A Simple AI System to Turn Every YouTube Short Into 3 LinkedIn Posts
Repurpose your video content effortlessly. Automatically transcribe your YouTube Shorts and turn them into high-engagement LinkedIn text posts using AI.
Table of Contents
Creating content is hard.
Repurposing content should be easy.
If you spend 2 hours making a YouTube Short, you shouldn't spend another hour writing a LinkedIn post about it.
The video is the content. You just need to change the format.
The Goal: Upload Video -> Get 3 LinkedIn Drafts automatically.The Workflow
Step 1: The Trigger
* Make.com Trigger: YouTube > Watch Videos.
* Channel ID: Your channel.
Step 2: The Transcript
You can't repurpose what you can't read.
* Module: YouTube > Get Captions (or use an external tool if captions aren't auto-generated yet).
Step 3: The AI Ghostwriter
We want 3 angles from one video.
* Prompt:
> "I have a transcript of a video about {{Title}}.
> Transcript: {{Transcript}}
>
> Write 3 LinkedIn Posts based on this:
> 1. The Story: A personal narrative style.
> 2. The List: A '5 Tips' style listicle.
> 3. The Contrarian: A 'Why everyone is wrong about X' style.
>
> Formatting: Use short lines. No hashtags."
In practice, this approach transforms the way you handle daily tasks. Instead of getting bogged down in details, you can focus on the high-level strategy while the system handles the execution. Many solopreneurs find that this shift alone saves them hours of mental energy every week.
Step 4: The Storage
Don't auto-post. AI can be weird.
Save them as drafts.
* Module: Notion > Create Database Item.
* Name: {{Title}} - LinkedIn Drafts
* Content: {{AI_Output}}
* Status: "To Review"
The Result
You upload a video on Monday.
On Tuesday, you open Notion.
You have 3 written posts ready to go.
You tweak one sentence, add a selfie, and hit post.
You just got 4 pieces of content for the price of 1.
Conclusion
The "Content Hamster Wheel" is only exhausting if you create everything from scratch.
Smart creators create Source Material (video/audio) and then use automation to splinter it into everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I post the video file too?
Yes! You can have Make.com download the video file from YouTube and upload it to LinkedIn as a native video. However, text posts often get better reach on LinkedIn, so we recommend testing both.
Does this work for long-form videos?
Yes, but you'll need to adjust the prompt. For a 20-minute video, ask the AI to 'Extract 3 distinct insights and write a post about each', rather than summarizing the whole thing.
Can I schedule them?
Yes. Instead of posting immediately, save the drafts to a Notion Content Calendar or a Buffer queue. This lets you space them out over the week.
What about Twitter threads?
Same logic! Just change the prompt to 'Write a Twitter thread' and use the Twitter module. One video can feed your entire social ecosystem.
