Why Twitter Should Be A Focus For Your Repurposed Content
- Studies show that you’ll get the most use out of Twitter if you tweet up to 30x a day, while small business owners do better around 5 tweets/day. (Kevan Lee)
- A tweet usually has a “life” of 18 minutes. That’s why you want to tweet often: the more you tweet, the more you will see engagement. (Kevan Lee)
- Link to your blogs and content, often: 50% of all re-tweeted tweets contain links. (Leo Widrich)
- Re-sharing your content is vital on Twitter: you can get just as many if not more re-tweets on your second, third and fourth posts of the same blog. (Belle Beth Cooper)
- Use different headlines as you tweet. Your unique second headline can get double the amount of clicks. (Leo Widrich)
- Going viral is more possible on Twitter than Facebook because of the immediate traction tweets get. Facebook posts have a shelf life of 5 hours. (Leo Widrich)
6 EASY Ways to Repurpose Content

- Turn Old Blog Posts Into Guides. Old blog posts provide a lot of excellent content to be repurposed. Assemble the multiple blogs you’ve written on a topic and turn them into an easy-to-access guide with multiple aspects. (Megan Marrs)
- Use Your Evergreen Content. One of the best types of content to repurpose is evergreen content. This gives you more topics to work with, and helps you create something that will still be worthwhile in the future. (Kevan Lee)
- Create Infographics from Written Content. Do you have a favorite blog that you want more people to read? Consider chopping it down into short points and putting them in infographic form. (Arnie Kuenn)
- Host a Podcast Based Off of a Blog Post. Podcasts are a hot commodity right now, and your written content provides some great resources for one (or several). Look at your popular posts and then host a podcast talking more in-depth on them. (Megan Marrs)
- Turn Your Content into Powerful Videos. Your existing written content can be used as visual in multiple ways, including video. Brand videos made from content you already have can reach more people and bring in new customers. (Salma Jafri)
