Ever feel like you're constantly scrambling for content ideas? You're not alone. The average creator spends 3-5 hours daily just brainstorming what to post. Here's the secret successful creators know: one great piece of content can become ten.

Why Repurposing Works

Your audience is scattered across different platforms, consuming content at different times. That one blog post or YouTube video? It's only reaching a fraction of potential followers. Repurposing lets you:

  • Save 70% of your creation time
  • Reach 3x more people
  • Test what works before investing in new content

The 30-Minute Repurposing Framework

1. Start With One Core Piece

Choose your anchor: a blog post, video, podcast episode, or even a successful post that performed well.

2. Extract Micro-Content (10 minutes)

From one piece, create:

  • 3-5 quotes - Pull key phrases, add text overlays
  • 1 infographic - Combine stats or steps into one visual
  • 2-3 short clips - For Reels, TikTok, Shorts

3. Platform-Specific Adaptation (10 minutes)

Same content, different formats:

| Platform | Best Format | Quick Tip | |----------|--------------|------------| | Instagram | Carousel | 5-7 slides, one idea per slide | | LinkedIn | Text post | Add a personal takeaway | | TikTok | Voiceover + text | Hook in first 2 seconds | | Twitter/X | Thread | 5-7 tweets, each adding value |

4. Batch Your Work (10 minutes)

Set aside 30 minutes weekly to:

  • Identify your top-performing content
  • Extract 3-5 repurposable elements
  • Create templates for quick edits
