Alex Hormozi started his content journey, by posting only 7 pieces per week for a year.
His business was growing, but it wasn't giving him significant results like he wanted..
So he decided to test out 'content repurposing', by distributing 80 pieces per week across various platforms where his target audience hangs out and it skyrocketed his growth.
Here is a breakdown of how many followers he gained according to the social media strategy talk he gave in December 2022:
Twitter followers: 10,000 to 100,000
Instagram followers: 70,000 to 350,000
YouTube Subscribers: 70,000 to 300,000
Web traffic: 0 to 90,000 net clicks per month
Podcast: 20,000 to 400,000 monthly downloads
Totalling an audience of over 1 million in just six months of using this new strategy.
It all starts with a simple Twitter post or thread. Instead of keeping notes private, Hormozi shares them directly on Twitter. By assessing the engagement of the tweet, he identifies the most engaging topics and repurposes them into short or long-form video content, and distributes it across YouTube and Instagram and other social media platforms.
For instance, take his viral tweet "Solve rich people’s problems. They pay better".
Recognizing it as one of his most successful tweets, Hormozi repurposed it into short video clips, gathering over 500k views combined.
The second clip originated from an interview snippet with Steven Bartlett on 'The Diary Of A CEO', which shows that he also repurposed this as content for Steven's podcast.
Expanding his reach further, he adapted the concept to 'how to sell to the rich', and distributed it across YouTube shorts and Instagram reels, maximizing its impact across diverse platforms.
Here are 2 more examples:
Alex claims that this strategy helped catapult his company "Acquisition" from $7 million to $13 million per month and get's him 400 new companies applying every month.
