Why Twitter Should Be A Focus For Your Repurposed Content Studies show that you’ll get the most use out of Twitter if you tweet up to 30x a day, while small business owners do better around 5 tweets/day. (Kevan Lee) A tweet usually has a “life” of 18 minutes. That’s why you want to tweet often: the more you tweet, the more you will see engagement. (Kevan Lee) Link to your blogs and content, often: 50% of all re-tweeted tweets contain links. (Leo Widrich) Re-sharing your content is vital on Twitter: you can get just as many if not more re-tweets on your second, third and fourth posts of the same blog. (Belle Beth Cooper) Use different headlines as you tweet. Your unique second headline can get double the amount of clicks. (Leo Widrich) Going viral is more possible on Twitter than Facebook because of the immediate traction tweets get. Facebook posts have a shelf life of 5 hours.

Podcasts are a hot commodity right now, and your written content provides some great resources for one (or several). Look at your popular posts and then host a podcast talking more in-depth on them. (Megan Marrs) Turn Your Content into Powerful Videos. Your existing written content can be used as visual in multiple ways, including video.
