Learn how to repurpose content, starting today

People consume content in a TON of different ways. Some people love listening to podcasts while doing dishes. Other people prefer scrolling through social media while lounging in bed. Some like to skim email content while taking mini brain breaks at work. 

The thing about content is that it’s all about how you package it. 

There is an art to not reinventing the wheel, my friends. When you write one good, solid, value-filled piece of content… USE. THE. HELL. OUT OF IT!!!

But what if I give all my knowledge and expertise away for free??? No one will buy my products, and I’ll have to get a job at Target. 

Nothing wrong with donning the red uniform, but have no fear. You will still make sales (and likely many MORE sales) by offering high-quality blog content to your audience. 

Never underestimate the power of curation. 

Curated content is extremely valuable

When I go looking for a solution to a problem, my first step is to Google it. I bet it’s the same for you too. The second best thing? Remembering some content creator’s info about the problem I’m trying to solve. 

Oh, wait a sec. I remember so-and-so had those posts about writing killer headlines. Who was that again? *scrolls Instagram* Oh yeah, her! What’s her deal? 

Whoa! She has a $27 offer that looks like it will suit my needs. Let’s try it! That’s basically the cost of a very frugal dinner date night. SOLD. 

Consistently repurposing your blog content puts you top of mind with your audience

How do you become top of mind for your people? 

By getting your content in front of them! Plain and simple. 

But I’m being repetitive. But I’m going to annoy my audience. They’re going to get sick of me. 

NOPE. 

Have you ever, in the same breath, complained about the algorithm? That intangible thing that seemingly has the power to make or break our reach on social media? 

Guess what? The more content you produce, the more likely you are to beat the algorithm. 

A potential client needs to see the same message over and over again before they’re ready to trust you with their email address. Before they’re ready to buy. 

You have to convince them that you know what the hell you’re talking about. Otherwise, you’re just another voice in a sea of millions. 

Your key to standing out is:

1. Determining exactly who your people are
2. Writing messages that speak to their exact problems and offer them concrete solutions
3. Creating enough content that you are TOP OF MIND for them! Meaning they have seen your message multiple times. So when they are finally ready to invest in solving their problem, YOU are the person they think of. 

So how do you get your content out there without being repetitive? 

The key to becoming top of mind = Content repurposing for impact.
