How can you extend the value of your next piece of content?

I think we need to have a plan for content, post it on all social media 

[phanxuananhiuv]

Repurposing content is a great way to maximize its value! Here are some strategies you might consider:

1. **Create a Blog Post**: If you start with a video or podcast, summarize the key points in a blog post to reach a different audience.

2. **Social Media Snippets**: Break down your content into bite-sized quotes or tips for social media posts. This can include images or short videos.

3. **Infographics**: Visualize data or key concepts from your content into an engaging infographic that can be shared online.

4. **E-books or Guides**: Compile related pieces of content into a comprehensive guide or e-book that provides more in-depth value.

5. **Webinars or Live Q&A**: Use your content as a foundation for a webinar where you can interact with your audience in real-time.

6. **Email Newsletters**: Highlight sections of your content in email newsletters to keep your subscribers engaged and informed.

7. **Slides or Presentations**: Turn your content into a slide deck for use in presentations or as downloadable resources.

8. **Podcasts**: If you have a blog post, consider discussing it in a podcast episode for auditory learners.

9. **Video Clips**: Create short video clips from longer videos to share on platforms like TikTok or Instagram Reels.

10. **Discussion Forums**: Use your content to spark discussions in forums or communities relevant to your niche.

By diversifying how you share your content, you can reach a wider audience and reinforce your messaging across different platforms!

To add value to content, we should plan before posting and post it on multiple social media platforms.

[KKotova]

How  can you extend the value of your next piece of content?

There are few options available. You can use different social platforms or forums to share your content to.

You can post your material in different formats: podcasts, guide, training, webinars etc..

[NRAslam]

Planning out content prior to creation, perhaps by quarter using Miro is a really helpful way to gauge what content can work for what channels. Opening up discussion between channel owners to determine whether there's opportunity to repurpose content is a great way to streamline content production and stay on brand message.

[SLevesque]

How can you extend value to your next piece of content? 

To add value to your next piece of content you can post it to multiple channels. This will reach more people an could drive traffic to your other profiles if you mention them in your post. You could create different types of posts for the same info - example, Post a video on one channel and pics with descriptions on another. You could also do a collaborative post, if youve having a product in your post you could collab with that brand so it will widen your reach on the post. Or collab with an influencer who has a similar audience base as you to extend both of your reach.

OK, I can see that republishing (recycling) is a great opportunity to get the most out of a piece or successful content.

POST TO DIFFERENT FORMATS

From watching the video, the most obvious (depending on the audience) would be to exploit different formats. They could include free eBooks, FAQs, how-to guides, infographics, podcast, video, and slideshows.

LEVERAGE DIFFERENT PLATFORMS

The target audience would help decide which platform(s) are best suited for the recycled content, e.g.

• Social media channels
• Community forums
• Email marketing
• Paid ads
• Other

COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS

A bit of smart networking may also come in useful, depending on the content and format. That might take the shape of joint ventures (creating content with others), guest posts, and Social media takeovers. As with all new ideas, the secret is to experiment with different formats and strategies while always maintaining the content's relevance and value.

DUPLICATE CONTENT PENALTIES?

The only thing I didn't see was the risk of duplication. I don't know if that's still a thing. However, in the past, if the same piece of content was posted in multiple places, it had a negative impact on search engine rankings. Tweaking the content doesn't change the bulk of the text.

I'm going to assume it's not an issue; otherwise, recycling content wouldn't be a part of this course.

I'd still like to hear the opinions of any SEPO experts reading here.

I can amplify the value of my next piece of content by recasting it for a new medium, for instance blog post into a video or infographic or even sharing it on social media. It can also be edited to reflect current trends, posted on other Social media sites, and I can directly correspond to my audience by inviting comments or feedback.

[HHackett]

I can extend the value of my next piece of content by reposting it in a different format on my Instagram spreading awareness and tips about the health of teeth and how to have a better smile, by taking it from just a blog post and turning it into a mini slide deck on Instagram, doing this could increase the traffic brought to my website

[EPullen3]

You can always start with more broad topics. I think its good to reference old posts to keep traffic going through your website! Keeps call to actions simple and can lead to more specific products and products description

"I believe that to maximize the value of any content, it’s essential to transform the core idea into a lasting principle rather than just a one-time message. By distilling the essence of a concept into a principle, it becomes more versatile and can be applied across various formats, making it not only more impactful but also timeless. This approach ensures that the original idea stays relevant, evolves with changing trends, and can be adapted to different platforms, whether through blog posts, videos, podcasts, infographics, or even webinars.

By focusing on principles, I can ensure that the content doesn't just serve a single purpose or moment but continues to provide value over time, allowing for consistent messaging that resonates with audiences in different ways. This method also helps deliver the message in a way that is both memorable and practical, making it more useful and applicable to the audience's needs, no matter how they prefer to engage with the content.

[LilyRJ]

I can repurpose my next piece of content by keeping both versatility and user accessibility in mind. For example, I am a huge fan of Graphic/Media Marketing, so majority of my projects are pictures/flyers/logos/etc. These mediums are already EXTREMELY versatile, meaning they can easily be repurposed by changing a few key details such as the theme, important dates/times, text, etc. Brand kits are IMMENSELY important when considering repurposing content because everything you have ever made for your business is in ONE PLACE; making it more-than-easy to play around with ideas that come to mind.

[Satyapavan]

To extend the value of your next piece of content, consider repurposing it into various formats, such as infographics, videos, or social media posts. You can also create a webinar or podcast episode to engage a different audience. This approach maximizes your content's reach and impact while saving time and effort.

[ONGUTI]

I can split a big document into multiple bites that I can post on other channels.

I can also unite smaller posts with various formats into one guide.

Break down key insights from a blog into shortened social media posts and short clips (Tweets, Instagram posts/reels, YouTube, LinkedIn). Including eye-catching visuals, quotes, or statistics to spark engagement in your audience. Caption the clips to appeal to audiences who prefer content in shorter bursts. If making a podcast, you can transribe the podcast episode into an optimized article making it accessible to readers. Create some controversy encouraging users to engage and share their responses.

How can you extend the value of your next piece of content?

By posting your blog post on multiple platforms, you can repurpose it into different formats depending on the topic. For example, if you write a blog post about travel, you can turn it into an e-book or a travel guide, such as 'Which Countries Are Safe to Travel To?' This can help you reach a broader audience and provide more value.
