Webinar recording – How to make sure your video content is loved and shared



About the webinar

In this 75 minute webinar the Digital Culture Network’s Tech Champion for Digital Content, Dean Shaw, breaks down myths and common misconceptions around producing successful video content. By understanding the structure of your content, what type of platforms will best show it off and what audiences have come to expect from those platforms, you will learn how to make your digital content stand out from the crowd.

You will learn:

  • Why not all social media platforms have the same audience type
  • How understanding the structure of the video content will make it more appealing to your audience
  • How small tweaks to titles, descriptions, hashtags and thumbnails can help you be discovered
  • How to find your niche audience
  • What tools the pros use to gain the advantage
