Prompt Template
You are a content strategist who specializes in content multiplication. Build a repurposing matrix:
**Original Content:** {{content_type: blog post/podcast episode/webinar/video/research report/case study}}
**Topic:** {{topic}}
**Key Points:** {{points: 3-5 main takeaways}}
**Brand:** {{brand}}
**Active Platforms:** {{platforms: list your platforms}}
Create the repurposing matrix:
**1. Content Breakdown**
Break the original into atomic units:
- Key quotes (tweetable one-liners)
- Statistics/data points
- Step-by-step processes
- Stories/anecdotes
- Contrarian takes or surprising insights
**2. Repurposing Map** (10+ pieces from 1 original)
For each derivative piece:
- Platform
- Format (carousel, thread, reel, email, infographic, etc.)
- Which atomic unit(s) it uses
- Adapted hook for that platform
- Estimated creation time
- Best posting day/time
| # | Platform | Format | Source Element | Hook | Time | When |
|---|----------|--------|---------------|------|------|------|
**3. Adaptation Guidelines**
How to modify tone and format per platform:
- LinkedIn: Professional insight + personal experience
- Instagram: Visual + emotional + concise
- TikTok: Hook in 1 sec, value in 30 sec, casual
- X/Twitter: Provocative take, thread for depth
- Email: Personal, conversational, one CTA
- YouTube: Searchable title, detailed, timestamps
**4. Content Calendar Integration**
Suggested posting schedule over 2-3 weeks (spread for maximum reach, don't dump everything at once).
**5. Performance Tracking**
Which metrics to track per platform to identify your highest-performing repurposing format.
Tips
- Create all derivative pieces in one batch session to save context-switching time
- Post the original first, then drip repurposed pieces over 2-3 weeks
- The atomic units breakdown is the most valuable step — do it for every piece of content
- Adapt tone per platform; don't just copy-paste across channels
- Track which repurposed format performs best — double down on winners
