How to Turn One YouTube Video into 12 Posts Without Burning Out


Most solopreneurs burn out creating content for every platform from scratch.


Content Waterfall fixes that.


Here's how it works:


Step 1: Upload a YouTube Link (Up to 25 Mins)


Just paste in the URL. That's it.


We'll generate:

  • A clean, AI summary of your video
  • A Tweet
  • A LinkedIn post

  • Step 2: Remix, Unlimited


    The first three outputs are limited by your plan. But remixing? That's free and unlimited.


    Choose your tone:

  • Punchy
  • Contrarian
  • Casual
  • Story-driven
  • Professional

  • Then add hooks and CTAs.


    Each original post gets 5 tone variations + your hooks = 12 content pieces.


    Step 3: Save & Reuse Anytime


    Your content is saved and editable. Come back anytime to remix again.


    Fast, Parallel AI


    Video processing takes about 15โ€“30 seconds. Remixing takes seconds โ€” thanks to our AI models running in parallel.


    Real Example


    I uploaded a 15-minute video about content repurposing.


    Content Waterfall generated:

  • Summary: "Key insights on turning one video into multiple posts"
  • Tweet: "Most creators post randomly. The ones who win post consistently."
  • LinkedIn: "The systematic approach to content consistency"

  • Then I remixed the tweet into 5 variations:

  • Punchy: "Stop posting when you feel like it. Start posting consistently."
  • Contrarian: "Consistency is overrated. Here's what actually works..."
  • Casual: "I used to post whenever. Then I discovered this..."
  • Story-driven: "My journey from random posting to systematic content"
  • Professional: "Data shows consistent posting increases engagement by 300%"

  • AI added hooks and CTAs to each.


    Result: 12 high-quality posts from one video.


    The Math


    Before Content Waterfall:

  • 1 video = 1 piece of content
  • 2 hours of work = 1,000 views

  • After Content Waterfall:

  • 1 video = 12 pieces of content
  • ~0% more work = 10,000+ views

  • Platform-Specific Optimization


    Twitter/X:

  • Quick, punchy insights
  • Character count optimization
  • Trending hashtags integration

  • LinkedIn:

  • Professional tone
  • Industry insights
  • Thought leadership focus

  • Brand Voice Customization


    Set your preferences once:


    AI creates additional tone options:

  • Punchy: Bold, direct statements
  • Contrarian: Challenge conventional wisdom
  • Casual: Conversational, friendly
  • Story-driven: Personal experiences
  • Professional: Industry insights and data

  • Direct Publishing Workflow
