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.

- 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

- Long-form blog posts (2000+ words)
