How I saved $30K in marketing cost, now giving it away as a SaaS

I wanted to turn my blog posts into videos.

Editors wanted $30K.

So I started looking for alternatives.

The problem:

My SEO traffic had plateaued.

Most growth was happening on social platforms — and those platforms prefer video.

Meanwhile, my best blog posts were just sitting there.

Thousands of words.

Research.

Stories.

All stuck in blog format.

Turning them into videos sounded obvious.

Until I checked the cost.

What I tried:

Editors — $300–$1,000 per video.

For ~50 blog posts, that’s $15K–$50K.

Freelancers — cheaper, but inconsistent.

AI video tools — generic stock footage, robotic scripts that didn’t sound like me.

Most of them didn’t actually convert blogs into videos.

They just generated random clips from a prompt.

That’s when I realized the real issue.

The problem wasn’t creating videos.

The problem was faithfully translating a blog into video format.

Not rewriting it.
Not replacing it.
Just adapting it.

So I decided to build a tool for that.
