    YouTube → LinkedIn Post Converter

    Transforms long YouTube videos into high-engagement LinkedIn posts using AI-driven rewriting and a proven storytelling format.

    Problem Statement

    Turning long YouTube videos into powerful LinkedIn posts normally takes a lot of work: Watching long videos, Extracting the key idea, Writing a strong hook, Simplifying the message, Making it conversational, Adding a CTA, Ensuring the post performs well on mobile. Clients struggled with slow manual repurposing, inconsistent quality, posts that were too long or too formal, and difficulty maintaining posting frequency. They needed a system that could take any video transcript and automatically generate scroll-stopping LinkedIn posts in minutes.

    The Solution

    Automation Overview

    We built a complete workflow that reads YouTube transcripts and transforms them into high-impact LinkedIn posts using a hook → story → CTA format. The output feels human, conversational, and optimized for social platforms — especially mobile.

    Transcript Extraction (from YouTube)

    The workflow starts by pulling the video transcript from a Google Sheet entry (usually from our Transcript Generator workflow). It cleans the transcript to remove timestamps, filler text, break markers, and repeated phrases, giving the AI a clean base to work with.

    AI Topic Identification

    The system uses AI to detect the core theme of the video, key insights, and the strongest takeaway for social media. This ensures the LinkedIn post focuses on a single, high-impact idea.

    Hook → Story → CTA Structure

    Every LinkedIn post follows a proven high-engagement structure: Hook (Bold opening to stop scrolling), Story (Conversational explanation extracted from transcript), and CTA (Soft prompt encouraging engagement). This mirrors what top creators use daily.

    Natural, Human-Sounding Rewrite

    AI rewrites the content to sound conversational, engaging, mobile-friendly, short, and punchy. It ensures the tone is free of robotic phrasing, heavy jargon, or bulky paragraphs.

    Mobile Optimization Logic

    The workflow ensures short lines, no long paragraphs, natural spacing, strong scannability, and a “swipe-friendly” rhythm. This makes posts perform much better on mobile devices.

    Output to Google Sheets

    For each processed video, the workflow writes the finished LinkedIn post, topic summary, status markers, and error logs into a Google Sheet. This becomes a content bank ready for scheduling.
