 Hi, I'm George Kow and here's my sweet dog buddy and we are here Actually with my wife She's in the house right now at an Airbnb in Benisha, California I've been taking these every three weeks. We take just an overnight in a local local town Airbnb affordable place, but we were just so lucky to find this place. This is a Osh not an ocean. It's in there's a view of a I think it's a reservoir of Bay, I think and this place has a Sunroom, which is amazing We hung out for the day there. Anyway in this short video. I wanted to talk a little bit about about videos One of the questions I got in my Facebook group was from Laura who said What's my recommendation for using video to engage with audience? What's my audience with one's audience? You know, there's YouTube. There's Facebook video. There's there's blab. There's periscope. So let me just talk a little bit about each one of these Basically, if you're gonna upload video, I have noticed that Uploading video directly to Facebook. It gets the most engagement Sometimes people think well, I thought I did that, you know I uploaded to YouTube and then I shared the YouTube link to Facebook, but that's not the same Take the video where that's on your computer Okay, or on your phone if it's on the phone then what I do these days is I take the phone's video File put it on the desktop on the computer laptop and then I go to Facebook and on my timeline I click on share photo slash video and then I Find the video file and upload it directly to Facebook If you do that and you also do this on YouTube as well You'll find that you'll get more views and more engagement if you upload it directly to Facebook Okay, so give that a try try it I would say at least with 10 videos before you make a judgment on on how it's working out for you Okay, so what about Google plus and LinkedIn and Twitter because I use those as well You know, I basically for Google plus LinkedIn and Twitter. I upload it to YouTube I upload the video to YouTube and then I share the YouTube link directly on Google plus or LinkedIn or Twitter because you can't upload video directly on to those three platforms But they don't get as much engagement as uploading it directly onto Facebook. So I do those Google plus LinkedIn Twitter just for Because there are some people who follow me there, but you don't need to use all those I would say if you're just gonna use one video platform just use Facebook for now Really and then if you feel like you want to use more than than YouTube Of course, then it's easy to share from YouTube to Google plus LinkedIn Twitter. What about blab and periscope? Okay, so blab and periscope are live video platforms Meaning you are doing it in real time. I mean, this is pre-recorded I could have this could have been my tenth take. This is actually my first take But I could have take I could have done this video ten times and you wouldn't know but blab and periscope are like one take real time With periscope. It's a lot of fun because it's people will watch it from different parts of the world And they'll press the the screen to give you hearts You ought to try it out try it out, you know a couple of times People talk about all kinds of things on periscope. Just give it a try and see how you like it I would say try it periscope three times and see how you like it blab is Meant to be sort of like a panel discussion. So if you want to have a discussion with a couple of colleagues on a particular topic Blab is a great way to do it blab. I found is a nice way for people to discover Your your content and videos. It's I found that actually in the short term Blab is better for content discovery than YouTube is in the longer term though It's better to have your video on YouTube because people might find it a year or two or three later So blab is a lot of fun as well because it's it's live And it's easy to bring people on and have a panel discussion. Give it a try. I would say do a couple of blabs Blab is blab. I am and and see how it works for you. See how you like it. I've already done a couple already I've really enjoyed it You can use blab even as a as a solo kind of webinar lecturing the online lecturing tools well And blab on it once you are using blab you can click record and and after you record it After you stop the recording blab will automatically upload it to YouTube for you. So that's really convenient So I hope that's helpful and any questions. Let me know until the next video be well
