You've created a podcast episode that is informative, entertaining, and engaging But what do you do now? How can you keep the momentum going and continue to grow your audience? You can recycle it! Repurposing your podcast content into multiple pieces of content is a great way to maximise its reach and get the most out of your content.

Tune in to this episode as I chat with Cassondra Collins, a Content Repurposing expert who has leaned on the advice her grandfather gave her at a young age, "work smarter, not harder." She applies this concept to content creation and teaches people how to create new content without creating NEW content.

You will walk away with tips for getting started with repurposing your podcast content, what content you should pull to get your listeners/audience to take action and an easy way you can store your content.
