One Show, Many Voices: Easy Ways to Repurpose Your Content
In 5 Key Formats
You don't need more content.
You need more from your content.
Whether it's a video podcast, a live stream, or a quick solo episode, one question always comes up for me:
How can I get more mileage out of this show?
Repurposing your show can expand your reach and build consistency across platforms. It saves you from having to start from scratch every day, and when you’re juggling everything yourself, it’s how you stay visible without running out of content or steam.
Here are five key repurposing categories, along with content ideas that will be easy to incorporate into your creation workflow.
Short-form Video Formats(Reels, Shorts, TikTok)
Edit your long-form videos down into shorter, high-impact videos. These are the scroll-stopping moments that grab attention and lead people back to your full episode.
A bold quote or insight from you or a guest (15–60 seconds)
"Did You Know" value hooks – quick tips that deliver immediate value
Behind-the-scenes moments — authentic reactions, laughter, or "oops" moments
Audio-based Content
If you're recording an audio-only podcast, you’re already set. Video-first creators can pull dynamic content from creating audio-only clips. Audio is an intimate experience for the listener, and easy to reuse in small, strategic ways.
Mini podcast highlight episode – a condensed, 3–5 minute version of your show
Audiogram clip – a soundbite with captions and a waveform for social media
Voiceover reel – overlay your voice on B-roll or background visuals
Scroll-Stopping Visuals
Some people read, some people watch, but everyone scrolls.
Visual content gives your ideas a second life in a more digestible, shareable format. It's a powerful way to reinforce your message and reach a wider audience.
Here are a few ways to turn your show's key moments into scroll-stopping visuals:
Quote graphic – a standout line from the episode turned into a word-only graphic
Carousel post – turn three key takeaways into swipeable slides
Problem/solution slide – pull transformation stories from your episode and make a mixed post with video and graphics within a Carousel post
Written Content
Written content gives your ideas staying power. It extends the life of an episode, boosts discoverability, and can help you connect with your audience in a different way. It's also one of the easiest ways to repurpose without re-recording — you're using what you've already said and reshaping it into something scrollable, savable, and shareable.
Substack or blog post – expand your episode's core idea with reflections, examples, and resources
Long-form Instagram caption – use the story to spark conversation
Newsletter summary – share 1–2 key insights and a link to read or watch the full post or episode
Interactive & Community-driven Content
Great content doesn't end with you. Take advantage of the opportunity to invite your audience to engage, reflect, and respond. Turning your episode into a conversation starter helps build momentum and makes your community feel included. Whether they're voting, reflecting, or sharing their stories, you don't need a large audience to create a strong connection.
Discussion prompts – pose a question based on your theme
Reflection questions – invite deeper thought or journaling for the audience to explore
Poll or survey – ask for opinions via Instagram Stories, Substack Notes, or LinkedIn
A Simple Repurposing Workflow
Creating consistent content doesn't have to mean starting from scratch every week. With one episode, you can pull out multiple pieces of content that keep your message active across platforms.
There are plenty of AI-powered tools (like Opus Clip, Quso.ai (formerly Vidyo.ai), and built-in features inside Descript) that can automatically find quotable moments and generate clips for you. But if you're not ready to invest in those, or if you prefer complete creative control, here's an old-school, low-tech way to do it manually.
This simple workflow takes less than 30 minutes and is easy to repeat on a weekly basis, helping you stay visible and consistent.
Pick your best episode from last month (5 minutes)
Choose one with strong engagement or a clear takeaway.
Listen for three quotable moments and mark timestamps (10 minutes)
Look for soundbites that can stand alone, offer value, or spark emotion.
Create one short video clip (10 minutes)
Use Descript, CapCut, or your favorite editor to clip and add captions.
Write one social post expanding on the main idea (5 minutes)
Share a short insight, story, or tip that complements the clip.
Bonus (optional): Create a quote graphic or poll (5 minutes)
Use Canva or your brand template to post a visual or audience prompt
Schedule your content
Use scheduling tools like Later or Planoly to release your posts.
Things to Think About
Repurposing doesn't have to be perfect, but a few common pitfalls can trip you up, especially when you're just getting started or managing multiple platforms.
1. Always add context
Short clips and quotes require a little setup. Whether it's a caption, headline, or voiceover. This helps your audience understand the value of the content immediately.
2. Match format to platform
Share the same message in different ways. LinkedIn wants insights. Instagram loves storytelling. TikTok craves energy. Speak the platform's language.
3. Don't cut randomly
Choose moments with a complete thought or natural pause. It makes your clip easier to follow, easier to edit, and more likely to interest your audience.
4. Repurposing doesn't mean repeating
You're not just copying and pasting. Use each format to highlight a different angle, takeaway, or tone. Deepen the idea instead of duplicating it.
5. Let go of perfectionism
Don't wait until every clip, post, or graphic is flawless. Momentum matters more. Share the content, learn from the responses, and then refine your system as you go.
Repurposing doesn't have to be overwhelming; it just requires intention. One episode, many messages, multiple formats. All aligned and purposeful.
