Many of these platforms are like "little" search engines. The more "little" search engines you post to, the more views you can get. You also reduce the amount of work that you need to do because MOST of it is already done by writing a blog post. You also leverage your work, which means you get more done with less effort. There are only 24 hours in a day, so you want to use leverage to your advantage. 📅 7-Day Content Strategy Planner Enter your blog topic to generate your repurposing plan! Main Blog Post Topic: Generate My Weekly Strategy Your Repurposing Schedule: 🖨️ Print My Plan The Truth About the SEO Duplicate Content Penalty You are the owner of the blog post, so Google doesn't penalize you for repurposing your content. You can do it as much as you want. However, if it's the same article published to multiple platforms, Google may only show 1 in the search rankings. This is why it's best to post first to your own blog, and then to other places, such as LinkedIn, Medium, and even a Quora Space. It's also good practice to write in the 2nd and 3rd posts.. This post originally appeared on [yourblog.com]” This builds authority on your domain first. Another advantage is that if you have a new website, you can use the authority of a big name like LinkedIn! This means your LinkedIn article may outrank your newbie site. Also, you can't submit the same article over and over again to the same platform, such as Medium. This means you can't write an article on "walking your dog" and then submit 10 of the same article to Medium. You can write 1 article on walking your dog, then submit the same article to Medium, LinkedIn, Substack, Quora Space, and others! The reason you want to submit the same article to multiple platforms is that they all act as search engines. Meaning if someone types in your keywords in Quora, your article could show up and get traffic. If you did not submit your article to Quora and someone typed in your search term into Quora, they would NOT find your article because it's NOT Google. Oh, and there are around 400 monthly visitors to Quora alone! via GIPHY How to Turn Your Blog Posts into Short-Form Videos One of the best ways to get free, easy traffic is to create short videos. I recommend downloading the app TikTok on your phone and creating a video first on the app. There are 2 reasons to shoot the video in the app. It's much faster, and the editing can be done on the app. There is a conspiracy that videos made in the app do better on TikTok. You can take parts of your blog post and create short 15-20-second videos talking about the MOST important parts of your blog post. For example, I could create a short video explaining the top places to submit a short video. Then simply upload the videos to TikTok. With a business account, you can have 1 link in your profile even with 0 followers. Simply tell your followers at the end of your video to click the link in your profile. Then go to this website HERE. and download your TikTok video without the watermark. Then simply upload it to places such as.. -TikTok (5-7 hashtags). -Instagram (3-5 hashtags). -Youtube Shorts (3-5 hashtags). -Facebook Reels (3-5 hashtags). -LinkedIn (3 – 5 hashtags). -X (1-2 hashtags). -Threads (1-3 hashtags). -Rumble (tags use a comma). -Tumblr (5-10 hashtags). -Substack (1-3 hashtags) -Some Facebook Groups. -Some Reddit Communities.

Turning a Blog Post into a YouTube Video Script To create a Youtube you need an outline. If you don't have an outline, your video will be... Way too long Ramble on stuff that isn't important. Why not use your blog post as an outline? Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! Another idea is to use AI to create the outline; they both work! You're probably going to have to make a video outline; might as well make it a blog post to get traffic from the search engines! You can take the most important parts of your blog post to create a video. Another idea is if you have a big blog post, break it up into 2 or 3 videos. What I do is read the post a few times, then make a video, and sometimes I look down to see if I forgot what I was going to say. If you didn't want to show your face, you could use a screencast software and then just talk over it and post it. You could even submit your YouTube video to your own blog to improve your SEO, because the longer people stay on your post, the better it is!

Plus, it's insanely cheap for what it comes with! Then simply paste a few of your articles into it, and you have a valuable eBook with perceived value.

The main reasons you want these content clusters are....

How to Turn Your Blog Post into a Presentation for Slideshare You can use Canva to create graphics from the main parts of your blog into a slide deck. A slide deck is like a PowerPoint presentation. Then submit it to Slideshare, which is sort of like YouTube, but with presentations. Slideshare still gets around 35 monthly visitors. Not as good as YouTube or TikTok, but still not bad! Even better, go to Notebooklm and submit your blog post URL. Before you have it create a slide deck, you have to tell the AI to create 2 call-to-action slides in the slide deck. Here is the prompt I use.For the slidedeck can you make a page in the middle and the end page with a call to action to motivate someone to get free tools to click a very large link, with the words click the link HERE for free tools, and the complete blog post, both in the middle page of the slide deck and at the end page of the slide deck. Can you make it into a pdf? Then have it create the slikdeck. Before you submit them to platforms, you have to put the link inside. I use this FREE tool HERE to do that. Now I have AI create the Title, Descriptions, and Tags, and I give it the following prompt. Create for me a Slideshare title, description, and 20 tags. Separate each tag with a comma for the topic “URL of blog post HERE”, also include the url of the blog post in the description. Now you can post the slide deck to places like.. SlideShare Scribd Speaker Deck SlideServe Repurposing Blog Content for Quora and Reddit Traffic An often overlooked idea is to use your blog post for question-and-answer sites. With Quora, you would go to the search bar and type in the title of your blog post. Then a whole bunch of questions are going to show up. Then simply answer some of the questions, using your blog post for inspiration. Quora can be tricky with the links. I got in trouble with Quora because I think I was using the same domain for a link, and my account got flagged. What I recommend is mixing up the links and possibly not putting a link in your answers. Sometimes say check out my profile for more. The links could go to your blog, YouTube video, or LinkedIn article - I think it's better to mix them up so your account doesn't get flagged as mine did. Also, make sure your answers are really good too. Don't just make it one sentence and then post a link back to your website. Reddit is a whole other beast. I recommend creating a Reddit community around your niche and then posting parts of your blog post to your subreddit. Then, with each post, crosspost to a similar community. That post can send people back to your subreddit to grow. When you have your own subreddit, you can put links on the side, put links in pinned posts, and even as the "automod" when someone makes a comment. With your own subreddit, you can make your own rules! Most Reddit communities I've found have strict rules with links! Conclusion Now that I've completely blown up your head with what you can do with a blog post, remember you can pick and choose! You don't have to do every step in this post. I'm sure there are even MORE ways to re-use a blog post for 1 week or 2 weeks of content. Hopefully, this post gave you inspiration on what is possible! If you don't want to make ebooks or videos, you can cut that part out. I recommend starting small and slowly adding in a few more steps to leverage your work.
