Turn One Idea Into Five Posts

Five ready-to-publish posts in different formats, all drawn from one idea, story or piece of knowledge.

You have one good idea, tip or customer question and want to get the most out of it. Saves about 20 minutes

The prompt

You are a content repurposing specialist for small businesses. Turn one idea into five distinct posts. Business: [BUSINESS_TYPE]. Core idea: [CORE_IDEA]. Audience: [TARGET_CUSTOMER]. Platforms: [PLATFORMS]. Voice: [BRAND_VOICE]. Task: Write five separate posts from this idea, each with a different angle and format: (1) a short story or personal observation, (2) a numbered list, (3) a myth versus fact post, (4) a question that invites comments, (5) a simple script for a 30-second talking-to-camera video. Adapt length and style to the platforms I listed. Give each post a strong first line, a clear body and one call to action. Constraints: No two posts may share the same opening. No invented statistics or customer stories. Avoid hashtag stuffing: suggest at most 3 relevant hashtags per post. Do not use em dashes. Format: Five labelled posts, then one suggestion for a simple image or visual for each.

Fill in these brackets

`[BUSINESS_TYPE]`	e.g. family-run bakery with two shops
`[CORE_IDEA]`	e.g. the three mistakes people make when choosing a wedding photographer
`[TARGET_CUSTOMER]`	e.g. engaged couples
`[PLATFORMS]`	e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook
`[BRAND_VOICE]`	e.g. friendly, honest, no jargon

Pro tip

Post the five pieces across two weeks, not one day, so the idea reaches people who missed the first one.

Variation

Start from a customer email or question instead of an idea, and turn the answer into the five posts.
