4 Common Mistakes You Must Avoid In Content Repurposing

Repurposing content is a strategic approach in content marketing and digital communications where existing content is reformatted and adapted for use across different platforms or for different audiences. This strategy can benefit individuals, organizations, and companies alike. One of the reasons I cancelled most of my training contracts back in the day was the limited impact. Training 20-30 people at a time is great. You can bond with them and work with every single one. But I switched to blogging, conferences, and content repurposing because I felt locked.  My time is limited. If I have 6 hours for training or… Continue Reading

Top 10 Interview Questions When Hiring A Content Marketer

First off, freelance marketplaces are underappreciated. I remember I submitted several jobs for part-time freelance writers on Upwork in 2017 and I received a total of ~20 applications. Most of them were spam and automated bot submissions. I remember that posting the same job 5 years ago would have yielded 60–100 applications or about 10x what one may expect at the moment. Most people gave up on Upwork while legitimate clients still use it as one of the many channels for finding freelancers (and even full-time employees).

This includes business for my core company, my consulting business, and two other ventures I’ve been working on. Content… Continue Reading
