4 Tips to Recycle Your Content

1. Create Evergreen Content

Evergreen content is written to be as relevant today as it will be in 6 months or a year. Evergreen website content will give you an opportunity to share ideas or facts about your business to new viewers long after it was first published. Evergreen content extends the life and reach of the message.

2. Email Marketing

Email newsletters are a great way to stay in touch with prospects and customers. An effective email newsletter generously shares industry facts and helpful tips, not a sales pitch. Your newsletter is also a fantastic opportunity to highlight your competitive advantage and reinforces the value of your product or services.

3. Social Media Posts

Americans check their Facebook and other social media accounts a staggering 17 times per day - at least once every waking hour, if not more. The highest usage observed were between the ages of 25 and 54.
Sharing your content across social media channels places it where your target customers are most likely to be, multiple times per day.

4. Video Presentations

Video is not as hard to create as it once was. You probably have a pretty good video camera in your pocket. Use video to retell your written content face-to-face. Slightly tweak your old blog posts and content into fresh new video presentations.
