started with live streaming be sure to

okay so just to give you a little backstory last November I
started a Facebook group called creative biz haven and I had this crazy idea
that I would try to go live each week
and I have gone live each week since the
middle of November inside my facebook
group and that still scares me because
video is still something that I
would have never thought that I would
have ever done but here I am now with a
youtube channel and since i started live
streaming it has helped out my business
so much and i want you to just kind of
learn how you could get started with
live streaming and try it out too it's
scary at first sure but the more that
you practice other the better it gets
the same way was doing these videos the
more that you practice at it the better it gets
and you just keep pushing through that fear it does
get better so here are my five tips to
help you get started with live streaming
number one test it out so what I mean by
testing it out as you know doing
something like this where you're just
looking at your camera on your phone and
just seeing how you are on camera making
sure that you have the framing right
making sure that you know you're not
looking up your nose or not looking you
know if you don't have a double chin or
something like that I'm sure probably
not going to want to have that on
YouTube but you know those are things
that you want to think about when you
start getting on the video especially
when it's live because you can't edit it
when it's live number two keep it short
so what I mean by that is
try to keep your live stream anywhere
between five minutes and 20 minutes you
don't want to have it go on too long and
you don't want it to just be too short
so try to share something like three
tips on this or let's answer some
questions or something like that but if
you do decide to answer some questions
be sure that you get those questions
before you do your live stream so you're
not sitting there like so anybody have
any questions number three speak like
you are talking to one person this is
probably the biggest tip that helps me
with the video all together but when
you're doing a live stream it is
especially important because you get on
there and it's freaky at first and
you're like okay I'm just talking to my
phone this is a little silly but if you
just continue and keep talking like
you're talking to one person just have
that one person in mind that you know
needs to hear what you're telling them
and that will really help you continue
through your live stream number four
have an accountability partner
having someone show up live while you are going
on camera is great because you know that
they're there for support and it will
really help you just get through it and
not feel like you're just talking to
your camera I know it might sound a
little silly but just having that
one person there for support will really
help you get a little bit more
comfortable doing your live stream this
can be your biz bestie, your best friend
your partner, your kid and your parent
you know your grandmother who ever make
sure that you have somebody there for
support to help you get through and if
you don't that's fine but when you do
you will be so thankful for that person
showing up for you number five put on
something that makes you feel confident
whether that's it wearing your hair a
certain way or wearing a favorite piece
of clothing or putting on some lipstick
when I first started doing videos I
don't wear any lipstick and now I wear
lipstick and I'm just like whoa look at
my videos it looks so much better I mean
I got into this lipstick called
Lipsense and this color is called brick and
I love it I love it so much a started
selling it so yeah if you're interested
in buying any of this lipstick i'll leave the
link below but you know put on something
that you're comfortable in and put on
something that you feel good about and
that will really just help add to your
confidence... when you're going through
this i'm going on live video ok so i
have two more things if you don't like
the video you can always delete it so if
you go through a live stream and you
really didn't like it or you're not
comfortable with keeping it on there
that's ok you can delete it it does not
have to stay online and that's all you
have to do just get rid of it and then
you can try again and the last thing be
sure to promote your live stream so tell
people that you're going to go live if
you just show up and you're like nobody
showed up I don't know why anybody
wasn't there and then you realize that
you didn't tell anybody that you were
going to go live.. that will be probably be
why no one showed up when you tell
people that you're going to go live a
few days ahead of time they will show up
for you so keep in mind the next time
you're going to go live inside Facebook
or YouTube or Instagram or anywhere else
but hopefully these tips help you a
little bit so that you're not going to
get overwhelmed the next time you're
like should I go live??
