The art of repurposed content

We don’t talk about enough about repurposing high-performing social content. It’s an efficient way to fill out a social calendar and gives us a ton of valuable data.
You want to repurpose posts for a few reasons. First, you know it works, right? There’s a message or element in there that your audience likes. And more of that is a good thing! The second, and equally important thing, is that repurposing will save you time. Like, a lot of time. And when you’re in charge of creating a content calendar, take your easy wins.
When we say “repurposing” content, we don’t mean straight-up reposting the exact same content over and over again. That gets stale and boring. Audiences typically don’t like stale and boring. While that repost is okay every now and then, think about all of the ways you can rework that original high-performing post. Here’s a quick checklist we cobbled together to help with this:

What kind of post is the OG?
What kind of post could it be turned into? (Video, photo/stills, graphics, pull quote, text-only)
What part of the post do you think resonated most with your audience?

And, boom, your one piece of content just turned into four or five. Your job just got easier, and you created several weeks’ worth of high-quality content.

Are brand accounts dead?

Does your audience care about your brand account? Someone sent us this recently and it brings up something really important. And we actually kinda agree, but we have a slightly different take: posting like a brand account is dead. Compare brand accounts to creator accounts (or founder accounts, like the Reel references). Brand accounts are usually (but not always): Stuffy Rigid Sales-oriented Not fun Not entertaining Bleh Creator accounts are usually (but not always): Interesting Personal...
