The Very Best of Video Repurposing

We say it a lot but video is the best type of content to repurpose.

We often ask our podcast guests what their favorite type of content is or where they see the future of content, and the answer is almost always ‘video’.

Video has been a huge part of our content strategy this year. We started creating, sharing, and repurposing videos on YouTube, our website, and social media channels. It’s been a fantastic new way to engage with our audience. If you’ve liked, commented, or shared any of our video content this year, then we want to say a big thank you!

It’s also been a hot topic on the podcast. we've shared lots of tips and advice for creating and repurposing video content, covering the hows, the whats, and the whys. We've also interviewed great guests who are just as passionate about creating and repurposing video content as we are.

So in this ‘best of’ episode, we revisit some of our favorite episodes all about video repurposing.

Featured episode #1: How Repurpose YouTube Videos on Social Media with Amy Landino

“The main platform is YouTube. The backup, the behind the scenes, are on Instagram. I try to keep that busy with stuff all the time. We are repurposing constantly.” Amy Landino

Featured episode #2: How to Repurpose Videos for Social Media

“For Facebook Lives, really do think about the aspect ratio of your video before you go live, if you are going to go on and repurpose the live. If you are recording it on your phone, don't hold it in the portrait mode, because then you'll have a portrait video, and it won't be very good for repurposing. You want to hold your video in landscape mode.” 

If Amy’s advice has got you ready to repurpose to social media channels, that’s great! But first ask yourself, what channels would you like to repurpose to? And do you know the best way to repurpose videos for each one?
