Add Fresh Nuggets to Revitalize Old Content

When repurposing old content, it's important that it doesn't feel stale or like it's actually being retooled. Ensuring that every "new/repurposed" piece has a new 'nugget' of information that connects viewers to the present is crucial. Utilizing your old content can help boost your library of media, but if there's no new information or a current connection to social events or a new point of view, it can fall flat with current or familiar fans. Sometimes recording wrapping scenes at the top and tail of your content can help it feel more fresh.

Implement the Core Content Hub Model

The Core Content Hub Model was one effective strategy for repurposing content across multiple channels. This strategy allowed us to utilize a single piece of original content and replicate it in various formats across different distribution channels.

Let's look at the steps we used to implement this strategy:

1. We started by creating a comprehensive piece of content in the form of a detailed blog post titled "10 Effective Tips for Social Media Marketing".

2. Next, we broke down the post into multiple segments to create an informative blog post with visual content.

3. After that, we converted our content into various formats, such as infographics, social media posts, and video clips. We summarized the 10 tips with stunning infographics and shared them across social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.

4. Finally, we shared all the content pieces on multiple distribution channels, followed by cross-promotion, monitoring, and optimization.

As a result, our reach increased significantly.

Adapt Long-Form Content for Multiple Platforms

One effective strategy I use to repurpose content across multiple channels is to break down a long-form piece—like a blog post—into smaller, platform-specific formats. For example, I take key insights or quotes from the blog and turn them into short social media posts, create engaging visuals or infographics for Instagram and LinkedIn, and develop bite-sized video clips for stories or reels. I also adapt the tone and format to fit each platform's audience, which helps maximize reach without creating entirely new content from scratch. For newsletters, I summarize the main points with a clear call-to-action to read the full blog. This approach saves time, keeps the messaging consistent, and allows me to engage different segments of my audience in ways that resonate best with them.

Build a Healthy Content Ecosystem

One of the most effective strategies I use to repurpose content is building a healthy content ecosystem instead of one-off posts.

I'll start with a big idea, like how internal podcasting can impact retention or leadership visibility, and turn that into a carousel post for LinkedIn. From there, I'll:

1. Expand that post into a long-form reflection with story-driven context.

2. Pull key quotes or statistics into visual assets or quote tiles. Use real client examples in follow-up posts or DMs.

3. Rework the themes into email sequences to nurture cold leads into warm conversations.

4. Finally, I'll reflect on everything I've written in a newsletter, thought leadership roundup, or for a LinkedIn Business page pillar post.

This way, I make the most of every idea, and each piece of content connects and compounds. So if someone finds me through LinkedIn, an internal podcasting guide, or a cold email, they're entering the same narrative.

My advice: Repurpose by expanding context and shifting formats, not just copying and pasting across platforms.
