Live Audio and Video Marketing Tips for Online Business Growth

Get easy and effective tips for live audio and video that I learned from producing over 4,000 livestream videos and 500 Clubhouse rooms.

 “Immediately give value to your audience. It doesn't matter if it's live or if it's not...you'd better get their attention within the first three seconds, or they're done." 

-Bonnie L. Frank

Although you may not choose to grow your business like I did (going live three to seven times a day, seven days a week), any amount of live audio and video is a fabulous way to build trust with your audience and position yourself as an authority in your field. Whether it's Clubhouse rooms, Facebook audio rooms, Twitter Spaces, Greenroom or anywhere else, there are so many places to connect with your audience--LIVE!

In this episode, I share how to connect with your audience, how to strategically plan before going live, as well as tips for repurposing all of your audio and video content.

5 easy ways to boost engagement on live broadcasts

Going live is easy, but you've got to do more than that to get folks to watch, listen, and engage with you!

In this week's episode:

  • I started livestreaming on July 3, 2015, and I went live every day, 3-7 times a day, seven days a week. All I had was my phone and my Apple ear buds as a mic.
  • I started landing paid clients six days later.
  • After a year and a half of making money livestreaming, I bought a pro mic and some pro lighting.  Total spent: $150.00
  • Years ago, you could go live and loads and loads of people would pile in to watch you because livestreaming was new.
  • Now things are different.
  • I detail several things that will easily boost your engagement on live broadcasts including having a compelling title with action words, scheduling your live ahead of time and promoting it via your email list and social media.
  • Please remember that a live broadcast is NOT a webinar! Engage with your audience! (I give great examples on how to do this in the episode)
