It takes a lot of time to create long-form content, and it can be spliced and diced a million different ways into smaller pieces for different platforms. One thing I like to do is pull direct quotes from my blog and add them to templates in Canva. ![Quote text: Time blocking your to-do items should be freeing, not stifling.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c6/8b/c68b9f37-94e3-4c3c-ae12-39470811de24/content/images/2025/10/annabyang-image-example.jpeg) One of my Canva Templates If I were big on Instagram, I'd probably do more with these quote posts, but I don't put in any effort there because I find Instagram too frustrating to grow from nothing. Still, I like to vary my content on LinkedIn, so I'll publish this quote image there. Then later, I use another automation to pull the text from this image post and re-share it again as a standalone text post: [Automatically Extract Text from Canva Social PostsTurn one post into two posts.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c6/8b/c68b9f37-94e3-4c3c-ae12-39470811de24/content/images/icon/1-14.png)Tinkering With IdeasAnna Burgess Yang![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c6/8b/c68b9f37-94e3-4c3c-ae12-39470811de24/content/images/thumbnail/tinkering-with-ideas-hero-image-extract-text-1.png)](https://tinkeringwithideas.io/extract-text-social-posts/) But it all starts with getting a quote post from my blog. ## Step 1: Pull a quote from your blog post using AI I use ChatGPT, but you could use any AI tool. This is [embedded into my workflow](https://tinkeringwithideas.io/integrate-chatgpt-into-workflows/) using Zapier, but you could also add this prompt directly to ChatGPT. Here's the prompt: > *Below is a blog post I wrote. I want to put a quote from this blog post on an image that I will create in Canva. The quote post will be published to LinkedIn.* > > *Pull one standout quote from the article. The quote should be verbatim or \*very\* close to verbatim and no more than 2 sentences. The best place to look for a quote is the conclusion, followed by the introduction.* > > *If the quote starts with a word like "But" or "And" skip those words and start with the next word in the sentence. Return only the quote and nothing else.* If you're using ChatGPT directly, then add the URL of your blog post. Here are the results from a [recent blog post](https://blog.annabyang.com/financial-stability-freelancer/?ref=tinkeringwithideas.io) I wrote: ![Screenshot from ChatGPT showing the prompt added and a response](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c6/8b/c68b9f37-94e3-4c3c-ae12-39470811de24/content/images/2025/10/annabyang-pull-quotes-blog-post.png) Source: My screenshot Is the quote exact? No. It's a combination of two sentences from my conclusion: > *If I could offer one piece of financial advice for freelancers, it would be to *build your financial systems as early as possible*. (a few more sentences here) *You can't always control the ups and downs of your income, but you can control how you manage your finances* and that makes a huge difference.* As you can see, ChatGPT did a pretty good job of pulling together the main idea of my conclusion into a single quote. ## Step 2: Adding the quote to a template in Canva Next, you'll add the pulled quote to a template in Canva. I have my [virtual assistant](https://blog.annabyang.com/viritual-assistant-for-a-solo-business/?ref=tinkeringwithideas.io) do this. [Zapier](https://try.zapier.com/annabyang?ref=tinkeringwithideas.io) *\[affiliate link\]* sends the pulled quote to [Trello](https://trello.com/?ref=tinkeringwithideas.io), which is what I use to collaborate with her. She then adds the text of the quote to a Canva template and uploads the image to [Buffer](https://buffer.com/?ref=tinkeringwithideas.io), which is what I use for social media scheduling. Once the image is added to Buffer, I'll add some text to accompany the image and schedule it for one of my social media profiles. ## Step 3: Re-use the quote as a text-based post Finally, I'll re-share the quote as a standalone post later, using just the text and not the image. One quote, two different formats. I have a workflow set up that automatically extracts the text from images and sends it back to Buffer to schedule a new post. But you could also do this manually. When you schedule your image post, you can simultaneously schedule a text-based post for a future date. I would recommend at least 30 days in the future, so your content isn't too repetitive.
