1. Go to claude.ai and start a new conversation 2. Paste your entire blog post into the chat 3. Then add this prompt below it: "I want to repurpose this blog post into social media content. First, analyze it and extract: - The 1 main thesis or big idea (1 sentence) - 5-7 standalone insights that would make good social posts (each should make sense without reading the full post) - Any specific numbers, stats, or results mentioned - The 2-3 most quotable or provocative sentences - The core transformation or benefit for the reader (before โ†’ after) Format each insight as a standalone statement that could hook someone scrolling." 4. Review the extracted points โ€” star the 5 strongest ones, these will become your content pieces

You have 5-7 standalone insights that each make sense on their own, plus quotable sentences and the core transformation. Each insight could start a conversation without the reader needing the full blog post.
If the insights are too generic (like "Marketing is important"), your blog post may need more specific takeaways. Tell Claude: "These are too vague. Pull out the most specific, surprising, or counterintuitive points. Focus on the 'I didn't know that' moments."

Generate a Twitter/X thread and LinkedIn post

Turn your best insights into a threaded Twitter post and a LinkedIn narrative post.

1. In the same Claude conversation, paste this prompt: "Using the insights you extracted, create these two pieces: Twitter/X Thread (7-10 tweets): - Tweet 1: Hook that makes people stop scrolling. Start with a bold claim, surprising stat, or contrarian take. No hashtags on the hook tweet. - Tweets 2-8: One key insight per tweet. Each tweet should be under 280 characters. Use line breaks for readability. Include one specific example or number per tweet. - Tweet 9: Summary or 'TL;DR' tweet - Tweet 10: CTA โ€” ask a question or link to the full post - Add 'Thread ๐Ÿงต' to the end of tweet 1 LinkedIn Post (150-200 words): - Open with a 1-line hook (personal story, bold statement, or counterintuitive take) - Use short paragraphs (1-2 sentences each) - Include 2-3 line breaks between paragraphs for mobile readability - End with a question to encourage comments - Add 3-5 relevant hashtags at the very end - Tone: professional but human, like you're talking to a smart colleague" 2. Review both pieces โ€” make sure the hook tweets/opening lines would make YOU stop scrolling

Your Twitter thread has a scroll-stopping first tweet, each tweet stands alone, and the thread tells a coherent story. Your LinkedIn post opens with a hook, uses short paragraphs with spacing, and ends with an engaging question.
If the thread reads like a chopped-up blog post, tell Claude: "Each tweet needs to deliver value on its own. Rewrite so someone could like and retweet any individual tweet without needing context from the rest of the thread."

Create an Instagram caption and email snippet

Adapt the content for Instagram's visual-first format and for an email newsletter teaser.

1. In the same Claude conversation, paste this prompt: "Now create two more pieces from the same blog content: Instagram Caption (for a carousel or single image post): - First line: Hook that creates curiosity (this shows in the preview before 'more') - Body: 3-5 short tips or insights, using emojis as bullet points - End with a CTA: 'Save this for later' or 'Share with someone who needs this' - Add a line break, then 15-20 relevant hashtags (mix of broad and niche) - Total length: 100-150 words (before hashtags) - Tone: casual, friendly, like a DM to a friend Email Newsletter Snippet (50-100 words): - Subject line: Create 3 options โ€” one curiosity-based, one benefit-based, one number-based - Preview text: 1 sentence that complements (not repeats) the subject line - Body: 2-3 sentences that tease the blog post's main insight without giving everything away - CTA: 'Read the full post โ†’' with a note to insert the blog link - Tone: personal and direct, like writing to one person" 2. Review the Instagram caption โ€” make sure the first line hooks before the "... more" cutoff (roughly 125 characters)

Your Instagram caption has a curiosity-driven first line under 125 characters, uses emoji bullets, and ends with a save/share CTA. Your email snippet has 3 subject line options and teases without spoiling the full post.
If the Instagram caption is too long or reads like LinkedIn, tell Claude: "Make it more casual โ€” like someone sharing a tip with their followers on Stories. Cut the word count to under 100 words before hashtags." If email subject lines are bland, say: "Make the subject lines more specific. Use a number, a name, or a surprising detail."

Write a short-form video script for Reels or TikTok

Turn your strongest insight into a 60-second talking-head or voiceover video script.

1. In the same Claude conversation, paste this prompt: "Finally, create a short-form video script (45-60 seconds when spoken aloud): Format: Talking head or voiceover with text overlays Structure: - Hook (first 3 seconds): A bold statement or question that stops the scroll. This is the most important part. - Problem (5 seconds): Briefly name the pain point your audience feels - Solution/Insight (25-30 seconds): Share the core takeaway from the blog in 3-4 short, punchy sentences. Use conversational language โ€” write how you talk, not how you write. - Proof (10 seconds): One specific example, number, or result - CTA (5 seconds): Tell them what to do โ€” follow for more, link in bio, comment their answer Rules: - Every sentence should be under 15 words - No jargon, no filler words - Include [TEXT OVERLAY] notes for key phrases to display on screen - Write it so it sounds natural when read aloud" 2. Read the script out loud โ€” if any sentence feels awkward to say, rewrite it 3. Note the [TEXT OVERLAY] suggestions for when you record

Your script is 45-60 seconds when read aloud at a natural pace, opens with a 3-second hook, and every sentence is short enough to say in one breath. The text overlay notes give you clear guidance for on-screen text.
If the script sounds like a blog post being read aloud, tell Claude: "This sounds too written. Rewrite it like I'm telling a friend about this over coffee. Use incomplete sentences, rhetorical questions, and casual transitions like 'Here's the thing' or 'And honestly.'"

All done!

You now have: One blog post turned into a Twitter thread, LinkedIn post, Instagram caption, email snippet, and short-form video script
