content, perspective, and grammar that has to be taken care of. That writing

and proo ng can be avoided if you use repurposed content.

For example, you can reproduce old content into infographics by taking pointers

from an already written article or create a podcast out of content by just making

it sound more conversational if it isn’t already.

There’s a ton of ways you can do this. You could break one piece of content into

2 or 3 pieces and present them as a series. Share them through social media so

you get exposure three times more by reusing an old piece of content.

Moreover, optimizing your website with search engines can be costly. There are

certain keywords that you aim to target through your website. With new content,

you tend to get more diverse in the subject matter because you simply cannot

continue writing similar content.

Besides, there are not endless ways in which you can present the same content.

You may have to digress a little. This also moves you further away from the

basic keywords you are targeting, requiring an SEO boost. An SEO boosting

campaign can be expensive too. If you use old content, you won’t have to do

that and you’ll save more money.

Content marketing is the foundation for all

your online marketing strategies.

However, building an editorial calendar

and actually following it with so many

other core issues to deal with becomes

very dif cult over time.

There just isn’t enough time to constantly produce new content yourself or even

to get it written by a third party. At the same time, nobody can deny the

importance of content marketing in increasing sales. So, how do you tackle the

problem? You repurpose existing content!

Before you begin repurposing existing content, there is one thing you need to be

careful of. Not all content is meant to be re-used. Only choose pieces such as

blog posts or infographics that have done well in the past. That way you can

ensure the success of your repurposed content. Here are 5 innovative ways you

can repurpose content for renewed traf c:

1. Tweak the contentTweak the content – You might have written your content for a speci c

audience. However, your product or services are useful to a number of

other people as well. Just tweak your existing content so it becomes

relevant to another audience. Most likely, you’ll have overlapping audiences.

Take advantage of that. That’s how you, without changing the gist of your

article, can make little adjustments and repurpose your content.

2. Divide and conquerDivide and conquer – Make a series out of a single piece of content. Or, if

one of your articles contains a few infographics, create one infographic out

of it and just use that. You can do that with all types of content in any

medium.

3. Think bigThink big – You might think you don’t need ebooks or guides/manuals, but

with so much content at hand, there’s not much that you have to do. Just

assemble whatever pre-existent content you have professionally and make

it into an ebook.An added bene t of having a downloadable ebook on your

website is that you can snag email addresses for effective email marketing,

killing two birds with one stone.

4. Recycle into social media marketing contentRecycle into social media marketing content – From a single 500

word blog post, you can easily take out at least 5-10 tweets or Facebook

posts. Or you can convert the post into short series to be published on

LinkedIn. The options are endless.

5. Change the mediumChange the medium – One interesting way to repurpose an already

written piece of content is to change the way it is delivered. If it’s a blog

post, you can present it as an image, an infographic or even a video. This

way you can also cover a number of different platforms.

While these strategies are really effective, you might think you don’t have the

time for these. That is where a content marketing company will help you.

Getting content written from scratch can be expensive for quite a few

companies. However, if you repurpose content, not only does it cost less, it also

helps you reach out to potential customers on a number of different platforms.

Each medium has a different audience and gives you a wider reach to a larger

variety of people.
