ContentFries Repurposing Retainer (5-7 days)

A 5-7 day sprint to productize ContentFries into a monthly retainer that turns client long-form videos into clips, blog drafts, quote cards, and thumbnails, with margin from per-credit pricing.

Prerequisites
  • Client provides access to their long-form video library (YouTube, Google Drive, or direct uploads)
  • Client brand assets: logo, color palette, font choices, and social channel handles
  • ContentFries account with a paid plan (Creator or higher) or pay-as-you-go credit pack
  • Defined posting schedule and target platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok)
  • Client approval on content pillars or topics to prioritize in the Opportunity Map
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Set up ContentFries workspace and create client-specific project folders
  • 2.Upload client brand presets (logo, colors, fonts) into the editor settings
  • 3.Connect integrations: YouTube, Google Drive, Zapier, Make, and Notion for asset flow
  • 4.Run a test video through the Opportunity Map to identify top repurposing angles
  • 1.Review Opportunity Map output for the test video and select 3-5 key moments
  • 2.Use Auto Kitchen to generate a first batch of clips, quotes, and blog draft
  • 3.Refine outputs in the visual editor: adjust captions, trim clips, and set thumbnails
  • 4.Export test assets and share with client for feedback on quality and tone
  • 1.Incorporate client feedback into editor settings and Auto Kitchen preferences
  • 2.Upload the first batch of client long-form videos (up to 5 videos) into the workspace
  • 3.Run Opportunity Map on each video to flag high-potential segments
  • 4.Trigger Auto Kitchen to generate initial asset batches for all videos
  • 1.Manually review and edit each generated clip in the visual builder
  • 2.Create quote cards and thumbnails for the top clips per video
  • 3.Draft blog posts from the AI-generated blog drafts, editing for client voice
  • 4.Organize approved assets into client-specific folders in Notion or Google Drive
  • 1.Set up Zapier or Make automation to push approved assets to client's social scheduling tool
  • 2.Create a content calendar with posting times for each platform
  • 3.Deliver the first asset bundle to client with a summary of what was produced
  • 4.Document the workflow and settings for repeatability in future months
  • 1.Train client on how to submit new videos and request changes
  • 2.Set up a monthly review cadence and feedback loop in Notion
  • 3.Prepare a monthly report template tracking asset counts and engagement metrics
  • 4.Finalize the retainer scope and pricing with the client
  • 1.Run a final quality check on all delivered assets against client brand guidelines
  • 2.Hand off the first month's deliverables and confirm client satisfaction
  • 3.Schedule the next month's video intake and processing dates
  • 4.Update internal SOPs with learnings from this onboarding sprint
USD 39 to 99 per month for Creator or Pro plans, or pay-as-you-go credits at $0.077 to $0.10 per credit; typical monthly usage for 5 videos might cost $50 to $150 in credits.5-7 days
ROI Logic

With a $499/mo retainer and tool costs around $50-$150 in credits plus $39-$99 subscription, gross margin lands between 60% and 80%. The per-credit pricing allows you to stack margin by charging per asset or per video, while the automation reduces manual editing hours from 20+ to under 5 per client.

Deliverables
  • ContentFries workspace configured with client brand presets and integrations
  • First month asset bundle: 8-12 clips, 4-6 quote cards, 2-3 blog drafts, and thumbnails per video
  • Automated workflow using Zapier or Make to push assets to social schedulers
  • Content calendar with posting schedule for each platform
  • Monthly report template tracking asset production and engagement
Definition of Done

The client has received their first month of repurposed assets, the workflow is automated and documented, and the retainer is set up for recurring monthly delivery.
