Multi-Platform Distribution
In one sentence
Adapting content on a single topic to fit each platform's format and audience habits, then publishing it across multiple channels.
Simply cross-posting the exact same article to every platform rarely works: WeChat Official Accounts favor long-form articles, Xiaohongshu (RED) favors photo-and-text notes, Douyin favors short videos, and Zhihu favors Q&As.
Track published URLs across all platforms to evaluate performance and measure AI citation rates later.
Example
Turning a 3,000-word buying guide into one long-form WeChat article, three Xiaohongshu notes, and a one-minute talking-head video.
