Robert Plank has created a great video about how to take your blog posts or articles and turn them into videos that he called “Convert 7 articles into 7 videos in 7 minutes” and he shows you how to do that using his step by step video (which is a video of his article)
I created a video using one of my blog posts at Inspirational Guidance and uploaded it.
It took me a little more than 7 minutes but practice makes perfect! Plus I added a design so it wasn’t just plain white background with black font.
The great news (not related to this at all!) is that I was able to take the embed code for the video and post it right here in the blog post. Usually you need a special plugin to do that but I just copy and paste it directly into the blog post. Life is so much easier with wordpress

Hey Diane! That video came out pretty well! It puts a smile on my face to know you tried that technique… how many minutes did video that take to make?
It was under 10 minutes but that was with me following your video and doing what you said as I went along. Plus I added the background which threw the text out a little and found a few typos in the article and had to stop to edit that!
I am going to create another one today. The exciting thing is when compared to how long I usually spend on creating videos with text this took no time at all and now I can add 4 or 5 articles, record them all and then split them up into individual videos.
I can become a regular video producing factory

Awesome, I’m excited for you!
My record is 50 videos in a day. That was before I started using this method.
Can you reuse the background for future videos? I save my PPT designs as themes so I can restore them in 2 clicks once I have the articles imported…
Once you start recording those videos in chunks of 4-5 like you said, it’ll become just as easy to record 5 videos as you do 1 video… just because you won’t have to psych yourself up for the next video, you just keep going.
As far as the video recording, I would hit record, go through the first video, hit stop, then record a new video… doing it as you go along, that way you can just batch process the videos instead of trying to split them later.
