If you’re like most WordPress site owners, you’ve been creating content for years. Your archive overflows with insightful posts and well-researched articles your audience genuinely loves.
However, content has a tendency to fade into obscurity. New posts push older ones down. Search algorithms favor fresh content. That brilliant 3,000-word piece you wrote on the subject of nature photography as a hobby? Unless someone specifically searches for it, it’s going to be forgotten.
The Content Creator’s Challenge
Only 38% of bloggers are updating older articles, despite the fact that bloggers who update older content are 2.5x more likely to report strong results.
Meanwhile, many in your audience will have realized the importance of long-form content. We’ve all loved the immersive experience provided by beautifully compiled eBooks as a welcome break from the endless dopamine hits from short, disorganized information spread across countless posts.
It is no surprise that the global eBook market reached $18.02 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $22.76 billion by 2030 at a 4.78% CAGR, driven largely by readers seeking depth over scattered information. (Source: Mordor Intelligence).
My Realization
The challenge became crystal clear to me while working for a content-heavy non-profit organization’s website. We had years of valuable content, and educational materials scattered across hundreds of blog posts. Constantly, we needed to package this content into PDFs for community outreach.
The manual process was exhausting, requiring copying content from multiple posts, reformatting everything and ensuring consistent styling.
That’s when I realized this isn’t just a non-profit problem. Every WordPress creator faces the same challenge of discoverability and repurposing.
I decided to build eBook Crafter, a WordPress plugin designed specifically for creators who want to transform their existing content into eBooks right within their site’s dashboards.
Why eBooks Matter, Especially in PDF Format
PDFs remain one of the most trusted and accessible ways to consume long-form content. They’re device-independent and easily shareable. Your audience will be delighted to embrace the uninterrupted reading experiences offered by eBooks in PDF format.
PDF platforms serve millions of users globally, with nearly 50% now accessing PDF tools through smartphones and tablets, according to Global Growth Insights (2024). This reflects the broader mobile shift in document consumption.
More importantly, a well-crafted eBook positions you as an authority in your field. Digital formats offer cost-effective production and easy global distribution.
The Authority-Building Power of Curated Content
Your blog archive is not a relic of the past. It’s a goldmine of expertise waiting to be packaged into comprehensive resources. You can create something more valuable than all your posts combined.
A series of blog posts about email marketing becomes “The Complete Guide to Email Marketing for Small Businesses” and your scattered productivity tips transform into “The Remote Worker’s Productivity Playbook.”
