Know who Your Audience is

Spend some time learning about your target audience’s interests and profession by conducting research.

Memorize Your Show

If your program focuses on a certain topic, you should conduct extensive research to ensure that you’re creating the most up-to-date and comprehensive content possible (Veletsianos, 2010)

Inclusive Content

Know the constraints of each group and provide advice to them on how to maximize the benefits of the scenes you produce.

Curate Content

You should undoubtedly know how to deliver whatever you share. Keep an eye on risks and share ONLY the relevant pieces (Amir, M., & Miller, 2021).

Editorial Calendar

An editorial calendar is the foundation of every excellent content strategy. An editorial calendar aids in long-term strategic content preparation, design, and implementation for social media platforms, websites and any other PLN collateral.

CANVA.COM

Canva.com is a platform that can be used to design postas, infographics, videos, presentations, and other creative content. It has both free and paid plans that makes it available to everyone. The tool is essential for creating engaging content for a PLN.

Open shot video editor

Videos that have not been edited may be noisy, unappealing, or contain extraneous content. Open Shot Video Editor can be used to improve a video clip that has been captured. Unnecessary noise is removed, titles are added, and a transition between clips is created to assist the audience in learning more effectively.

Notion

Notion provides you with an online, collaborative workplace where you can keep track of all of your tasks and notes in one spot. This application gives your entire team a single place to come up with episode ideas, write scripts, and take notes during interviews.
