Writing daily on SEO and social media can be trying and there come a time when you’re not feeling so creative. I have often wondered what I can do with that fabulous content I have written for a site, or even take someone’s idea and expand further on the topic at hand. Sure, the last thing I want to do is get kicked of the SERP train for duplicate content, but there are ways you can take what you have created and turn it into something else. Here are insights that can help you be productive on a day when your brain is not.
- Slide Share: Have a really cool article on 7 Steps to Turn Your Site into a Link Magnet, well then go ahead and turn it into a PowerPoint Presentation and post it on Slide Share. Slide Share is a great site where you can post and find presentations. This site also lets you add audio, so if you feel that one your topic would be best expressed with sound, then go ahead and turn it into and audio presentation.
- E-Book: Have you written a really cool post for article syndication? Well, take that idea, expand on it, and create a PDF e-book. You can then post it on your site so visitors will have something they can use. If you add a form and get your visitors e-mail addresses, before they download, you can let them know next time you have a great product or e-book. This will also be a good start for you to start collecting data for your SEO efforts.
- Podcasting: Podcasting is yet another medium one can use if trying to repurpose content. Any article or blog that you deem relevant can be turned into a podcast and then post it on i-tunes. The fact that you will have a voice for the topic at hand means that you can turn it into not only educational, but also it can be entertaining and amusing.
- Video: Finally, one other place you can take your content and turn it into another medium is video. Sites like YouTube, Vimeo, or UStream are all place where you can turn your post into another medium that you can post elsewhere.
So, if you’re passionate about a post you’ve created then turn it into other forms. You can then post them on different sites, so more people can share the wealth of knowledge you have.
