What Is Content Repurposing?
Content repurposing is the practice of taking existing content — a blog post, webinar, or research report — and transforming it into different formats to reach new audiences and extract additional SEO and marketing value.
Common Repurposing Formats
- Blog post → YouTube video or podcast episode
- Research report → infographic or data visualisation
- Webinar → blog post series and short video clips
- Guide → email course or slide deck
- FAQ section → structured FAQ schema page
