The Benefits of Streaming Live From Your Personal Facebook Profile
Live streaming on Facebook is a wonderful way to connect with your audience. But when we stream from our business pages, it is 100% public.
Streaming from your personal profile allows you to live stream for a very specific audience.
Before you can do this, you need to create a few lists.
This video shows you how to do that.
Next, click on the "post" icon, pictured below:
Next, choose the audience that you want to reach with your broadcast.
Give your broadcast a good title; make people curious.
Once you are live, find your self on your laptop, desktop, or second device and click "share". One caveat: if you want to share from your personal profile to other places, only the people who are the original list will be able to see it elsewhere, so you may at that point want to change the privacy settings to "public".
Notice the options! So cool, right? You can share into a group (OR MORE THAN ONE), AND you can share to one (OR MORE) Facebook pages that you manage. HOW COOL IS THAT?
In the image below, I am streaming live in my Facebook group, The Front Row.
...and here I am simultaneously streaming to my business page. (Mustache added to mask goofy/unflattering grimace.) :)
In summary, the main benefit from streaming from your Facebook profile is that you can select exactly who you want to see it. This is great if you only want existing clients, for example, to see what you are posting. Or maybe you want everyone EXCEPT existing clients to see. The possibilities are numerous. How will you use this feature?
Hire and Train Your First Virtual Assistant (Before You Think You Need To)
I wish I would have known this when I first started my business: hiring a virtual assistant, right off the bat is one of the smartest things you can do to grow your business.
I know the objections:
I'm not making money yet.
I wouldn't know what to give to a virtual assistant, I can barely figure out what to do myself.
I'm so disorganized. And by the time I explain it, I might as well do it myself.
But listen up:
If you spend your days doing $10 an hour tasks, that's about how much money you can expect to make?
That is time you ARE NOT spending doing the things that are actually revenue-producing.
Hiring a virtual assistant for my tiny little business was the best move I EVER made.
I've created an entire system that will walk you through how to find someone who you can afford to pay, where to find them, and how to onboard them in a systematic, automated way that will not take up a ton of your time.
Onlinejobs.ph - These are VA's exclusively in the Philippines.
Loom Video: This free software allows you to record your screen (or yourself) so that when it is time to onboard your VA, you will have a full training portal in place.
Trello - A project management system that allows you and your VA to be on the same page, literally. (I use the free version)
Lastpass - Allows your VA to access your accounts, without knowing your passwords.
