Introduction


While high-quality content flow across channels may benefit in today's digital world, in fact, it is inevitable. But the catch: how do you churn out continuously engaging content in markets without infinitely catering to it? The solution is through smart repurposing and automation of that very same content.


The Foundation: Long-Form Content as Your Content Hub


The primary step in building an expandable content machine is creating valuable long-form content. This core content forms the foundation for all of your other content, whether it be an in-depth film, podcast, or live Q&A session.


Each piece of your long-form content has many rich pieces that can be extracted and improved for many platforms, so think of it as a resource. A sixty-minute podcast episode, for example, may be produced. For example, one 60-minute podcast episode may result in:


  • 10-15 short-form video clips (1-2 minutes each)

  • 20-30 quote images for social media

  • Multiple text-based posts

  • Several carousel posts for LinkedIn and Instagram

  • A comprehensive blog post
