2 Brilliant Brainstorms

What will you do? Get specific about two things you can do to reuse your content.

1. Your Idea________
2. Your Idea________

If you’re thinking, won’t my clients get bored? if I keep reusing content? The answer is no. You will continue to have and use new ideas. You will refine ideas you’ve already talked about.

You’ll use different formats that will appeal to different people. Some people love video, some pig out on podcasts, others learn better by reading. And while my recent Facebook live got a good response, people didn’t want to take notes, so a checklist or transcript becomes a value add.

Look at the content you’ve already created. How can you reuse it? I can’t wait to see!
