The Art of Content Repurposing

Creating fresh content constantly is exhausting and unnecessary. MyPosts helps you identify, transform, and reschedule your best content for maximum impact with minimal effort.

Identifying Repurposing Candidates

High-Performance Content

Look for posts with:

  • Above-average engagement
  • Timeless value (evergreen)
  • Educational content
  • Popular resources
  • Viral potential

Content Age Guidelines

  • 30 days: Too recent
  • 60-90 days: Slight modifications
  • 90+ days: Full repurpose potential
  • 6+ months: Direct repost possible
  • 1+ year: Historical comparison

Repurposing Techniques

The Variation Method

Original: "5 productivity tips that changed my life"

Variations:

  • "My top 5 productivity game-changers"
  • "Why these 5 habits 10x'd my output"
  • "Productivity secrets I wish I knew earlier"
  • "The productivity system that actually works"

Format Transformation

Single Post → Thread Expand successful tweets into detailed threads

Thread → Single Posts Extract key points as standalone tweets

List → Individual Tips Break down lists into daily tips

Stats → Visual Comparisons Update numbers and create comparisons

Content Lifecycle Management

The 90-Day Cycle

  1. Day 1-30: Original posting
