Reels That Actually Work: From Basics to Expert Repurposing

Reels are everywhere right now—but how do you actually make them work without spending hours stuck editing?

In this episode of Gab Sessions, I’m breaking down the same simple system I teach my clients: how to create one Reel and repurpose it across platforms so you get visibility without burnout. And here’s the best part—when you follow the steps in this episode, you’ll officially be able to call yourself an expert repurposer. 🎉

Inside this episode:

• What a Reel really is (and what it isn’t).
• The biggest misconceptions that stop people from even starting.
• The basics → advanced → expert system for using Reels strategically.
• How to repurpose one simple Reel across 3–5 platforms without extra work.
• A guided action challenge that will leave you an expert repurposer by the end of the week.

Challenge for you: Record and post one Reel on Instagram, share it to Facebook, download and repurpose it to LinkedIn—and just for fun, try TikTok or YouTube Shorts too. When you’ve done it, celebrate—you’re now an expert repurposer!

I walk my clients through this exact system all the time, because content doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to be strategic, repeatable, and aligned with your voice.

Take the next step today—and remember, I’m here to help you create your version of success.
