Pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) can do it: pandoc -f markdown -t org -o marketing-checklist.org marketing-checklist.md

Actually, that's what I used, but in this case the conversion didn't work very well. I had to do a lot of editing to get it formated so checklsts worked and get all of the links converted. Org is a bit more finicky than markdown...

I wish the pandoc conversion worked better because it would be nice not to have to update changes by hand.

It's all little things like making sure that there is only one space in every "- [ ]" between the dash and open bracket.

The original placed the entire document under a level 2 header, so I placed all top headings under their own level one header. I also changed the bottom level of headings into boldface link items so that org could see all of the checklist items. If you open both versions side by side you'll see how I did it.

Again, thank you for the list, it really is fantastic. I'm considering creating a different version for NGOs and Non-Profits here in Cambodia. Marketing is a large part of what NGOs do to raise funds and there is a lot of overlap between commerical websites and non-profits. But there are a lot of resourses available for non-profits which could be added as well.
