Introduction
Have you ever looked at your book and thought, “This could teach even more people if it were a course”?
If you’re an author, your words already carry knowledge and experience. But today, readers want more than just text. They want videos, interactive lessons, and guided learning experiences. That’s where Kajabi comes in.
Kajabi is one of the top platforms for creating online courses. It helps you deliver your book’s wisdom in a format that learners love. In fact, 80% of online learners say they prefer video-based courses over text-only content. By repurposing your book into a Kajabi course, you can reach more learners, create a deeper impact, and even open new income streams.
At TheEduAssist.com, we’ve helped authors turn their books into full Kajabi courses. For example, one client had a 220-page scent detection dog training book. With our help, they turned it into a six-week Kajabi course packed with videos, visuals, and quizzes. The result? Higher engagement, more enrollments, and a new way to grow their brand.
So, if you’ve been wondering how to create an online course from your book, let’s dive in.
Step 1: Structure Your Content into Modules
Your book is likely written in chapters. But online courses work better when content is split into modules and lessons.
Here’s how to do it:
- Break down chapters into themes.
For example, if your book has 12 chapters, you might create 6 modules, each with 2 lessons.
- Keep lessons short.
Learners prefer 5–10 minute lessons. Break long content into bite-sized parts.
- Add learning outcomes.
Instead of “Chapter 3: Training Basics,” rename it “Lesson: How to Build a Strong Foundation in Dog Training.”
👉 Pro Tip: At TheEduAssist.com, we use proven instructional design methods to reshape book chapters into learner-friendly modules. It saves time and makes your content more engaging.
Step 2: Add Engaging Multimedia
A book is mostly text. But a course should mix video, visuals, and activities.
- Videos: Use Synthesia, an AI video tool, to create professional lessons even without recording yourself. Just paste your script, and Synthesia generates a realistic video presenter.
- Visuals: Tools like Canva make it easy to design lesson slides, infographics, and workbooks.
- Quizzes and downloads: Add short quizzes after each module and include PDFs, checklists, or templates.
📊 Stat to remember: Courses with quizzes have 50% higher completion rates than those without.
👉 Pro Tip: Use your book’s diagrams or charts as course visuals. Canva lets you redesign them for modern, learner-friendly styles.
Step 3: Refine Scripts with AI Tools
When turning book chapters into videos, you’ll need scripts. But writing scripts from scratch can be tough.
Here’s how to make it easier:
- Use your book’s text as a base script.
- Run it through Claude, an AI tool, to shorten, clarify, and make it conversational.
- Keep sentences simple, since spoken lessons should be easier to follow than written pages.
It ensures your course feels natural, engaging, and easy to understand.
👉 Pro Tip: Reading from a book doesn’t translate well into video. Instead, repurpose key points into short, engaging teaching scripts.
Step 4: Build and Launch on Kajabi
Kajabi is more than just a hosting platform. It helps you:
- Upload videos, visuals, and quizzes.
- Organize modules into a professional course structure.
- Set up payments, sales pages, and marketing funnels.
- Track student progress and engagement.

Step 5: Add Interactive and Supportive Elements
Online learners want more than passive videos. Add elements that keep them engaged:
- Quizzes and worksheets to reinforce learning.
- Discussion boards or community groups for peer learning.
- Certificates of completion to motivate students.
Stat to remember: Learners are 60% more likely to finish a course when interactive features are included.
👉 Pro Tip: Create a simple “Course Checklist” PDF that students can download and follow along. It makes the learning journey more structured.
