Ever wondered why you're low energy? 😴

Maybe even searched around for a new matcha drink, creatine or tried a mushroom mix.

Only to realise you're not sleeping at the same time every night. 🤦‍♂️

We often overlook the most obvious solutions in the pursuit of new tips, strategies & hacks.

Content is no different. And most of us are sleeping on a huge opportunity to 10x our views.

And it's so simple, you'll probably roll your eyes 👀

But before you do: ask yourself if you actually do this. And if not - listen up!

Posting across 4 channels will 4x your reach.

How many platforms do you post on?

If it's under 3 - I bet I can 10x your views.

This article explains how to recycle content - and it turn a single viral moment your talent has into:

✅ Longer term relevance

✅ A turning point for consistent higher views

✅ Extended reach & followers And it goes way beyond just posting on other platforms (don't worry) - let's dive in!

Over the past decade, I’ve helped talent managers and agencies across the UK, Europe, and the US build successful talent brands and secure high-value partnerships. Having worked at LVMH, and run my own talent agency (Talent Village), I know first-hand the daily challenges that talent managers face today – and what it takes to succeed.

Finding Winners is Hard

Finding a winner is hard.

It's a volume game. We put in the hours, test many ideas - and hope something hits.

Every once in a while, we strike gold - a viral post. 💰

But wasting it is easy.

Most creators post a winner once… then move on.

This leaves you in a constant content creation cycle. You produce, post, analyse, and then start over with something completely new.

But here's what we're missing: when something works, we're only capturing a fraction of its potential value!

If most talent's post once and move on... the smart ones treat it like an asset.

And leverage it to amplify their impact far into the future. This is a skill that very few master; it requires a deep understanding of data, creative iteration, trends analysis and content strategy. At it's core it's deceptively simple. But it goes way beyond a simple hack.

Leveraging a content insight system (like the free tool we built - available here). Can do the complex data analysis for you. And as long as you understand how to leverage these insights creatively - you're 90% there. We'll break it down into a simple framework that you can use, and provide you the tool for free. By the end of the article - you'll know exactly how to amplify (even 10x) your views online. It's comprised of two major methodologies to amplify impact:

♻️ Cross-format / platform posting

♻️ Cross-angle creative strategy Let's dive in with the quickest change you can make today to 4X your views: cross-platform and format amplification.

Step 1: Track Your Winners

There are two kinds of winners: Winning posts and winning moments.

What Are Winning Moments?

Winning moments could be:

A slide on a carousel that drove unexpected engagement
A spike in retention on a reel
Any signal that a certain moment caused high engagement

And winning posts are... well that's pretty obvious!

Put These into an Ideas Bank

This is crucial. You need a system to track what's working.

We've created a free tracker for this - it helps you log winning content and spot patterns in what performs.

Here's how to use it:

Log any high-view posts (or moments) - Don't just track viral hits. Track anything that performed above your baseline.

Tag them according to creative angle/format - Note whether it was a routine, podcast-style, storytime, carousel, car rant, etc.

View trends on winning creative angles - Use the dashboard to spot patterns. If "car rant" consistently performs well, that's data you can use.

The creative angle tag is everything for what comes next.

Part 2: Recycle Cross-Platform

One idea works well → post it across 4 different platforms.

Sounds obvious - but are you actually doing it? 🤔

Across ALL possible platforms? 🤔

(Yeah... me neither - most of us don't!)

The Math Behind Cross-Platform Recycling

But let's talk about compounding for a second:

Imagine you posted the same winning post across 4 new formats (carousel, story, etc.) or platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts).

Even if you only get 1,000 views per week on average, this becomes → 4,000 views per week with limited extra effort.

Now imagine that compounded over a year

→ you gain 150,000+ views just from recycling ♻️.

Crazy right. 🤯

Do this today and you can 4X your results. 🚀

Why This Works

Each platform has a different audience, different algorithm, and different discovery mechanism. What performs well on Instagram might not have been seen by your TikTok audience yet - even if they're interested in the exact same content.

You're not spamming. You're strategically distributing proven winners to different audiences who haven't seen it yet.

Part 3: Recycle Cross-Angle (This is Where it Gets Insane)

Remember that creative angle tag in our tracker?

This is going to multiply everything WAY more.

We just recycled content cross-platform. The next part is cross-angle.

How the Multiplication Works

Here's how it works:

⭐️ One winning idea

💅 Remade into 3 different creative angles

🤯 Across 4 platforms (with different formats - story, reel, carousel - on each)

Every winning post can create:

4 platforms × 3 creative angles = 12 assets

You can 12x your views every time you strike luck. 🎰

What's a Creative Angle?

You're probably thinking: That sounds great but - what's a creative angle? 😅

Let me break this down with a real example:

Winning idea: "3 mistakes killing your Instagram reach"

Creative angles:

Car rant - Casual, intimate delivery while driving or parked.
Sit-down "big sister advice" - Direct to camera, calm and caring.
Voiceover story - Showing B-roll of daily life while narrating the mistakes and lessons learned.

Platforms & format options:

Instagram (Reels, Stories, Carousel)
TikTok (Video)
YouTube Shorts (Video)
LinkedIn or Twitter/X (Video, Carousel)

That's 12 pieces of content from one winning idea.

Top 10 Creative Angles & Formats for Influencers In 2026

Here are the most effective creative angles to remix your winning content:

Car rant - Casual, spontaneous, high retention
Sit-down "big sister/brother advice" - Direct, caring, trust-building
Voiceover story - B-roll with narration, cinematic feel
Podcast setup - Desk/mic setup, in-depth conversational
Storytime - Narrative-driven, engaging, personal
Before & After - Transformation-focused, visual proof
My routine - Day-in-the-life, relatable, aspirational
Get ready with me - Multi-tasking content, casual teaching
Behind the scenes - Raw, authentic, insider perspective
Quick tips/rapid fire - Fast-paced, value-dense, snackable

Why Different Angles Matter

Each creative angle appeals to different audience preferences and behaviors.

Some people love the raw authenticity of a car rant. It feels spontaneous, real, like you're catching someone in an honest moment.

Others prefer the polished, caring approach of sit-down advice. It builds trust and feels more intentional.

Others connect more with story-driven voiceover content - they want context, narrative, and lifestyle integration.

By creating the same idea in multiple angles, we're not just reaching more people - we're reaching different types of people with the same core message.

And because we tagged the creative angle from the start in our tracker, we know which angle performed best on which platform. So we can optimize as we go.

The Compounding Effect Over Time

Let's play this out over a full year.

If your talent posts once per week and gets 1,000 views, that's 52,000 views per year.

If you recycle that content across 4 platforms, that's 208,000 views per year.

If you then recycle across 3 creative angles per platform, that's 624,000 views per year.

From the exact same amount of winning ideas.

That's not just more views - that's more followers, more engagement, more brand deal opportunities, and more leverage in negotiations.

For talent managers this means every viral moment becomes: ✅ Longer term relevance

✅ A turning point for consistent higher views

✅ Extended reach & followers

Bottom Line For Talent Managers

What would your talent's total views look like in 2025... if you multiplied them by 12?

And how would doing so this year - change the game for you in 2026?

This is the fastest way to grow your talents' reach instantly in 2026.

It's a surefire way to 10x their views, reach, and amplify their relevance over time. Creating a sustainable content engine that fuels growth and wins brand deals.

Finding a winner is hard. Making it work 12x harder for you? That's just smart talent management.
