Coming up with fresh, valuable content on a frequency can be a challenge. And the content we do produce \u2013 such as blog posts, e-newsletters and social media updates \u2014 is usually only utilized once, and for a short time. This is a waste of good information.<\/p>\n

But you can make the most of that valuable content you worked so hard to create. You can do this when you repurpose your content.<\/p>\n

What Does “Repurpose Your Content” Mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you repurpose your content, you take the main idea of the content you have already created, change it slightly, and produce a new work.<\/p>\n

It is sometimes referred to as recycling your content, because you are changing it around, breathing new life into it, adding more details or targeting a different audience. Just as the phrase indicates, your repurposed content has a new \u201cpurpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Should You Repurpose Your Content?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One piece of content can\u2019t possibly reach all people when it\u2019s produced one way for one target audience. Repurposing your content allows you to fully utilize your work, produce more with less research, and make your content generating efforts more productive.<\/p>\n

By changing the size, format and medium, you\u2019ll be able to reach a new and different audience. The more mediums you are able to utilize, the more value you will be able to create.<\/p>\n
