Hey there! 👋
Here's a scenario I see all the time: a creator spends four hours writing a newsletter. It gets great engagement, people reply saying it helped them, and then... they move on to the next thing.
Four hours of work. One platform. One moment in time.
Meanwhile, that same creator is stressing about not having enough time to create content everywhere else.
The irony? The content already exists. It just never got a second life.
The One Idea, Many Platforms System
Every piece of content you create has the potential to live in multiple places without making you want to throw your laptop out the window. Here's how to think about it:
Start with your hero content

Pick your primary platform where you do your best work. Maybe it's your newsletter, a podcast, YouTube, or long-form LinkedIn posts. Create one solid piece of content here first. This is your foundation, everything else builds from it.
Then break it apart

From that one piece, you can create:
A long-form post (LinkedIn, Substack Notes, etc.) - Take the main framework and turn it into a structured 300-word post. Same core message, slightly different angle for the audience
A thread - Pull out 5-7 key points and turn them into a Twitter/X or Threads post where each point tells part of the story
A visual carousel - Design 5 slides with the main takeaways. One concept per slide, minimal text, make it scroll-worthy
A short video script - Talk through the concept in 60-90 seconds. The original piece basically gives you the script already
A community conversation starter - Share the personal story behind the piece and ask people about their own experiences. More casual, more vulnerable
The time math
Giphy
Creating the original piece: 2-3 hours Repurposing into additional formats: 1-2 hours Total: 3-5 hours for multiple pieces of content across platforms
Without repurposing: 3-5 hours per platform
Not every idea needs to go everywhere. Some content works better in certain formats. But having a repurposing system means you're choosing strategically instead of staring at a blank screen wondering what to post.
The bottleneck for most creators isn't actually a lack of ideas. It's a lack of distribution. You're probably already creating more than enough, you're just not getting enough mileage out of it.
Your best content deserves more than one audience, one platform, and one moment in time.
Reply and let me know - what's one piece of content you've created that you never repurposed but probably should have? 👇

& now a word from our sponsor, a tool I use everyday and as part of my main content framework (Granola > AI > Ideas)
Stop forgetting what you agreed to
You know that feeling when you leave a meeting and immediately forget half of what you promised?
That’s not a memory problem. It’s a meetings problem.
Granola helps you become the person who actually follows through. Take quick notes during the call; nothing formal. Granola transcribes in the background and turns those notes into clear summaries with real next steps.
After the call, share notes with the team so everyone’s aligned. Or chat with them to pull out exactly what needs to happen next.
No more dropped balls. Just clarity and follow-through.
& that’s all folks!
