How One YouTube Video Gives Us 20+ Pieces of Content (Without Burning Out)

Introduction

Creating content is hard. Doing it consistently? Even harder. At Harissa Studio, we stopped chasing inspiration — and built a system instead.

‍

The secret? Don’t create more. Repurpose better.

We no longer create content from scratch every day.

We build systems. We repurpose. We scale.

Everything starts with one strong, well-planned YouTube video.

From there, we create weeks of high-quality content — without stress.

Step 1: It all starts with the script

We don’t wing it.

Each long-form video starts with a fully written script.

Every sentence, every shot, every cut is intentional.

Why?

👉 Because we already know we’ll be slicing it into dozens of smaller pieces later.

Step 2: One long-format video every 2 weeks

We shoot a single long-form video every 15 days.

This is our content pillar.

During filming, we already think ahead:

• Which clips will work for shorts?
• What parts could become carousels?
• Which insights will spark conversation on LinkedIn or X?

Everything is filmed with repurposing in mind.

Step 3: Smart editing = multiple formats

Once the video is shot and edited, we move to content slicing.

We extract:

• punchy quotes
• key insights
• strong hooks
• mini-tutorials
• relatable moments

From this one video, we can create:

• YouTube Shorts
• Instagram Reels
• TikTok videos
• LinkedIn posts
• X threads
• Carousels
• Newsletters
• Tutorials

👉 All from one single source.

Step 4: Organized in Notion

Everything goes into our Notion workspace.

It’s our editorial command center.

We know:

• What we’re posting
• When we’re posting
• On which platform
• And for what purpose

This structure saves us hours every week.

No last-minute panic. Just clarity and calm.

Step 5: Scheduled with Buffer

Once all content is ready, we plug it into Buffer.

The tool automatically publishes everything according to our schedule.

👉 The result?

No daily posting stress.

Just smooth, consistent distribution — on autopilot.

Conclusion: Create once, distribute smart

This system has changed the game for us.

• More consistency
• Less burnout
• Better performance
• And more creative freedom

If you want to build an online presence without losing your mind…

Start with one great video — and turn it into a content engine.
