How to Repurpose Content to Save Time and Get the Most Out of Your Photos and Videos
Creating high quality photos and videos takes time, effort, and resources. Instead of letting that content sit unused after one post, repurposing allows you to save time, maximize your investment, and maintain a consistent presence across platforms. Repurposing simply means adapting one piece of content into new formats so it reaches a wider audience and has a longer lifespan.
How to Repurpose Effectively
Start by organizing your content in an accessible folder, categorized by themes or campaigns. Easy access makes it simple to find and reuse material.
Photos can be cropped or resized for different platforms. A wide shot can be transformed into a square Instagram post, a vertical Reel, or a landscape LinkedIn update.
Videos can be edited into bite sized clips. A three minute interview can be broken into short highlights that are easier to watch and share. Visuals can also become infographics, graphics, GIFs, or backgrounds for blog posts and newsletters.
Repurposing also includes tailoring captions, headlines, and calls to action for each platform. The same photo might tell a story on Instagram and highlight expertise on LinkedIn.
Keep It Fresh and Measurable
Repurpose content over time. A post from six months ago can feel new again with a fresh caption, tie in to a holiday, or connection to a current trend. This keeps your feed active without the stress of creating from scratch.
Finally, track the performance of your repurposed content. Insights will reveal which platforms and formats resonate most so you can refine your strategy.
