Here's how I use Attio to run my day.
Attio's AI handles my morning prep — surfacing insights from calls, updating records without manual entry, and answering pipeline questions in seconds. No searching, no switching tabs, no manual updates.
Here’s a math problem for you.
You spend three hours writing a newsletter edition. It goes out to your list. Some people read it. Some don’t. Then it’s done.
Three hours of work. One distribution channel. One shot.
Now run the same math a different way: you spend three hours writing that same edition, then run it through an AI repurposing system that adapts it into a LinkedIn post, five Twitter/X posts, an Instagram carousel outline, a short-form video script, a podcast talking points doc, a FAQ page section, two email subject line options, a client case study angle, a slide deck outline, a lead magnet page, and a quote graphic.
Same three hours of original work. Twelve places it lives. Twelve more chances to reach someone who needs what you know.
That’s the game. Let me show you how to play it.
Why Most Repurposing Falls Flat
The common mistake is treating repurposing as copy-pasting. You take a paragraph from your newsletter and drop it into LinkedIn. It reads like a newsletter paragraph dropped into LinkedIn, because that’s exactly what it is.
Great repurposing isn’t copying. It’s translating. Each platform has its own grammar, its own reader expectations, its own format. A LinkedIn post is not a newsletter excerpt. A Twitter thread is not a bulleted list of your main points. A video script is not an article read out loud.
AI handles this translation beautifully when you prompt it correctly. The key is telling it what platform you’re targeting and what the native format looks like, not just asking it to “make a social post.”
The Repurposing Engine: Step by Step
Step 1: Identify Your Source Content
Not every piece is worth repurposing. The signal I look for is one of three things: the content performed well, the topic is foundational to what I do, or it answers a question I get asked repeatedly. If a piece hits any of those three, it goes in the repurposing queue.
Step 2: Create the Master Brief
Paste your content into Claude along with this prompt:
“Read this content carefully. Then give me: the central insight in one sentence, the three most quotable or shareable lines, the core audience problem this addresses, and the primary action or takeaway. Format this as a brief I’ll use to guide repurposing.”
Save the output. This is your repurposing brief. Every derivative piece will reference it.
Step 3: Run the Platform-Specific Prompts
Here are the exact prompts I use for each format. Paste your Master Brief plus the original content, then run each prompt separately.
LinkedIn Post:
“Write a LinkedIn post in a direct, first-person voice. Open with a single sentence that creates a pattern interrupt. Develop the core insight in three to five short paragraphs. End with a question that invites comments. No hashtag spam. No corporate language. Target 200 to 250 words.”
Twitter/X Thread:
“Write a 7-tweet thread. Tweet 1 should be the hook that makes people want to read on. Tweets 2 through 6 should each deliver one clear point. Tweet 7 should be the CTA or summary. Keep each tweet under 260 characters. Number them 1/7, 2/7, etc.”
Instagram Carousel:
“Create an outline for a 7-slide Instagram carousel. Slide 1 is the hook (headline only). Slides 2 through 6 each cover one key point with a headline and two to three supporting sentences. Slide 7 is the CTA slide. Keep the language visual and punchy.”
Short-Form Video Script:
“Write a 60-second video script. Open with a hook that speaks directly to the viewer in under 5 seconds. Deliver the core value in plain, conversational language. End with one specific action. Mark it with [HOOK], [CONTENT], [CTA] sections.”
Email Subject Line Options:
“Generate 8 email subject line options. Include: 2 curiosity-driven, 2 direct benefit, 2 story-based, and 2 contrarian or unexpected angles. Keep all under 50 characters. Do not use emoji.”
That’s five formats done in about 15 minutes. With your brief already built, the prompt running goes fast.
The Formats That Most People Miss
Podcast Talking Points
Take your strongest newsletter edition and create a talking points document that structures it as a 20-minute podcast episode. Each major section becomes a segment. Add three follow-up talking points under each one and you’ve got an outline that anyone can record in an afternoon.
“Create a 20-minute podcast talking points document from this content. Organize it as: intro hook (60 seconds), three main segments with three sub-points each, and a closing action item. Include transition phrases between segments.”
Lead Magnet Section
Any piece that performs well can become or inform a lead magnet. If your newsletter covered a five-step process, that’s halfway to a one-pager someone would trade their email for.
“Reframe this content as a one-page PDF guide that could serve as a lead magnet. Create a punchy title, an intro paragraph, the core framework with numbered steps, and a closing CTA. Target 400 to 500 words in a format that would look good designed.”
Scheduling It All With Buffer
I use Buffer to queue and schedule everything across platforms. Once my repurposing prompts have run and I’ve done a quick edit pass, I paste the posts directly into Buffer and set my preferred posting schedule. The whole process, from repurposing prompts to scheduled queue, runs in under 45 minutes for a full week of content across three or four platforms.
Buffer’s free plan is solid. Their Essentials plan at $6/month covers most small business needs. If you’re running content across multiple accounts, the paid tier is worth it without question.
Building This Into a Weekly Habit
Every Friday, I review the week’s content. I pick the one or two pieces that performed best or covered topics I want to amplify. Those go into the repurposing queue for the following week.
Monday morning, I run the repurposing prompts. Tuesday, I do the edit pass and schedule everything in Buffer. By Wednesday, content is rolling out across platforms on autopilot while I’m already working on the next newsletter edition.
Write, review, repurpose, schedule, repeat. That rhythm is what turns a newsletter into a content ecosystem that touches your audience everywhere they spend time.
The full prompt library for repurposing, the Master Brief template, and the Make.com automation I use to run parts of this workflow are all inside the AI Workflow Blueprint. Reply with the word BLUEPRINT for the details. $47 gets you the whole thing.
