Blog to Podcast

If you’ve ever stared at your blog thinking, “This deserves more ear balls than eye balls,” you’re not alone – well, in the usage of ear balls, at least you have me. Let’s chat blog to podcast automation.

Welcome to the era where blog content isn’t just read; it’s heard, seen, and shared across every corner of the internet. Let’s talk about converting blogs into podcasts automatically. Spoiler alert: this is the automation hack every blogger dreams of, especially if you’re also repurposing content as videos for social media platforms.

So, you wanna convert your blogs to a podcast eh? My friend, you have come to the right place. We have a WordPress plugin that’ll do exactly that. And much more.

First. Let’s get on the same page. What do we mean by Blog to Podcast?

Blog to Podcast is exactly what it sounds like: transforming your written blog posts into audio files. This isn’t a clunky robot voice reading your words; with modern text to speech tech, it’s a sleek, natural-sounding voice narrating your brilliance.

Your blog becomes a podcast episode that people can stream while doing their daily tasks. It’s about convenience, accessibility, and connecting with audiences where they are—literally.

On the same page now? In 4 bullet points, let’s see why it’s bloody brilliant.

Why It’s Brilliant

1. Accessibility: Podcasts make your content more accessible to people with visual impairments or reading difficulties.
2. Wider Reach: Not everyone has time to read, but everyone loves a good listen. You can reach commuters, gym-goers, and those who prefer audio over text.
3. Repurposing Content: Stretch the lifespan of your blogs by transforming them into another medium. Why settle for one format when you can have two?
4. Boosts Engagement: Your audience spends more time with your content when they can listen to it during their downtime.

Why Automated Blog-to-Podcast Conversion is Pure Gold

Automation is like that reliable friend who helps you multitask while you binge-watch your favourite series. By turning your blog content into podcast episodes, you’re doing three glorious things:

1. Reaching New Audiences: People who won’t read a 2,000-word blog (their loss) might gladly listen to it while commuting.
2. Boosting SEO: More content formats mean more chances for your keywords to hit the jackpot with search engines.
3. Scaling Like a Pro: Got a blog? Great. Now you’ve got a podcast, a video podcast, and social media posts—all from the same piece. That’s content marketing brilliance, folks.

Blog to Video…and Podcast? One Plugin to Rule Them All

Enter Blog to Video, the WordPress plugin that not only converts your blogs into videos but also creates an audio podcast for you. Yes, it’s the Beyoncé (without any Diddy interference) of automation tools. Here’s how it works:

• Converts blogs into high-quality videos with voice overs.
• Automatically publishes these videos to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
• Creates audio files for your blogs that is automatically distributed as podcast episodes.

Unlike other tools that require manual uploads and tweaking (ugh, effort), Blog to Video lets you write your blog and walk away. It’s like magic but nerdier and way more lucrative.

Blog to Podcast Use Cases

1. Entrepreneurs: Share your expertise in podcast form and establish yourself as a thought leader.
2. Educators: Transform educational blogs into audio lectures. Who says learning can’t happen on a treadmill?
3. Content Marketers: Double-dip on SEO by offering your content in both written and audio formats.
4. Lifestyle Bloggers: Let readers-turned-listeners hear your musings on the go.

Why Blog to Video Deserves Your Attention

• Repurposing Done Right: From blog to podcast to video, it’s an all-in-one powerhouse.
• Monetization Opportunities: Add ads to your podcast content or videos, and suddenly your words are making money while you sleep.
• AI Voices and TTS: The plugin uses text-to-speech tech to create professional-sounding podcasts, no cringey robot voices here.
• Podcast Hosting Platforms: Whether you’re on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Podbean, this tool has you covered.

Pro tip: It’s also perfect for beginners in the podcast game, offering a user-friendly way to dive into audio content without the nightmare of audio editing.

Other Noteworthy Tools

While Blog to Video reigns supreme, here are a few other options to consider:

1. Podbean: Great for hosting and monetising your new podcast, but it doesn’t do the conversion for you.
2. Descript: Excellent for editing and transcription, though you’ll still need to create your content.
3. Anchor: Free and user-friendly for beginners, but limited when it comes to automation and scaling.

Still, these tools lack the seamless integration and hands-free magic of Blog to Video. We put the sass in SaaS.

How to Get Started (Step-by-Step)

1. Install Blog to Video on your WordPress site.
2. Write your blog as usual (or revive those dusty blog articles in your archives).
3. Watch (sounds creepy) as the plugin transforms your blog content into podcast episodes, videos, and more.
4. Automatically get podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and beyond.
5. Bask in the glow of being an SEO and content creation genius.

Configuration Galore

Blog to Video will also convert your blogs into videos and publish them as video podcasts to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. It even publishes YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels for maximum distribution.

Publish by Category

If you have multiple categories, for example: Technical SEO and another one called SEO News. You can select just your SEO News to be published as Podcasts and your Technical SEO category to be published as videos.

Your audience will get unique content on various mediums. Also, you can write in different styles for each category knowing the medium they would be converted into.

So, wanna jump in? Is your heart racing? Could be the Taco Bell, could be excitement. Let’s go. Get the Plugin.

Converting blogs into podcasts and videos isn’t just a clever marketing strategy; it’s the ultimate hack for content creators aiming to scale. With tools like Blog to Video, you can repurpose your blogs into engaging podcast content, shareable videos, and more—all while sipping your coffee.
