Summary
An investment in content marketing is an investment in
lead generation. This includes blogs, PDFs/white papers,
videos, podcast episodes, and more. If teams don’t have
the capacity to create content, outsource - this is a common
strategy as more than half of companies choose to delegate
their content to at least 1+ agencies. From there, utilize the
most of each content piece by repurposing it into many
bite-sized marketing assets optimized for each social
media outlet.

assets they see, the better.
Only about
of your followers will
see a social post on
Twitter or Facebook;
aim to be everywhere
and be there multiple

The average lifespan of a new post/content on these social
media outlets is short lived, which is why repurposing is so crucial:

20+ days
Summary
Taking time to repurpose a content piece into several
marketing assets isn’t a quick job, which is why significantly
more than half of top marketers don’t do it. But it’s also a
necessity. A great hack to optimize this time is to create
templates for your repurposed assets that can simply be
customized with each content piece’s details. These assets
make people familiar with your brand, bringing them closer
to your sales team. And since the lifespan of a social media
post can be as short as 18 minutes, it’s crucial to repurpose
and reshare content regularly.

Summary
It’s a well-known fact that video tends to outperform
any other type of content. But that doesn’t mean to stop
creating text-heavy pieces like blog articles and white
papers. Go one step further and use tools like Headliner.app
to create video out of your articles. Not only does this help
with viewer retention and social engagement/shares, but it
also drives way more traffic and visitors, ultimately growing
business revenue 49% faster than marketing without video.
