Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

What are the benefits of repurposing content on social media?

Repurposing your own content enables you to reach a wider audience, meet your existing following on their favorite apps, and strengthen your online presence. Repurposing content for social media is the best way to, not only gain more visibility for your personal brand, but also for providing value to your audience. This gives you more of a chance to gain more viewers that stay longer and turn into long-term followers.

How do you repurpose existing content?

To repurpose content, creators will need to understand the requirements and specifications for each channel plus think about how the audience on that social media platform differs from their following on other platforms. In general, it’s useful to start with one head piece of content, then clip it down and resize it into clips for other short-form video channels. We recommend choosing one platform as your primary community and driving traffic to that community from other networks.

What are some examples of repurposing long form videos?

Here are a few ideas to turn video content into: video ads, a blog post, educational videos, customer testimonials, teasing a podcast episode—all without sacrificing some of your marketing budget. A great tool to repurpose social media content is the online video editor, Kapwing. Kapwing has multiple presets for social media size and dimensions including Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn Videos, and many more. You can use Kapwing directly in your web browser, so you can repurpose social media content on your phone or computer. This works on iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows, etc.

What does repurposing content mean?

Content recycling (or content repurposing) is a practice that involves taking existing content and transforming its components (idea, text, image) into other pieces of content that fit properly to its corresponding platform. An example of recycled content is turning a podcast into a blog post or turning a blog post into an infographic. This makes it easier for others to share your content, giving you more visibility on your work.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As a English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
