What is Content Repurposing?

Content repurposing is the practice of taking existing content and adapting it for different formats, platforms, or audiences. It's not about copying—it's about maximizing the value of your best content.

Why Repurpose Content?

The Numbers Speak:

  • Creating content takes 3-5x longer than repurposing

    • Audiences need 7+ touchpoints before converting

      • Different platforms require different formats

        • Not everyone sees every piece of content

          The Content Multiplication Framework

          Start with Pillar Content

          Create comprehensive "pillar" content that can be broken down:

          • Long-form blog posts (2000+ words)

            • Webinars or live videos

              • Podcast episodes

                • Research reports

                  The Repurposing Tree

                  From one blog post, create:

                  1. 5-10 social media posts

                  2. 1 infographic

                  3. 1 video summary

                  4. 1 podcast episode

                  5. 1 email newsletter

                  6. Multiple quote graphics

                  7. A Twitter/X thread

                  8. LinkedIn carousel

                  9. TikTok/Reels clips

                  10. Pinterest pins

                  Platform-Specific Adaptations
