Creating content is hard work, which is why you need to squeeze every last drop of goodness out of the content assets you develop. The key to making content creation easier is "reimagining"—not merely recycling—your content.

What does that mean?

It means treating every piece of content you create not as a one-off, but as a critical piece of a larger whole and an important link in a sustainable content ecosystem—a Content Circle of Life. We're talking about cultivating a garden of content in which continual cross-pollination produces new and surprising varieties of flowers and where, to further mix metaphors, each little blog post can actually drive a great big content engine ("I think I can! I think I can!")!

This PRO seminar is also the first class of MarketingProfs University's Content Marketing Crash Course.
