How to repurpose content

It’s all about your audience
A big mistake I see a lot of businesses make in their marketing copy is that they make it all about themselves. We do this, we do that, and so on. Stop that now! My advice is to review and reword every line of copy you have on your website that starts with “we”. Your audience simply doesn't care.
What is PR and why do we need it?
Where ad campaigns typically focus on driving sales, PR is about building trust and establishing a great reputation. A unique story or perspective will drive coverage for your brand. Here's how to up your PR game without making a huge investment.
Price is a myth
Asking a creative to do something for free or cheaper as “it would be great for your portfolio” really is an insult. Yet graphic designers, photographers, artists, and copywriters hear it all the time. There are many people who try to lowball or, even worse, don’t want to pay creators for their work at all. That's rude.
