 Welcome to the live stream. How you doing? Welcome, welcome. In my live. In my live. Okay. How you doing? I'm Jim. Welcome to the Sight Hustle Shuffle. Welcome to Amazon, Facebook and LinkedIn and we on YouTube too. I think we're on YouTube too. Why is that happening there? Let's hide that. All right. So we're going to talk about things you need to know before your live stream. Okay. Things you need to know before your live stream and we're going to go through some of the stuff that I use while I'm live streaming. Some of the stuff that I use to go live. The equipment that I'm using. Obviously the equipment that I'm using. But the number one thing that you got to think about when you're thinking about going live because most people are afraid to go live. They're afraid of making mistakes. They're afraid of looking stupid. But the fact of the matter is you're going to be going live to nobody for a while. Plan on going live to zero people. Zero people are going to tune in. Like you're going to go for the replay. So people are going to come back and watch the replay. And so you're going to be actually getting more views from the replay than you are from the actual live stream. So don't worry about the amount of viewers you have. Just keep going and you know play for the viewers on the replay. That's what you're most important is the play. Look at that. Is the guys on the replay. They're always going to be there now. If I click this and I click go down here. What do you need. Okay the first item is the am I in here. The first item that we're going to go through in the car cell today is the Asbot. All right now if you're over on LinkedIn and YouTube or Facebook you can come on over to Amazon. We're shopping. We're doing some live shopping on Amazon. The Asbot is what I'm using right now to go live. It's a artificial intelligence and AI camera that can follow you around. It's like having a cameraman. So if I want to zoom in I could do this and it'll zoom right in on me. Right and if I do that again it will zoom right back out again. Now Asbot is pretty cool because it has another feature that if I go like this and if I move around it's going to follow me wherever I go. If I go over here it's going to follow me around so it's that I'm always in the center frame of the camera. All right pretty cool pretty cool camera and it's a 4k camera. Easy plug-and-play. Hey Dr. Reedlucey how you doing doc? Welcome welcome welcome. So I had a long day so I'm kind of I'm kind of drained. Drinking my Java. The Java junkie. We're talking about the 15 things that you need to know before you go on live and we were talking about going live there's nobody like we're doing pretty much live right now we only got a couple people watching right now so you're going for the replay of viewers that people are going to be watching the live after. Okay doc so you don't worry there's nobody watching just keep going and go what you were planning on doing because the replay is where you're going to get the most views. All right so the Asbot is pretty cool and you might get seasick because I jump around a lot and that's going to follow me around that's going to be cool but the Asbot is a really cool camera I bought it. I actually saw it on the B live stream was it Steven I think had it and I said that's pretty cool I can use that because I don't have a camera man you know and it'd be nice to have someone because I go over here a lot and then then you can follow me around you can see more of the studio more of the room and that's pretty cool you get you get some back some back scenes some some behind the scenes stuff right so that's the Asbot right. We got a comment from Jennifer and Jennifer said hey how's it going camera looks nice yeah well I got I got a new camera I got a new laptop so hopefully that's running a little bit smoother than the other one was because the other one kept leg and we were having a lot of problems with the leg so that was the thing but thank thank you appreciate that so Jennifer said it looks great we can we can hide you know if you notice the carousel the snake right running around the top there if you make a comment you become the head of the snake all right so it might be cool it's a part of the engagement process right so and you're also going to get your stuff highlighted over here in the corner your your comments will get highlighted just so that you know like when you make a good comment you know it's going to be put on the screen so that everybody can see it and that's pretty cool you know you know we want you to be involved in what's going on okay so definitely definitely want you to be involved in what's going on because we're here on amazon we're here to shop you know people are here to shop on amazon that's the beautiful thing about it but to go live to nobody plan on going live to nobody that's the number one thing that I would say things you need to know is that you're going to go live to nobody for a while like I've been going live for over a year now last October October was a year I started going live October a year ago and you know a handful of people here some days I have a thousand people watching some days that have a hundred people watching most times it's you know between 10 and 20 people watching but you know you just keep going and sooner or later you know that the audience will find you you'll and you know you just got to keep plugging away and most people are going to quit an activity in 90 days they're going to say it doesn't work people start the diet people start or exercising people start a new side hustle or whatever side venture and within 90 days they don't get the results they want they quit right that's not the way life works you got to put in some time for in order for stuff to work all right we're going to move to the next thing in the stream which is the digital camera that this is another 4k camera we got it right here you know it was funny because I was looking to get the the thousand dollar camera whether it was the Sony or the Canon or the Nikon or whatever whatever popular brand I was looking at at the time right I'm saying man I'm going to buy this camera I really don't know how to use the camera it's going to spend a thousand dollars between the camera and the lens and I'm probably going to break it messing around with it I said let me get a count then I saw these things these things are like around the hundred bucks you can get them on sale a good day you can get them on sale for $99 that's why I think I got this one for and uh I used this for a lot of my shop videos I put on a tripod it doesn't have anti stabilization um but it has all the other settings it's got you know camera it's got slow motion it's got time lapse it's got video it's got playback it's got the flip out screen it's got the zoom lens right um everything you need to get started okay and I mean I can put this on my blog my vlogging rig and run around with it and you know have a really for for the price I was kind of blown away by the quality of it okay I was pretty impressed as far as what you're what you're getting as far as the step down from the good cameras right because everybody's talking about the you know the ones I'm talking about I'm not going to mention any names but you know the thousand dollar cameras that everybody that everybody craves in the content creation game but I can set a bunch of these up and run my stream and I actually did a stream or actually two or three streams with this camera just like I'm using the asbad right where I had it on the tripod and nobody knew that it wasn't it wasn't a thousand dollar camera it was a 99 dollar camera sitting on a tripod and I'm running a a live stream to multiple platforms and nobody really knows that I'm using just a cheap hundred dollar camera and I just say cheap because it's it's not expensive it's it's it's you know as far as it being well constructed it's well constructed I will say when I was taking photos and videos and I was zooming in and out with the zoom because of it's not anti-stabilization it shook a lot right but if you're going to put something on on a tripod right or a gimbal or something like that this is going to be perfectly fine for you you know I mean it does what I always say is does it have what you need to get by so do you really need all the stuff that that the thousand dollar camera has so let's say that the thousand dollar camera has the anti-stabilization so you buy it you spend a thousand dollars on the camera but you're going to come home you're going to put it on a tripod and everything you film is going to be from a tripod so you didn't need anti-stabilization so why did you buy the more expensive camera find out what you need the camera to do or whatever equipment you're using find out what you needed to do right and then your price from there you say well what has what I need what what model has what I need at what price point and that's what I have to get that's the what I have to get I don't need all the buzz and whistles I just needed to do this or that or whatever right so that's the 4k camera and that I was pretty impressed with I could show you some film on it but I'm not going to bother but we're going to go to the number two thing right number two thing that I would say that live streamers lack or or make mistakes in doing and don't do it is titles and thumbnails you put a lot of thought into the title the title is going to is going to get people to come in and going to get them to watch where the thumbnail is like your movie poster right it's going to it's going to get people's attention to what it is that you're trying to do so you got to get their attention and and generate curiosity with the thumbnail and then then the title kind of brings it home where they're going to say okay I need to watch this right so you got to kind of mess the two things together so it's a thumbnail gets the their attention and the title gets them to click and most people with them when they do live streams um they forget about titles and thumbnails I'm very guilty of that too I'm too busy doing all the other things that need to be done for live streaming that I don't worry about my titles and thumbnails and I really need to be working on that myself to you know preach preach preach um I haven't been moving it around in this in here oh that's terrible hey cast ahead hey how you doing buddy welcome welcome welcome Chris is here well Chris is in house we got a couple of uh got a couple of influencers in the house today that's awesome Chris is here let me highlight that um yeah we're going through some stuff that uh that I used to go live and I'm also going we're talking about the 15 things that new live streamers need to know and so far we went number one was that you're going to go live to nobody you're going to go live to zero people for a while so just get used to that and and plan on going for the the replay viewer and then the second thing so far that we're up to was titles and thumbnails people are not using thumbnails and titles when they do live streams and I'm guilty of it like I said because um they're you're just uh too busy I guess to do it right and the the the thumbnail is going to get their attention and generate curiosity and then the title is going to get the click and this is all for the replay viewer because most of your views are going to come from the replay right when it comes to the live stream all right now if you're an amazon influencer the next item uh the next number item I'm not sure what we're up to a three or four uh number three um is your buy when you storefront if you're an amazon influencer you got to build up your bio okay make an interesting you know what are you about what do you do and you know your storefront make it organized make it inviting have some idealist there that's relevant to your niche so that people can you know be so it looks organized okay because if you're going to drive traffic to the place you might as well make it look good right I mean that's that just goes that's what I was saying but people don't realize that they're too busy making shoppable videos and going live to worry about their storefront which is very important because you're driving traffic to the storefront and so you if you want to you know keep keep it going that's what you need to do and of course number four is uh recording your live stream you need to record the live stream uh for a replay you're going to chop that up for multi-purpose use on all the platforms very important I wanted to play music I wanted to play music yeah so recording it's very important because you're going to you're going to want to you're going to want to chop that up for shorts and and and other things that might be too loud let me know if that's too loud I just want to have something in the background so that I have some something there to keep me moving uh and the Osbot's going to follow me around so if that makes you see sick let me know I'll turn it off I can turn it off pretty easy I can go like that and turn it off and it won't follow me around anymore but that Osbot's pretty cool um so the avatar is going around the edge of the screen that is uh the snake the be live snake and and everybody who makes a comment becomes the head of the snake now if we ever fill up the whole square or rectangular whatever we got going here we ever fill that all up that'll be about 80 comments in the screen I'll give away a gift card okay so that'll be the thing so uh start comment and talk to each other and get it going and then we'll do the the wheel of names at the end if that's the case um but that's what it is that's the snake that's a be live snake that's a really cool engagement tool to get people to want to be so now your profile picture is going around the live stream and it's going to be on the live stream it's going to be on the replay so everybody you're you're you're not gonna make you famous okay I'm gonna gonna make you famous get into the live stream um so where are we here in the in the the Akasio is the next one okay so if I there's my mouse so the Akasio EK7000 I used this one uh I was looking for the GoPro the GoPro is a little bit expensive and I didn't really need it again I say um do you need all the bells and whistles okay I didn't need to I wasn't going skiing off a jump I wasn't going you know fast on a motorcycle I just needed a camera for b-roll and I used this camera up here this is this is it up here right on the on the boom arm up here and I'll show you what it looks like if I show it over here so that's it right here with the where the mouse is all right so that's it uh I'm using this as an overhead camera so then like I want to show you this and I can stand here and so that's not too bad of a camera now it comes with uh all the mounts for your helmet your motorcycle and and a waterproof uh I have taken on the water pictures with this and gone to the pool and gone to the lake and actually gone on the water with it and taken a film that the uh microphone when you have it in the case with the waterproof case doesn't uh doesn't work so good I mean it does you know it picks up stuff but it's not the best but uh but that's it down here and if I don't maybe you can see me I don't know I couldn't see it but that's the 4k camera the akasio ek7000 4k that's the pro and uh you know why if you don't if you're not a professional and you're not you don't need the the gopro because the gopro is coming out with a new one every couple of years right um again what do you need to do I'm going to put it on the tripod right I'm going to put it somewhere where it's not crazy so I don't need the the gopro and all maybe maybe the gopro would be nice if you needed to uh you know upload it to their web stuff like that that this doesn't have you know internet bluetooth maybe a stuff like that but for the price to get what you need done you know this is a pretty cool camera um and we're going to hide it because I'm not really uh showcasing anything on the desk right here but I I got that so as that I can showcase stuff on the desk which is pretty cool um and I don't know it's so hard to get copyright free music every one of my live streams gets bagged okay so the next one is uh number five five right number five is uh social media accounts so your social media accounts or you have to keep up with them you have to keep up with engagement you have to keep up with the comments and you're going to repurpose your live stream breaking up breaking it up into smaller clips take their best uh outtakes and put that on your other social media as you put that on on uh shorts and tiktok and instagram and linked in and wherever else you go and Pinterest wherever else you're going to go uh and use your social media twitter and you put the shorts on there multi multi-purpose your your stuff right that's what you want to do um so the next one the next item I have is the Logitech Brio okay the Logitech Brio I had I'm I use it in my other studio so let me see if I share my screen I can show you I think I have I think it's this one why isn't that sharing hmm I don't know why that's not working I don't know that's interesting I was trying to share my screen and it usually works I don't know why it's not working right now uh maybe I got too many tabs open that that could very well be all right a little birdie nose here sorry about that people so that's the Logitech Brio take my word for it it's a good camera I use it if you watch my other videos you'll be able to see it um it's night and day as far as as far as that like I'm gonna have the the $20 camera comes up next this one here I'm not gonna be able to show that one either if I can't share the screen that's gonna really stink let me try it again no I don't know I don't know what's going on with my stream I'm just getting rid of that make a strong impression on my screen I don't know can you guys see that why is it not sharing the screen okay there it is okay it's all the way over here that's why sorry people it's all it was all the way on the end so let me hide that and do this all right maybe that maybe that maybe that there you go all right if I go back over here and play it so now you can see the difference in the Logitech 920 and the 1080p the $20 webcam so now the one on the I don't know if it's right or left for you it's probably left it's 1080 the 1080 webcam that one is the $20 webcam $21.99 it's on sale right against a larger tech okay I don't know if you can see the notice of difference is you're gonna see a little bit of difference in the lighting and the Christmas coloring and the depth but you know does it have what you need to get started okay what does it have what you need so basically a $20 webcam right can get you started on live streaming I used that webcam that's the webcam I used when the pandemic hit and I needed to get a webcam for all the meetings that we were having online right and everybody was sold out of webcams because it was like everybody was buying them because everybody was having Zoom meetings so um I'm frozen I don't know what don't know what happened man I you know what I tried to share my screen and I got a lot of stuff open on the bottom here right and I couldn't see it it was always tucked over onto the one side so I don't know if that maybe made it freeze I'm not really sure um did I say keep a schedule so the number where we up to number six the number six thing that you need to do in your live streamer is to keep a schedule so you're going to try and build an audience you're trying to get a following so you want to be a consistent want to be the same time you know same bad time same bad channel every week or every day or every couple of days whatever you choose you know you know show up on those days so you're following your people know where to find you right and that's what you need to do you need to be consistent all right that's number six is keep a schedule okay um very important is a live stream because you know if they don't know when you're going live they can't come and watch you and I would even say go one step further which I don't have it on here maybe I do is to start an email list okay and we can go over that another time email lists all right um but number seven number seven that you need to know for live streaming is check and double check your camera and your microphone how many times has it been off or on mute or the camera hasn't been right or whatever check and double check before you go live you know be uh I've gone 10 minutes with that the mic was off and I think everybody's done stuff like that you know I mean it's just part of it's just part of not being perfect you know you're not going to be perfect on on the live stream you're just not going to be um but we're going to run through some stuff we're going to try to have some fun next Tuesday the eddy class live stream I'm going to be doing a trivia we tried to do it this past Tuesday and and and you know I didn't do it so well but this Tuesday I have it all set up on slides where we're going to bang up some slides with the answer so everybody can read it if you're having trouble when I was sharing the screen people couldn't read it on their phones and people couldn't type fast enough to answer the questions and people were people were uh what do you call googling the answers and stuff like that so I mean I don't know now the thing about the Osbot and see I talk my hands a lot right so for some reason it picked up that all of a sudden it's just all following me again so I don't know what you know I usually go like this and it's and it's going to follow you or not follow you but I I'm constantly moving my hands with the Osbot so that's that's one of the negatives of it okay um we're going to be getting into you know what if I get rid of this I'm going to get rid of this all right we're going to get into microphones now so this is the microphone I'm using right now the toner or the microphone toner that toner sent me this microphone for free and I use it I use using it as my backup microphone now I'm using it in my second studio studio B I guess you'd call it studio B but that it's hanging right there and uh I have no problem with its great mic it's got a mute you just tap it and it mutes I'm not gonna I'll tap it and then the light comes back on see when you tap it the light goes off so you know that it's muted and then you tap it again the light comes on it's got a volume control on there it's got a gain switch it's got it comes with uh a desk mount and it comes with a shock mount uh pretty cool little little microphone um and I'm using it right now so you get you get an idea what it sounds like um and it's picking up the music in the background too okay now you could put this on the desk you could this also has a type c plug in the back and a type c plug adapter so you can actually plug this mic into your phone and uh you know have a dedicated mic when you're doing your your videos on your phone I've used it with the phone you can use it for gaming as well it plugs into your ps4 or 5 and your your whatever the other one is xbox um plugs into all of those good things with the with the type c adapter that it has on there um really good microphone I'm very happy with it and again toner sent me toner sent me a couple of microphones for free they're to try out and uh we're gonna run through a couple of them right now um this one here is um let me see if I go this little microphone it isn't a bad little microphone it's uh I can't remember the number of it but nice little microphone I mean you get what you pay for okay so this one was sent to me for free it's a usb plug and play microphone and uh when you're talking directly into it it's really a good microphone it comes with the pop filter comes with all that wind guard and it comes on there uh comes with a little shock filled mount on there and it comes all assembled in the in the tripod you just put it on your desk plug it into your phone or plug it into your computer and you just talk right into it that's a good little microphone um I have a video of me using it let me see if I can share that screen it would be nice if technology would work so this is um this one yes hey it's there and showing the screen there we go I'm gonna get to hanging this one day this is the wrong one okay today we're talking budget microphones today we're talking about the tone you're gonna tc 30 usb condenser microphone uh to plug and play microphone it doesn't take any softwares got a two-year warranty coming with it right here to your warranty comes in a nice box uh comes with a tripod a shock mount the pop filter and the microphone and and of course the wire it comes with a good length of wire uh and you're listening to it right now okay let me know if you could hear that because I can't hear it tc 30 budget microphone quality there's no uh no mute button on there no cough button no you know uh gain control no gain knob nothing like that there's no button on off switch on it there's no volume control it's just a straight microphone I don't know what do you think I'm gonna pull it up and show you you've been listening to it right now so there it is toner t30 tc 30 pull the cord out now there how it's that's how it sounds from the back of the microphone this how it sounds from the side of the microphone and this is how it sounds from the front of the microphone I don't know why you can't hear it yeah I don't know why that was that you couldn't hear it uh maybe you could hear it I couldn't hear it uh but I don't have speakers set up so but anyway it's a good little store on a microphone I get you know what do you need it to do is always what I say what do you need it to do are you are you doing voiceovers are you doing you know uh where you don't mind the microphone being on camera like I don't mind being the microphone being on camera it doesn't bother me or have it on you know here on my other videos I have it right here and speaking right into it you know people expect you to have a microphone it's not a big deal um definitely I wonder what happened something's just Duncan I think I try to do too much in these streams I try and get too technical too crazy because things always happen things always happen to me so this is the toner usb microphone uh this is the q9 okay this one comes with the the boom arm on the side I use this I I don't use this one anymore but I did use it when I was having trouble with uh some microphones and I used this as a backup works pretty good it doesn't have a mute button it doesn't have well it does but it doesn't have an led switch so you can't tell if it's muted or not muted but it does it does do that but what what I liked about it was that it I you have the boom the the the desk mount the desk mount boom and that's really cool to have um so you can upgrade so when you get this microphone and you're ready to upgrade you can upgrade and you still have the boom arm for it for your next microphone right um so tip number eight right tip number eight work to tip number eight can you believe it work to tip number eight is to follow me okay follow me right now take it take a minute and give me a follow and uh I would appreciate it helps the algorithm it helps it helps makes let's amazon note that you're enjoying the stream uh makes it more and let makes it like that it's worth my while to be here um of course like I said tip number one was you're going to go live to nobody for a long time that's what happens you're going to go live to nobody expect zero viewers and you're probably going to suck right that's the does the bottom line you're probably going to suck uh I don't know what's up with my chat okay but it's not working um number nine is checking the stream key make sure you check and double check your stream key and if you don't know what that is you know we'll have to dig in deeper with another video on on how to actually live stream if you need to know if you need to know the actual steps I'm going live you know like let me know and we can we will zoom in and do a tutorial on that um but that's that's number nine and of course number ten is practice practice practice number ten is practice so uh how do you practice going live well you can't practice going live because uh only going live is going live you can stand and look in the mirror and try it you can you know do videos and try it but the best thing you could do is YouTube videos okay over and over again just keep doing YouTube videos and uh when you make a mistake just keep going right so you get into the habit of not letting the mistakes stop your flow because when you're in a live stream the flow just keeps going in and people expect you to make mistakes people expect the door to bark door build a ring you know this is amazon we're going to get packages delivered you know to the door the doorbell is going to ring you know uh kids are going to walk through the stream you know all kinds of stuff is going to happen you know technical issues are going to happen microphones are going to go down cameras are going to go down internet's going to go down all kinds of stuff is going to happen it's going to happen okay it's normal people expect it in matter of fact people are more in dear to you when it when it when it seems real right when you feel like when you seem like a real person to them not not an actor like you watch some of these uh professional live streamers and they can completely acting the whole time um but practice makes perfect and YouTube to me YouTube videos is the best way to practice you just keep going learn learn and just keep going right um and of course 11 we're up to number 11 already in the 15 uh things that you should know how to do when you're a live streamer and number 11 is engagement is is to engage with the chats okay don't forget the people are there okay i mean you don't want to interrupt the flow of the show but you don't want to ignore people that are spending time with you and taking time to watch you and and become part of your posse or your crew whatever it is you're calling them right um so the engagement is very important so make sure you're engaging with them in the chat all righty and my chat's about broken it won't let me i can't even post anything in the chat so i don't know what happened to it um but we're gonna go through the next item is is the newer 700 uh softboxes so i use them the softboxes here and is this following me right now yeah so if i come around i go all the way around you can see the softboxes this is the softbox right here it's not going to go up yeah there it is so the softboxes are up here right so they come with incandescent light bulbs uh they're really good easy and and good to get started right very good lights uh but i wasn't happy with them after after about a year of them they started getting uh not as bright to me so i ended up getting these next bulbs in in the screen um these are really good bulbs okay i got two of them i'm probably gonna get a couple more for backups but it really brightens up the place i mean the light's pretty good in here okay the lights pretty good in here and uh that's just for two of those bulbs in the softboxes um that i i already had the softboxes that i bought already and i upgraded the bulbs okay pretty cool that you can do that remember you're always upgrading your stuff that's part of the fun of doing stuff whether it's golf whether it's bowling whether it's knitting whether it's skiing whether it's whatever activity you're doing there's a hobby right there's your thing uh you're always looking to upgrade get the next best equipment if you're a photographer you're looking to get the next best camera you know if if you're uh whatever you are you're looking to get the next thing that comes out right um we are up to number 12 okay now number 12 you've seen a couple of influencers in the chat we've had Dr. Elo we've had Chris from from the deal casters and cast ahead uh in the chat today and so what you do as a live streamer is you watch other live streamers okay you get you get you get hints you get tips you get you get ideas you know oh he did that or they did that or they did that and it didn't work or i didn't like the way that looked i like i like the way his lighting was there or or a whole bunch of stuff okay and um gives your ideas and you can see how the industry is working so that you can be up on the next best thing that's happening okay uh so you're always going to want to watch your peers and again it's not competition these guys aren't competition the other live streamers on competition they're they're your peers okay they're they're uh they're on the same team we're

it's real high quality um real high quality it's high tempered glass really cool really nice little item cold brew coffee maker by bean and they sent me this uh free to review because i'm the java junkie i don't know what's going on in my chat but i don't know if anybody's there i don't know what's going on um i'm not thrilled about it the next item in the in the carousel is is is the pour over coffee maker is uh what's it called the pour over coffee kettle right the pour over coffee kettle it's got a built-in thermometer okay this thing's pretty cool uh bean envy sent me this to check out

top right here that'll tell you how hot the water is so you know you don't get it too hot right comes with a little screwdriver to fix stuff up right so that's pretty cool little teapot and it's got the handles so you're never going to get burned yourself right and it's got the spout so is that it's not going to splash or drip pretty cool little item um again if you have these are all good gifts for coffee related people um this would be good for tea or hot chocolate you can ramen noodles or pour over coffee well the pour over coffee is like is like the new thing now uh it's kind of like a tea bag you put you put your cup there and you you put this tea bag type thing all over the cup and you pour the coffee through the grinds and I mean it's just the same thing as using the coffee maker but you're just doing it by hand right so that's the pour over coffee kettle pretty cool by bean envy right so number 13 the lucky number 13 I thought about not having the number 13 but we have a number 13 and number 13 is planning out your streams now um case in point a stream like this you know there's like 15 items in the stream you have to have them there you have to have b-roll you have to there's a bunch of different things you got to do um to play in the stream so you got to make sure you plan the stream out um so you don't get stuck at any point and so if it's an interview you know you're going to have different things like uh different times that you can go uh with this guest or that guest or in between or you know if you're if you're pitching a product or or a service or something in between guests you know so you give everything in time so that you keep on schedule so you know you're not going over um case in point I'm putting together for next Tuesday's stream uh a trivia a trivia night okay we're going to do a trivia night next Tuesday uh I'm getting I've got a bunch of questions I put it all in a slide presentation so that everybody can read it because when I tried to do it last week people couldn't read it people couldn't see it people had trouble people were cheating um people were cheating well it's you know today you're carrying a phone in your hand and with trivia so I mean you just type in the question and you get the answer I mean people are used to that now having encyclopedia having having all the information you need in your hand right people just take that for granted nowadays so it's isn't cheating to use your phone to find an answer to a question it's not a test um but I used to have to go to the library and research stuff okay I didn't have a computer when I was young in in school right I used to have to I used to have to know how to do research I didn't just go hey hey Siri hey Google okay what what is this and what is that you know that's not what that's not what it is so the next thing and the last thing in the stream is the if I've been envy as well is the the French press okay the French press with include the premium milk frother this is pretty cool okay French press is another way to make coffee okay now uh you pour the grinds in in there and you and you and you press it down and you let it sit for a while and uh it's supposed to be a really good cup of coffee I'm going to give it a try over the weekend and I'll let you know uh how it goes but it also comes with the frother for your milk so that's pretty cool uh little bonus item um French press bean envy and pretty cool um so it says you add your medium coarse ground coffee pour hot water into the carafe and gently stir place the plunger unit on top of the French press wait four minutes and slowly press enjoy a great cup of coffee pretty easy to make you know and uh so you never need filters again you know and bean envy specializes in delivering the highest quality coffee products to consumers we are fanatical about coffee and the in the carafe behind a great brew founded in the pacific northwest we are surrounded by inspiring coffee shops and coffee drinkers that continue to motivate us to deliver quality focused products pretty cool little company bean envy they have it some nice products uh as you can clearly see so we're up to number 14 right and 14 is are you in it for money okay are you in it for the money not sure before you're crazy money is nice everybody's everybody deserves to get paid right but that should not be the motivator because uh you're in you're you're a service person you're in you're into service when you're doing this when you're a live streamer you're trying to help people out um and if you should be helping people that should be your number one goal is to help people the money will follow that right and it may take some time but that's the fact so you know you got to put people first and uh be in it in a service minded minds a service mindset so is that uh again everybody wants to make money money is nice and money is going to come but don't let that be the motivator you're gonna make bad decisions uh you should be helping people and making people's lives better with your live streams okay there's a subject to the live stream there there's a point to the live stream there there's an outcome to the live stream even if you're trying to sell something you know you're trying to help people and teach people and solve a problem basically that's what you're doing you solve the problems right uh basically you're solving problems and uh 15 number 15 number 15 is take action okay take action remember I said you're probably gonna suck embrace the suck okay embrace the suck so um it's gonna be it's gonna take some time for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera it's gonna take some time for you to uh know what you're doing and things are always changing so every time I think I know what I'm doing in this game I get some new equipment or I I decide to go into a different studio or I try I just decide I'm gonna change my background or I'm gonna I'm gonna change this I'm gonna use it as software or I'm gonna use the as about this time so you know things are always changing right and in that you're always learning and it's a learning curve and this is a great thing uh really great great uh side hustle for me because it keeps me keeps me learning and learning is is is the best hey Jerusalem's here how are you I don't know were you able to get on let's see there you go but you were on probably a long time ago 21 31 I'm not sure if the stream is still working because the chat went out a long time ago but we went through everything in the stream right and we went through our 15 uh things that you need to know as a live streamer before you start live streaming and I hoped that that any one of those things helped you you probably knew most of them um and you probably took them for granted but to have more on the list and to get them all done oh hey uh first one's tomorrow that's great um so are you nervous are you nervous and how long did it take you before you decided to go live were you were you waiting and saying you know I'm waiting to get the best camera I'm waiting to get the best software I'm waiting till uh I get a suntan or you know or we did or or are you just ready to go you know see that's what it is you gotta you gotta start before you're ready that's number one start before you're ready it's not perfection that's the best part about going live see like when you do youtube videos or tiktoks or whatever people expect perfection because you're going to go edit it and you're going to take all the best parts you're going to get rid of all the ums and aas and you're going to get rid of all the dead air and all that kind of stuff right dead air I hate I hate it so I you know in a youtube video you cut all that out but in the live people expect it people expect the dog to bark people expect the kid to run through you know with the diaper on people expect you know the doorbell to ring people expect everything to happen with a livestream and when you're a real person okay it endears you to the audience and they they they turn around and they connect with you more because you're a real person you're not you're not some kind of phony active person that's just there to make money and again making money is fine but it shouldn't be the motivator making money comes second okay helping people comes first being of service and solving people's problems you're here to solve people's problems you go on the live stream they're shopping they go down to the bottom they see the video or you're live and they're trying to get a question answered in order to make a decision to whether to buy or not right so they go down there and there's your live stream and they click on it and they say oh hey um does it come in blue does it come in extra large okay will they ship it to mexico right so you know they could ask any question and you're able to answer the question help them make a decision to buy right and that's what it's all about so we're going to cut it short that's going to be the end we're almost at an hour we're just about 55 minutes right now so we're going to cut the end we went through everything in the stream we went through our 15 things through lisa i hope you have a great stream what time you're going on tomorrow did you say i will be looking out for you i'm not sure if you're still in the chat let me know what time you're going to be on and i'll and i'll definitely stop by say hi as far as doing live streams my advice would be to do it okay don't wait to do it do it get yourself you know situated figure it out everybody uses different stuff if you're trying to figure it out and ask people questions what camera do you use what mic do you use what sofa do you use what camera and what what computer do you use do you use internet or wi-fi do you use a laptop do you use a macbook do you use a tablet you know everybody does it differently some people go live on their phone and just use their phone right some people have a big uh studio right some people have millions of dollars of equipment and dedicated stuff some people are smaller so it's whatever start what you have if you only have the phone do it use the phone right uh and upgrade always look to upgrade and that's what i said before is every time you feel like you're getting good at it you upgrade and you change and everything gets different okay and a bolster butterflies here i don't know what's going on with my chat but it's not working my chat's not working but i can see it over there so hopefully you guys are okay 11 am central so 11 central 11 12 is that is that one o'clock eastern on eastern time so i think that's one o'clock eastern time right no it's earlier than that no you were coming after yeah you come after so the list is going live 11 a.m on central time on amazon come by and check about what uh what what do you do again what is i think you said was it tech or family stuff i think i'm learning how to coffee too okay so start before you're ready is what i would say start before you're ready start what you have if you only have a phone just get started do what you got to do definitely uh and you're going to go live to nobody you're going to go live to nobody be prepared to go live to nobody um and here's a here's a mistake everybody makes Joseph and uh when when uh beauty and home i thought so when you start your stream right i always start my stream and i i uh i have the i have the big buttons here and what happened when i press the button and i get right into it i don't say oh no one's here let's give it five minutes and let everybody show up don't do that that's a mistake okay you're gonna play right in because the replay viewers are what you're getting okay you're gonna go and you're gonna be chopping this up into smaller bits for for reuse right so uh don't make the mistake of saying okay we're gonna wait for the other platforms to sign in and we're waiting for some people to show up and you know the people that are there shouldn't have to wait for the other people they they showed up on time don't make them wait they're gonna leave right they're gonna leave so as soon as you get live now i have i have a two minute counter at the beginning just because the all the streams do need a couple of seconds to get together right and go live at the same time but uh two minutes is is different then i'm live and i get right into it and i don't i don't waste your time i get right into the content and that's what you need to do okay um that's my last bit of advice and i will see you next time now we're gonna go live Tuesday eight o'clock and we're doing uh trivia we're gonna do a better trivia than we did this Tuesday so come by give me a second chance to run a trivia on Tuesday um i will see you then okay now let's see if i can do this with smoothly
