16 Great Ways to Re-purpose Content

Every time you write a piece of content you’re creating something new, something with the potential to use over and over again.

I recently told a client I was lazy. He gave me a crooked look and said; “Way to sell yourself, Amy?”

…I’m lazy because; I like to have simple systems and processes in place so I can get stuff done, quickly and effectively, leaving room in my day to do what I enjoy. There’s no sense in constantly reinventing the wheel. I want to do something once then re-use, re-purpose and recycle it (without being repetitive).

This is what I do for my clients through; workshops, content sharing, public speaking and working 1:1 to help them be more productive in their businesses.

When I create a new piece of content, I look for ways I can use that knowledge in different ways – wheels aren’t just for wagons, after all.

Here are 16 ways to make the most out of that piece of content.

It’s not just a blog post, it can also be…

1. Workshop handouts
2. The basis of a face to face workshop
3. A flow chart
4. Built into an online course
5. Visually represented as an infographic
6. Recorded as a podcast
7. Presented in video form
8. Turned into a cartoon
9. A printable
10. Made into a quiz
11. Gamified
12. Revisited and referenced into an updated post
13. Used as a checklist
14. Presentation slides to deliver as a talk
15. Expanded on to form the basis of an eBook
16. Compiled, along with other posts, into an eBook. I’ve done this with ‘Authorpreneur Almanac’.

I took 52 of my best blog posts and added some new content to create a once a week digest of tips and inspiration. Get the eBook HERE
