Why Repurpose Your Content šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Having a content marketing strategy is essential for businesses today, but consistently creating high-quality, engaging content can be a significant challenge. The following ā€œatomizationā€ framework will guide you in exponentially amplifying your existing content to maximize its impact and value.

We cannot always create new content every single day. Right?!

For Example:

Take a comprehensive research report. Instead of just posting the report link on socials or adding it to your website, brainstorm all the possible ways to divide it into smaller content formats. The key is matching formats to social channels and audiences. For example, determine how an infographic looks on Instagram as a post versus a Reel. How does this live in your email? How does this live on a podcast? And so on, you guys get it! šŸ˜

Some Repurposing Ideas Include šŸ”Ž

  • Social media graphics with key stats

  • Short video summaries

  • Blog post series based on main sections

  • Infographics around major findings

  • Email newsletter nuggets

  • Presentation decks

  • Podcast interview snippets

  • Quotes for sharing

  • Systematize Your Content Amplification

Center Your Efforts On Four Key ElementsšŸ”‘

Content Pillars: Connect content to overarching topics and themes your brand focuses on. This allows you to identify areas where a piece may have additional applications.

Audience Stages: Map content to target audience mindsets across your sales funnel. For example, how could a report be formatted differently for prospects who are new to your company versus longtime customers? Different groups will have unique needs.

Angles: Determine the core narratives or angles you want to highlight and feature. For a report, these could be major conclusions, actionable recommendations, surprising revelations, etc. Covering multiple angles allows you to generate moreĀ great variants of the content.

Formats: Finally, consider what formats will work best based on social platforms, use cases, and audience preferences. Would your content resonate more as a LinkedIn article, Instagram carousel, or email newsletter? Align formats to your audienceā€™s consumption habits if at all possible.

Hereā€™s an example: Say your cornerstone content is a report. First, start with your core content pillars. If the report applies to 2 pillars, that's a great starting point. Next, look at tailoring parts of the report to two potential audiences or buyer journey stages per pillar, such as prospects versus existing customers.

If you have 5 key report takeaways and 2 target audiences, you have 10 angles. Cover each angle for each audience in 2 formats, like a historical comparison and a demonstrative example, and you have 20 ways to repackage the content. Well, roughly anyways donā€™t hold me to that ā€œmathā€ šŸ˜‰

Extend Content Amplification šŸ’ŖšŸ»

Many signals indicate a chance to amplify pre-existing content.

An important one is aligning with the seasonality of your business and sales cycles. We all have FEELS for seasonal things, itā€™s in our DNA. If prospect engagement spikes at certain times of the year, have relevant lead gen and top-of-funnel content ready to exchange for contact information; free giveaways, or on-site handouts/checklistsā€”the types of ā€œfree before you buyā€ content that get attention. Everyone loves a good old Free before you buy šŸ˜Ā 

Timeliness also matters. An annual report, for example, will have the greatest relevance for two quartersā€”Q4 when it is released and Q1 of the following year. But reports often maintain value for 1ā€“2 years as an interesting benchmark of progress. The content you published two years back could resurface as a ā€œthen versus nowā€ comparison spotlighting your contentā€™s evolution path.

Alternatively: If a hot topic is gaining traction and you have relevant content, pull that asset forward for amplificationā€”your target audience analytics provide the best signals for what to amplify.

The goal is to identify successful evergreen and seasonal pieces that merit replay after publication. This will prevent you from reinventing the wheel each quarter or from losing traction from past efforts.

I hope this all helps you create a LIL bit less, or more effectively in the future šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø
