If you have a website, newsletter, or some other communications tool established, you’ve got a good start on a media library that includes Network Edition supported file types.

Leverage the collateral you already have to create your Network Edition content, and take advantage of the exciting creative options Network Edition offers.

You can create your own content for Network Edition, depending on your objectives, level of experience and enthusiasm. You may however, want to turn to an outside source to help create your messaging.

There are many reasons to do this, especially the first time out:

1) Technical expertise. By hiring a webmaster or web designer, you can turn your energies to decisions about the messaging itself, rather than trying to figure out the technicalities of how to get the message into a computer appropriate format.

2) Creativity. Sometimes two (or more) heads really are better than one. It is helpful and productive to brainstorm about ideas and the best ways to convey your important information.

Chances are the web designer already has all the creative program software you'll need, so you won't need to purchase the software yourself.

In addition to expertise in using the software and the area of general design, a webmaster or designer can help guide you through the potentially intimidating landscape of copyrights and terms of use associated with purchasing images, music and other collateral.
