As a content creator, I understand how challenging it can be to constantly come up with new ideas for videos, as well as how time consuming it can be..
However, I also know that once you create a video, there are plenty of ways to repurpose it and reach a wider audience. In this article, I'm going to share 5 ways to repurpose a YouTube video that will not only help you reach more people but also save you time in the long run!
Before we dive into the ways to repurpose a YouTube video, I want to mention a service that can be a game-changer for you when it comes to repurposing content. YT Copycat is a platform that allows you to turn your YouTube videos into tweets, blog articles, newsletters, and video summaries, all with just a few clicks. It's a great way to save time and reach new audiences, and I'll be mentioning it throughout this article.
1. Turn Your YouTube Video into a Blog Article
One of the easiest ways to repurpose a YouTube video is by turning it into a blog post. Not only is this a great way to reach people who prefer reading over watching videos, but it's also a way to rank for keywords that you may not be able to rank for with your video alone. To turn your video into a blog post, start by transcribing the video. You can either do this manually or use a transcription service online. Once you have the transcript, you can use it as the basis for your blog post. Be sure to add headings, images, and any other relevant information to make the post engaging.
Using YT Copycat, you can easily turn your blog post into a tweet, newsletter, or even a video summary that can be used to promote the blog post on YouTube.
2. Turn Your YouTube Video into Tweets
Twitter is a great platform for promoting your YouTube videos, but it can also be used to repurpose them. You can use snippets from your video to create a series of tweets that can be scheduled to go out over a period of time. To create tweets from your video, start by watching the video and taking note of any key points or quotes. Then, using a tool like Canva, create graphics that include the quotes or key points, along with an eye-catching image. Tweets are great because they can also help with keyword ranking on search engine result pages.
3. Turn Your YouTube Video into a Newsletter
Newsletters are a great way to stay in touch with your audience and keep them up to date on your latest content. You can use your YouTube video as the basis for your newsletter by summarizing the key points and including a link to the video. To create a newsletter from your video, start by summarizing the key points in a way that will be engaging for your audience. You can use bullet points, headings, and images to make the newsletter visually appealing. Then you need to create an exciting newsletter template for your audience to consume. Think of using a variety of colors, design themes and text that pop out in the readers email inbox.
4. Turn Your YouTube Video into a Video Summary
Video summaries are a great way to repurpose your YouTube videos and reach people who may not have the time or inclination to watch the full video. A video summary should be no more than a few minutes long and should highlight the key points of the video. To create a video summary, start by watching the video and taking note of the key points. Then, using a tool like iMovie or Adobe Premiere, create a short video that includes these key points along with an introduction and conclusion. For even easier steps, use YT Copycat to turn this video summary into a blog post, tweet, or newsletter that can be used to promote the full video on YouTube.
5. Turn Your YouTube Video into an Infographic
Infographics are a great way to present information in a visually appealing and easy-to-understand way. You can use your YouTube video as the basis for an infographic by summarizing the key points and presenting them in a visual format. To create an infographic from your video, start by summarizing the key points and identifying the most important information. Then, using a tool like Canva or Piktochart, create an infographic that includes this information along with relevant images and graphics.
Repurposing your YouTube videos can help you reach new audiences and save time in the long run. By using a variety of online services, you can easily turn your videos into blog posts, tweets, newsletters, and video summaries, all with just a few clicks. With these five methods of repurposing your content, you'll be able to reach a wider audience and get more out of each video you create.
