Why Repurposing Your Podcast Content Matters
As a health and wellness coach with a podcast, you're already creating amazing content. But did you know you can stretch that content further without reinventing the wheel? It’s time to discover the benefits of repurposing your podcast episodes for other platforms.
1. Maximize Your Efforts
You’ve poured your heart into your podcast episodes. Why stop there? When you transform them into blog posts, social media content, or even videos, you're getting more mileage out of work you’ve already done. Personally, I love using Descript to create audiograms from my podcast episodes for social media.
2. Reach a Wider Audience
Not everyone consumes content the same way. Some people love listening to podcasts during their morning run, while others prefer reading a quick blog post with their morning coffee. When repurposing your content, you’re meeting your ideal client where they are, in the format they prefer.
3. Boost Your Visibility
Hello, SEO! Turning your podcast into written content helps improve your search engine rankings. The more quality content you have, the more opportunities people have to find you when searching for the solutions you provide. I didn’t realize how powerful SEO and keyword research were until I dove into it myself.
Does Repurposing Content Help with Lead Generation?
Let’s be real: we’re in business to make money. Sure, you want to make an impact, but to stay in business, you need lead generation and sales. So, how does repurposing your podcast content supercharge your lead generation?
- SEO Benefits: Optimizing your written content helps your website rank higher in search results, driving organic traffic. And I’m guessing you’re not looking to run ads all the time, so organic traffic is key.
- Social Media Engagement: Sharing quotes or highlights from your episodes on social media can attract new followers and potential clients.
- Email Marketing: Don’t forget to let your email list know when a new podcast episode drops. Including a recap in your newsletter keeps subscribers engaged.
- Lead Magnets: To encourage people to join your list, you can create freebies like checklists or guides based on your podcast topics. Remember: having one primary lead magnet is best to avoid spreading yourself too thin.
Simplifying the Content Creation Process
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Michele, this sounds like a lot of extra work.” But here’s the secret: having a content creation process actually saves you time and energy in the long run. The more organized you are, the less scattered you’ll feel. And the more you'll believe your dream is worth the effort—because we both know it is.
Let’s break down the process:
Step 1: Identify Who You Help
This one’s not a shocker. Before repurposing, get crystal clear on who you're speaking to and the problem you solve. Do they hang out on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or Pinterest? Knowing where they are helps you tailor your content for those platforms.
Step 2. Choose Relevant Topics
Your podcast topics should resonate with your audience and focus on the problems they’re actively looking to solve. Zoning in on your passion areas makes your content more authentic and impactful.
Step 3: Gather and Organize Your Content
Use your podcast transcripts as a starting point. Highlight key points, quotes, and insights that can stand alone as blog posts or social media updates. It's like mining for gold in the content you already created!
Step 4: Create Outlines
Outlines aren't just for new content—they're super helpful when repurposing, too. They help you organize your thoughts and ensure your repurposed content flows well and hits all the important points.
Step 5: Reword, Rewrite, and Refine
Transform your spoken words into written ones. Edit for clarity, add any additional insights, and tweak the language to suit the platform. Trust me, I’m wordy, so a lot gets cut when I write a blog post. Be clear and concise, whether for a blog, Instagram, or email.
Step 6: Edit and Revise
Take the time to review and polish your content. And hey, I'm not throwing stones here—typos happen to the best of us, even after multiple reviews! The goal is to make your content as clear and error-free as possible.
Step 7: Publish and Promote
Share your repurposed content on your blog, social media, and email it to your subscribers. And here’s the resourceful part—don’t be afraid to reuse and republish content later down the road. You can tweak it slightly change the images, and your audience won’t even notice that they’ve seen it before. We need to hear things so many times before they sink in, probably because, generally, we are doing two things at once.
