Can I be honest with you? Sometimes life happens and things get super busy. Sometimes when I get home I have zero energy and all I want to do is get in bed. I know that I'm not the only one that feels this way sometimes so I try not to be too hard on myself. When it's "just one of those days" I try my best to show myself some self love and take a break. The thing about taking breaks though is the world goes on. If you're anything like me then you can't stand the thought of falling behind. That feeling is magnified in the world of business, blogging, and branding. One day off when you're unprepared can be the difference between a sale or no sale. We're all human and we need breaks. I've learned to to keep my blog and brand up and running even when I'm not. The easy way to do this is by repurposing your blog content. Check out some super easy ways to convert your existing blog content into content for six different social media channels.


Repurposing Your Blog Content for Social Media Channels

In my opinion, Instagram is the best social media channel for microblogging. Using your Instagram account to microblog sets the stage for you to repurpose blog posts. Here's how:

1. Create a summary of main points of your chosen blog post and share with a great photo
2. If you use video's on your blog, share an attention grabbing clip of video. 
Tip: Always share the link you are directing  your audience to in your Instagram profile.

Twitter
