A simpler way to turn your YouTube channel into a website

Updated November 2026 with what VideoToBlog does today. The reason I built it hasn't changed.

You can finish a video and still have no time left to turn it into a blog post. Between filming, editing, thumbnails, and descriptions, the written version is the first thing to go. Even with ChatGPT it's still a chore: grab the transcript, write a prompt, clean up the result, format it, and post it somewhere. Then do it again next week.

I built VideoToBlog to make that part easier. Connect your YouTube channel once, and your new uploads can become posts on a blog we host for you. In this post, I'll show you what you get and who it's for.

Start with the free converter

If you just want to try it, paste a YouTube link into the free converter. You'll get a post with a headline, an intro, proper sections, and a takeaway. You can edit it on the page and copy it into WordPress or any blog editor.

It's free for 3 posts every 48 hours, or 8 with a free account. No card needed.

There are a few free tools for the rest of your upload too: a YouTube transcript tool and title, description, and tag generators.

What the blog plan does

The blog plan is for keeping a channel blog going without copying each video over yourself:

  • A blog that's ready on day one. It lives at yourchannel.videotoblog.com, or on a domain you own.
  • New uploads, written up. Switch on automatic posts and eligible uploads become posts in your voice, within your plan's allowance. You can publish them straight away or review drafts first. Videos need an available transcript, and Shorts and long live streams are skipped by default.
  • Your old videos too. Import your back catalogue and pick which ones to write up.
  • Posts that stay linked. Older posts get links to newer ones on the same topic. Every change is saved, so you can undo it.
  • Guides that update themselves. Rankings and buying guides built from everything you've covered, refreshed when a new video adds something.
  • The pages around it. A link page for your bio, plus About and Contact pages.

It's $19 a month, or $15 a month billed yearly, for one channel and up to 25 posts a month. Extra channels are $7 a month. If you cancel, your blog stays online. The full details are on the pricing page.

Who it's for

If you make tutorials, reviews, recipes, or anything people search for, your videos already have the material for a blog. Wilderness and Whiskey, a bourbon review and outdoors channel, is a good example of what that looks like.

If you're still deciding whether you need a site at all, I wrote about that in do YouTubers need a website?

Try it on one video

The easiest way to see if it's for you is to paste one of your videos into the free converter and read what comes out. Before you publish the draft, check the names, links, and main points against the video.
