Turn your course modules into companion books
VidBook for course creators converts your YouTube course modules, masterclass recordings, and tutorial series into companion books, workbooks, and KDP-ready paperbacks. Students get a tangible reference, completion rates climb, and you add a paid asset on Amazon for $9 to $29 per copy. The same multi-agent pipeline that grounds chapters in the source transcript also gives you a workbook variant with exercises and reflection prompts.
Why modules are perfect source material
Course creators leak revenue on completion. A companion book improves completion (tangible artifact) and adds a stand-alone product line on Amazon KDP without recording anything new.
What you can build
- Convert a 12-module course into a single companion paperback.
- Spin each module into a $9 standalone ebook on Amazon KDP.
- Generate a workbook variant with exercises tied to each module.
- Build a free chapter-1 PDF as a top-of-funnel magnet for the paid course.
What you can verify
- Companion book ready in hours, not the typical 8-week ghostwriting cycle.
- Workbook version generated from the same transcript at no extra cost.
- KDP, Apple Books, Google Play Books, and Kobo distribution from one export.
- Inline editor lets you swap module-specific references for book-friendly phrasing.

Turn your course modules — questions, answered
Will the companion book duplicate the course or add new value?+
It transposes the course into reading format with a structural rewrite. Chapters reorganize the lessons into a narrative arc, add introductions and chapter takeaways, and strip the conversational filler that belongs in video but distracts in text. Students get the same content in a higher-leverage form.
Can I sell the companion book on Amazon KDP while the course is still active?+
Yes. They serve different intent: the course is the deep instructional experience, the book is the reference and pre-purchase taster. Many creators price the book at $9-19 (top-of-funnel, signals quality) and the course at $297+ (back-end conversion). The book often outsells competing standalone books in the same niche.
What if my course is 20+ hours across 30+ modules?+
Generate one book per module or one consolidated book — your choice. The Creator plan ($49/mo, 180 credits) handles roughly 25 books/month so a full 30-module course converts in a couple of months part-time. Bigger creators use Pro ($99/mo, 440 credits, ~62 books/month).
Does the companion book come with the workbook exercises?+
The inline editor lets you add reflection prompts and exercises after generation. The pipeline produces a clean manuscript; the exercise overlay is a manual one-time edit because exercises depend on your specific pedagogy. Future versions may add an automatic workbook variant.
