How to Turn a VOD into a Month of Micro-Content (Clip Strategy)
Your VODs are goldmines. Break them down into clips, mix the vibes, tailor for each platform, and keep your content calendar full without burning out. The best part? You already did the hard work. Now it’s time to mine it.
The Goldmine You’re Sitting On
Let’s paint a familiar picture: you’re grinding every day, scrambling for new content like you’re panning for gold in a dry riverbed. You’re stressing about what to post tomorrow, thinking you need to fire up a fresh stream just to stay relevant. Meanwhile, you’ve got a mountain of VODs collecting digital dust.
Those “old” VODs? They’re not stale. They’re not yesterday’s news. They’re goldmines. Packed. With. Clips.
VODs are micro-content factories waiting to be cracked open. Every weird chat interaction, every clutch play, every awkward fail; that’s all prime material that your future audience wants to see, in smaller, snackable bites.
Instead of chasing daily content like you’re in some kind of never-ending treadmill race, you can flip the script. Breaking down a single VOD can hand you enough clips to fuel your social feeds for weeks. No panic, no burnout, no need to invent brand-new ideas every day.
The content’s already there. You just have to mine it.
