#5 Module : Choose Your Medium

 

📺 Module 5: Choose Your Medium

🌟 Why this matters

The same story can be told in many ways — a blog post, a slide deck, a short video, or even a live demo. Choosing the right medium ensures your audience not only hears your story but experiences it in the format they prefer.

📝 Step‑by‑step exercise

1. Pick your medium

   • Text: Blog post, WhatsApp note, or LinkedIn update.
   • Slides: A short deck for class or staff meetings.
   • Video: A 60–90 second clip with visuals and narration.
   • Web demo: A live page showing before/after results.

2. Draft your story in that format

   • Text: 200 words, clear arc, one call‑to‑action.
   • Slides: 7 slides → Hook, Problem, Journey (×2), Insight, Action, Next steps.
   • Video: Hook in 3 seconds, problem visual, journey snapshot, insight, CTA.
   • Web demo: Toggle between “before” and “after,” add metrics and a “Try it” button.

3. Check for clarity

   • Remove anything that doesn’t serve the arc.
   • Ask: “Would my audience understand this in under 2 minutes?”
