How to Repurpose Content from Your Live Events Year-Round

We’re living in a world that is so information-driven that if you’re not leveraging your event content post-event, you’re missing out. Events are content generation hubs. You can capture more useful content during the duration of your event than weeks of pumping out content on your own with just your team. It’s easy to repurpose from virtual events, and it’s something that individuals have been really embracing over the past few years. But, as you return to live events, how can you continue this profitable practice? How do you repurpose content from your live events? Today, we’re going to share some tips with you!?

Why You Should Repurpose Your Live Event Content

But first, why is this such an important concept to embrace? Here are a few reasons why:

Enhance Your SEO

Google loves backlinks and fresh content. The more links you have driving people to your content out in the wide world of the internet, the better chances you have of getting ranked on Google. Plus, the more authoritative content you’re putting out into the world, the more sharing and the happier our friend Google is. This is an ultra-simplified version, but we can help you figure out how to leverage your content post-event to help with the Google genies.

Greater ROI & Engagement on Speaker Investments

Hiring quality thought leaders cost a pretty penny for speaking engagements, and rightfully so. In order to make ROI on your speaker investments, make sure that you leverage their sessions in multiple places after the event. Maybe a VIP investment where attendees get recordings, perhaps sharing it with your membership group with an exclusive Q&A sesh with the speaker afterward. If you want to put it out into the world with wider reach, share the video with a blog recap. There are so many opportunities here to gain engagement, sales, and follows after the event with this content.

Increased Team Productivity

This one’s simple, but a lot of leaders don’t consider it. When your team isn’t focusing on creating content from scratch weekly, imagine how much time that will free up to pursue other business initiatives!
