Turn one article into 10 social posts super-fast

Scan time: 3-5 min / Read time: 5-7 min

Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Most solopreneurs think they need to write fresh content every time they post on social media.

That's not true.

Here's what actually works... Turn one long-form article into 10 social posts with two compression methods in 8 minutes.

⛳️ Why this works

You've got articles sitting there. Blog posts. Newsletter archives. Maybe even a book.

Every one of those long-form assets is a goldmine of short-form content. But most creators ignore them. They think repurposing means being lazy or repetitive.

Here's the thing...

Your content library is like a grocery store.

Most creators walk past the store every morning to hunt for berries in the forest. Takes hours. They might find something. They might not.

Smart creators walk into the store. The food's already there. Organized. Ready to grab.

Your articles work the same way. Every long-form piece you've written contains dozens of short-form ideas. Main points. Sub-points. Examples. Frameworks.

Why start from scratch when you've already done the thinking?

The compression system gives you two ways to extract social posts from any article. First method uses the article's main structure as bullets. Second method zooms into one section and breaks it down further.

With one prompt, your AI sidekick turns any article into 10 ready-to-post variations. No blank page. No creative paralysis.

Turns out, proven content beats staring at empty screens every time. BAM.

Let's see how David figured this out...

David runs a productivity newsletter.

But here's his problem. Posts on X and LinkedIn? Blank screen every morning. He'd sit there trying to think of something fresh to say.

"Maybe I should write about time management..." Delete. "What about focus techniques..." Delete. "Productivity tools?" Delete.

Hours burned. Nothing posted.

His newsletter had 50+ articles. Proven content. Subscribers loved it. But he wasn't using any of it for social.

Why? He thought repurposing meant copying. Being lazy. Repeating himself.

Then David found something. A compression framework from multi-million dollar content creators.

Changed everything.

David decided to follow these steps:

Step 1: Train his AI sidekick on two compression methods Step 2: Paste any article and get 10 social posts automatically

Step 1: Train his AI sidekick on two compression methods

David opened ChatGPT/Claude (his AI sidekick).

He needed social posts. Fast. But he had no ideas.

But wait. He had 50 articles in his newsletter archive. What if he could extract posts from those?

He just needed a system.

Here's what he tried...

The article compression prompt

I am going to give you a long-form text and I want you to turn it into 10 short-form texts.

There are 2 ways you can create a short-form text from a long-form text.

- Way #1: Use sub-headers in the long-form text as bullets in the short-form text.
- Way #2: Use a sub-header in the long-form text as a main point in the short-form text.

Please create at least 1 of each type of short-form text in your response.

*******************

Here's a template to follow:

{HOOK POINT} 10-12 words.

List of supporting bullets for the POINT.

1 clear, poignant takeaway sentence.

*******************

For each short-form text hook the reader in the first sentence.

Here are some hook templates you can use for inspiration:

- {Number} X for Y
- Another {mistake/tip/step/benefit/reason/example/resource/framework} for X
- Another good X: Y
- Another helpful X for Y
- How to X so that Y
- Quick hack to X: 
- Stop trying to X, start Y
- Most people X, but the trick is to Y
- Less focus on X, more focus on Y
- One of the biggest mistakes I see is X
- Don't do X, do Y
- The best X are really just Y

*******************

A few rules:
- A short form text must be exactly 280 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
- Keep the format and spacing of the template.
- Just give me the short-form text in your output (No labels).

His AI sidekick now understood both compression methods.

Method 1 uses the article's structure. Main headers become bullets. Quick overview posts.

Method 2 zooms into one section. Breaks it down deeper. More focused posts.

Training complete.

Step 2: Paste any article and get 10 social posts automatically

David grabbed one of his newsletter articles. 1,200 words about morning routines.

Copy. Paste into his AI sidekick.

His AI sidekick analyzed the structure. Identified main points. Created variations using both methods.

30 seconds later... 10 social posts appeared.

Post 1 listed all 5 morning routine steps as bullets. Quick scan format.

Post 2 zoomed into just the meditation section. Broke down the why and how.

Post 3 took the exercise section. Made it standalone.

Each post was formatted. Hooked. Under 280 characters. Ready to copy and post.

David had one week of social content. From one article. In under 10 minutes total.

No blank screen. No creative paralysis. Just proven content reformatted.
