Repurpose One Recording into Five Posts (Without Feeling Salesy)
If hitting “publish” feels like shouting into the void, you might be under-using the content you already have. The fastest way to stay consistent (without living in your editor) is to repurpose one recording into multiple, platform-ready posts—with intention, not spam.
Below is a simple system you can reuse every week for YouTube videos, podcasts, Zoom talks, client interviews, course lessons, or even a heartfelt family story.
Step 0: Pick the “Core”
Choose one finished piece (or a strong rough cut): a 5–15 min video, a podcast episode, an interview, a screen recording, or a keepsake story. Identify one promise or key takeaway. Everything below points back to that.
1) 60-Second Reel/Short: “The Big Idea”
What it is: A tight 30–60s clip that lands one insight or transformation.
How: Choose the most emotionally clear moment. Add captions. End with a micro-CTA: “Full video on the blog,” “New episode live,” or “Email me to finish your edit.”
Where: IG Reels, TikTok, YT Shorts, FB Reels.
2) Quote Graphic: “One line worth saving”
What it is: A single sentence that captures the episode’s heart.
How: Pull the line, place it on brand colors, add your circle logo, and a small footer: “New on the blog.”
Where: IG/FB feed, LinkedIn image post, Pinterest pin.
3) Carousel/Slider: “3–5 takeaways in order”
What it is: A mini-lesson broken into slides: Hook → 3 points → CTA.
How: Use plain language, 10–30 words per slide, and one practical how-to per point. Final slide: “Read the full post” with your URL or “Link in bio.”
Where: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn.
4) Audiogram (or Waveform Clip): “Voice + subtitles = trust”
What it is: A 15–45s audio snippet with waveform + captions.
How: Pick a moment with clear emotion or a bold claim. Add a title card and your logo.
Where: IG/FB/Twitter/X, LinkedIn.
5) Blog Summary → Email/Beacons blurb
What it is: A 120–180 word “reader’s digest” version that links back to the full piece.
How: Lead with the problem, share one quick win, then link: “Read the full post.”
Where: Your blog intro, Beacons “Today’s Blog,” email list, Facebook Notes/LinkedIn.
“But won’t this feel salesy?”
Not if each piece stands on its own. Give a real tip or a moment of clarity in every asset, then invite (don’t pressure) people to go deeper. The value earns the click.
