Overview -- what we'll be working on

Let me give you a tentative overview of what we're gonna talk about in this course because as I recorded, there might be additional elements or different orders. But this is the current plan that we're gonna go through together. So we are first going to work on your about about me page or about my work page. And the reason we start there is because that is the the the longest description of your work has multiple sections in it, and that long description will then allow us to collapse it into what I call a bio or what it's called a bio. And a bio can have different lengths.
It could be a thousand character bio character, meaning numbers of characters instead of numbers of words, we count in characters because that matters for different social media platforms. Thousand characters, 255 characters, you know, that's the maximum for Facebook page description is at this moment anyway. That might change. Hundred and 20 characters for LinkedIn headline and, ultimately, 5 to 30 characters as a title. How do you you know, what's the few words you title your yourself as professional title.
So we're gonna do the about page, and then we're gonna do the bios, and then we need to title and then we're going to update your social media profiles with the work that we've done. And then we're going to practice speaking our introductions on video, you'll you'll pair up with your encouragement ally in this course and practice practice recording it essentially. And that those 1 of those recordings will become, guess what? Your homepage, video. Yay.
And lastly, we will work on the media kit. Media kit is just fancy word for when someone wants to interview you on their podcast or something. Do you have a page to send them to where your photos are, your bio is, your questions to ask you, that kind of stuff. It's nice to have it in 1 place for them. So with that, let's let's continue on this adventure.
