If you’re constantly making new content but still not growing, you might be creating too much and repurposing too little.
The 80/20 rule—also known as the Pareto Principle—applies perfectly to content: 80% of your results come from 20% of your content.
💡 The Strategy
Instead of pushing out fresh content every day, find your top-performing content—the 20%—and make it work harder across platforms.
Let’s say you made a killer YouTube video that got good engagement. Here’s how to repurpose it without resizing or re-editing:
✅ Step-by-Step Repurposing:
Select a Strong Original Video
Look for high-performing YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram videos.Generate Platform-Specific Metadata
Write a new title for Instagram Reels
Draft a different description for LinkedIn
Add fresh tags for TikTok
Update the Thumbnail
Use a new image to fit the vibe of the new platform—even if the video itself stays the same.Smart Scheduling
Don’t post all versions at once. Stagger your uploads for better visibility.
🔧 Tool Tip:
A platform like GoPost makes this entire process faster—by letting you migrate content between platforms, generate new metadata and thumbnails, and schedule your posts smartly.
Final Thought:
You don’t need to create more. You just need to repurpose what works—strategically.
