How to Repurpose Without Repeating

Let’s clear this up:
Repurposing doesn’t mean reposting the same thing over and over.

It means taking one strong idea and reshaping it so it feels fresh across different platforms - and to different people.

You don’t need 20 ideas a week. You need one idea, shown 5 smart ways.

Here’s how I help clients (and myself) do it without sounding like a broken record.

✅ Step 1: Start With a Core Message

Pick one strong piece of content that worked well:

• A carousel that got lots of saves

• A Reel with high watch time

• A caption that sparked DMs

That’s your “pillar” for the week.

✅ Step 2: Shift the Format, Not the Message

Say your original post was a list of tips. You can now:

• Turn it into a Reel showing the same tips visually

• Create a Story series asking followers to vote on each tip

• Post a quote graphic pulling one key line from the list

• Expand it into a blog or long-form caption with context

• Start a thread (on LinkedIn or X) diving into each point

Same idea. Different entry points. No repetition.

✅ Step 3: Reframe for a Different Audience Angle

Change the lens, not the topic:

• Original: “How to stay consistent on social”

• New takes:

  • “What I tell overwhelmed clients about staying consistent”

  • “The advice that finally helped me stop ghosting my account”

  • “3 myths about consistency I wish I’d known earlier”

Now your audience hears the same message in a new way - and that’s what builds trust.

✅ Step 4: Match the Platform’s Energy

Don’t treat all platforms the same. Here’s how I shift tone:

• Instagram → Visual, quick, friendly

• LinkedIn → Strategic, insight-focused, story-led

• Facebook → Relatable, casual, conversational

• Pinterest → Informative and keyword-rich

• TikTok → Fast-paced, hook-heavy, personality-forward

You're not copying - you're translating.
