Great content is like an amazing dish—it’s meant to be remixed and shared!

That means a great blog post should also be:

Visualized and explained in a webinar.
Rewritten as a Twitter thread.
Discussed in a podcast.

Doing so makes it easy for people to consume your content how they want to—whether attending a live webinar or listening to a podcast while at the gym.

That’s exactly the content strategy that Amanda Natividad, VP of marketing at SparkToro, uses to maximize the reach of the content she creates. Today, Amanda discusses how she repurposes SparkToro’s popular office hour webinars attended by thousands of marketers into blog posts.

She even believes that starting with a webinar before writing a blog post might be better:

“As you’re presenting your ideas, you can pick up on how the audience are reacting. For example, people in the chat might be saying, ‘Oh, that’s a really good example.’ They could even tell you if they’re confused. Those things give you clue to improve your content.”

In this Marketing Powerups episode, you’ll learn:

The benefits of repurposing webinars into blog posts versus the other way around.
Amanda’s detailed process for turning webinars into blog posts.
The art of coining terms like “zero-click content.”
A resume tip that’s helped Amanda transition from a test kitchen chef to a VP of marketing at a fast-growing startup.
