YouTube partners with Repurpose.io to streamline content sharing across social media platforms.

YouTube looks to be capitalising on the uncertain future of TikTok in the US by rolling out an easy way for creators to share their TikTok and Instagram Reels content to YouTube Shorts. YouTube has partnered with Repurpose.io, a tool that easily allows content creators to reshare content across platforms.

Shorts is now YouTube’s fastest growing content segment, generating 70 billion daily views. YouTube clearly sees an opportunity to position itself as the dominant short-video platform. This integration could be a game-changer for creators as it allows them to expand their reach across multiple platforms with minimal effort.

What is Repurpose.io & how does it work?

Repurpose.io is an automation tool that simplifies cross-posting, letting creators seamlessly publish their existing and future short-form videos from TikTok and Instagram Reels directly to YouTube Shorts. You can transfer up to five videos per day, with built-in scheduling tools to ensure users can post at optimal times without manual effort.

Beyond YouTube Shorts, Repurpose.io supports multiple platforms including Facebook and LinkedIn. The tool optimises content for each specific platform, helping creators to establish a strong presence across all social media channels.

Why social media matters for musicians & creators

For artists and industry professionals, building your online presence across multiple platforms is crucial for discovery and engagement– helping you to cultivate a loyal audience of fans. YouTube Shorts’ large viewership presents a valuable opportunity to tap into a massive audience.

Why short-form videos are important beyond social media platforms

By automating content distribution, musicians can:

  • Increase visibility without additional content creation.
  • Save time by repurposing existing videos instead of manually re-uploading them.
  • Reach new audiences who primarily engage with YouTube Shorts.

As platforms continue to evolve, diversifying your content strategy ensures you’re not reliant on one algorithm or social media platform for exposure.
