feel00:38like she's my co-host00:39so we just let her do her thing because00:40you guys love her sometimes one meet00:42alright so anyway so let's get started00:44so the first thing that you really want00:48to do is just start the more time you00:51waste saying I want to do Facebook live00:53ones do Facebook live I wanted to00:54Facebook live I wanted to Facebook lat I00:55want to do Facebook life I really want00:57to do the more time you do that you're01:02not gonna do it so I'm giving you01:05permission to start now using Facebook01:09live boom next I want you to really get01:13rid of your limiting thoughts no one is01:15perfect I've gone live in my Facebook01:17group and I'm talking and I got through01:19a whole presentation nobody heard me01:21because Facebook had a glitch or my mic01:23had a glitch or whatever the case may be01:25so what did I do01:26I just for the moment said dang it I was01:28really loving that I went back and I01:30redid it no nothing's perfect01:32I just scratched my arm in a video like01:34hello things happen so stop thinking01:37that you have to have this perfect you01:40know elaborate production yes some01:42people that I see come through my feet01:44or that I you know I'm in their group so01:46whatever like they have these elaborate01:48like things flying across the screen and01:51all these sound effects great if you can01:53do all that and that's your style like01:55absolutely go for it but I could tell01:57you that most of those people have01:58people on their team that are actually01:59doing those things for them I do some02:02things with my broadcasts that I'll like02:05throw slides and screens because that's02:07my level like I've gotten to a level of02:09confidence and organization to say okay02:12I want to do this live this way or02:14whatever sometimes I go live and I'm02:18like I don't have anything to show I02:23don't have anything to excuse me I don't02:25have anything to really you know you02:28a image for that's another reason why I02:34don't always push for people to do02:37exactly what I'm doing but I guide02:39another part of part one these are like02:41sub parts or part one another thing that02:43I wanted to share is and I did this and02:46I also teach this with conversations is02:49play your favorite music find something02:52even if maybe it's a show that you watch02:54and it makes you laugh beforehand like02:56whatever the case may be like do02:58something that's gonna get you out of02:59your head because for the most part that03:02is what happens with people they're in03:03their head and they're like oh I'm gonna03:05look funny or whatever the case may be03:08blah see blah and it might not even be03:09that case but if you're listening to03:11like your favorite song or whatever that03:13may be and it gets you in that mood in03:15that vibe you're not gonna worry about03:17all this other limiting belief things03:19another thing that I want you to03:21remember when you're going live is you03:23are talking to one person just one just03:33one just one person when you go alive if03:37you keep in the mindset that you're just03:38trying to connect educate help motivate03:41whatever your thing is one person it03:43makes it so much easier for you to talk03:45when I grew speaking engagements and03:47there's a room of a beyond rude whatever03:50I have a I have fun coming up where I'm03:56gonna be talking to over 40,000 people03:59now are they all gonna care what I have04:01to say probably not are some of them04:04gonna care yeah well most of them be04:06engaged absolutely because first of all04:08I know what I'm talking about and that's04:09not being cocky that's really believing04:11in what I'm talking about that's why I'm04:12doing it in first place but my whole04:15point is I'm not there thinking oh my04:17gosh I have to connect with 40,00004:19people I'm like if there's one person in04:20this room that is either inspired04:22educated or motivated by what I'm saying04:24drop them04:27so here's tip number two take some time04:30to generate ideas when I do speaking04:31engagements one of the easiest things04:33that I recommend is start with your04:35frequently asked questions why first of04:37all it saves you so much time like04:41seriously so much time think about04:43people that are coming for your services04:45this is not lazy by the way people come04:47in for your services have the same04:49question so how good do you look when04:52you say hey whatever their name is I04:55have an answer for your question watch04:57this quick video and that's a thing to04:59keep in mind make sure that your video05:00isn't like 8 10 12 minutes long nobody05:03has time for that you could have just05:04responded to an email real quick but if05:06you're doing a video save saves time on05:09both parties ends it helps so much you05:12could throw these videos on your website05:13under your FAQ so under the question05:15they watch that video to get their05:17answer tip number 3 tip number 3 is to05:21keep it simple05:24once again I kind of talked about this05:25when I first opened up that people feel05:28like they have to have this elaborate05:30broadcast because they see all these05:32other people that have an elaborate05:34broadcast and you're like I have to do05:35this if it's not done that way it's not05:38gonna be good like it's not true like05:40I've seen people honestly use their05:42smartphone but their content was so rich05:45that it either went viral or just05:48couldn't connect it with the right05:49people sorry somebody just started their05:51card sorry anyway05:53they connected with the right people and05:56because they connected with them they05:59were able to really penetrate and06:02resonate and then though with some06:04people share it and more people share it06:05and and I feel really bad that this car06:07sounds like a big fart noise sorry but06:10who can it go for the next one06:11hold on tip number 4 is to let people06:14know that you either have a show or that06:16go live they actually really care about06:19what you're doing this may be family or06:21friends have those people in the06:23beginning when you're really starting to06:24get this the ground moving or whatever06:26shakin or whatever you want to call it06:27with this have them show up for your06:30live so that you actually have people06:32that care about you who can engage and06:35I know this may seem like well it's it's06:38like when they say oh well your mom06:39likes everything you do like realtalk06:43my mother received my facebook group she06:45has a business um nobody knows who she06:49is because I don't shout her out like06:50that and I treat her just like a member06:52I'm not rude or anything I'm not rude to06:53my members period but what I'm trying to06:55say she doesn't get special treatment06:57cuz she's my mom but my whole point is06:59that when they show up and when you're07:01new to it it makes it easier because07:04it's someone that you recognize you know07:05they're gonna talk back because they07:06want to see if they really care about07:08you they want to see the best for you07:10with what you're doing so if you if you07:12are committed and you show them like hey07:13this is something I really really really07:15really really want to do I just need07:17some cheerleaders to start then that07:20will help you to really really do it and07:22then gain that confidence and then as07:24your family a friend start to like07:26dwindle out for whatever reason maybe07:27they can't resonate with the content and07:28like look I didn't cheered you on in the07:30beginning now go by then you're like07:32thank you you still love him but you're07:34like I got this thank you so much you07:35know what I'm saying07:36I think you could do it okay last but07:38definitely not least this is tip number07:40five is practice practice practice07:44practice practice in a private Facebook07:48group if you're a part of learn with a C07:50you could practice in my group I07:53actually used to have facebook live07:55challenges in the group and I had to07:58take my bride to take for myself so I07:59stopped doing them because I just was08:01like I can't be consistent right now08:03with them and then I didn't want to08:05disappoint people as well as I'm taking08:06responsibility for that even though08:09there were other factors too I'm still08:11taking responsibility08:13but anyway so this is something that I'm08:14probably going to bring back in 2019 to08:16the group is to have Facebook life08:18challenges where people can really go08:21live as if they were talking to a08:22broader audience in this group and get08:25feedback from the members of the group08:27when I was doing it it worked really08:29really well so even if you're not in a08:31Facebook group for whatever reason I08:32know it's like you can get overloaded08:33with them go live on your personal page08:37but make it only me so you're gonna08:39change the settings to only meet so if08:42you're gonna go live on it what you08:44would do is select live video like this08:46all right and right here where it says08:54public normally like when you make a08:56Facebook post and actually like friends08:57public stuff like that right so it's08:59kind of weird like seeing myself twice09:01actually three times because I have a09:04secondary display right here but anyway09:06what you want to do is drop go to the09:08drop down horses more options and select09:12only me okay and all of this make sure09:15all of this is set up because you're09:16still practicing as if you were gonna go09:18live right so make sure I'd like you09:20have the right mic set up you have your09:22right webcam you're not going to share09:24your screen because the whole point of09:25you practicing is to really talk like09:28this to yourself okay in the moment but09:30I also will keep my tip in mine which is09:32you talking to one person alright still09:35do the stats make your title I would09:38really I wouldn't do any tags because09:39the one's gonna see it this is really09:41for you but definitely do the title and09:43definitely do the description because09:46you want to get used to doing that as09:49well and on this new feature that you09:51can create polls a trivia questions to09:53act your audience during a live video09:55which i think is cool but if you're not09:56there yet don't worry about doing that09:58that's too much09:59but right just stay right here hit go10:02live and now you're live and use the10:04strategies that I teach in my group if10:05you need a Facebook live video script I10:08actually have one so you can definitely10:10get that from me as well but my whole10:11point is I'm talking to you10:13through my face because we live on this10:15screen I forgot to UM ended so let me go10:18back to the primary camera but anyway my10:21whole point is that you could definitely10:23do this you just need to practice and10:24you'll get to the point where you're10:26like oh man this is so easy what was I10:27worried about and it's like just like I10:29said some days I I still I think I still10:33get nervous but not to the point where I10:35won't execute it's more like I just want10:36to make sure that they really resonate10:38with the content that I'm sharing I do10:39you actually want to do Facebook lives10:42Facebook lives are a great way to engage10:44with your audience they definitely help10:46to boost SEO and you can repurpose them10:48on places like your blog your website I10:51cannot tell you how many10:52times I've done alive especially from my10:55wedding business but even for my10:57learner's agency education I've done10:59alive and people will come to me and ask11:03me and I'm like I get excited like I'm11:04literally like because I have a video on11:07it and I can just send it to that that11:09they get to watch it at their leisure11:10and they can say no the whole point is11:14lives really really do work in your11:17favor another thing that I want to show11:18you guys and opening up YouTube right11:20now11:21and I'm gonna go to the secondary11:23display let's see okay okay I'm gonna11:27show you guys a trick okay I think this11:29is super cool I cannot remember if I11:32found this randomly or someone showed me11:34I don't really remember so pardon me but11:37I do know how to do it so I'm sure so if11:40you are thinking of repurposing your11:43lives which you should be you shouldn't11:45just go live on Facebook and then just11:47like like leave it there and you know in11:50Facebook land like you should really11:51repurpose it as much as possible so if11:53you're trying to build blog content this11:56is a great thing to do with your videos11:57what you want to do is load your videos11:59to YouTube now I think you can do it12:02unlisted and do this but I don't think12:04you can do it if your video is private12:06so test that out first actually let me12:09know if you do this tip let me know12:12whether or not it worked for you go12:14ahead and load your video to youtube do12:16all the gizmos and gadgets your your12:17title all that good stuff right and then12:20what you want to do is you want to12:22select these three little dots right12:24here listen I don't know if you can see12:26them cuz my my lower third might be12:28blocking it's right here alright so I12:30know that this word starts with an e I12:34always mess it up so it's gonna call it12:37the three little dots alright so you12:39click the three little dots right here12:40and right here it says open12:44transcripts alright can you guys see12:46that I don't know if you're showing up I12:47don't see it on this12:49so I'm gonna I need to give more space12:53than you guys can see okay it's right12:54there so open transcript so you want to12:56click that right and what do you think13:01it can you see it yeah you can see it13:03this is everything that I've said in my13:06video time coded I mean it can't get any13:11better the only like downfall if you13:16want to say that for this is that it's13:18not you yet you're gonna have to clean13:21it up basically but it's a great way to13:23actually transcribe your videos without13:25having to pay for them for the13:26transcription if you want to pay for the13:28transcription you can use something like13:29brug comm which i think is a dollar a13:32minute based on the length of your video13:33so for instance this video seven minutes13:35and 14 seconds so it would probably cost13:37me anywhere between seven to eight13:38dollars to get this video transcribed if13:40you have the time to do this all you13:42have to do literally is take your mouse13:44or your cursor or whatever and you're13:48gonna highlight everything that you said13:50and then you control see I'm on a Mac or13:53however you gonna copy if you're in a PC13:54you copy it to an actual document so I'm13:58just gonna open up hold on I'm gonna14:03open up you know what I'll just open up14:06notes just to make it easier so I'm14:09gonna open up notes a clean note here14:12alright and all you have to do is paste14:17it or just paste it it twice so give me14:19a second sorry okay so you have to just14:20paste it here and then if this was your14:21blog you can either leave it like this14:23and I know someone who does this I know14:25someone who does this and they have a14:27professional platform I'm like that's so14:30smart if you're solo and you don't have14:32the time but you still want to provide14:33one words for people that like to read14:36or want the transcript to you want this14:38for SEO because it's it counts as a word14:41count you could do something just like14:43this disclaimer you see me typing14:48transcript14:50may be flawed or something like not14:56exact wording something to let to let15:00people know that the transcript was not15:02cleaned up but it's enough to get you15:04through the conversation that is a great15:06way to transcribe your videos and I and15:08I also heard something I don't use15:10rev.com but I've heard just in the15:11community that even people who use15:13rev.com that sometimes they don't clean15:17it up either they're just transcribing15:19it so I really don't know and I don't15:21I'm not even trying to throw them on15:23that bus first of all that's not my15:24style but since I've never used it I15:26can't say whether that's sure false but15:27if that is the case then doing something15:30like this you can either do like that15:31disclaimer or make an effort to clean it15:33up yourself if you have a virtual15:35assistant this is something you can do15:36easily with you giving them access to15:38your YouTube if you don't want to give15:39them access to your YouTube you can copy15:41it and say I need this transcribe for15:43this video whatever the case may be and15:44you can um because this is15:46auto-generated so you would select the15:48language that you want it to be15:49generated in and then that is how the15:53text will come you can also take the15:56timestamps off see what I just did I15:58toggle them and then you just have the16:01text to work with so I think when you do16:03it this way okay and open everything so16:07when you do it this way this is a great16:08way to bring it into something like a16:10Google Docs where it turns in more into16:12a paragraph form and then you can clean16:14it up that way you can read it back I16:17something I use a lot on my Mac because16:19I used a speech pinging I use a speech16:22tool and I wasn't always using that but16:25it has helped me so much because16:26sometimes I can't hear necessarily what16:28I'm saying as I wrote it but when I hear16:29the computer read back it's easy for me16:31to catch like an error or it should be a16:33comma there or like that made no sense16:35so I use a lot of the you know the tools16:38that are given to me and I opt amaizing16:40as much as possible so that is a trick16:45that I wanted to teach you about16:46transcribing your videos and last but16:48definitely not least is16:51when you're using facebook live content16:54you want to repurpose it you can16:56definitely spice it up and figure out16:57how to put it on like Instagram and17:00Twitter and LinkedIn a different places17:02like that but you don't want to take17:03your actual full Facebook live video and17:06dump it on you too it has been shown17:08that it's not effective and it doesn't17:09perform very well because once people17:11see that you're actually live and you're17:16not once they see that you're actually17:17repurposing a lot that your viewer count17:20actually drops and you want to keep17:21people there watching so just think17:23about how you can repurpose your17:26Facebook live you may have to go throw17:28it in a software cut it up and and make17:30it where the parts where you're not17:32engaging with people that were live17:33don't don't get entered into the version17:36that goes on to YouTube that's totally17:38up to you like I said you definitely17:39always want to be testing at you and you17:41you will learn your audience but I just17:43know that that's something not again has17:45been said in the community of video17:46marketing strategists and teachers and17:48educators and whatever speakers all jazz17:50is that repurposing your live poll on17:53YouTube is just not a good thing so with17:56that being said I am so excited to see17:59you jump into Facebook live like I said18:00out of all the tips I've given you to18:03start one practice to get started get18:07rid of your limiting thoughts and18:08beliefs and all this other stuff and18:10come up with those ideas want you to18:12start with those three things everything18:14else will kind of gel because you're18:16doing it all you have to do is show up18:18and present and I'm telling you the more18:20committed you are the easier it gets and18:22honestly you don't have to show your18:25face I know this is a big big big big18:27deal I know I just cross my eyes right18:28this is a big big deal for a lot of18:31people that don't want to show their18:33face in that case something that you18:35could do and I'll see if I can load this18:37like really quick without slowing down18:40too much because I didn't have an actual18:44I didn't have a overlay prepared for18:49this but I have some that I've done18:50before so I'll just I'm gonna open up an18:52old overlay18:53actually I'm gonna open up my subscribe18:55over they like whatever I'm still gonna18:56be here okay so what you could do is see19:00how it's covering my face entire face19:02you can do live videos just like this19:05okay with absolutely no visuals of you19:10all you're doing is talking are their19:12pros and cons to this absolutely but19:15what you want to do is if you're just19:17gonna talk the whole time like this they19:19will never see your face then you need19:21to make sure that the content you're19:23saying is like really really really good19:25really really rich you need to make sure19:26that your visuals as well are really19:28really good and really really rich19:29because people don't want to just stare19:31at this image the whole time so even19:33when I do lives that are even when I do19:39lives that are where I'm using a lot of19:42slides I have them up for a little bit19:45and then I'll pull them back and I'll19:46show myself or like with what I'm using19:48right now he cam live something19:50something that I really love that you19:51can do is you can do the19:54picture-in-picture okay so for example19:58let me just make sure that it's on so I20:00could do this okay so if I bring this20:02back up and that's my effect it's I'm20:07going to do it on this one if I put it20:09on a secondary screen that's more show20:10so if I had a slide like I say this was20:13just a full-screen slide and you know my20:15picture is still here you can still see20:16me you know and the little guy right20:19here that's what I call it20:20so it all depends on like what you're20:23trying to do what connection you have20:24with the people that you're trying to20:26reach so I'm these cons view marketing20:29strategist' and content create tour I'm20:32also a wedding photographer and20:34cinematographer so I help
