One long-form asset → 20+ derivative pieces.
A free planner that maps one long-form content asset (podcast, video, blog post, webinar) onto 20+ derivative pieces across 8 distribution surfaces. Each derivative is scored on effort (1-5) and reach potential (1-5) so creators can pick the highest-ROI repurposes first.
Pick source type (podcast / long video / blog post / webinar) + length. The matrix outputs 20+ derivative asset suggestions across 8 surfaces with effort score (1-5) and reach potential (1-5) per asset.

Who this is for
Solo creators and agencies who publish one big piece but don't systematically repurpose into the 20+ derivative formats it could fuel.
The problem this solves
Repurposing strategy is usually ad-hoc: "I'll post a clip on TikTok." But one 60-minute podcast can fuel 25+ assets: 8 shorts, 3 carousels, 2 X threads, 1 LinkedIn essay, 1 newsletter, 3 blog post angles, 5 quote graphics. The matrix shows the full surface area.
A single 60-minute podcast can fuel approximately 25 distinct derivative assets across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, LinkedIn, newsletter, blog, and YouTube — yet most creators publish only the long-form, losing ~95% of potential reach.

Frequently asked
What does "repurposing" actually mean?
Taking one piece of content and adapting it into multiple formats for different platforms — not just cross-posting the same clip everywhere. A 60-min podcast becomes 8 shorts, 3 carousels, 2 threads, 1 essay, 1 newsletter, etc.
How many platforms should I repurpose to?
Start with 3-4 platforms where your audience already lives. Adding the 5th and 6th platform typically halves your per-platform consistency. Better to be excellent on 4 than mediocre on 8.
What's a realistic repurposing cadence for a solo creator?
One source asset per week → 8-12 derivatives per week across 3-4 platforms. Anything more without automation leads to burnout within 8-12 weeks.
Should every derivative be unique or can I cross-post?
Cross-post the same clip across short-form platforms (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) with minor caption tweaks. But text-first platforms (X, LinkedIn, newsletter) need format-native rewrites — the same words underperform.
How does this differ from a content calendar?
A calendar tells you what to post and when. The matrix tells you what derivatives a given source asset could fuel. Use the matrix to populate the calendar.
