Introduction: Why Turn Your Book into a Course
Are you an author with a book that’s packed with wisdom? You may have written a 220-page scent detection dog training guide or another topic you love. Did you know you can take that same book and turn it into an online course?
Online courses give your ideas new life. Instead of just being read, your book can now be seen, heard, and acted upon. Even better, your audience gets to learn more interactively. Platforms like Kajabi make it easy, and with the right design, your course can inspire thousands.
Here are 3 simple tips to help you create a course from your book:
1. Break Your Book into Modules
Think of each chapter in your book as a building block. Chapters can be turned into course modules. For example, in a dog training book, one module might cover scent basics, while another could focus on advanced practice drills. Each module should be short and easy to follow, just like a lesson plan.
2. Add Videos and Visuals
Books are powerful, but videos make learning come alive. With AI tools like Synthesia, you can create professional videos quickly, even without filming yourself. Add visuals with Canva to make slides, infographics, and checklists. This makes your course engaging and fun to follow.
3. Make It Interactive
Reading is passive, but online learning can be active. Add quizzes, reflection questions, and practice tasks. For a dog training course, learners could test their knowledge on scent cues or submit short practice logs. These small activities keep learners motivated and moving forward.

Example: Dog Training Book to Course Success
One author of a scent detection dog training book partnered with us, looking to share her 220-page guide more interactively. We took her detailed text and transformed it into a 10-module online course that was clear, engaging, and easy to follow.
Each module focused on a key skill from the basics of scent recognition to advanced training drills. We added short Synthesia-powered videos to explain concepts visually, Canva graphics and infographics to break down complex steps, and practice activities that allowed learners to apply what they learned right away.
Instead of just reading about techniques, students could watch demonstrations, answer quick reflection questions, and track their own progress with downloadable checklists. It made the learning journey practical, hands-on, and exciting.
The results were powerful: learners who once struggled with scent detection exercises now had a clear step-by-step path. Feedback poured in from students saying the course felt personal, motivating, and much easier to follow than just reading a book.
By repurposing the book into a structured course, the author expanded her reach, grew her audience, and turned her expertise into a scalable program that worked for both hobbyists and professionals.
