♻️ how to repurpose any piece of content

Apr 12, 2025 12:16 pm

Hey friend,


I used to think repurposing a blog was completely different than repurposing a podcast or a webinar.


But, turns out, it’s not.


Once you understand how to break down the core parts of any piece of content (whether it’s written, audio, or video) you can remix it across any platform you want.


The format might change, but the system stays the same.


Here’s the play:


Let’s say you’ve got a blog post. (This works with videos and podcasts, too.)


Step one is to find the best parts:


  • The big ideas
  • The one-liners, data, or quotes
  • The stories or examples that give it life


From there, you’ve got everything you need to start repurposing.


On LinkedIn? Turn each key idea into a swipeable carousel. You don’t need a 30-slide design masterpiece. You just need 4–5 slides with a strong hook and a simple explanation. And there are dozens of tools out there to help you make a great-looking carousel.


Bonus: those same one-liners you pulled? They make great standalone posts, too.


Have an email list? You can create a quick 3-part series: Start with “why [this topic matters],” move into actionable advice, and close with common mistakes.


Or keep it simple. Send a single tip with a short story behind it. One insight and one takeaway. That’s enough to be valuable.


On YouTube or TikTok? Record yourself (or a team member) breaking down one of the tips. Nothing fancy. A 60-second explainer works wonders. Then you can post that across Shorts, Reels, and more.


You don’t need to create more. You just need to multiply what you’ve already got.
