YouTube to blog post

Step 1 — Extract the full transcript

Paste the video URL on the homepage and hit Extract. You get the complete text with timestamps, usually in a few seconds. Copy the plain-text version — the timestamped version is only useful if you plan to link back to specific moments in the video.

Step 2 — Clean the spoken-word noise

Spoken language repeats itself. Strip filler ("so", "you know", "basically"), collapse restarts into one sentence, and delete the intro/outro housekeeping ("smash that like button"). What remains is the actual argument of the video.

Step 3 — Generate the outline with AI

Open the summarizer and ask for a blog outline rather than a summary. A prompt that works well:

Turn this transcript into a blog outline:
- one H1 headline (under 60 characters)
- 5-7 H2 sections in logical order
- 2-3 bullet points under each H2 using
  the speaker's own examples and numbers

Step 4 — Expand, don't paraphrase

Write each section from the outline, pulling the concrete details — figures, tool names, step counts — straight from the transcript. Quote the creator directly for the one or two strongest lines; that keeps the article grounded and gives you something to pull as a social snippet.

Step 5 — Make it a page Google can rank

• Embed the original video near the top and credit the creator.
• Add screenshots for any step the video demonstrates visually.
• Write a unique title and meta description — don't reuse the video title verbatim.
• Link internally to related articles on your own site.

A note on copyright

Repurpose your own videos freely. For someone else's video, write an original article based on the ideas, quote sparingly with attribution, and link back to the source — don't publish the transcript verbatim as your own post.
