Yes – it’s always much faster to repurpose your existing content than to start out from scratch.

Barb,
It’s so easy to experience overwhelm while building your online business. Take some time out just for yourself each day, and connect with others in forums and social media sites. I also spend quite a bit of time volunteering with local charities, and this has given my life more meaning as I remember my big ‘Why’ for wanting to grow my business to begin with.
Congratulations on all you have achieved so far!
Connie

Great info Connie thanks. I’m busy creating and writing (and building my list) as well as studying. I get overwhelmed sometimes with all of the information. But I will keep moving forward.

Geoff,
The idea of creating content or a product once and then using/selling it over and over again is an amazing concept. Once I understood it and put it into play my business soared. Thanks so much for your comment.

My friend Randy Cassingham always says, “Write Once, Sell Often.” He should know, he was one of the first people to have an email newsletter. He has re-purposed that content into books, tee shirts, mugs, etc., etc.

This is a radical idea for some, but it is something we all have to look at very seriously.

Great post, Connie.

Dale,
You are too kind. You are successful because you take action and implement what you are learning.
I love your list of the ways you have repurposed your original writing in order to achieve your goal.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Connie, this is such a powerful post, I seriously doubt if many people realize what they have in their sweaty little hands here. It is truly a golden key that will unlock the door to success in anyone’s online endeavors.
It closely follows your 5 prong approach that I have taped to my office wall, it is old, the edges are curling up, but I see it every day and do my best to follow the concept. I recently used the ideas you talk about in this post to flood my target market for my Big Bad Horse Sale.
For example; I had 18 horses for sale, wrote a short description of each horse, then used it in; a blog post, a video, a photo description, craigslist , us freeads, dream horse, autoresponder, Facebook, twitter, my online sale catalog, my printed sale catalog, and my bid sheet for the silent auction, I know there is more but gives the idea.
That is roughly 10 items on each horse so there are 180 pieces of content floating around that ended up attracting buyers to my sale. And I did the same thing with my horses photos, The possibilities are endless.
Thanks Connie
Dale

Kasi,
Content creation is even more fun when you can use what you create over and over again. Just this morning I used a PowerPoint presentation I had written for a select audience to create a new post on one of my blogs. It only took me about fifteen minutes to write the post because I had done most of the work when I originally put the presentation together.

In reply to Connie Green. Fifteen minutes? I love the sound of that! :-)
