Everyone wants to create more content in 2022.

But how?

What if you could 10x your content output...

Without writing more blog posts or articles.

✨ Sounds like magic, right?✨

Not exactly.

Let's get into it.

🧵
If you follow me, you likely already know what I'm talking about…

⭐️ Content repurposing ⭐️
Honestly, the sky's the limit when it comes to repurposing.

But that also can cause a lot of content creators to feel overwhelmed.
So we created a new tactic & process to avoid falling into that trap:

✨Content Repurposing Menu✨
When you go to a restaurant, you don't eat everything on the menu.

You pick and choose a few dishes that will help you reach your goal of….not being hungry.

At its core, the Content Repurposing Menu can be thought of in a very similar way.
Instead of trying to repurpose every piece of content that you want to publish into:

✅Twitter thread
✅LinkedIn deck
✅10+ LinkedIn shares
✅10+ Twitter shares
✅10 + Instagram posts
✅YouTube video
✅Medium post
✅eBooks
✅PDF downloadable
✅Webinar summary
✅And more
You can pick a few repurposed options, without stretching your team too thin.

For example, for a case study we just need:

✅2 Twitter threads
✅15 social shares
✅An email newsletter
✅A downloadable eBook

Not literally EVERYTHING on the Repurposing Menu.
The Repurposing Menu also helps you plan your repurposed content out weeks in advance.

For every major content asset, you can plan out a thread, video, or visual before publishing.

And avoid scrambling to repurpose one the week of publishing.
I have found that taking this approach to content planning has really helped us establish a good publishing cadence.

As well as maximizing the shelf life of all of our content.
With this approach, we are literally creating once, & distributing it forever.

There's only one type of Repurposing, right?

Nope!

And you have likely been using the WRONG one this entire time.

Let me show you how to use the RIGHT one.

🧵
Let's cut to the chase.

There are two main types of Repurposing:

⭐️ Reactive
⭐️ Active

Which one have you been using?
Likely, Reactive Repurposing.

With this approach, you wait to see if that new content is "successful" before you invest any more time/effort.

Those positive metrics are giving people "permission" to create more supporting content.

A few weeks ago, @BuzzSumo published the Top 100 Marketers You Should Follow.

We decided to round up the top/funniest share or thread from each marketer into a MEGA THREAD.

You could write a book with the amount of knowledge in this thread.

Grab a coffee, let's dive in!

Could you boil your company vision down to just 5 simple words?

Figma has.

And in my opinion, it helped them grow 5x in less than a year.

How did they turn those 5 words into a $10B valuation?

Let's break it down.

🧵
Those 5 simple words are:

⭐️Collaborative
⭐️Borderless
⭐️Transparent
⭐️Community-driven
⭐️Open-sourced

They might not mean anything by themselves.

But they are literally a checklist that @figmadesign wants to use to build the future of design.
At its core, Figma wants to make design accessible to everyone.

These 5 words explain exactly how they plan to do that.

And when you take a look at their company as a whole, you can see these values everywhere.

From their homepage all the way down to their help documents.

The design world is an EXTRA competitive niche.

So how did Figma grow by 5x in less than a year?

As well as hitting a $10B valuation in less than 5 years.

Well, it came down to 5 simple words.

Let's break it down.

🧵
@figmadesign has seen rocketship-level growth over the past few years.

Growing from a $2B to a $10B valuation in the past year.

They did it in an extremely competitive industry while battling a ton of entrenched brands like Adobe, Microsoft, & more.

So how did they do this?
Well, on the surface it might be a little opaque.

They didn't really invest in SEO or build a fancy advertising campaign.

However, once you land on their About Us page...everything starts to make sense.

Building a following is tough these days.

However, you can drive a ton of growth just by asking your followers a...question.

We used this hack to boost our Twitter following by 30% in 2 months.

And increase impressions by 300% in 30 days.

Let's break it down.

🧵
Literally all you have to do is ask your followers a question.

Or two. Or twelve.

Sounds easy, right?

Wrong!
First, you have to ask the RIGHT type of questions.

At Foundation, we try to keep the questions extremely focused on marketing or social media.

Asking people what they had for dinner or what type of coffee they like...never really took off.

Zapier drives 5+ million sessions to its "Best Of" listicles each year.

It's a super impressive metric.

But that doesn't mean anything if they CAN'T convert those readers.

Zapier has that figured out too.

And every great content writer should want to know their secrets...

🧵
Over the past 5+ years, Zapier has built an incredible SEO moat with these listicles.

These ~100 listicles currently drive over 455k sessions per month & rank on 287k keywords.

From the best note-taking apps to the best URL shorteners, they have a listicle for it.
They rank in the top spots for things like:

🔗 URL Shortener - 85k searches/month
✅ To-Do List - 54k searches/month
💻 Link Shortener - 49k searches/month
📆 Calendar App - 10k searches/month

Yet, they don't produce any apps that are related to those keywords.
