How to Reuse Content in Your Business
Show Notes:
Single use content is labor intensive.
Blog --> YT video, marketing material on various sites, podcast talking points.
Podcast episode --> YT video, social media, newsletter, public newsletter.
Think about the purpose of the work you do. Harmonious message. Expert in field.
Different video lengths serve different scenarios for your audience.
Takes more than one time before they click on your content and engage with you.
Look at HOW to use it, and where.
