2. Being a Creator
on Omnicourse
We all have
knowledge to share.
Professional expertise or life skills. We all have
something to learn from a lawyer, a developer,
a carpenter or a wise mother.
Teaching is a natural extension of knowledge.
Audio makes it easy.
On audio, you can teach with your
pajamas on. Your listeners focus on
what you teach rather than how you
look. It saves preparation time.
Create your first content
in hours.
If you have something to teach
about, 70% of the work is done.

3. Creator pro
fi
le
• Each content leads listeners to your profile. It
is designed to help your personal brand.
• It has everything you need to grow an
audience and lead that audience to your other
work.
• You can give links to your social accounts,
podcast, or website on your profile.
• You can generate leads to your online
trainings, events or services you sell.
• You can grow a follower base on Omnicourse
and let them know when you post new
content.

4. Learnbite (5
-
15 min)
For listeners with limited time.
• Learnbites are made of a single part. They work
better if you keep it around 10 minutes.
• They are probably doing house chores or
commuting while listening. Ironically, it makes
them more focused.
• Learnbites are ideal for teaching life skills or
giving an introduction to a more complicated
topic.
• Consider it as a digital version of answering a
question with your expertise over a cup of
coffee.

5. 2 types of content
Course (40
-
240 min)
For listeners who want to learn deeper.
• Courses have multiple episodes. Each episode has a
title and description.
• It works better with 4 to 12 episodes.
• You can bring your listener from basics to a more
advanced level step by step.
• You can use “Notes” to give written introduction or a
reading list.
• Consider it as the audio version of the classic
learning experience.

6. Choose a Topic
Find a question people ask
you often about your field
of expertise.
Your
fi
rst content in 3 steps
Prepare
Make a list of key points you
generally make when answering
that question.
Record
All you need is a
microphone now.

7. Choosing the topic
Shortcut:
You get some questions
in your
fi
eld very often.
Great content ideas
might be hidden there.
• Clarify the main question. Every lecture,
instruction, or course answers a question. Write
down that question as a clear sentence. That will be
your anchor while planning.
• Do not try to cover everything at once. You have a
lot to tell about your field. Each sentence reminds
you of another topic. If you get sidetracked from the
main question, you can save it for another content.
• Choose the relevant type of content. Look at your
main question. Could you answer it in a coffee
break? If yes, create a Learnbite. If not, you will
prepare a course with multiple episodes.

8. Preparation
• Give them a reason to keep listening. With a text,
we instinctively see the rest before we actually
read. On audio and video, the audience does not
know what to expect in the coming minutes. Give
them a reason to keep listening.
• Avoid written habits. Do not try to turn a complete
written text into audio. Subheadings, parentheses
and abbreviations do not exist in spoken language.
Keep it more natural and use shorter sentences.
• Summarize in the end. Make a bullet list for the
ending. Remind your listener about what you have
told. This will help them learn better.
Shortcut:
Your audience does not
see where your content
is going. Help them
follow you easier.

9. Shortcut:
Listeners are here to
listen to your expertise.
Prefer speaking tone
over reading tone.
Recording
• Give a map in the beginning. People feel safe when
they know where you are taking them. Tell your
listeners what they will get from that content.
• Avoid the reading tone. If you read a text word by
word, listeners will feel it. Don’t consider your notes
as your exact speech.
• Do not hurry. You are just sharing knowledge about
your field of expertise. It’s natural to pause and wait
while talking -no need to hold your breath.
• Avoid background noises. You do not need to have
a professional studio to avoid background noises.
Find the right time and place by trial-and-error.
