Constantly churning out content every week isn’t as easy as it seems. With attention spans shorter than ever thanks to the ever-evolving restrictions of social media, it can seem impossible to create enough content to stay ahead of the curve. This is when marketers must repurpose content.

Repurposing content is one of the best skills you can add to your strategy. Not only does it give old content a new lease of life, it also helps you to reach new audiences, maximises your time and effort, improves your SEO efforts and more.

In this article, Propeller explores exactly why you should be repurposing your content.

Why You Should Repurpose Your Content

Increase Visibility

Repurposing content allows you to reach a wider audience as you push your message out in different formats across various platforms. By adapting your content to suit different media types, you can engage with new audiences who may prefer video, audio, infographics, or text. This expanded reach leads to increased visibility for your brand, driving more traffic and attracting potential customers.

Boost SEO

Repurposing content can also boost your SEO efforts. When you repurpose content, you create multiple entry points for search engines to discover and index your material.

By using different keywords, headlines, and meta descriptions, you enhance your chances of ranking higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). Which, in turn, drives more organic traffic to your website.

Stop Wasting Time

Rather than creating new content from scratch, you can repurpose existing material, saving a lot of time and effort. You can achieve this by adapting the core message of your content rather than starting from square one. This efficiency allows you to consistently produce quality content while freeing up time for other essential tasks.

Improve Organic Traffic

With so much content available online, it can be difficult to get the traction that you’re looking for. Traffic will always have its peaks and troughs. This is where repurposing content comes in.

Repurposing various pieces of content will improve your organic search results. Additionally, it improves your chances of appearing on search results for specific search terms. 

Maximise Engagement 

Building a relationship with your customer is key, whatever your marketing strategy. Repurposing your content enables you to engage with your audience on a range of platforms, and opens up accessibility.

Different people consume content in different ways and by repurposing, you cater to their preferences. For example, visual learners may prefer infographics or videos, while others may enjoy reading blog posts or listening to podcasts.

By providing content in various formats, you encourage more interaction and engagement, creating a deeper connection with your audience.

5 Ways to Repurpose Content

Here are some of our top techniques for repurposing content:

Make it accessible for the different types of learning

With all of the different learning styles that people can have, it’s important to make sure that your content reaches all of your audience, with consideration to where they view content.

E-books & How to guides

Turn a successful series of related articles into comprehensive eBooks or guides. Arrange the content in a logical flow, add some additional insights, and create visually appealing designs to enhance the reading experience. 

This repurposed content can serve as a valuable lead magnet, helping you generate leads and establish your expertise in a particular subject area. Two birds with one stone!

User generated content

Your customers will also provide you with content that you can repurpose.  You can use any of the feedback that you receive from any of your customers to your advantage. 

Post a product review on your instagram, turn one of their quotes into a tweet, add one of their experiences into your next email – if you received it from your customer, you can turn it into whatever you want!

If you’re not familiar with user generated content, we have a blog here that tells you all about what it is and how you can employ it within your marketing strategy.

Convert data into infographics

If you have research reports, surveys, or data-rich content, transform the information into visually appealing infographics. In a world where attention spans are short, creating easy-to-understand infographics can be more appealing to customers.

Infographics are highly engaging and can be shared on social media, embedded in blog posts, or included in email newsletters, allowing you to present complex information in a visually appealing manner.

Video Content

If you’ve delivered webinars, presentations, or conference speeches, consider repurposing them into on-demand videos. Edit the recordings to highlight key moments and upload them to platforms like YouTube or your website. These repurposed videos allow you to extend the life of your live presentations and reach a wider audience beyond the original event.

In Summary…

If you aren’t already repurposing content, it’s time to get started. Not only will this save time and money, but it also offers a great way to reach a wider audience with the content you are producing.
