[epic] Learn Pages: Present and share better top initiatives and topics

[rufuspollock]

When I (a visitor via google / interested party) come across a topic i want to have a clear entry point with material well organzied

When one of us (e.g. Rufus) is talking to someone on a call I want to be able to quickly share a link to one of our key topics/proejcts where people can find the best material including podcasts, overview etc

SCQH

S: we already have a fair amount of material on specific topics/ideas e.g. fundamental wellbeing (waking up), second renaissance, great grasping/shadows of enlightenment, web3 (analysis of tech utopian aspirations) etc etc

C: but often scattered and not well organized and often not shared e.g.

• FWB: fundamental wellbeing page not really polished; 3 separate podcasts not accessible in one place (e.g. that page); very limited

Q: how can we efficiently improve that?

H: have landing pages for a given topic or initiatives where we integrate key material plus systematic sharing (e.g. twitter threads, identify interested audiences and reach out to them etc)

Tasks

• Experiment: Fundamental Wellbeing Learn page optimized and promoted #589
• Identify stuff to do
  • Create list of key offers/ideas/topics
  • And existing material
• Create a landing page for people to see all learn pages available

Marketing Brainstorm

• Twitter threads etc etc
• Where is fundamental wellbeing already written about online?
• Could we add a lead magnet to this page?
• Jeffery has affiliate codes for his course

What are the key topics for learn pages?

• Fundamental Wellbeing - 3 hours of podcasts
• Conscious coliving - course, blog posts, podcast, community calls
• Conscious parenting - podcasts, course
• Cultural Evolution or Culturology - 3 hours of podcast
• Diginomics
• Web3
• Once upon a time podcast series
• Exploring Social Transformation podcast series
• Integral Theory

What do we need on a page

• Header Image
• Tagline
• Introduction: Including how it relates to Life Itself - What it is and why is it important to Life Itself (link to Theory of Change or other foundational Life Itself Strategy, Mission, Values, Etc.)
  • By the end of this page you will know... (Key overview)
• Table of contents

LEARN

• Our Media (presented in the best way reflect the topic)

  • Read: Relevant Blog Posts

PRACTICE

GO DEEPER

• External Resources: Books and Websites
• Leaders/Experts
  OTHER
• Redirect to other learn or to learn homepage (programmed into page as suggested pages)

https://lifeitself.org/ideas this is something we need to revisit

Looking back at #97

The difference between projects and learn pages are that project pages basically define a project we work on (which could be to make a learn page, course or do research) whereas a learn page is an outward facing resource to be used by our audience.

@laurenwigmore we can also link this to #826

[rufuspollock]

@nathenf this needs some finalization e.g. clear acceptance to be ready to go - but would be perfect for this autumn as part of beacons effort.

[laurenwigmore]

@nathenf shall we have a meeting to discuss this more? I've linked it to the #826 issue as well

[nathenf]

@laurenwigmore yes let's do this

[nathenf]

@rufuspollock I'm wondering if we can close this issue...

We have now developed 2 learn pages with a format and structure which is suitable for now and is shareable. We may not focus energy on this further for the time being, but will add learn pages as and when topics arise.

@laurenwigmore i would say this is a pretty good focus for rest of this year 🙂
