How to Turn SaaS Blog Posts into High-Converting Video Content

Illustration of digital content marketing tools including video, blog, email, podcast, and analytics, representing SaaS strategies for repurposing blog posts into high-converting video content.

Your blog might already be doing the hard work. If you're publishing educational or problem-solving content, there's a good chance some posts are already ranking in search or getting solid engagement. But if those posts aren't moving prospects toward conversion, you're leaving impact and revenue on the table.

One of the smartest ways to close that gap? Repurpose blog posts into video content.

Start with What’s Working

Not every post deserves a video. The best starting points are:

  • Posts that rank well in Google Search Console

  • Pages that get consistent traffic but don’t convert

  • Blog content that explains a core workflow, benefit, or use case

These posts have already proven there's demand. They’re attracting your ideal audience. If your goal is to drive activation early in the customer journey, a welcome video can be a simple way to improve trial performance.

Why Video Works Better Than Text (Sometimes)

Video helps your content get consumed faster by busy decision-makers and build trust with your brand. Here’s a deeper look at five video types that support onboarding, retention, and conversions.

You're not replacing your blog. You're reinforcing what already works in a format that's easier to absorb and act on.

What Kind of Videos Can You Make?

You don’t need a full explainer. These formats work well:

1. Concept Recap or “Big Idea” Summary

Highlight the main insight in under 60 seconds. Perfect for social or quick intros.

2. Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Turn instructional content into a screen recording with voiceover. Show what to do, not just describe it.

3. Customer Quote or Use Case Overlay

If the blog includes a real-world example, layer in a testimonial clip or user quote.

4. “What You’ll Learn” Preview

Place a short preview video at the top of longer blog posts to improve time on page and completion rates.

Where to Use These Videos

Once you make them, use them everywhere:

  • Embed in blog posts

  • Share on social

  • Add to email nurture flows

  • Use in onboarding or training

  • Equip sales with quick-hit messaging
