It started out innocently enough. SNL star gets groomed as Conan’s Late Night replacement on NBC, so why not give him a few months to play around on the web before things get serious. So, without any background on the web, Jimmy Fallon launches last month (see above) his somewhat daily online series to a lukewarm chorus of meh.

So what’s any smart young go-getter like Fallon do? They get help. So Jimmy packed up and went on a crash course in creating engaging content and actually listening to your audience. Here’s a brief look at his lesson plan (not necessarily in order).
