repurposing
Create original content strategically; maximise its value through systematic repurposing.
Adapt messaging to each platform rather than reposting identically. Platform-native content performs better.
Space repurposed content strategically; don't flood followers with the same message on multiple platforms simultaneously.
Track which repurposed content performs best. Double down on high-performing adaptations.
Update and refresh old content periodically; repurposing evergreen content keeps it visible and driving value.
Why This Matters
Creating original content constantly is exhausting. Smart creators repurpose existing content across multiple platforms and formats. AI accelerates this process, transforming long-form videos into shorts, blog posts into newsletters, podcasts into social clips. This guide teaches strategic content repurposing.
How to Do It
1
A single YouTube video becomes clips, blog posts, LinkedIn articles, infographics, podcast episodes, and social media posts. AI helps identify repurposing opportunities and execute them efficiently.
2
AI identifies key insights, quotes, and takeaways from your content. These become the foundation for repurposed pieces across different formats.
3
Each platform has different norms: YouTube is long-form, TikTok is short, LinkedIn is professional, Twitter is conversational. AI helps adapt the same core message to platform norms.
4
Transform video into text (transcripts, blog posts), text into audio (narrated guides), audio into video (add captions and visualisers). AI handles format conversions.
5
AI helps you schedule repurposed content strategically. Space posts to maximise reach without looking spammy.
Prompts to Try
I created a 20-minute YouTube video about [TOPIC]. Help me repurpose it: extract 10 short clips (30-60 seconds), generate a blog post outline, create 5 Twitter post ideas, and write a LinkedIn article.
Turn this podcast transcript into: a blog post, 5 Instagram carousel posts, 10 tweet ideas, and a newsletter essay. Ensure each is optimised for its platform.
Generate a content repurposing calendar. I create one [CONTENT_TYPE] per month about [TOPIC]. Show me how to turn each piece into 15+ pieces of content across platforms.
