As GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts tweeted about the announcement, this is a "big gift for her fans," which left them "SHAKING."
From a business perspective, quite a few brilliant moves are being made here. Besides the obvious fact that it'll see a bajillion copies, Swift is using the advice that content creators have been giving on BIZ Experiences.com for years and years: She's essentially repurposing content that already exists.
"Repurposing content means taking existing content and transforming it into different formats to reach a broader audience," communications specialist Kelly Fletcher wrote for BIZ Experiences.com. She discussed a number of ways that we mere mortals can reuse and reshape content to keep it working for us. Some of those tips include:
Turn articles into social media posts: Take key points or quotes from an article or a blog post and convert them into posts you can share on social media.
Turn written content into videos: Use an edited version of your blog post as a script. Use simple animation to bring it to life.
Turn webinars or talks into written content and vice versa: If you have recorded a webinar or given a speech, repurpose the speech into written content. Or you can also turn something you've written into a webinar or workshop.
