Content Repurposing Yield Equations

Calculates the quantity of derivative content formats generated from long-form parent videos.

Total Shorts = Videos per Month × Shorts per Video
Total Blogs = Videos per Month × Blogs per Video
Total Emails = Videos per Month × Emails per Video
Total Written Posts = Videos per Month × Threads per Video
Total Repurposed Assets = Shorts + Blogs + Emails + Written Posts
Total Repurposing Cost = (Videos × Hours per Video × Hourly Rate) + (Shorts × Cost per Short)

A higher repurposing multiplier lowers the average cost of content creation per asset.
