Tips for "future proofing" your online course

Hi all,

Long-time listener, first time caller :-)

I'm creating an online video course teaching people how to interview for investing jobs. I'm wondering if anyone has tips for how to make the course "evergreen" or "future proof."

Curious any thoughts folks have on this, but to get started a few areas I'm thinking of are:

  1. Is it better to avoid "talking head" shots of yourself talking? Will those be difficult to edit or amend later?

  2. I'm assuming it's best to avoid any reference to years or current events?

Any other tips / lessons folks can share? Thank you in advance

    That's a question I have myself and I guess there's no right or wrong.

    I bought and completed this course on Monday: https://www.preetamnath.com/programmatic-seo

    Preetam just did a screenshare (primarily showing google slides and navigating in his chrome browser) while there was a small video square of his web cam in the bottom right.

    To be honest, this was enough and did the trick since he got the information across.

    If you are looking for such a setup you can use a tool called OBS. Tried to figure it out myself and wrote down the learnings in here: https://www.artlapinsch.com/audio-video-recording/

    Hope this helps. Let me know what else you'll find.
