Content Repurposing for Social Media
Nowadays, there are many social media platforms which serve content creators and provide them with quite interesting options for monetization.
Creators also want to make content for all these platforms and grow their brands, but it’s a bit hard to think of all platforms because everyone has limited time, and diversifying that time may cost the quality of content being created.
That’s the reason, many smart content creators have started to repurpose their content for all social media platforms. For example, a YouTuber made a long video for YouTube, now he is editing the videos in many small clips, and posting those on Instagram and Facebook.
Many creators are converting their video into an audio file and posting it as a podcast. So this is the new field where you can get a job and repurpose content for any creator and make quite good money.

You may also need to be a jack of all trades, sometimes editing a short clip, sometimes making a graphic, sometimes suggesting some content ideas, and many more, but your main task will be to present the content creator with whom you’re working in every social media platform and grow his brand to the most extent.
