Re-purposing content into
slideshows and infographics
![Page 2: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why create visual content?
![Page 3: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
You have 3 seconds
(or less) to capture someone’s
attention
![Page 4: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
If you can’t win your prospect’s attention, you can’t convert them into customers.

“I don’t read, I
just look at
the pictures”
Andy agrees:
![Page 6: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
You are competing with an overwhelming
amount of content.
![Page 7: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Every two days we
create as much
information as we did
from the dawn of
civilization up until 2003” says Eric Schmidt
[former Google CEO]
![Page 8: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
People only remember about 20% of what
they read,
but retain about 83%of
what they learn visually
![Page 9: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Photo posts get 53% more likes
and 104% more comments than the
average Facebook post”

Facebook Pages
![Page 10: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So what is visual
content?
![Page 11: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Videos! Charts! Slideshows!
![Page 12: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
So here it is...

A step-by-step
guide to
repurposing
content into
Slideshows and
Infographics
![Page 14: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step #1: Choose a piece of written content to
repurpose
Blog posts, whitepapers, articles, webinars and long slideshows are
perfect candidates.
![Page 15: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• has a clear process, storyline, or key milestones.
• contains useful, interesting information that your customers will want to know.
Make sure this piece of content
![Page 16: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ask yourself
Is this something
my audience
will want to share?
![Page 17: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tip: Don’t bite off more than you can chew
Don’t try to
repurpose the whole
thing. Just don’t.
![Page 18: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step #2: Break it down.
Package your content into practical,
easy-to-consume bites

For example...
Before91 words
A study conducted by JD Power and Associates reported
that 42% of companies listed social listening in their top
three priorities for 2013. Compared to more traditional
research tools like focus groups, interviews and surveys,
social listening often yields fresher, more current data,
usually with less effort involved.
Social listening can be used to track relevant conversations
that businesses can use to connect with new prospects,
identify conversations and topics that will connect to your
customers’ needs and pains, identify and connect with
potential partners / resellers and monitor competitive
activity.

What do you want
your audience to
remember?
“Be short,
concise &
powerful”
said
Napoleon
![Page 29: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Wondering if that image had anything to do with the message of the
previous slide? Us too.
Don’t let that happen.
![Page 33: Repurposing content into infographics and slideshows](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042518/54c7a9224a79590f1d8b457a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
