How to Launch an AI-Powered YouTube Shorts Repurposing Service

Transform long-form YouTube videos into viral short-form content using AI — and sell the results as a done-for-you monthly package.

Why This Works

Creators want more content output, more reach, and more engagement — without filming more. YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels are exploding in reach, and this service helps clients multiply their content without extra effort. AI now makes it fast and efficient.

Ideal Clients

• YouTubers with 1–2 long videos per week and no time to repurpose
• Podcasters who record full interviews or webinars
• Course creators, coaches, and consultants growing their audience
• Agencies wanting a white-label repurposing partner

Tools You’ll Use

• Opus Clip: Automatically finds and clips viral segments from long videos
• CapCut or Descript: Add captions, music, jump cuts, transitions
• ChatGPT: Write short, punchy titles and engaging CTAs
• Frame.io or Google Drive: Deliver weekly content to clients cleanly

Your Service Packages

• Starter ($149/month): 4 Shorts/week, one input video
• Pro ($299/month): 8 Shorts/week, light edits + content calendar
• Agency ($499+): Custom volume + brand kits + folder automation

Workflow Overview

1. Client submits a long-form video (YouTube link or upload)
2. You run it through Opus Clip or manually clip it
3. Edit the best parts into 9:16 format (shorts) with captions, hooks, branding
4. Use ChatGPT to write scroll-stopping titles and CTA overlays
5. Deliver via Google Drive or Frame.io folders each week

Marketing & Lead Gen

• DM creators with growing audiences who don’t post Shorts
• Make a few “before/after” repurposed video samples
• Build a simple Notion or Carrd landing page with examples and pricing
• Offer a free trial clip to spark engagement
• Post transformations on LinkedIn, X, and YouTube — tag clients if public

Positioning Tips

• Call this “content multiplication” — not editing
• Emphasize consistency, engagement growth, and hands-off experience
• Bundle with video publishing or analytics insights (for higher tiers)
