What does it mean to repurpose your content?
Repurposing your content refers to
- Reusing it by remodelling it into a new format
- Transforming it for use across different platforms, including Linkedin, such that they adapt to the nature of these platforms
Content repurposing goes beyond distributing content across different platforms. The content must adapt to the platforms where you distribute them. Example: to repurpose your 3,000-word blog post for YouTube, you must make it into a video since YouTube is a video platform.
Repurpose content: REfresh content for a new PURPOSE.
Why should you repurpose content?
You save time, get more traffic, and improve your search engine rankings when repurposing content for social media and other platforms.
When repurposing content, you might need extra help managing and scheduling what you will publish. Check out our list of Scheduling Tools for LinkedIn.
Content repurposing is a huge time saver
You’re not creating content from scratch. Instead, you’re remixing your existing content to create something new. This drastically reduces the time it takes you to produce new content.
You reach a wider audience
Imagine all the traffic you miss out on if your masterpiece article is only available on your blog.
Some of your audience prefer videos to text. Making a YouTube video from your article means you can now reach those people. Consider using tools to turn LinkedIn posts into videos and repost them.
Repurposing your content also makes it visible to those who may have missed it the last time you posted it.
When repurposing your article for ten new platforms, you automatically tap into the traffic from these new sources.
Improved rankings on search engines
Google crawls the big social media platforms with high frequency and priority. Repurposing your blog post as a LinkedIn post with a backlink to your original article means your article can get indexed faster.

5 tips for repurposing content on Linkedin
Remember these five tips when repurposing content for LinkedIn:
- Use relevant hashtags: Hashtags help users understand what your LinkedIn post is about. They also help more users find your content when they search for the hashtag or follow it.
Use up to three relevant hashtags at the end of your post. Test different hashtags to see what brings the best views and engagement.
- Use LinkedIn articles for long-form content: You can expand on a few sections of your blog post as a LinkedIn article and send backlinks to the original blog posts.
Unlike normal LinkedIn posts, with LinkedIn articles, you can control your formatting and anchor texts for better SEO.
- Make your first 200 characters count: When you post on LinkedIn, only the first 200 characters are visible. The rest will only be visible when you click …see more just below the text.
Make your first 200 characters captivating enough for users to read the rest of your post. Otherwise, they’ll scroll away to something else.
- Feature your best content at the top of your profile: Just like Twitter, you can pin your most popular or recent posts to your LinkedIn profile using the Feature on top of profile option on your posts.
- Answer questions in the comments: For example, someone asks for tips on acing a web3 developer interview and you’ve made a podcast on that topic. Summarize the main points as an answer to the question on LinkedIn and refer the user to the podcast for more information.
Start repurposing your content today
Don’t allow your published content to stay dormant in one format or one channel only. Spin it till you can no longer squeeze every creative juice out of it. You worked hard to create that content, so don’t let it go to waste.
Content repurposing isn’t just all about breaking down long content into short content or combining short content into long content. Sometimes, it’s about making your long content bigger and better.
Instead of always investing in creating new content from scratch, figure out how to breathe new life into your existing content. Work smarter, not harder.
