The Post That Sparked Everything
Monday morning, 11:47 AM. I shared a simple three-line post on LinkedIn:
“AI won’t replace marketers. Marketers who use AI will replace marketers who don’t. The difference is happening faster than most people realize.”
I had no expectations. But by Friday, it had exploded. The post reached 156,000 views, brought in 12,847 new followers, and generated $47,000 in new business. And that was just the beginning.
Turning One Post Into Seven
The real shift happened when I asked: what if I didn’t stop at one platform? What if I reshaped that single insight to fit seven others—without copying, but adapting it natively for each one?
Here’s exactly what I did.
Instagram Carousel (8 Minutes)
I used CarouselAI to turn the post into a five-slide carousel designed for visual learners:
- Hook: Human vs. robot at a desk
- Stats: AI adoption rates in marketing
- Value: Skills that make you hard to replace
- Tools: Where to start learning
- CTA: Email signup
Result: 45,000 likes, 890 shares, 67 new subscribers
TikTok Script (12 Minutes)
Next, I converted the idea into a 60-second TikTok video. I used a custom prompt in ChatGPT to script it like this:
- Hook: “POV: Your job gets replaced by AI”
- Conflict: AI taking over routine marketing tasks
- Twist: What AI can’t do
- Solution: 3 skills that set humans apart
- CTA: Follow for more career tips
Result: 340,000 views, 23,000 likes, 890 new followers
Twitter/X Thread (5 Minutes)
I broke the post into an 8-part thread:
- Hook restating the AI insight
- Why it matters right now
- What most marketers get wrong
- Data backing the claim
- What to do instead
- Actionable first step
- What’s coming next
- CTA to follow for updates
Result: 67,000 impressions, 156 new email signups
YouTube Shorts (15 Minutes)
I wrote and recorded a YouTube Shorts video showing the shift from manual to AI-supported marketing:
- Scene 1: Overworked marketer
- Scene 2: Learns new tools
- Scene 3: Better workflow
- Scene 4: Performance spike
Text overlays told the story so it worked without sound.
Result: 89,000 views, 1,200 new subscribers
Pinterest Infographic (10 Minutes)
Using Canva and keyword tools, I built an infographic called:
“5 AI Skills Every Marketer Needs in 2025”
It included:
- Current trends
- Tool categories
- Free learning resources
Result: 156,000 views, 340 clicks to site, 89 new subscribers
Facebook Group Post (6 Minutes)
I took a conversational approach:
“Which marketing tasks do you think AI will take over? What skills do you believe are future-proof?”
I replied to every comment to deepen the thread.
Result: 23,000 engagements, 67 consulting leads
Email Newsletter (18 Minutes)
Finally, I wrote a detailed email breakdown with extra resources:
- Personal story of the viral post
- Expanded analysis
- Exclusive tips not shared elsewhere
- Invite to reply with stories
Result: 34% open rate, 8.7% click rate, 23 leads

Final Thought
Going viral isn’t the goal. But when a post resonates, don’t stop at one format. One great idea, multiplied the right way, can become a growth engine across everything you publish.
