• Re-upload high-performing content from 60-90+ days ago without changes, ensuring it's still relevant and using the original high-quality file. 8:57
• Repurpose successful older content by creating new videos with similar validated hook structures, adapting them into a "version 2.0." 10:28

• Enhance stitched content by incorporating an unexpected twist, an unpopular opinion, or a seamless transition to increase watch time and engagement. 12:14
• Consider tagging the original creator as a collaborator for stitched content if their target audience demographics align with yours. 12:55
• Use the "photo as a reel" strategy sparingly to avoid being flagged by Instagram for overusing a tactic that was previously exploited. 15:20
