How can I imagine content reuse?

When you can reuse content, it’s a matter of no time.
Focus on reusing content, not repurposing
Reusing and repurposing content are different content strategies.Many organizations focus on repurposing content instead of reusing it, which leads to wasted resources and tons of outdated single-use content.
Repurposing content involves reworking old content for new purposes, but it’s labor-intensive and encourages a focus on single-use, short-term results. This approach assumes that poorly created content can be fixed later. It ignores the root cause of why the original content failed.
On the other hand, reusable content is designed and optimized to be adaptable for different scenarios. With this approach, organizations don’t need to invest time into reworking their content to make it useful long-term.To maximize the benefits of reusable content, it’s crucial to plan for reusing from the start and consider the potential of the content in various contexts and channels.
