How to Record Effective Voice Notes

Voice notes are the heart of Influence Craft. Here's how to make them count.

Why Voice Notes?

Voice notes allow you to:

• Capture ideas quickly and naturally
• Express your authentic voice
• Save time compared to typing
• Share insights spontaneously

Best Practices

1. Choose a Quiet Environment

• Find a quiet space with minimal background noise
• Use headphones with a microphone for better quality
• Avoid windy outdoor locations

2. Speak Clearly and Naturally

• Talk at a normal pace (not too fast or slow)
• Enunciate clearly but don't over-articulate
• Be yourself - authenticity is key!

3. Structure Your Thoughts

Start with a simple framework:

Introduction: "I want to talk about..."
Main Point: Share your key insight or story
Conclusion: "The key takeaway is..."

4. Optimal Length

• LinkedIn: 60-90 seconds for a single post
• X: 30-45 seconds for a thread-worthy topic
• Instagram/Facebook: 45-60 seconds for engaging posts
• Short tips: 15-20 seconds

5. Include Specific Details

Good examples:

• ✅ "Last week I met with a client who increased their conversion rate by 40% using..."
• ✅ "Here's the exact 3-step process I use for..."

Avoid vague statements:

• ❌ "Marketing is important"
• ❌ "You should try harder"

6. Express Your Perspective

Don't just state facts - share YOUR take:

• "In my experience..."
• "I've found that..."
• "What surprised me was..."

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Too much filler: Avoid excessive "um", "uh", "like"
2. No clear point: Have one main message per voice note
3. Too promotional: Focus on value, not selling
4. Rushed recording: Take your time!
