How Do I Repurpose Content Across Platforms?

Let’s say it loud for the business owners in the back:

You do not need to create new content for every platform.

If you’re creating from scratch for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and your blog — you’ll burn out fast.

But if you know how to repurpose smartly?
You can show up everywhere with way less effort.

Here’s how we help clients in Windsor, Hamilton, Detroit, and Toronto stretch one idea into weeks of content — without sounding repetitive.

Step 1: Start With a Strong Core Idea

Choose a single content idea based on your strategy.
Example:

• A tip your audience always asks about

• A myth you want to bust

• A recent client result

• A personal story that ties into your brand

From there, you can create multiple formats — without reinventing anything.

Step 2: Turn One Post Into Many

Let’s take one Instagram carousel and repurpose it:

• Reel: Turn the headline or key tip into a talking-head video

• Story: Break down the idea and ask for audience opinions

• LinkedIn Post: Rewrite it as a short-form thought leadership post

• Facebook Post: Copy and paste the caption (or simplify it)

• Blog Post: Expand the idea into a 500–700 word article

• Email: Use it as the hook for a newsletter

• Pinterest: Turn the carousel into a graphic pin

Same idea → different formats = more reach, less effort.

Step 3: Adjust the Tone + Format Slightly for Each Platform

You don’t need to completely rewrite — but do adapt:

• Instagram: Visual + concise, hook-heavy

• LinkedIn: More thoughtful, professional tone

• Facebook: Casual, community-focused

• TikTok: Video-first with captions or storytelling

• Stories: Raw, conversational, poll-friendly

Step 4: Space It Out

You don’t need to post all formats at once.

Use your content calendar to spread them over 1–3 weeks.
Your audience won’t notice — they’ll remember your message better through repetition.

Especially in smaller markets like Windsor and Hamilton, repetition builds familiarity and trust.
