Playbook: Course or Tutorial to Blog Series
Turn a video course (or a single tutorial) into a written blog series, lead magnet, or knowledge base.
What you’ll get
Section titled “What you’ll get”- One blog post per video lesson
- Searchable transcripts (great for SEO)
- Social posts to drive traffic to each lesson
The flow
Section titled “The flow”1. Upload all lessons to a single folder
Section titled “1. Upload all lessons to a single folder”Create a folder in the dashboard sidebar (e.g., “Course: Email Marketing 101”), then upload each lesson MP4 into it. Keeping them grouped makes batch operations easier.
2. Set a custom blog prompt
Section titled “2. Set a custom blog prompt”In Settings → Blog Prompt, write something like:
“Write as part of a how-to course. Lead with the lesson goal in one sentence. Use H2 headings for major steps and code blocks for any commands. End with a ‘Next lesson’ teaser.”
This enforces a consistent format across every blog post in the series.
3. Add course-specific vocabulary
Section titled “3. Add course-specific vocabulary”Add product names, tool names, and technical terms once. They’ll apply to every video processed afterward.
4. Process each lesson
Section titled “4. Process each lesson”Upload and start processing. With consistent settings, every lesson lands in the same format.
5. Edit and publish
Section titled “5. Edit and publish”The blog editor lets you:
- Reorder sections
- Add screenshots from the video
- Embed the original video at the top
- Add internal links to the next/previous lesson
6. Bundle as a lead magnet
Section titled “6. Bundle as a lead magnet”Once all posts are written, copy/paste into a Doc or Notion and export as PDF. Use this as a gated lead magnet on your site.
SEO bonus
Section titled “SEO bonus”- Transcripts are indexable text. Publish them on your site (or in a knowledge-base section) for long-tail search traffic.
- Use chapter titles as internal H2s for richer page structure.
- Embed the original video for engagement metrics.
- Consistency matters more than perfection. A custom blog prompt with consistent voice beats hand-editing each post.
- Process lessons in order so internal “previous/next” links are easier to wire up.
- Audit one lesson before doing all 20. Make sure the prompt is producing what you want before bulk processing.
