3 tools to make life easier on business owners

Content Repurposing System: One Video, 66 Posts with Claude.

Most business owners create content the hard way. They spend an hour writing an Instagram post, post it once, and move on. By tomorrow, it is buried. By next week, it is forgotten. And the cycle starts again.

A proper content repurposing system changes that completely. Instead of creating new content from scratch every day, you record one solid anchor video and let AI multiply it across every platform where your audience hangs out. Done right, a single 30-to-45-minute recording session produces enough content to keep you visible for weeks.

This is the exact process I use at St Ledger Marketing, and the three tools at the centre of it are Claude, Blotato, and Higgsfield. Here’s the full walkthrough on video:

What Is a Content Repurposing System?

A content repurposing system is a repeatable workflow that takes one piece of long-form content and transforms it into multiple formats suited to different platforms. The input is always a high-quality anchor piece: a YouTube video, a podcast, a live stream, or a webinar. The output is a batch of platform-native content: carousels, short-form scripts, image posts, captions, text posts, and SEO articles.

The keyword is “repeatable.” Anyone can take a transcript and manually chop it into social posts. That is not a system. A system runs the same steps in the same order every time, with minimal hands-on intervention, and produces a consistent volume of output you can rely on.

The reason this matters for small business owners is straightforward: you cannot maintain a consistent presence online if you are starting from zero every time you open a new blank document. The businesses that show up daily are not working harder. They built a system.

The Three-Tool Stack

Before getting into the workflow, it helps to understand what each tool does and why these three specifically.

Claude: The Brain

Claude handles everything that requires thinking: reading the transcript, understanding the core ideas, writing platform-specific captions, structuring carousel slides, drafting short-form scripts, and producing SEO articles. It does not just summarise the video. It understands the content well enough to write a LinkedIn post that feels native to LinkedIn, a TikTok script that works for TikTok, and a carousel that teaches something in five slides.

The way I have Claude set up, it operates as a content repurposing factory. Drop in an SRT file (the transcript from the video), give it the instruction to repurpose, and it produces a full batch of content: carousels, image briefs, reel scripts, text posts, and captions for each piece, platform by platform.

A 10-minute video typically yields 10 to 12 pieces of content. A 30-to-45-minute video can push well beyond 30.

Higgsfield: The Visual Engine

Higgsfield generates the images. Each content type that needs a visual gets one: carousel slides, standalone image posts, YouTube thumbnails. I give it a brief and it produces options. The visuals are AI-generated but branded, which matters because generic stock images hurt credibility with the kind of audience that follows an SME owner.

For YouTube, Higgsfield generates multiple thumbnail options. I typically pick from four or five candidates before publishing.

Blotato: The Scheduler

Blotato is the publishing layer. Once content is created and structured, it pushes everything to the platforms: LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and more. It handles the timing, manages the queue, and posts on schedule.

The full tool stack runs at roughly 60 to 70 euros per month combined. Claude at around 20 euros, Higgsfield at a similar price, Blotato at a similar price. If budget is tight, start with Claude alone. It handles content creation, and you schedule manually while you build the habit.

The Content Repurposing System: Step by Step

Here is the exact workflow, in order.

Step 1: Record a Quality Anchor Piece

The anchor piece is the foundation. If it is weak, everything that comes from it is weak. You cannot repurpose your way out of thin content.

For a 10-minute video, expect 10 to 12 repurposed pieces. For a 30-to-45-minute long-form video, you can realistically produce 30-plus pieces without repeating yourself. Podcasts and live streams work well because you cover a lot of ground in a single session.

The anchor does not have to be a YouTube video. It can be a Facebook Live, a Zoom webinar, or a recorded interview. What matters is that it covers one topic with enough depth that it contains multiple teachable moments.

Pro tip: Plan your anchor piece around a content pillar you want to own. Do not record off the cuff and hope the transcript is usable. Know your topic, structure your thoughts, and give the AI something worth working with.

Step 2: Transcribe Using Whisper via GPU

Once the recording is done, it goes through Whisper for transcription. Whisper is an open-source transcription model from OpenAI. It produces an SRT file, which is a timestamped transcript.

Make sure transcription runs through your GPU, not your CPU. The difference is significant. CPU transcription on a long video can take 30 to 40 minutes. GPU transcription takes a fraction of that.

The SRT file is the input that drives everything else in the system.

Step 3: Run the Content Repurposing Factory in Claude

With the SRT file ready, the next step is feeding it into Claude via the content repurposing factory. This is a structured Claude project with custom instructions and a defined pipeline.

What it produces from a single SRT file:

  • Carousel slides (multiple formats: educational, case study, standard)
  • Short-form reel scripts (for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
  • Platform-specific captions for each piece of content
  • Image post briefs for Higgsfield
  • LinkedIn and Facebook text posts
  • An SEO article brief for the website

The captions are native to each platform. What works on LinkedIn does not work on Instagram. What works on Instagram does not work on TikTok. Claude writes each caption with the platform’s conventions in mind, not a one-size-fits-all version copied across.

Step 4: Generate Visuals in Higgsfield

Any content type that needs imagery goes through Higgsfield at this stage. Carousel slides get their visual treatment, image posts get designed, and YouTube thumbnails get generated.

The system checks Higgsfield credits before running generation so there are no surprises mid-workflow.

For YouTube, I generate five thumbnail options per video and choose the strongest one before uploading. For a small channel, thumbnail clarity matters more than visual sophistication. The face needs to be visible, the text needs to be readable at small sizes, and the image needs to communicate the value of the video in under a second.

Step 5: Run the YouTube Publishing Pack

Alongside the content repurposing run, the system also builds a YouTube publishing pack. This pulls from the SRT file to generate three title options (scored for CTR via VidIQ), a description with chapters, relevant tags, and the thumbnail batch from Higgsfield.

Everything lands in Notion: the video brief, the title options with scores, the description, chapters, and the thumbnail images. I review and choose from there.

Step 6: Generate the SEO Article

Claude also produces a full SEO article as part of the run. This targets a keyword relevant to the video topic and goes to WordPress as a blog post. The article includes internal links, proper metadata, and is optimised for both Google search and AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.

This is the piece of the system most people skip. It is also the one that compounds over time. Social posts disappear in 48 hours. An SEO article can drive traffic for years.

Step 7: Schedule via Blotato

With all content created, captioned, and organised, the final step is running the scheduling agent. This uses Blotato’s API to push content into the publishing queue across all connected platforms.

A full run from one 30-to-45-minute video can produce 66 pieces of content including cross-platform variants of the same carousel, scheduled across four or more days. Once it is in Blotato, I walk away. The queue handles the rest.

What the Output Actually Looks Like

To make this concrete, here is a typical output batch from one video:

  • 3 to 5 carousel formats (educational, standard, main brand)
  • 4 to 6 reel scripts (ready to record, 45 to 90 seconds each)
  • 8 to 10 platform-specific captions (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook)
  • 2 image posts with AI-generated visuals
  • 1 SEO article for the website
  • 1 YouTube publishing pack (title, description, chapters, thumbnails)

When a carousel posts to both LinkedIn and TikTok with different captions, that counts as two pieces. When a reel goes to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, that is three. That is how 30 source pieces of content become 66 scheduled posts.

The system does not manufacture nonsense to hit a number. Every piece has a real caption, a real platform-appropriate angle, and a real reason to exist.

What This System Is Not

Two things worth being clear on.

First, this is not a fully hands-off automation. The anchor recording is still on you. Choosing which thumbnail to use is still on you. The writing and visuals are AI-assisted, but the quality of the output reflects the quality of the input and the quality of the prompting system behind it.

Second, the content repurposing system does not replace a content strategy. It amplifies one. If you do not know what pillar of your business you are building authority around, the system will produce a lot of content that goes nowhere. Know your topic, own your message, then let the system do the multiplication.

FAQ

How many pieces of content can I realistically get from one video?

It depends on the length of the recording. A 10-minute video will give you 10 to 12 pieces without repetition. A 30-to-45-minute video can produce 30-plus pieces. When you factor in cross-platform variants with platform-specific captions, a single anchor session can produce 60 to 70 scheduled posts across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and more.

Do I need all three tools to run this system?

No. Claude alone covers content creation. Higgsfield covers visuals, and Blotato covers scheduling. If budget is limited, start with Claude. You can create images via ChatGPT’s image generation and schedule manually until the system is generating a clear return. Add tools as the bottleneck shifts.

Does repurposed content hurt engagement because it is not original?

Repurposed content is not recycled content. Each platform gets a piece written for that platform, from the perspective of that platform’s audience. A LinkedIn carousel and a TikTok script can both come from the same SRT file and feel completely different to the person reading or watching. The source is shared. The execution is not.

How much does the full tool stack cost per month?

The three tools run at approximately 60 to 70 euros per month combined: around 20 euros each for Claude, Higgsfield, and Blotato. For the volume of content produced and the time saved, the cost per piece of content is extremely low compared to outsourcing or producing everything manually.

Can this work with content formats other than video?

Yes. The transcript is the key input, not the video format. A podcast episode, a live stream, or even a recorded Zoom call all produce an SRT or transcript file that feeds the same system. The anchor piece just needs to be substantive enough to have multiple teachable moments worth repurposing.

Start With the Anchor

The content repurposing system described here is the actual one running in my business. It is not a theoretical workflow or a pitch for tools. It is the specific combination of Claude, Blotato, and Higgsfield that produces 60-plus pieces of scheduled content from a single recording session, week after week.

If you want to learn how this system is structured and see the exact prompts and workflows behind it, the full setup is documented inside the Marketing Hub. Everything from the Claude project configuration to the Blotato scheduling setup is in there.
