I just made a podcast. Jhe, Dasi, Eldin, Alwyn, and I played around with the concept of a radio show–complete with commercials, callers, and games. With no solid theme in mind (except of course, that we wanted to talk about UP Manila Organizational Communication), “The O,” with hosts Aloloe and Jheyhoe was born.

How did we make a podcast? We:

  1. talked to you, our target listener;
  2. limited our running time to 20 minutes (this can be reduced);
  3. made a podcast outline;
  4. poured in energy to the show;
  5. practiced; and
  6. recorded and edited the podcast with a decent microphone and computer.

If I want to sell a product, or engage my consumers, I don’t have to harass them by showing brand photos everywhere, or outlining points why  my product/service is the most affordable solution. I can talk to my consumers about things related to my brand without saying standard marketing spiels.

An Obvious First Impression About Viral Videos

I’m not a fan of YouTube. The few times I’d visit YouTube is when I have to upload videos for class, or when friends like Arvin Razon would send me links to hilarious–but good–music videos like Stars by Simply Red or Sweet Dreams by Beyonce. So when I was tasked to make a video viral for class, I felt totally clueless.

So like any Netizen my age would do–I googled for inspiration.
