Customizing Content for Different Syndication Platforms

For years, podcasting was confined to audio—a niche medium with a loyal following. But today, podcasters are breaking free from these boundaries to become full-fledged content creators. By embracing a creator mindset, they can expand their impact in big ways. When I launched FRQNCY Media in 2018 (practically decades ago in pod-time), our focus was on producing high-quality audio narratives that resonated with listeners. We prided ourselves on delivering pristine sound and engaging storytelling. Admittedly simpler times. However, as the media landscape has evolved, so has our strategy. We began by repurposing our client’s podcast episodes into compelling video clips (not just audiograms) tailored for platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. These clips attract new listeners beyond our traditional audience. Simultaneously, we developed companion content, like blog posts and newsletter blurbs, that dive deeper into each episode's themes, enhancing SEO and providing additional value to our client’s audiences. But our boldest pivot came with the integration of social platform analytics into our podcast-specific metrics. We realized that to truly measure our success and maximize our impact, we needed to embrace a holistic approach that included all social platform analytics alongside podcast metrics. We started measuring engagement rates across the platforms where our clients were promoting their podcasts (with aforementioned assets). This approach not only expanded our reach but also gave us a comprehensive view of our audience's preferences and behaviors. The results have been transformative. Our podcasts see increased engagement across platforms, and each podcast’s visibility flourishes in new, unexpected ways. By embracing a multi-platform strategy, we not only amplify the impact of our client shows but also help them foster deeper connections with their audience. If you're a podcaster looking to broaden your horizons, consider adopting the creator mindset. Think beyond traditional metrics and explore how your content can thrive across multiple platforms (but be choosy about where you show up). Embrace video content, leverage social media analytics, and reimagine your approach to engagement. The future of podcasting is dynamic and multi-dimensional—ready for creators like you to innovate and inspire.

Platform-Savvy Copy: The Engagement Boost! 🚀 Effective copywriting isn't one-size-fits-all; it's about adapting to various platforms. Here's how to tailor your content for maximum engagement: 1. Know Your Audience Understand the unique demographics, preferences, and behavior of your audience on each platform. 2. Tone and Style Adapt your tone and style to match the platform's culture. Social media can be casual, while emails may require a more formal tone. 3. Formatting Matters Different platforms require different formatting. Short and snappy for social media, structured and clear for websites, and personalized for email. 4. Visual Content Incorporate visual elements like images, infographics, and videos where appropriate to enhance engagement. 5. Platform-Specific Features Utilize features unique to each platform, such as hashtags on social media or dynamic content in emails. 6. Consistency is Key While adapting to platforms, maintain a consistent brand voice and message to build trust. 7. Mobile Optimization Ensure that your copy is mobile-friendly as a significant portion of the audience accesses content on smartphones. 8. A/B Testing Regularly test different approaches to see what resonates best with your audience on each platform. 9. Analytics and Feedback Analyze performance data and gather feedback to refine your copywriting strategy continually. 10. Stay Informed - Keep up with evolving platform algorithms, trends, and audience behaviors to remain effective. Conclusion: Adapt your copy to engage your audience strategically, not just following trends. 📱💡 P.S.: Remember, the heart of your message should remain consistent across platforms, even as the packaging changes. This cohesive approach strengthens your brand identity. #copywriting #copywriter #copywritingtips #landingpage #adcopy

Here's what most creators miss about brand partnerships... When a brand asks you to ✨ 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲✨ your IG Reel to LinkedIn and/or TikTok, don't just copy and paste! I've been on both sides my entire career in giving creator feedback and working on the brand side. Especially today, where syndication is more common of a request, the difference of creators sharing customized syndication content is a major opportunity to standout and should be much more normalized. As you know, your IG audience isn't your LI or TikTok audience. Yet, I'd say 98 out of 100 creators post the exact same thing everywhere when asked to "syndicate". Here's a simple recommendation to save you hours of time and will likely pay off in dividends. Drop your approved IG caption into ChatGPT with: -- Your last 10 posts from each platform -- Screenshots of each platform's demographics Prompt: "Rewrite my Instagram caption here and create a caption that is slightly different for my "LinkedIn" and "TikTok" audience. Attached are my LI and TikTok demographics and last 10 posts from each. Analyze all of this and come up with a few caption ideas to better appeal to the audience on each platform." (attach the brief as well). Once you get your results, obviously, you can make your personalized edits. But you should see a noticeable improvement. Another extra tip-- 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 directly to ChatGPT/your fave LLM. I haven't done this as much, but I've recently started trying it out when reviewing content and it's not too shabby! The GPT will actually recommend improving your hook or CTA. Ask it: "What's one edit to make this hit on LinkedIn and TikTok? Here's my audience demo. Please provide 1 or 2 simple edits I can easily make to appeal to each platform better". (or something like that, you get the idea). Here's what happens: You deliver 3 customized versions instead of one asset that's the same. Even if they're different by 5%, the point is you're the expert and telling the brand why this edit is necessary. You then email the brand or agency: "Hi Team, attached is my video for X which includes 3 slightly modified versions of the video and caption tailored to my audience demographics and interests for each platform." Brands notice and performance of content will surely improve. Give it a try -- can't hurt!! #𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 #𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 #𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

You don’t need more content ideas. You need one good idea to use the right way. Most realtors think… “Different platforms = different content.” So they stress over what to post on LinkedIn… Then Instagram… Then TikTok… That's why content feels overwhelming. And your voice feels scattered. Content doesn’t have to be hard. It just has to be smart. Here’s a repurposing flow you can make use of: 🔹 Step 1: Start with a STORY on LinkedIn. Tell a real client story. Share a lesson. Use text and image format. Let it breathe and build trust. 🔹 Step 2: Turn it into a short VIDEO for TikTok. Pick the core emotion or transformation and turn it into a 30–60-second video. Face the camera. Be real. Use hooks like: “Here’s what no one tells you about buying land in Epe…” 🔹 Step 3: Extract ONE key line or quote for Instagram. Make it a graphic carousel or a bold reel. Let it be punchy and easy to save and share. Same message. Same value. Different languages and formats. This is how you stop chasing content… And start creating connections. Because when you repurpose right: 📌 You show up more consistently 📌 Your message becomes unforgettable 📌 Your ideal client hears you — everywhere You don’t need to say new things every day. You need to say the right thing in new ways. Want me to help you build a content calendar like this — tailored to your real estate brand?

"We did a few media syndication campaigns, got good results, but then it kind of all looked the same." This is what a BAD syndication experience looks like. The excitement fades and the budget gets reallocated to something shinier. The problem always comes down to the approach. You find one format that works (a data report, a listicle, a trend piece) and then repeat it three or four times without changing the angle. The first story gets 200 pickups. The second gets 180. The third gets 120. By the fourth, editors have "been there, done that" and ignore you almost entirely. Newsroom editors are making independent decisions about what to run for their audience. They're not obligated to pick up anything. So if every story from your brand looks like a slight variation on the same theme, they start passing. We need variety. A travel brand that led with destination data might pivot to a service journalism angle (safety tips, booking guides, seasonal planning advice). A company that started with national trend pieces might go local, tailoring stories to specific regions where their audience is ready to explore. A brand that's been doing listicles might try a cultural or historical narrative that gives editors something with more depth to work with. The format should change. The angle should change. The editorial approach should evolve based on what's performing and what editors in the network are genuinely hungry for. This is ongoing editorial work. Just like any other form of content strategy, it requires fresh thinking, new angles, and a willingness to surprise oneself in the process of finding/writing a story. If your syndication results have plateaued, this is the only way to get back on track.

I've worked with personal brands like GaryVee and Ryan Serhant. They all use this 4-step framework to save time (and money) 👇 1. Start with Long-Form Content At first glance, this might sound backwards. Creating long-form content takes forever, right? Here's the thing: if you nail this, it becomes the engine for your entire personal brand. Best long-form formats I've seen work: • Vlogs • Podcasts & Interviews (my personal favorite) • Webinars & Virtual Workshops • Keynotes & Panel Discussions • Q&A Sessions (close second) • Live Streams Yes, it's a commitment. You're looking at 1-3 hours to create something exceptional. But you only need to do this once a month (weekly if you're ambitious). 2. Repurpose into Short-Form Content Every long-form piece can spawn dozens of short-form assets: • Pull quotes for Twitter and Facebook • Cut video clips for Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok • Transcribe clips into written posts for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook • Create longer clips for standalone Facebook and YouTube videos • Turn transcripts into articles and blog posts Here's the irony: Long-form content eats 70-90% of your time, but short-form drives 70-90% of your growth. Classic Pareto Principle. 3. Tailor Content to Each Platform What crushes on TikTok might flop on LinkedIn. What works on Instagram might die on Twitter. Most creators skip this step. Big mistake. Each platform has its own culture: • LinkedIn wants professional insights • TikTok craves entertainment • Instagram loves visual storytelling • Twitter rewards hot takes Same message, different packaging. Use my repurposing framework as your starting point, then adapt. 4. Delegate EVERYTHING (Except the Source) You only need to be involved in creating the long-form content. Everything else? Delegate immediately: • Strategy: Someone to extract your ideas • Copy: Someone to articulate your voice • Design: Someone to visualize your concepts • Video: Someone to edit your content • Distribution: Someone to handle posting And no, this doesn't require venture funding. If you're hands-on with freelancers, you can build a solid team for under $2,000/month. Absolute steal. If you want the whole thing off your plate, agencies run $2,500-$10,000/month.

After my last post about repurposing content for multiple platforms, I received quite a few questions on how to execute so here’s an example: One explanation video. Three Platforms. Here’s how to do it without wasting time: ▶ TikTok → Full Video with Sound & Captions • Post your original video as is. • Add on-screen text for clarity (most people watch without sound). • Use a trending sound in the background for extra reach if applicable. ▶ Instagram → Quick Adjustments • Post the same video as a Reel with either the original sound or a trending one. • Stories: Grab a key frame from the video, add text, and post it as an image. • Bonus tip: Make a carousel. Turn 2-3 key takeaways into a swipe-through format. ▶ LinkedIn → No Music • Post the same video without music, so the focus is on the message. • Or, take a single frame from the video and post it as an image with a deep-dive caption. • Bonus Tip: Turn a key insight into a poll to get feedback from the network. Same content. Slight tweaks. Multiple posts.

If you are on more than one platform, here's how you can turn one idea into 8 pieces of content... Most creators are exhausting themselves by reinventing the wheel daily. You write a LinkedIn post Then stress about your newsletter. Then scramble for an Instagram idea. Then panic about next week's content. There's a better way. One core idea can become multiple pieces of content across different platforms. I call it the Content Multiplication System. Here's how it works: Start with ONE piece of core content (like a client success story). Then multiply it: 1. LinkedIn Article: Full story with lessons learned 2. LinkedIn Carousel: "5 Mistakes That Kill [Industry] Results" 3. Instagram Story: Behind-the-scenes of the transformation 4. Twitter Thread: Quick tips extracted from the case study 5. Email Newsletter: Detailed breakdown for subscribers 6. YouTube Short: 60-second version of the key insight 7. Blog Post: Comprehensive guide with templates 8. Podcast Episode: Interview-style discussion of the lessons Same core content. Different angles, depths, and formats. Each piece serves different consumption preferences while reinforcing the same core message. Some people prefer quick tips (Twitter). Others want depth (blog post). Some need visual proof (Instagram). Others want detailed analysis (newsletter). Instead of creating 8 different ideas, you're serving 8 different needs with one great idea. Your best insights deserve to reach people however they prefer to consume content. And with AI, creating some of these takes less time This isn't about being lazy—it's about being strategic. This is one of the marketing concepts I teach in my upcoming book — Mastering the Marketing Game The goal is to work smarter, not harder. #18DaysofMarketingGenius #21DaysOfMarketingGenius

Coaches, have you ever thought “I don’t want to sound like a nag… but how many times can I write about the same topic?!” Turns out, Google actually researched this. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 7-11-4 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 ---------------------- Before someone decides to buy from you, they need: 💸 At least 7 hours of interacting with your content (though it doesn’t have to be all in one sitting) • LinkedIn posts • Newsletters • Podcasts • Blogs 💸 At least 11 Interactions (touch points) with your brand • Visiting your website • Liking your LinkedIn post • Reading a DM you sent them • Replying to your newsletter CTA 💸 At least 4 different locations (platforms) where they can engage with you • LinkedIn • Your website • Your podcast • At a virtual or in-person event I’m sharing this not to overwhelm you, but to show how you can work smarter with content creation. Approach 1: ----------- Repurpose your best LinkedIn post into a newsletter. Expand it by: • Including anecdotes • Sharing extra images • Adding more backstory • Providing deeper explanation • Expressing stronger opinions Approach 2: ----------- Turn a high-performing newsletter into LinkedIn post. Condense it by: • Summarizing into 3–5 bullet points • Rewriting with shorter, punchier sentences (or have AI do it) • Splitting it into 2–3 LinkedIn posts • Creating one post on the problem and another on the solution You can write about same topic, just tailor it to the two different platforms: On LinkedIn, it’s broader. With newsletter, it’s your chance to go deeper and more personal. People need to hear your message more than once. Just keep showing up. ❓ Want more ideas on repurposing content?
