If you're on the internet and a working professional or entrepreneur then 10 times out of 9 you're either posting something about yourself, your business or reading someone else's post or advertisements for consumer goods, products and/ or services. Now a day, everyone is involved in the production/ marketing wheel in some way shape or form to convey ideas or information but how does one learn to communicate in a way that yields the highest return or at least a click on the Facebook "LIKE" button? As a entrepreneurial video producer and content provider, I engage in a few ways to improve my messaging, posts and videos and I'd like to share them with you.
NETWORK Networking with others whom have the same and similar interest is key. It allows you to share ideas and make connections that you would not have gained otherwise thus giving you a new perspective or insight that you can share with others. Need a place to start? Why not check out your local chamber of commerce? I have benefited from my memberships in the Plano Chamber of Commerce, Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Dallas Fort Worth Association of Black Journalists to name a few. There are so many local and national chambers, associations and organizations that can help guide you in getting your message out and support your professional and entrepreneurial endeavors.
Learn What's New Be knowledgeable about the latest technology in your field of interest. For me, I used to edit video with Final Cut Pro so when I chose to transfer and edit with Adobe Premiere instead, I had to immerse myself in the latest Adobe technology that included a subscription, cloud-based platform. I was skeptical at first but the more I learned the better I was able to apply those new found tools into my creative works for better results.
