So, you know that you need to be repurposing content. After all, you paid for it—you want to maximize your ROI, right? And you’ve already thought about turning old blog posts into new blog posts, turning webinars into video tutorials, turning powerpoint presentations into slideshare presentations, turning slideshows into infographics, and turning blog posts into a book?

You can tap into that in a podcast, and if you’ve been blogging, launching a podcast isn’t so hard.
