24 Videos on 1st Month - DigitalFilipino Talks

DigitalFilipino Talks started last January 10 and as of this writing already has 24 videos posted and played more than 2000 times. The series caters to a diverse audience of micro and small entrepreneurs, service providers, and multinational firms.

We intend to produce up to 65 interview episodes to complete our first season. We already passed through our 5th week and have 8 more weeks to go. Once that is done, I will take stock on what we have and seek further inspiration to do new stuff that shall promote our club members, allies, and share knowledge to the community at large.

Running an online talk show was not as easy as it appears. More than just the actual shoot that takes place three times (3x) a month, the daily promotion through social networks and other platforms is something that needs to be continuously done to push for maximum visibility.

Furthermore, I use the interviews in writing my weekly column to reflect and add insight.

On this 2nd month, you can expect us to step up the promotions further as we engage the community to interact.

Many thanks to club members, new sign-up and renewal, whose membership fees help make this experimental project possible.

DigitalFilipino Talks - Look Who's Talking

For the last 2 years, I allotted resources in the DigitalFilipino Club to organize conferences that can be of benefit to our members. This is both from member promotion to learning perspective. After an event, efforts to come up with knowledge sharing videos, integrated with the speaker presentation, gets worked on. However, it takes a lot of time that also results to backlog.



For 2011, I decided to take a different approach. As knowledge sharing and promotion of our members is our primary goal, then it should not be limited to an event. That is when the idea for DigitalFilipino Talks came in. The resource that we usually allot for conferences is now invested in this video series.

Rather than make a once-a-week episode or show style and be like most online video or talk programs out there, we went to the almost extreme of making it daily on weekdays. Hopefully in the process, our efforts will also be noticeable.

Feedback we are getting at this point are positive so far. Got suggestions as well on how can we further improve.

As the DigitalFilipino Club community has a deep bench, we hope to feature all of our members in the DigitalFilipino Talks series.
