If the content doesn&#8217;t fit one of those three structures, an infographic will feel forced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The test for whether a blog post can become an infographic is whether the content has a shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A numbered list has a shape. It becomes a vertical checklist or a step-by-step flow.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A comparison section can become a side-by-side table.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A post with three distinct causes and three distinct effects can be turned into a cause-and-effect diagram.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What doesn&#8217;t work is a post built around narrative reasoning or a nuanced argument. For such posts, a podcast or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/vertical-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> would be a better medium for repurposing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Workflow: <\/strong>Scan the blog for anything that exists as a list, step sequence, or standalone stat.&nbsp;<br><br>If four or more items from the post can be shown in a single image, a reader understands in under 90 seconds, build the infographic.

The infographic and video fall out of the structure that&#8217;s already there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the podcast for last \u2014 it&#8217;s the most work, but it reaches people the other four might miss, since no two channels pull exactly the same audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Done well, a single post stops being a thing you published and becomes a thing you mine. The next article you write isn&#8217;t one piece of content.
