Unlock the Full Potential of Your Webinar & Live Stream Content
The Secret Formula for Creating Viral Videos Every marketer knows that running webinars takes significant effort—research, preparation, sourcing speakers, event promotion, and managing assets. And after investing so much into your webinar, you should expect a strong return on your efforts. Webinars aren’t just one-time events; they’re a goldmine of content that can be repurposed across multiple platforms. By implementing a strategic video marketing approach, you can maximize the reach of your webinar and extend its value beyond the live event. For instance, you can transform key insights into bite-sized clips for social media. Check out how to create video content for social media to ensure your content remains engaging across different platforms. Plus, leveraging live-streaming video production can help improve future webinars and expand your audience reach. We’ve compiled this list of creative ways to repurpose your webinar content to help you maximize the ROI of your video marketing efforts. Include a few of these in your webinar checklist, and get more benefits out of your marketing videos! 1. Host a webinar as an evergreen content on your website The life of a Webinar doesn’t end once you stop recording. Adding your video to your website as evergreen content is the first thing you should do after the recording is processed. There are various approaches to this. Many companies maintain a dedicated page for housing webinars, making it easier for people to navigate and find your webinar archive. This page can either be a branded video channel or simply a collection of video embeds on a single page. Individual webinars can also be hosted on the blog pages to add more diverse context to your video presentation. 2. Write a blog post or series around webinar topics The most obvious way to repurpose webinar content is blogs. They’re also perfect for communicating teeny-tiny details — like step-by-step instructions — which are usually hard to remember after watching the video. They can also serve as a relatively low-lift follow-up to the live event. For a straightforward approach, you can reuse the webinar outline to guide a recap post. In the absence of a dedicated webinar library or a prominent call-to-action to drive people to watch the full recording, this post can also include a video embedded in the actual webinar.If you happen to host a guest, you can also leverage their network and expertise for a guest post. It can be a more detailed version of the webinar or a topic tangential to the central theme. For example, if you’re hosting a sales-centric webinar with an expert, you can publish a follow-up post on the top 10 tips by the expert for successful sales outreach. You can even build a blog series around each of the individual tips if the blog gains enough traction and resonates with your audience. 3. Create an in-depth report or ebook If the topic is strong enough, you can even create a detailed report or eBook on the topic as a compliment. Just like blog content, this supplemental asset can follow the general presentation outline or deep dive into one specific area. An asset like this is also a good value addition as a follow-up to your post-webinar email. Alternatively, you can also repurpose a recent report or guide to a successful webinar in a larger marketing campaign. Be creative with the content and campaigns you already have, and look for various ways to use the same core materials. Less work for you and a better experience for your audience; it’s an absolute win-win! 4. Record a podcast with a webinar guest If your business has a brand podcast, be all ears! Webinars are a great gateway for finding your next podcast guest. Take forward your webinar conversation by inviting people involved in the event to join your show — be it internal or external. If you’ve not started a branded podcast yet, webinars can be a natural first step to launching a new show. With different guests and topics already at your disposal, you can use webinars as foundations for initial podcast episodes. Podcasts can prove to be a great way to dive deeper into the topics that you could not explore during the full broadcast. If you’re on the quest for more podcast material, webinars are the best way to hold a Q&A. If you have any leftover audience questions from your webinar, you can use your podcast as an opportunity to answer them. Even if they had been answered in the webinar, you could still get your guest to revisit questions in detail. 5. Capture Q&A conversations and poll answers for content Talking of Q&A, the interactive elements of a webinar are a treasure for repurposing content. During your live presentation, viewers’ questions can spark inspiration for follow-up blogs or even guarantee an offline conversation to have a deep dive into the topic. Polls are also important information that can be shared across other platforms like social media follow-ups, blog posts, etc. Just ensure your moderator collects and documents this information for future use. 6. Create bite-sized graphics Transforming complex data and insights from your webinar into interesting bite-sized graphics is a sure-shot way to keep your audience engaged. If your webinar has some new or compelling data and insights, simplify that information further by translating it into easy-to-understand, interesting visuals. Webinar graphics are an amazingly effective way to receive traction on social media. Vibrant, bold, colorful images are great for catching your viewers’ attention while they’re simply scrolling on their feeds. You can repurpose these assets as amazing, amazing, eye-catching hooks to get people excited about your webinar content — whether it’s the actual recording, a podcast episode, or a follow-up blog. Custom graphics are also really useful in creating brand awareness. People love sharing visual information like strong quotes or some compelling data. If you feel that your webinar content is a good fit for visual components, leverage your graphic design skills and build simple, branded graphics. Now, while sharing your content, people will know exactly which
