Why Convert Your Blog Posts into an Ebook?

This conversion process might seem like an unlikely investment, but the results can be worth the effort. Besides, the perks of a well-designed ebook cannot be overlooked when it comes to drawing readers’ attention.

Let’s look at some of the key benefits you can gain from combining your blog articles into one ebook:

  1. Making content navigation easier: Condensing your articles into one piece of content can help your readers find certain information much faster. They will be able to find the content they need without having to browse the blog.
  2. Repurposing older articles: When taking articles from your blog, you’ll likely also make use of older content. This gives you the chance to revive those old articles and make more use of them.
  3. Allowing offline access to your blog content: Ebooks are usually read offline. So, by converting your articles to an ebook, you can make your content much more accessible and convenient to read.
  4. Increasing leads and conversion rates: When you provide your audience with a free ebook, it usually takes the form of a lead magnet. As a result, you’re collecting your readers’ email addresses, which you can then send promotional emails or newsletters to.

    Thank you for this amazing resource. Is very important to expand a blog reach through ebooks too. Some people prefer reading ebook/books, rather than blog posts, therefore, I think every website owner should look into this lucrative business.

    I read your helpful article, downloaded the app, and watched the tutorial. I’d like to do a test publication with it to be sure it works, but I’m a little uncertain as to whether this app is actually free. I am not interested in working with a trial or paid software. Is there a limited number of ebooks or apps one can publish with this platform for free, for instance? I would appreciate your clarification on pricing for use of Kotobee Author. Thanks.
