How To Turn One Video Into 20 Pieces of Content - Ep. 181 w/ Denzell Turner

What Up Doe?! In this episode of Black Fridays, Denzell breaks down how creators, entrepreneurs, and podcasters can take one long-form video and turn it into 20 different pieces of content across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, LinkedIn, email, blogs, websites, flyers, press releases, and even ebooks. The conversation focuses on working smarter with the content you already have, using tools like ChatGPT for text-based content and Opus Clip for video repurposing. The biggest takeaway is that creators do not need to constantly chase new ideas. They need systems that help them extract more value, build authority, stay visible, and create multiple audience touchpoints from one strong piece of content.
