Course Description

Online videos will make up more than 80 percent of all internet traffic within three years. Facebook videos and YouTube videos are dominating the average person’s time online. People are just as likely to search YouTube for a “how to” solution as they are an internet browser. 

What does this mean for planners? We have a tremendous opportunity to create content. Video as a storytelling platform is an excellent way to teach others about our work, engage communities in planning processes, and advocate for the common good. 

This course will give you motivation to create video content and give you practical, affordable tips for getting your content noticed among the online noise.
