## TL;DR {#tldr}

- You start from content you already produced (YouTube video, podcast, article, PDF, image, voice note or a raw thought) instead of a blank page.
- LinkPost transcribes or ingests the source, then generates 25 variants scored on 300+ factors, including 27 personalized to your voice.
- One long-form piece equals several posts: you keep a publishing cadence by repurposing your material instead of inventing new material every day.
- It's not a plain summary: each variant is scored by the virality algorithm calibrated on 1M+ analyzed LinkedIn posts.
- You stay in control: you review and tweak the chosen variant before scheduling or publishing it.

## How multi-source repurposing works {#how-it-works}

You drop in a source: a YouTube video link, a podcast episode, an article URL, a PDF, an image, a voice note or a thought jotted on the fly. LinkPost **transcribes or ingests** it, pulls out the strong ideas, then generates **25 variants** built on different angles. You never start from scratch.

Each variant then runs through the virality prediction algorithm, which **scores it before publishing**. You see which version of the same content matches the most winning patterns, tweak it, and publish the one with the best potential. One hour of podcast can feed a week of posts.

### Video, podcast, PDF, voice: anything goes in {#accepted-sources}

LinkPost accepts a **YouTube video**, a **podcast**, an **article**, a **PDF**, an **image**, a **voice note** or a **raw thought**. Video and audio get transcribed, PDFs and articles get read, images get analyzed. Whatever the input format, the output is a calibrated LinkedIn post.

### Scored, not just summarized {#scored-not-summarized}

A classic summary returns one flat block of text. LinkPost goes further: it generates **25 angles** rated by a **virality score** (33 criteria, 300+ factors), so you publish the version with the statistically best shot, not the first one that comes out.

### Repurposed in your voice {#in-your-voice}

LinkPost learns **27 style factors** from your posts (rhythm, vocabulary, preferred formats) so the repurposed content sounds like you, not like an assistant paraphrasing. Your podcast becomes a post that sounds like you.

## One long-form piece, several posts {#one-source-many-posts}

The real bottleneck of a publishing cadence isn't the writing: it's the raw material. You've already produced hours of content (videos, episodes, articles) sitting idle. Multi-source repurposing lets you pull **several posts** from each source, each on a different angle, instead of hunting for a new idea every morning.

In practice, a 15-minute YouTube video can yield five to ten post angles: a story, a sharp opinion, a list of lessons, a striking statistic, an open question. You repurpose your best material instead of inventing bland new content.

## What repurposing won't do for you {#honesty}

Let's be honest: no tool turns a source into a perfect post without a review. LinkPost gives you a huge **head start** (transcription, angles, scoring), but you're the one who validates. You read the chosen variant, cut what sounds off, add your lived detail.

The goal isn't to publish on autopilot, it's to kill the blank page and lean on data. Repurposing gets you close to the final post; the judgment stays yours.

## Repurposing inside the full LinkPost flow {#toward-the-product}

Repurposing is just one step. Once you've picked a variant, you can **schedule** it in the calendar, **publish** it through the official LinkedIn API, then **measure** its result in analytics. The full loop is repurpose, score, publish, measure.

There's no free trial of the full product: the Post Analyzer is the free tool to test the scoring logic, and LinkPost is the next step when you want to repurpose your material and run things over time.

## FAQ {#faq}

### How do I turn a YouTube video into a LinkedIn post? {#faq-how-do-i-turn-a-youtube-video-into-a-linkedin-post}

You paste the video link into LinkPost. It transcribes the video, extracts the strong ideas, then generates 25 post variants scored on 300+ factors. You pick the angle you like, tweak it in your voice, and publish. One video yields several posts.

### Can I repurpose a podcast into a LinkedIn post? {#faq-can-i-repurpose-a-podcast-into-a-linkedin-post}

Yes. LinkPost transcribes the episode and pulls several post angles from it (story, opinion, list of lessons). One hour of podcast can feed a week of LinkedIn content, without re-listening or summarizing it yourself.

### Which sources does LinkPost accept? {#faq-which-sources-does-linkpost-accept}

A YouTube video, a podcast, an article, a PDF, an image, a voice note or a raw thought. Video and audio get transcribed, PDFs and articles get read, images get analyzed: the output is always a scored LinkedIn post.

### Can I create a LinkedIn post from a PDF? {#faq-can-i-create-a-linkedin-post-from-a-pdf}

Yes. You drop in the PDF (study, slide deck, report) and LinkPost extracts the key ideas to generate scored post variants. You turn a dense document into readable LinkedIn content, without rewriting everything.

### Is this just an automatic summary? {#faq-is-this-just-an-automatic-summary}

No. A summary returns one flat block of text. LinkPost generates 25 variants on different angles, each rated by a virality score calibrated on 1M+ analyzed LinkedIn posts. You publish the version most likely to land.

### Is the repurposed content in my voice or generic? {#faq-is-the-repurposed-content-in-my-voice-or-generic}

In your voice. LinkPost learns 27 style factors from your posts (rhythm, vocabulary, formats) to calibrate repurposing. The post pulled from your video sounds like you, not like a neutral paraphrase.

### Do I still need to review before publishing? {#faq-do-i-still-need-to-review-before-publishing}

Yes, and that's intentional. LinkPost gives you a head start (transcription, angles, scoring), but you validate the final variant: you cut what sounds off, add your lived detail. Repurposing gets you close to the post, the judgment stays yours.
