If you’re like most business owners, you’ve probably felt the pressure of constantly creating new content. The endless cycle of posting, filming, writing captions, and sending emails can leave you feeling burned out and overwhelmed. But what if there was a better way? What if instead of constantly chasing new content, you could maximize the impact of what you’ve already created?
This revolutionary approach to content creation is called repurposing, and it’s changing the game for busy entrepreneurs, especially moms building businesses. The fundamental principle is simple yet powerful: you don’t need more content—you need to do more with what you’ve already created. This mindset shift alone can transform your content strategy and reclaim hours of your precious time each week. When you repurpose effectively, you’re taking one core idea and transforming it into multiple pieces of content, each customized for a different platform or audience. The beauty of this approach is that you’re working smarter, not harder, and reaching new people without having to reinvent the wheel every single day.
The process begins with creating what I call your “core content”—this could be a podcast episode, a blog post, a YouTube video, or even a live training. This becomes your content foundation for the week or even the month. From there, you extract key ideas and transform them into platform-specific content pieces. For example, from a single 10-minute podcast on starting a virtual assistant business, you could create an Instagram carousel highlighting the main points, a short video teaser for TikTok or Reels, quote graphics for Pinterest or Instagram stories, an email with a personal angle, a LinkedIn article expanding on the topic, and much more. Suddenly, one piece of content becomes a full week of visibility with minimal extra effort.
One of my favorite repurposing strategies is what I call the “Domino Blueprint.” Here’s how it works: you select one topic aligned with your offer or message and record a casual 10-15 minute video about it. Then, you slice that video into five short-form clips, add two quotes, one graphic, and craft one email—all from the same source material. Just like that, you’ve created ten pieces of content from a single video. And if you’re struggling with how to segment your content effectively, AI tools can help you analyze transcripts and identify natural breaking points for different platforms.
What often stops people from implementing repurposing strategies? In my experience coaching business owners, three main obstacles emerge. First is overthinking—worrying that repurposing means being repetitive. The reality is that people rarely see even 10% of what you share online. Repetition isn’t just acceptable; it’s essential for building brand trust and clarity. Second is perfectionism—believing everything must be professionally edited, captioned, and branded before publishing. Remember: done is fun, and “B-minus” work posted consistently beats perfect work that never sees the light of day. Third is a lack of systems—not knowing what to post where or when. This is where having a repurposing calendar or framework becomes invaluable.
The most exciting part of content repurposing is seeing how it creates space in your schedule while simultaneously increasing your visibility. By implementing even basic repurposing strategies, you can transform your content approach from chaotic and overwhelming to strategic and sustainable. You don’t need to be everywhere all at once—you just need to show up strategically, and repurposing is the key to making that happen. If time remains a challenge, consider bringing on a virtual assistant who can help implement your repurposing strategy, allowing you to focus on creating that core content that drives your business forward.
So here’s my challenge to you: Pick one piece of core content you’ve already created, break it down into three to five smaller pieces using the frameworks I’ve shared, and schedule those pieces across different platforms this week. I guarantee you’ll be amazed by how much you accomplish with significantly less effort. Your content deserves to be seen by more people—repurposing ensures that happens without burning you out in the process.

If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing content, posting here, filming that, writing this caption, sending the email, you're not alone. The truth is, you don't need more content. You need to do more with what you've already created. So you want to make an impact. You're thinking about starting a business, sharing your voice. How do women do it that handle motherhood, family and still chase after those dreams? We'll listen each week as we dive into the stories of women who know this is Call Me CEO. Hey, everyone, it's Camille here with another episode of Call Me CEO, the podcast to help moms build businesses without burning out, and today I'm breaking down one of the most powerful strategies that has saved me time, boosted my visibility and helped me show up consistently online without feeling like I live on my phone, which, let's be honest, sometimes we feel like we choose to live on our phone. Sometimes it feels like it's thrust upon us. So today we're talking about repurposing, and if you're not doing it yet, or if you feel like you're doing it randomly, I'm here to walk you through a clear, simple framework that'll totally change everything. So let's dive in. And if you're new here, please know that your being here means a lot to me. I've been recording this podcast now for four and a half years and it is so amazing to learn all the different ways that women are building businesses, especially mothers, who are able to create and live according to the way they want to dictate their day and make it all come together. So my hat's off to you. Thank you so much for being here. Please subscribe and, if you feel the urge, any review or sharing of this episode means a lot to me. So let's get started. Let's talk about first why repurposing matters. What is the why? One of the number one freebies that I have on my website is discover your why, because oftentimes, when things get hard, we want to go back to that why of what is it that keeps you showing up and keeps you consistent? So if you have not taken advantage of that yet, please check the show notes now and get your five day roadmap to discovering your why. If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing content posting here, filming that, writing this caption, sending the email you're not alone. The truth is, you don't need more content. You need to do more with what you've already created. This is a big key in something that I help coach women through all of the time is how do we repurpose, how do we delegate, how do we create more white space and how do you take a concept or a piece of content and repurpose it in a way that makes it maximize your efforts for your time? This is where having a virtual assistant comes in. That's huge. I've covered that a lot, so I'm not going to talk about that right now, but if that is something you need help with, I help with people with that as well.

When you repurpose, you take one core idea and you turn it into multiple pieces of content and each one is customized for a different platform or format, and you're working smarter, not harder. The best part is that repurposing helps you to reach new people without having to reinvent the wheel every single day. So where I'm creating this video content, this can go onto my podcast, it can go onto YouTube, it can go onto short, real videos or onto TikTok, if I wanted it to, and also to turn this into an email, a newsletter. So how do we get started with creating the core content, this method? Let's talk about how we can do this.
Camille: 3:51
So step one is starting with your piece of core content. This could be a podcast episode, like I mentioned a blog post, a YouTube video or a live training. Let's say that you record 10 minute podcasts on how to start a virtual assistant business. That becomes your core content for the week, and then step two is to extract key ideas from that core content that you can then pull out to put into other places. That could be three to five major takeaways. It's a favorite quote, a question for your audience, a personal story or something that you could share as an example. It could also be captions that you turn into a carousel or something and turning that into repurpose content. So an Instagram carousel, a TikTok or reel talking about the tip or the thing that you're sharing, a quote graphic for Pinterest or Instagram stories. You could send an email to your list with a personal angle or story behind that. You could take one blog post or LinkedIn article and expand on the topic, or even make a short video teaser to drive people back to the full episode. So see how you just took one piece of core content and it creates a full week of visibility with minimal extra effort. If this feels overwhelming to you in the beginning, you could pick two things that you start with. Maybe it's an Instagram carousel piece, as well as an email to your newsletter.

Hey, my friends, just popping in here really quick to say if you are drowning in a to-do list but never actually getting anything done, I hear you. This is the time to take back control of your day, and I've created a product for you, for free, that will help you to do this. It's called the Ultimate Time Audit and Productivity System. It is a free resource to help you pinpoint exactly where your time is going and what you should be delegating. My coaching involves a lot of time spent with business owners who are losing time valuable time on menial tasks that they could either delegate or create a system around, but first needing to understand how their time is being used. So imagine having more time for your family, your business and yourself, without the constant overwhelm. You can grab your free copy in the link below or at camillewalkerco, and start working smarter, not harder. Camillewalkerco is the website, but go ahead and grab that link below and I would love to help you take back your time right now.

Now, why my favorite repurposing shortcut? I'm going to give you one of my favorite tips here. It's called the domino blueprint, so how it works is you pick one topic or idea that aligns with your offer or message, and you record a 10 to 15 minute video about it Super casual, even selfie style. Then you slice that video into five short form clips. That could be two quotes, one graphic and one email. All of a sudden, you've got 10 pieces of content from one video. And if you're curious about how to turn your ideas into content machine, I've linked my favorite repurposing tool in the show notes. This can be used for YouTube videos, this could be used for blog posts, and the neat thing is that, if you even wanted to, you could take the content and plug it into AI and it could take a transcript of what you shared in your video or your blog post or your podcast and it will segment it for you if you feel like you need help in chopping it up.
Camille: 7:40
So what stops people from repurposing it's a really good idea to do this and what stops us? I can tell you what stops people most of the time is number one overthinking. They might think, oh, isn't this repetitive? Like I've already said this, so why would I say it again? Or why would I share it in so many places in so many different ways? Well, here's the truth, people rarely see 10% of what you share, and to imagine that someone is seeing what you're sharing everywhere, across your podcast, your blog, your socials it's just not happening. Repetition is actually essential for brand trust and clarity, so you do want them to hear you say the same things over and over again, because chances are they're missing it most of the time when you're sharing it.
Camille: 8:33
Another thing is perfectionism is what will hold people back that you imagine it needs to be edited, captioned, branded, and I've always said done is fun. If you can get it out there and you're making the content and you're sharing it. If you can get it out there and you're making the content and you're sharing it, it is good. Done is better than perfect. Start messy, clean it up later. Or even sometimes I think for me where, as a kid or as a student, I always thought, oh, I need to get that A, I need to get the A, but B minus work is oftentimes better than not posting at all.
Camille: 9:12
The last thing, number three, is a lack of systems and not knowing what to post where. So that's where a repurposing calendar or framework can come in to plan once, rinse and repeat, keep it simple and keep it the same, so that you're not trying to figure out how to redo this, how to come up with a way to keep it consistent. If that is something that you've struggled with, I would love to help you with that. You can DM me on Instagram, at camillewalkerco or at callmeCEOPodcast. So, for wrapping this up, I want you to consider your action steps about how you are going to implement this this week. So first, I want you to pick one piece of core content that you've already created whether it's a podcast, a blog post or a video or anything break it down into three to five smaller pieces using the format I shared, and then schedule it across different platforms this week. You will be amazed at how much you get done, how amazing it'll feel, and with way less effort.
Camille: 10:20
And remember, you don't need to be everywhere all at once all of the time. You just need to show up strategically, and repurposing is how you can do that. If you are struggling with time and you don't have the ability to share everything everywhere that you want to. This is where having a virtual assistant comes in really handy, and that is something I can help you with.
