Content atomization can help you re-imagine how you strengthen the reach and impact of your marketing efforts, but what does atomization really entail, and how is it favorable for your business at all?
Your business has a story to tell. Content is vital for building and maintaining credibility, sparking customer interest, and establishing healthy relationships with prospects, employees, potential partners, and other key stakeholders. By employing smart and cunning content strategies, you amplify your existing marketing efforts and keep your ideas and research fresh and your team’s productivity high!
Atomization is a valuable practice within the world of content creation and advisory that pushes the marketing system and how your business engages with others. So much so that it has become a cornerstone of any successful marketing plan during the past decade.
Yes, It is practical but somewhat time-consuming. It requires plenty of imagination, preparation, and a significant amount of research to develop posts, podcasts, videos, newsletters, creative copy, and the right approach to design to represent your brand, service, or product. The more impactful each piece of content you create is, the more you will be able to capitalize on its popularity… and we love that for you.
What is content atomization?
Content atomization is the practice of repurposing smaller parts of strong and successful content pieces to create even more new content. For example, you can have a sizable blog to take ‘punch lines’ and turn them into quotes you share on social media, an informative video, or sweet stats design. You can also distribute these different types of content around other platforms to get more traction and maximize brand awareness.
Why is it important?
Atomization helps you reach your return on investment (ROI) from content development while helping you save time and risk. By repurposing sections of an already impactful piece of content, you’re amplifying its reach and avoiding the need to create even more assets from scratch, which is also a great way to save time and money! As a result, your content and message can become more consistent and efficient, which leads to a better ROI for your marketing budget.
Atomization positions you as an expert. Multiple pieces of content dealing with your industry will offer the impression that you are a trustworthy source on the topic at hand. Aside from supporting various content segments, atomization is super-efficient. It amplifies distribution and is prone to bringing in different audiences drawn to other channels and information mediums.
Tips for atomizing your content
Atomizing your content can be effortless and painless. However, it does require a bit of planning and thinking. Here are some tips to get you started:
Plan ahead. Atomizing requires the careful planning of topics and their channels of distribution. Once you’ve decided on your topic and forum, ensure it’s spread out correctly not to bore viewers or fall behind when you don’t post consistently.
Tweak and optimize your content according to your channel of choice. For example, don’t simply copy and paste things from an article, research, or blog post. Instead, you can rephrase things to make them work accordingly.
Providing a clear CTA (Call To Action) lets the reader get deeper into your brand. Make sure you let them know where they can find the original content, where to get in contact with you, or how to become advocates by making them excited about promoting it themselves.
Promote your content over social media and create a good calendar to keep posts organized. Whether your larger piece of content comes in the shape of a blog post, an essay, a video, or another, social media distribution should be at the top of your list regarding atomization. Ensure you’re building curiosity about your content, not simply reposting or sharing it.
