How to Convert a Blog Post into an Ebook

Designrr is a popular ebook creator software using which users can create ebooks from their existing published content like blog articles, videos, old PDFs, podcasts, Google documents, Word documents, and more. It is a web-based tool which means you can use it on platforms like Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu. You just need a working internet connection to work with Designrr.

Designrr also offers hundreds of templates to design your ebook. These templates are fully customizable. Using the Designrr editor, you can add your logos, fonts, images, backgrounds, and links. You can even add a table of contents, page numbers, call-to-action buttons, set margins & padding, etc.

If you don’t have existing content even then you can use Designrr to create ebooks. You can write content for the ebook yourself or you can use the AI tool offered by Designrr called Wordgenie to write the content for you. This AI tool is based on ChatGPT and can easily write 2000 to 10000 words of ebook content on any niche or topic.

The Designrr pricing plan is based on a subscription model. Its monthly subscription plan starts at $29 per month (for the Standard plan) and goes up to $99 per month. But you can also get its Standard Plan ($29/month) by claiming the Designrr lifetime deal by paying a one-time fee of only $27 using the link below.

To learn more about the plans offered by Designrr, visit this link – Designrr Pricing Plans. As a disclaimer, I want to point out that a couple of years ago I bought the Designrr Standard Plan at only $27 by claiming its lifetime deal. The Standard Plan allows you to create ebooks in PDF format only. For other formats like EPUB, Kindle, HTML, and Live Ebook, you would need to subscribe to the higher-tier plan. For most users, the Standard plan would suffice as you can download your created ebooks in PDF and also as a flipbook.
