📱 Best Platforms
Upwork (search 'content repurposing' or 'video snippets' for growing demand), Fiverr (clip extraction and social media snippet gigs), LinkedIn (pitch podcasters and webinar hosts who record long content but post nothing on social).
📖 The Hustle
Podcasters, webinar hosts, and course creators record hours of content but never post clips on social media. You watch their long-form video, pull out 5-10 of the most engaging 30-90 second moments, and turn each into a standalone social clip with captions, branded intro, and CTA. Charge $100-250 per long video or $400-800/month for weekly repurposing.
🚀 First Step
Take a 30-minute podcast from YouTube, extract 3 short highlight clips in CapCut, add captions, and present them as a sample package.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Watch the long video at 1.5x speed and timestamp the moments that make you react — those are the clips that will perform on social.
- Use Opus Clip (free trial) to auto-generate clip suggestions, then manually refine the best ones for higher quality.
- Add a branded end screen with the client's logo and 'Follow for more' to every clip so views convert to followers.
