If you're creating content from scratch every day, it's kind of like ... baking your own bread. I mean, I see the appeal but why?
Fact of the matter is: It's hard creating content from scratch. You're almost never going to be consistent with it if you do it that way and consistency matters more than perfection.
The good news is: Repurposing works. It works really well. Your best posts from a month ago can still be a hit.
The secret: it's not about recycling the same content – it's about extracting maximum value from each insight. As always, here's the deep-dive with straight-up actionable advice/templates (I value your time, dear reader):
