7 ways to repurpose your YouTube videos

Are you crazy busy running your business? Here are 7 ways you can repurpose your YouTube videos to create other content and promote your channel.

As a business owner, you feel like you have to show up everywhere on online. YouTube, your newsletter, your blog, Instagram, Instagram stories, Facebook, Twitter, and so on.

The truth is, it’s hard to create content for all these platforms. That’s why I’m going to show you 7 ways to repurpose your YouTube videos.

Honestly, the #1 reason I switched from blogging to creating YouTube videos is because I could repurpose my videos. Yep, laziness efficiency.

I have so much going on that I don’t have time to be everywhere, but creating videos helps.

7 ways to repurpose your YouTube videos

01 Instagram

Even though I’m on almost every platform, Instagram  is probably the social media that I use the most.

I love interacting with people there. It’s also a great way to repurpose your YouTube videos.

#1 you can cut a clip of your video and upload it to your feed to promote your video. I think this is a smart way to promote your videos.

#2 you can just repurpose your YouTube thumbnail image and add it to your feed. I actually don’t like this option because I like to have a pretty Instagram feed.

Check out my Instagram feed here!

I actually like to take the still image of myself that I use from my thumbnail because I need to add more of myself on my feed.

No matter what choice you pick, you can summarize what your YouTube video is about and add it to your Instagram caption.

02 Facebook

Facebook is another platform you can use to repurpose your videos. It’s my second favorite platform to be on because it’s easier to interact with other businesses.

You can upload your video to facebook or your can create a post summarizing your video and link the video.

03 IG TV

#3 IG TV. You can repurpose your videos to IG TV. You just have to reformat the video dimensions and upload the video. The video should be in portrait or 1080px by 1920px.

I have a client that actually repurposes her videos exactly as is to YouTube, Facebook, and IG TV. You can check out her portfolio here.

I don’t have anything on my IG TV, but maybe I’ll upload this video and a couple others to test it out after I film this video.

Mwahaha, I’ll link my first IG TV video below. *Yes, that was my villainous laugh*

04 Instagram Stories

You can repurpose your video by editing 15 second clips and adding them to your Instagram Stories.

I like to film a summary of what the video is about and repurpose my YouTube thumbnail.

05 Blog Post

Blogging  is my favorite way to repurpose my YouTube videos. I started off blogging so I didn’t want to give it up.

Also, this is great for SEO. You can kill 2 birds with one stone by getting your video transcribed. The transcription can be used as a caption for your videos, which is great for SEO and for the hearing impaired.

You can also use the transcription for your blog post, which is also great for SEO. Plus, if something ever happens to YouTube and you lose all your videos, *knock on wood*, then you’ll still have your blog up on the website that you own.

06 Newsletter

You can repurpose your videos to your newsletter. You can write relevant content that relates to your video and then add a link to your video.

07 Course

There’s so many other places to repurpose your YouTube video, like Twitter, LinkedIn, and maybe even a podcast, but the last way I’m going to mention is using it in a course.

I’ve seen other businesses do this, and I think it’s so smart. They use their videos as a extra resource in their course if there’s extra information you need to know and they already created the content before.

I think it’s a great way to show your expertise in a subject, and a convenient way to get people to watch your videos.

Okay, those were the 7 ways you can repurpose your videos. Let me know in the comments if you repurpose your YouTube videos?

Why a vlogger should have a website

I’m a big fan of binge-watching videos on YouTube. When I fall in love with a vlogger, I tend to go to their YouTube channel and look through their social media and website. I always feel disappointed when I discover that they don’t have a website or that the website is made on another platform that they don’t own (blogger or wordpress.com) because the design is usually subpar. Here’s why a vlogger should have a website.

Why a vlogger should have a website

Stake a claim

Having a website means that you own it. Social media is owned by big businesses that only care about how the platform will make money for them, so they don’t have your best interest at heart. A website is owned by you, which means you can do whatever you want with it at any time.

 

It's mine

 

So once you have one, what’s the point? Well, it’s time to build your community. You want to build a community on your own site, just in case the algorithm changes again on the social media platforms and it becomes harder to reach people. Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest are always changing how your audience views your content. The easiest way to drive traffic to your site is actually pointing your social media followers to your website. Just add your website link to all your social media accounts.

Another way to build a community is to start a newsletter. Just add an opt-in to your website so that people can sign up. You can get started with Mailerlite or Mailchimp for FREE. Later, when you expand, you can start selling products and services to your list, but in the beginning, you want to nurture your list and build your following by providing great content. The point is, having a website gives you control over your content and opens up new avenues for growth.

Venture out

I hinted at new avenues for growth. What does that mean? It means there are so many possibilities for the future. Maybe you started creating videos for fun on YouTube, but then realize you want to do it as a full-time job. Maybe you started it to market one aspect of your business but decided to switch up your business plan and expand.

Dreams and plans always change, so it’s better to be prepared. It’s never too early to start. The first thing you should do is have a website so you can start collecting subscribers so that you’ll have potential customers who will know you and trust you. Next, you want to think about how you want to be perceived and who you want to attract. Once you answer that question, you can start thinking about branding your business (branding usually comes before the website, but you want to get started quickly).

 

endless possibilites

 

If you’re not sure what you want to do, just start thinking about where you want to be in one year. Then, think about 5 years from now. Are you going to still create videos then? Do you want to have your own business? It’s worth thinking about or preparing for just in case. Read More “Why a vlogger should have a website”

YouTube Lighting setup for beginners

YouTube Lighting setup for beginners

Don’t know anything about lighting when it comes to filming your videos? Here’s an easy youtube lighting setup for beginners.

Lighting is important when it comes to filming your videos. Light can make your videos look more polished or more high quality. Bad lighting will destroy the quality of your footage.

I thought long and hard about what type of lighting setup I would focus on, and I decided to make this video on the lazy/cheap way to get the best lighting. Basically, I’m going to show you what I use for lighting.

You’ve heard of 3 point lighting, right? I’m not going to do that here. It’s time-consuming and I don’t have an official studio. So those lights are hidden away downstairs in a closet.
