What It Is
Defining and researching
content repurposing gives me the understanding of how business process
management works. I always had a vague idea about it, but didn't know
the technical term for it. To begin this definition, let's talk about
marketing. Suppose you have a product or idea, you definitely want to
market it globally. You know you have to get your information out there
in order for consumers to be aware of your product.
Now, we should
all know a little about the basics of enterprise information strategy;
you have to keep your content fresh and up-to-date to keep viewers and
prospective buyers interested. This is where content repurposing comes
in. You promote your existing content in various media forms to attract a
variety of viewers. Rather than run yourself ragged blogging over and
over, or tweeting every hour, re-vamp what you have. You don't
necessarily have to create new content; just broadcast what you have to a
wider audience!
How it Benefits Businesses
Good for SEO
Search
engine optimization and content marketing strategy can be collaborated.
Repurposing content is automatic because more SEO assets attract search
traffic on a variety of themes.
Reach Customers Using Various Media Forms
Multi-channel
marketing is the second link of content strategy. It aims at providing
the content and kinds of media that viewers want to see in the places
they want to see it.
Increase Retention and Perspective
Variety
is the spice of life and keeping your content flow varied over time
increases retention and impact while also creating the opportunity for
you to 'voice' your content from different perspectives.
Effective Ways to Repurpose Content
Now that you have grasped the idea of content repurposing, the next thing you need to know is how to make it work. Below are some guidance to get you started.
Create
blogs and articles from PowerPoint Presentations - PowerPoint
Presentations converted to audio, or written media is a strategy used by
many businesses. Think of all the material you can create by turning
visual media into written media. The idea doesn't have to be limited to
just blogs; it can extend to articles, video and graphical diagrams.
Aggregate
email interviews - (responses you gave in blog post/article). If you
have employees who give frequent interviews because of suggestions in
media relations, or because they have a respected presence in the
industry, the responses they give in the interviews can be aggregated
into blog and/or articles. Don't publish your content before the blogger
interviewing you has posted their piece. They may remove your comment
entirely feeling you copied their story.
Change long articles into
blogs - take those long articles and convert them to a series of blog
posts. Give them a 'make-over' by adding unique content and summaries.
Extend brief explanations by expanding on them - be voluble -take main
points and expound on them.
Repurpose press releases - change
these formal news pieces into conversational articles. Use a casual
approach in the post and write as a blog post. Add links to supporting
articles and outside information within the blog, or in the conclusion
as foot notes. You can also place it at the end as recommended reading.
