One way that many bloggers have found of leveraging their online income is selling off my blog content in the form of ebooks. Or even writing ebooks from scratch. It works all the time. It is, however, a little cumbersome and time-intensive when I have to literally copy and paste the content from the blog URLs into a word editor and then format it into a nice ebook. A quite hassle-free way to make ebooks from existing content.
So when I heard that there is a tool to help people create ebooks right from the blog URLs and come up with great visual designs, I was literally swept off my feet. The tool is called Designrr by one Paul Clifford and believe you me, you will be excited when you see how it works.
How does Designrr work
Designrr works in an easy way that anyone can implement. All you need to do is give it your blog URL and it will copy out all the content including links, images, charts and organizational charts that you might have installed. You then pick a template to use for your ebook and format any of the content on the now new ebook design. Once you are pleased with everything, you can go right ahead and click publish to have your ebook published. Congratulations, you are now an author of an ebook!
For people who do not have blogs, they can still use the tool with the content on their word editors. Designrr helps you import the content right from your application program and you can then format it according to your preferences and hit publish.
With Designrr therefore, you are saved a lot of time and agony that you would go through trying to copy paste content, hiring graphic designers only to get crap designs and a lot of back and forth as you try to push them till they give you what you desire.
Use Designrr when you want to create a lead magnet ebook
Designrr will help you create free ebooks that you can use on your website as a lead magnet to collect emails from people who download it. How this works is that you promise people that they will get an ebook but they have to subscribe to your email list if they really want the ebook. It works all the time since it is based on the law of persuasion; a concept that is explained by Professor Robert Cialdini, a renowned marketing guru. The principle states that people who get a gift always feel indebted to return the favor. So when you ask them for their email address in return for an ebook, they will be very much willing to give it out. But when write a whole ebook when you have a blog. Just get Designrr to copy the content for you and format it into a nice email magnet.

Hi Marios
Never thought about converting blog posts to an ebook, to be honest! I’m glad that I discovered your post before considering doing that, saved me some time the future! Could you send over a link to an example of an ebook created in Designnr?
I’m alos curious about Professor Robert Cialdini, maybe you can fit some more of his teaching into a future post.
Hey Chris,
You can do a lot of things with Designrr. A demo book can be found here
I’ll research the professor more, and try to write a post regarding his techniques, views, and opinions.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Marios, a very good article I always thought that making an ebook was very complicated. Thank you for sharing this tool with us. I can not wait to create my first ebook. And the price seems very reasonable for a tool like Designrr. Thanks for sharing Marios this is fantastic.
Hey Urbano,
I agree the price is great. I will test-drive it more myself, because it is really a great tool!

I have always thought of ebooks as a cumbersome way to make money, thinking of the writing, editing and all the formatting that comes with it, blaah!
But after reading this article, wow! You’ve just gotten my imagination piqued.
I just love that this designrr is so effortless in regards to how it helps create the ebook from a blog.
This is the next project I will be working on, must surely get one ebook to boost my lead magnet.
Thanks for sharing, really very helpful.

Hey, I stumbled upon your nice post on designrr, the ebook maker. I think I am very fortunate. I used to have the view that producing ebook will be cumbersome, and only authors have the know-how. Your post has eliminated that thought. For sure I will give it a try. Thanks so much for the information.
Hey Seth,
It is true that Designrr makes creating an ebook much easier, especially if you have your material available.
Thanks for stopping by!

Good job Marios. My first 10 or so eBooks are blog posts expanded. I took like a few hundred words from posts and fleshed ’em out. Cool way to leverage and make money. Thanks for sharing.
