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)

With about 2.5 billion active daily users, Facebook is the most used social media platform available today. If you have a business, it's likely that your customers (or those buying things for them) are on Facebook. Starting off our social media series, this episode is all about Facebook and the many ways you can increase your online visibility there.

In this week's episode:

• Everything on Facebook begins with your personal account, also known as your "profile.
• "Friending" people strategically on Facebook allows you to be tagged and tag them in posts on Facebook, easily connect via Messenger and more. 
• Your business account on Facebook is referred to as your "page."
• Social media platforms are being abused and utilized as dating apps--do NOT do this!
• You can post whatever you want on Facebook as long as it doesn't violate the platform's terms of service, but I suggest that everything you post be "brand-friendly." 
• Your profile and page photos should be different.
• You can...

This week's CHALLENGE: 

Think about an event or situation in your life where you are over-editing. Maybe it's a blog post that you keep tweaking, a graphic you've been redoing over and over, or a project that you keep scrapping and restarting. Follow through, finish it, and move on.

In this weeks' episode:

• Livestreaming (creating a live video broadcast) your podcast allows you many different ways to repurpose your podcast episode--or any content.
• Your audience really will want to see your tech, your podcasting set up and a behind-the-scenes look at how you do what you do.
• You need to use third-party software (Restream.io, Crowdcast or Wirecast) when you simulcast to Facebook and anything else.
• Do NOT go against Facebook's (or any platform) Terms of Service,

Facebook Live from Your Desktop!

Dreams do come true! Facebook has started rolling out the ability to broadcast on Facebook Live via desktop!

For many months, we've been able to livestream on the Facebook platform through our profiles and pages, but we needed to our mobile devices (phones, iPads, etc.) to do it.

Or we could go live on our desktop by also using OBS (free) or Wirecast (not free). For me, that was less-than-stellar...too much trouble. Not a one-click process.

No More!

Now you will have a one-click process! Well, you may need to wait a bit... 

When Facebook "rolls out" features, they don't tend to show rhyme or reason for how they roll things out. In the past, we've all just used the "wait and see if it's there yet" approach. (One day we all wake up and, magically, whatever we're waiting for on Facebook appears.)

And, just like I said, I took a nap today and when I awoke...I had the ability to broadcast on Facebook Live from my desktop via my page!
