Here are 4 channels to explore in the process of converting your blog posts into videos:

1. Use Microsoft PowerPoint


If you haven’t got an experience in making videos, turning a blog post into a quality video is your best alternative and creating a slideshow is one of the easiest ways to achieve that. You can come up with a slideshow and have it turned into an awesome video using Microsoft PowerPoint.

Start with a caption/presentation normally. Use your blog post text, subheadings and paragraphs while adding new slides. Add animation effects and images to your slides.

Once you’ve completed your slideshow, click on File, save and send, and then click the “Create a Video” button. You can then choose a video quality and have your slideshow exported as a video. It’s as simple as that.

2. Use an Online Tool

If you would prefer a different channel to making your video or you do not have PowerPoint, you have numerous online tools to leverage at your disposal in converting your blog posts into videos. One of the most prominent video creation tools online is Lumen5.

When it comes to utilizing a novice-friendly video creation tool, Lumen5 helps you turn the posts on your blog into amazing, quality and traffic-driving videos in minutes with little or no effort on your side.

The most awesome thing about this tool is that you don’t need to compose a script. It’s an AI-powered video making tool that will help grab the main points automatically from your blog posts and get them added to the video in a matter of minutes.

Lumen5 has a free plan and it lets you come up with videos utilizing the posts on your blog and get them exported in 480p quality. When making the videos, you can use your own custom brand colors and logo.

Leveraging Lumen5 to convert blog posts into videos has never been easier even though it has restrictions. For instance, the free plan automatically adds Lumen5 branding to the created videos and you may not customize the video effects used in Lumen5.

You can search for freelancers on Fiverr or Upload. Talk to some of them to see what they charge to do the work for you.

Thanks for asking, Rubanzema! Yes, Laura has you covered in her response to your question. There are a ton of experienced and professional freelancers on Fiverr that can assist with converting your blog posts into awesome YouTube videos for five bucks or a bit higher. And if you are willing to do that yourself, it's more than possible by sheepishly following this training. Thanks for getting back!
