Repurposing is not copying and pasting.
Repurposing is taking the core idea from your hub content and expressing it in ways that are native to each channel – different format, different angle, different length, but the same underlying thinking.
The repurposing playbook
From a podcast episode:
- Pull the strongest 60-second clip – post as a Reel or LinkedIn video
- Pull a key quote – turn into a graphic for Instagram or LinkedIn
- Write a LinkedIn post summarising the key insight
- Write an email to your list with your reflection on the conversation
- Turn the transcript into a blog post
From a long-form blog post:
- Turn each main section into a standalone social post
- Pull statistics or surprising facts for quote graphics
- Record yourself reading the intro as a LinkedIn video
- Email it to your list with a personal intro
From a webinar:
- Clip the best 3-5 moments for social video
- Write a recap post with the key takeaways
- Turn the Q&A into a FAQ content piece
- Email the recording to your list
The repurposing calendar
Build repurposing into your production schedule – not as an afterthought, but as part of the plan. When you create a hero piece, immediately schedule the atoms.
Exercise
Take your chosen hero content format and map out a complete repurposing plan for your first hero piece. What are all the atoms? Which channels do they go to? When?
