar highlights into product demonstrations.
3. Give it a Fresh Spin:
Don't just duplicate your content. Add value with each repurposing effort:
Update information: Refresh statistics, examples, and data.
Change the angle: Approach the topic from a new perspective or focus on a specific aspect.
Use a different tone: Adapt the language and style to suit the new format and platform (or target audience).
More Examples of Content Repurposing in Action:
Webinar magic: Turn your webinar recording into a series of short video clips for social media, a blog post summarizing key takeaways for your website, and a concise presentation for your sales team.
Gated content strategy: Offer valuable content like ebooks or webinars behind a registration form for a limited time. This allows you to generate leads and build your email list. Later, release the content to the public for broader reach and use it to equip your sales team.
Customer testimonials: Repurpose positive customer reviews into social media posts, website testimonials, case studies for your sales team, and even short video snippets.
