Content Formats and Content Types


Listen Later

You have three types and three formats, each intersect, and ALL are important.

They are as follows:

* Video

* Audio

* Written

* Short

* Long

* LIVE

Why is it important to do all six?

Not everyone is going to consume the content you make the same way you do. Personally I like watching videos for consumption but I am a writer for creation. Do I listen to podcasts, or read blog posts? Yes. Will I choose a video first? Also yes.

Your follower might be the same way, or even opposite. Thus it is wise to be creating content in all 3 types.

The other angle is where you meet that person, and on what platform. Depending on the type you choose it might change the format. I.e. video and livestreaming. However you could go onto Clubhouse and do LIVE Audio that works too.

The thing is to try to go for all of the types and formats.

We will get more and more into the How to do it in later posts.

However for now think of it like a workout. You have Upper, Lower, and Abs. You know you need to do all three, but maybe you skip abs some weeks. Eventually that is going to catch up to you.

Even if you have to do only a little bit of abs each week, just as long as you are doing them, that is what matters.

At first it will be difficult, but you gotta put in the reps!

100 Videos, 100 Podcasts, 100 blogs… 100 shorts, 100 long form (for each), 100 LIVEs.

Highlighted Tool of the Week: VDO Ninja

https://vdo.ninja/

This is a tool to help you have an interview show on a free tool like OBS or Meld Studio. Which are livestreaming/recording apps, that you can also use with Substack LIVE. I thought this would be an interesting tool to highlight for those who are going LIVE like me but not on the mobile app.

As on desktop it is pretty hard to have on guests.

🥡 Takeaways

What is the point of this post? I really think that regardless if you are just starting or have done it for a while; That it is a good idea to keep in mind the areas that you are lacking. I’ve been trying to do this myself, so you know that no one is perfect. We all have to put in the work!

What I want you to try is to pick one of the six things that you haven’t done yet. A podcast, or a livestream, or maybe a short if you haven’t yet for some reason. The point being put a step towards it.
