What is Content Repurposing?

Content repurposing is the practice of taking existing content and reworking it into new formats to extend its reach, reinforce your message, and improve ROI. Think of it as recycling—only smarter and more strategic.

Why Repurposing Works

  • Saves Time: You already did the research—now repackage it.

  • Boosts SEO: More content means more opportunities to rank.

  • Reaches New Audiences: Different people prefer different formats (video, audio, text, etc.).

  • Increases Consistency: Reinforces your core message across platforms.

Common Repurposing Formats

  • Turn a Blog Post Into a Video Script

  • Break a Long Guide Into a Series of Social Posts

  • Convert Webinar Content Into a Blog or E-Book

  • Use Podcast Episodes to Create Quote Graphics

  • Pull Statistics and Tips Into Infographics

  • Summarize Key Takeaways Into a LinkedIn Newsletter

How to Choose Content to Repurpose

  • Top Performers: Start with blogs, videos, or emails that have already done well.

  • Evergreen Content: Focus on content that stays relevant over time.

  • Audience Favorites: Repurpose content that got lots of engagement, shares, or comments.

Repurposing in Action: Example Workflow

Let’s say you published a high-performing blog post. Here’s how you could stretch it:

  1. Record a short video summarizing the key points.

  2. Create 3-5 social graphics with stats or quotes from the post.

  3. Expand it into a podcast topic or use it to spark a discussion.

  4. Email your list with the top takeaway and a link to read more.

  5. Update it quarterly to keep it fresh and relevant.
