Repurpose Content from Existing Assets So, how do you repurpose content from existing assets effectively? First, consider your most engaging content to date. Whether it’s a social media post, video, case study, or blog post, one of the best things you can do is find ways to spin popular topics into something new. It could be video clips taken from a longer video and optimized for TikTok or YouTube Shorts (and there are even tools that will help you do this). Or perhaps there is a folder you keep containing customer questions that can be used to build a new FAQ page on your website. You may be able to take advantage of blog posts to create new social media posts, too. Look at the best performing long-form content and jot down all the topics you can spin off of it. You will be surprised how quickly you can come up with several new content ideas! Another way to repurpose old content is to create completely new assets from the existing content. This may be more work, but it addresses old topics in a fresh format. For example, if your blog or newsletter articles contain relevant themes, you may be able to create an ebook full of your best content. Ebooks can be set up to capture leads from your website. Another idea is to take testimonials and work with your client to create a case study or make videos of clients reviewing your product or service. Want to make your own videos? If you want to get in front of the camera but are paralyzed by not knowing what to say, look at your most popular blog and social media posts and start filming yourself talking about the most engaging topics. Practicing will help you become more comfortable with filming videos. Remember that you can edit long videos into the short form videos that so many people love to watch. Next Steps for Repurposing Marketing Content Take a good long look at the content your audience has loved and the marketing gems you have created. You may find several ways to shortcut the process to new content and create new stuff that performs even better than the original. What are you waiting for? Dig into your old marketing content to brainstorm new posts and videos and develop new forms of content that will enhance your reach and solidify your expertise.
