How to Repurpose One Piece of Content into 5 Different Marketing Assets

Ashley Shipley

Creating content can feel like a full-time job — but it doesn’t have to.
The secret? Stop starting from scratch every time.

By repurposing a single piece of content into multiple formats, you can show up everywhere your audience hangs out without burning yourself out.

Here’s how to turn one core idea into five different marketing assets you can use to grow your digital product business.

Step 1: Start with a Core Content Piece

Your “core” content could be:

  • A blog post
  • A podcast episode
  • A video
  • A workshop or live training

Pick a format you enjoy creating, because that’s where the magic starts.

Pro Tip: Choose a topic that directly ties into your product or a freebie you offer — so it naturally leads people deeper into your funnel.

Step 2: Pull Out Short-Form Social Posts

Take key quotes, tips, or statistics from your core content and turn them into:

  • Instagram carousels
  • Short videos/Reels
  • LinkedIn posts
  • Facebook updates

You don’t need to write new material — you’re just highlighting the best parts.

Step 3: Turn It Into an Email

Your email subscribers often won’t see your social posts — so deliver your content straight to their inbox.
Write a short intro, share the main takeaways, and link to the full version.

This keeps your list engaged and drives traffic back to your main content hub.

Step 4: Create a Visual Asset

Not everyone learns best through reading. Turn your content into:

  • An infographic
  • A step-by-step checklist
  • A mini-guide

These visual assets can be shared on Pinterest, LinkedIn, or inside your freebie library to attract new subscribers.

Step 5: Record a Quick Video or Audio Snippet

Some people will never read your blog — but they’ll happily watch a 2-minute video or listen to a short audio clip.

Record a quick “highlight reel” of your content and post it to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram, or your podcast feed.

 

When you master the art of repurposing, your marketing works harder for you — and you spend less time creating from scratch.

Start with one strong content piece, and let it live multiple lives across your platforms.
Your future self (and your audience) will thank you,
