Creating Good Content, Talk To Me

This is part three of a five part series between Tyler Pyburn, host at The Pulse Network, and Butch Stearns, Chief Operating Officer at The Pulse Network, as they hash out what goes into creating good content.

 

When creating good content it’s essential to understand the basics of communicating effectively. In order to keep someone’s interest in what you’re saying it’s so important to be conversational. Make the content about them. Communicate in front of a camera or into a microphone the same way you would communicate while having a conversation with your friend. This may seem “easier said than done” for some people, so I’ll break it down for you. Start out with a question to catch your audience’s attention. Make them care about what you’re saying. By starting off with a question, your audience will immediately start thinking about a logical answer, which in fact will make them engaged in your subject matter. Making it about your audience opens that channel of communication, which is a vital part of creating good content.

Creating Good Content, Tips to Communicate

This is part two of a five part series between Tyler Pyburn, host at The Pulse Network, and Butch Stearns, Chief Operating Officer at The Pulse Network, as they hash out what goes into creating good content.

 

In order to enhance your communication skills one must understand the concept of being a great communicator.

It all starts with talking about content that you care about. For instance, I love to canoe and kayak. When I am out in the water I will talk about what I love about this hobby and why I care so much about it. Talking about things that you care about is where the concept of “creating good content” should derive from. Also, to avoid going off on a tangent when talking subject matter that I care about, it’s essential to organize your thoughts. The organization should be focused on having a conversation, which gives your audience the sense that you’re not reading off of cue cards. Lastly, don’t be afraid to use references. In using an article, a video, or even a person as your reference it not only provides your content with another expert testimony, but also builds a form of trust between you and your audience.
