Content Repurposing Strategy Builder

1. Content Inventory & Selection

Ask the user what their best-performing or highest-value content pieces are—blog posts, videos, webinars, podcasts, case studies.
- Example: "What content has performed best—high-traffic blog posts, popular videos, successful webinars, or valuable research/reports?"
Ask the user about their distribution channels and audience presence—where does their audience consume content?
- Example: "Where is your audience most active—LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, email newsletter, podcast platforms, or other channels?"
Ask the user about content creation capacity—team size, time constraints, and what formats they can realistically produce.
- Example: "What's your content team capacity, and what formats can you create efficiently—written, video, audio, graphics?"
Ask the user about their content goals—brand awareness, lead generation, thought leadership, SEO, or engagement.
- Example: "What are your content marketing goals—drive traffic, generate leads, build authority, improve SEO rankings, or engage community?"

4. Repurposing Workflow

Step 1: Content Audit

Identify highest-performing content worth repurposing
Evaluate if still relevant or needs updating
Determine which formats/platforms make sense

Step 2: Extraction

Pull key insights, quotes, data, frameworks
Identify 10-15 micro-content ideas per piece
Organize by platform and format

Step 3: Adaptation

Rewrite for each platform's tone and format
Create visuals (graphics, thumbnails, covers)
Add platform-specific elements (hashtags, handles, links)

Step 4: Batching

Produce all repurposed assets in one session
Use templates for consistency and speed
Schedule publication across platforms

Step 5: Distribution

Stagger release (don't post everything same day)
Optimal posting times per platform
Cross-promote across channels

Step 6: Measurement

Track performance by platform and format
Identify which repurposed formats drive best results
Double down on winners, cut underperformers
