How to Use Comment Rocket to Rewrite & Repurpose Top-Performing Content

The secret to infinite content ideas isn't "creativity." It's repurposing.

Every day, thousands of posts go viral on LinkedIn. These posts are data points. They tell you exactly what the market wants to read.

If you are starting from a blank page every morning, you are playing the game on "Hard Mode."

Comment Rocket's new "Rewrite" feature allows you to take any top-performing post and instantly reimagine it for your own audience, tone, and niche.

Here is the complete, step-by-step guide to using this tool to fill your content calendar for months.

Phase 1: The Hunt (Finding High-Performance Content)

Before you rewrite, you must find content worth rewriting. Not all viral posts are good candidates.

What to Look For

You want "Evergreen Frameworks." These are posts that share a specific lesson, list, or observation that can be applied to different industries.

Avoid:

  • Personal News: "I just got married!" (You can't rewrite this).
  • Company Announcements: "We raised Series A!" (Irrelevant to you).
  • Highly Specific Rants: "My barista messed up my order."

Look For:

  • "How-To" Guides: Steps to achieve a result.
  • Contrarian Opinions: "Why X is actually Y."
  • Lists/Checklists: "10 tools for X."
  • Mindset Shifts: "Stop thinking like an employee, start thinking like a founder."

Using Comment Rocket to Find Them

  1. Open the "Discovery" tab in Comment Rocket.
  2. Set the filter to "Top Posts" (Last 30 Days).
  3. Enter a broad keyword like "Marketing," "Sales," or "Productivity."
  4. Scroll until you see a post with high engagement (500+ likes) but simple structure.

Phase 2: The Rewrite Action

Once you've found a winner, it's time to make it yours.

Step 1: Activate the Tool

Hover over the post in your Comment Rocket feed. You will see a "Magic Wand" icon next to the "Comment" button. Click it.

Select "Rewrite This Post" from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Select Your "Angle"

Comment Rocket doesn't just spin words; it changes the perspective. You will be asked to choose an "Angle" for the rewrite. This is crucial.

Here are your options and when to use them:

1. The "Contrarian" Angle (High Virality)

  • What it does: Takes the original point and flips it.
  • When to use: When you disagree with the premise, or when you think the advice is too generic.
  • Example:
    • Original: "You need to wake up at 5 AM to be successful."
    • Contrarian Rewrite: "Waking up at 5 AM is a recipe for burnout. Here is why I sleep until 8 AM and make more money."

2. The "Niche Down" Angle (High Conversion)

  • What it does: Keeps the structure but changes the target audience.
  • When to use: When you see a generic advice post (e.g., for "Business Owners") and want to tailor it to your specific niche (e.g., "SaaS Founders").
  • Example:
    • Original: "5 tips for better sales calls."
    • Niche Rewrite: "5 tips for closing Enterprise SaaS deals without a sales team."

3. The "Simplify" Angle (High Save Rate)

  • What it does: Condenses a long story or complex explanation into a punchy, skimmable list.
  • When to use: When the original post is a "wall of text" that hides a simple gem.
  • Example:
    • Original: A 500-word story about learning to code.
    • Simplify Rewrite: "I spent 500 hours learning Python. Here is the 80/20 roadmap to learn it in 50 hours."

4. The "Storyteller" Angle (High Engagement)

  • What it does: Takes a dry list of facts and wraps a narrative around them.
  • When to use: When the original is boring but useful.
  • Example:
    • Original: "3 reasons to use email marketing."
    • Storyteller Rewrite: "I almost shut down my business last year. Then I sent one email that generated $10k. Here is what I wrote."

Step 3: The AI Generation

Click "Generate Draft." In 5-10 seconds, Comment Rocket analyzes the semantic structure of the original post and rebuilds it using your chosen angle.

Phase 3: The Human Polish (Crucial Step)

Do not just hit publish.

AI gets you 80% of the way there. The final 20%—the "Human Polish"—is what makes the post feel authentic.

The "I.C.E." Editing Framework

Run your generated draft through this 3-step check:

1. I - Inject Personality Add a personal detail. Mention your specific job title, a recent client interaction, or a tool you actually use.

  • AI Draft: "Many clients struggle with this."
  • Your Edit: "My client, a Series B fintech founder, struggled with this last Tuesday."

2. C - Cut the Fluff AI loves adjectives ("game-changing," "revolutionary," "crucial"). Delete them. Be direct.

  • AI Draft: "It is absolutely crucial to leverage the power of networking."
  • Your Edit: "Network or die."

3. E - Engage the Reader Add a question at the end to spark debate in the comments.

  • Your Edit: "Do you agree, or am I crazy? Let me know below."

Phase 4: Scheduling & Distribution

Once your post is polished:

  1. Click "Add to Queue".
  2. Comment Rocket's "Smart Schedule" will pick the best time (based on your audience's history) to post it.
  3. Bonus: The tool will automatically generate the "First Comment" with a link to your newsletter or lead magnet.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. The "Lazy Copy"

If you don't change the angle or the niche, you aren't repurposing; you're just copying. Always add value. If the original was a 7/10, your rewrite must be a 9/10.

2. Ignoring the Hook

The first line is the most important part of the post. Even if the AI writes a good hook, try to beat it. Use "Power Words" (e.g., "Stole," "Destroyed," "Secret," "Lied").

3. Forgetting Credit (Optional but Polite)

If you are heavily inspired by a specific creator, tag them! "Inspired by a great post from @Name." This often gets them to comment on your post, boosting your reach to their audience.

The 15-Minute Daily Routine

Here is how to fit this into your busy day:

  • 09:00 AM: Log in to Comment Rocket.
  • 09:05 AM: Scroll "Top Posts" and find one winner.
  • 09:07 AM: Click "Rewrite" -> Choose "Niche Down" angle.
  • 09:10 AM: Spend 5 minutes polishing (The I.C.E. Framework).
  • 09:15 AM: Schedule for tomorrow morning.

Done. You just created a high-probability viral post in the time it takes to drink a coffee.
