You don’t need expensive tech to go live. You just need two things - a device (either a smartphone or a computer) and decent internet. But over time, you can slowly build up your live video studio - adding better microphones, cameras and lighting. Unless you have tens of thousands of dollars to invest right at the start, I am a big believer in bootstrapping your live video studio over time. Now that Social Media Marketing World 2020 is over, it’s time for another upgrade. I’ve been using my Logitech C920 cameras for years. I had to send my Logitech Brio back as it wasn’t working well. So now, I’ve ordered a Canon EOS M50 with an extra lens. In today’s show, we’re talking about cameras!Show notes: iag.me/43Please Subscribe!Don’t miss an episode!

Less than original podcast but still a lot.At the moment I am editing each podcast. I tried Descript but not perfectI’ve got so many guests that I want to bring in but just haven’t had the time. I’ve been scared about bring in some big names - even though many are friendsI knew it was going to take a long time with the podcast but The numbers aren’t as high as I would have liked✅My year of growth and I've just had a session with a life coachLast year was my year of visibility. I spoke all over the world and did loads of appearances.This year is my year of business and personal growth.That’s meant rebuilding a lot of stuff - being consistent and taking a proper look at myselfFor a solo entrepreneur - it’s important to have a whole approach and a holistic approach. I want to grow as an entrepreneur, a father, husband and friend. I want to improve health-wise, gain more clarity, grow in my faith and become more wiseI’m looking at my health. 18 months ago I got a personal trainer. Over 3 years ago I cut out sugar. But as a veggie I want to check my B12, Iron etc. I had a session with a life coach on Friday which was amazing. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while - but it has to be the right fit. Looking at the holistic approach. Want to procrastinate less✅I've been re-working the different ways people can work with mePower hourCoaching programmsLive video CoursesMastermindsAcademy✅The pros and cons of offering "power hours"They’re a quick way of picking your brain and being paid for it. Do you offer power hours?I do. I love them. I love helping people. Although it’s not my main focus.I’ve been working on my services page to make it clearer - iag.me/servicesKen Needy says I've switched to a slightly more leveraged model where when someone buys a product from us they get access to our monthly Hotline calls where they can ask questions about anything email marketing related. That way I can help more people, and also keep that time cornered.Jaz Greer mentioned the Know Like and TrustCarrier Reah said I do offer consult sessions, yes. And I have also purchased them. Thus far, the purchased time for a consult was long after not being able to find the answer myself. Sometimes it was worth it...about 50/50. I would do a consult/coaching session again with the right person.Molly Mahoney said - I used to! But time became too much of a commodity, and i know that the deepest results come from a longer program.✅Tool alert!

We were actually on a whale watching trip together organised by the team at SmarterQueue.Christine is a photographer, story strategist & confidence catalyst and is based in Texas.One of the reasons I hear from some people that stop them from going live - is that they just don't like the way they look. A lot of people don't like the way they sound either. But that doesn't have to be the case.

This is the second show of 2020. And I wanted to be honest.I love what I do, but sometimes it's so easy to feel like you want to give up.I've not got into that rhythm yet. That schedule.I've not reminded myself of why I am doing this.But that is slowly changing as I am putting together my goals.This year is my year of growth - business and personal.But first of all it needs to be about becoming more stable and building the foundations. I talked a lot about this in episode 33.But it's also about encouragement. Most of us aren't great at encouragement. Most of us don't listen. I encourage you to reach out to someone you know in business or in your personal life and give them a word of encouragement.Today's Episode: Social Media Management ToolsToday, I am talking about the top Social Media Management Tools. This comes from my mega-article, The 7 Must-Have Social Media Management Tools for 2020.Why talk about this? I am all about using live video to level up your impact and authority. With live video you are broadcasting to social media channels. And it's where you'll engage with your audience.A social media management tool helps you become more efficient in managing your social media empire.But what is one?A social media management tool aims to do it all.In Lord of the Rings speak, it's the "One Tool to Rule Them All".Tools like Buffer Publish and Social Champ are great at scheduling contentBrand24 and Talkwalker are great listening and analysis toolsBut none of these is a true social media management tool.An SMMT does everything…Publishing: posting/scheduling your social media postsCalendar: Display all your posts (past and present) for all your networks in a calendar (and/or list) view.Social Inbox: interacting with your social messagesListening & Monitoring: Keep up to date with what people are saying about your brand and competitors. Track keywords and phrases as well as hashtags across all the social networks.Audience & Community Management: View insights into your audience. See who are the influencers and the most engaged. Have the ability to follow and unfollow, and add your own notes. Kind of like a simple social CRM (customer relationship management tool)Team Features: Have the ability for individual team members to log in with their own logins and have a team approval system.Analytics & Reports: Measure your social media success with reports across all your social networks.

Do you get anxious before you go live?

We've talked a lot about live video on this show. We've talked a lot about audio (Mike Russell came on the show to talk about how to get awesome audio). We had the Queen of Repurposing, Amy Woods, on the show to talk about how to repurpose your live video.But as you'll see, I repurpose my live show into a podcast.I thought it was high time to get my friend Colin Gray on the show to talk about the power of podcasts.Show notes: iag.me/25I asked Colin...How did we meet?How did you get started in this whole podcasting thing?Have you done much live video? Do you get nervous on live video? What's the power of podcastingHow has podcasting changed your business? Do you recommend creating a podcast from live video? What are the main pitfalls?What gear and tools do we need to get started with podcasting?And what gear and tools would you recommend to help level things up?Who is Colin Gray?Colin is a podcaster, speaker, PhD and founder of both The Podcast Host and Alitu: The Podcast Maker. ThePodcastHost.com is a huge audio, video and written resource on creating a successful show. Alitu.com is a web app that helps anyone to make a podcast really easily, by polishing, branding & publishing your show.What is the Confident Live Marketing Show?It's aimed at established entrepreneurs who want to level up their impact, authority and profits through the power of live video, webinars and podcasts.We’ll focus on knocking down the 3 main barriers these entrepreneurs face when creating live content - live video camera fear, live video tech & gear and the content marketing sphere.Some episodes will be solo shows but the majority will be in an interview format with a guest.The show aims to be as authentic as possible - sharing my journey in launching a live show and podcast and the entrepreneurial life with its ups and downs.

It's time for another Live Video Tool Showcase. I interviewed the founders of Ecamm Live last month, and I'm really excited to have the co-founder of StreamYard, Geige Vandentop.We'll be talking about how he got started in this industry and how StreamYard was born. We'll look at all the amazing features with StreamYard and what's coming in the future!Shownotes: iag.me/24

I just can't wait to have my good friend May King Tsang on the show to talk about how you can use video and live video to make people want to come to your workshop, conference or festival. She's the Queen of generating FOMO - the Fear of Missing Out.We've talked a lot about Fear being a negative thing. So is the Fear in FOMO ok? And how can live video encourage people to come to your event?

So, you've gone live and you've pressed that end broadcast button. Congratulations. But that's not the end of it.It's time to get involved in the comments and post-promote your live video content. That's the 4th P (after planning, pre-promotion and production).But then it's time for the 5th P - the most powerful one - Re-Purposing! And that's what we're talking about today. And who else can I have on the show but the Queen of Repurposing - Amy Woods of Content 10XIn this show, we'll discuss how to repurpose your live video shows into a plethora of live video content to explode across the interwebs! We'll look at loads of different ways of doing it too!Show notes will be available here soon: https://iag.me/22

Do you get resistance when you create content?Do you find yourself doing ANYTHING else other than what you are supposed to do?Resistance is the invisible force we encounter when creating content, launching something new in our business, starting a diet or going to the gym.You'd think that resistance would be strong with live video. But that isn't always the case, and it certainly doesn't have to be. In fact I have found that going live helps me break through resistance.In today's live show, I'll share my struggles with resistance, the book "The War of Art" and how live video has helped me break through resistance.I'm also sharing thoughts from Janet Murray, May King Tsang, Craig Dean, Juliette Stapleton and Tim Lewis.I'm also going to talk about the new multi-casting feature from StreamYard and a new cool tool called krisp which does noise cancellation for live videos and podcasts!

One of the excuses I hear from people struggling to go live is that they are introverts.Do introverts find going live on camera harder than extroverts? Or is that really not the issue?Hint: It's not really the issue!But, why?In this show, I'll share how to cope as an introvert in the world of social media marketing and live video. The difference between extroverts and introverts, and being shy and bold. And how you can still go live whatever box you like to sit in (or not)!Let me know if you identify as an introvert or an extrovert and how you feel about live streaming!Show notes: iag.me/20

With live video, it's easy to become totally focussed on the video quality. But what about the audio quality?I think audio is even more important than video. People can forgive a less than perfect video quality if they can hear you well. But if the audio is bad, you'll have a hard time keeping your audience.That's why I am so excited to have my good friend, Mike Russell from Music Radio Creative on the show this week to share his amazing knowledge on how to sound awesome on your live shows.Mike helped with my set up, and of course his company. Music Radio Creative produced my intro and outro music. He's the world's authority on audio production and not only that he's an amazing live streamer too.Show notes coming soon: https://iag.me/19

I'm excited to do my first live video tool showcase. I covered lots of live video tools in episode 4 which was all about how to choose the best live video tool. But in this show, I interviewed the founders of one of my favourite live video tools - Glen & Ken Aspeslagh of Ecamm Live.Ecamm Live from Ecamm Network is a powerful live-streaming video tool for Mac computers and it's the tool to stream my show every week.In this show, I asked them how they got started, what they think of live streaming and what's next with Ecamm Live.Show notes coming soon at https://iag.me/18

I'm back from Content Marketing World and the Tribes Conference in the US. In today's live show, I'll be talking about LinkedIn Live.Why you should use it and..why you shouldn't use it!How you apply for LinkedIn Live...What's good and what isn't and what you need to get started!
