hey everyone surprise surprise surprise good morning thanks for being here and hey
it's the mike show today guess what i have something of tremendous value for you because
a lot of you our students our audience have been asking for this very thing for a very long time
and we are pulling back the curtain and today in this video i am going to show you
martha's gear list for live streaming video that's right this is exactly what we use
every day to to stream high quality video to youtube facebook linkedin all at the same time
it's what's hap it's what's behind you right now it's what's in front of me right now the exact
gear we use and this is really a bonus video to martha's workshop she's doing tomorrow tomorrow
called social selling workshop okay and we're going to go into more of that later on in
the video and as always if anyone has any questions please put them in the live chat
and then if you have any questions going forward put them in the the actual comments
on youtube or on the facebook video that you see in the seven figures from home group
all right so hey without further ado we're gonna jump right into this and i don't have my
emotional support dog today i don't have herman or cookie with me all right but hey they say hi
hey everyone um at the end if we have time we're going to go ahead and answer your your comments
and address put you up on the screen and interact with y'all because we love y'all okay all right so
i have stuff prepared for you let me share my screen and there i am hopefully i oh oh wait
that's that way that's not what i want to show okay uh oh i'm on oh that's still running
okay stop where is that coming from
oh come on what is going on
oh that's embarrassing sorry everyone okay here we go
all right okay so this is the gear list of what we use every day uh i've made it up for you here
and don't be intimidated by this um this is like exactly what we use we're just
gonna start going down the list here um the first thing is i'm showing you the actual
uh tripod we use so the camera is on a tripod over there and uh all this gear is listed
in the description of this video where you can go to amazon link yes they are affiliate links
because we do that and we teach you how to do that martha's going to be teaching you how to do that
um in an affiliate course in the future here but i just need to let you know that these are affiliate
links um it's just there for if you want to pick up this gear you can okay we've given you options
um so hey here's a tripod it's a tripod okay you may have a tripod you can use your tripod that's
fine i just put the one we use because i've bought a lot of tripods okay and i've bought a
lot of tripods from like best buy and i'll tell you every single one of those tripods has been
defective they've fallen apart um this is a little bit more of a pricey tripod um but the
thing is it also comes with a fluid head which is great which means that you can get really
nice pan shots if you choose to like actually use the tripod for other videography stuff
so that's there if you want it of course if you have your own tripod that's fine
next is the camera this is really where a lot of the magic happens this is actually when i
said it was the exact gear list this is the only thing that's different this is the camera we're
using right now which is called the panasonic gh4 this is what's in the picture but if you notice up
number two says panasonic g7 camera it's because i couldn't find a good link for you to get a g4
if you want it's like i couldn't find a good link on amazon because they're really in high demand
right now because they're like it's a mirrorless camera people use them for video right and it's a
generation pass too so uh it's it's cheaper than the the next generation that's out which is the
gh4 but the reason i put the g7 camera on there and the link to it is because we also have a g7
and i'll tell you what these cameras are amazing you get full 4k video it's super good quality
um you can get the g7 at half the price of the g4 and we use the g7 ii really the only difference
is that the g4 you could drop on the ground and it would be fine and the g7 if you drop it on
the ground it would probably shatter so that's why i put the g7 on there and a link to that because
one i couldn't find a good link for you i didn't want to send you to a link to buy a
camera for like a thousand dollars where you can get the g7 for a fraction of that price so that's
really where the magic happens is the camera and really what we're doing if you see the graph here
we have a couple other components and then it goes into the computer what we're doing is we're these
this number three number four and number five are basically taking the signal from the camera
going into your computer and telling the computer that your camera is a webcam okay so you get
all the benefits of a beautiful picture that these mirrorless cameras do and there's no restrictions
on your computer so the next thing number three is a micro hdmi to hdmi cable that comes out of the
camera so that would come out of your g7 camera go into next what's called a magewell capture card
that's that silver thing number three or number four there this is really where the magic happens
the capture card so if you tried to just go from the the camera into your computer your computer
would can't handle like the signal like the the quality of that of that video so it has to process
it through what's called the capture card so that's really where the magic happens you really
do need a capture card again i have a link there in the description if you want to pick that up
and then another thing is you need a cable to go from the capture cart into your computer
that's the usb mail to mail connection so it's both mult mail sides on each end and
then the computer so we use mac we use apple we use mac i'm oh martha's coming in uh-oh
what are you doing oh martha's coming to say hi she's gonna be a little
circle here we're in a little circle we're in a circle yeah it's right there there's your little
head oh yeah there's martha okay okay so hey we're mac people um you can use a windows pc uh
it it's essentially it would be the same process it actually you would have to do you you could use
less of this stuff at the end i'll show you if you use a windows pc but i'm just a mac person uh i
i don't want to slam on windows but like i had this this turning point in my life years and years
and years ago where i just got tired of every windows system i ever had being slow and i was
just done with it and i went to mac and i never looked back so hey it's a mac uh i don't have a
link for you to get a mac because i don't know i mean i think that's completely i think that's
that's up to you i don't want to send you to a link but here's the thing if you do use a mac
make sure that you get a mac that has a graphics card that's one gig or more so this computer i'm
using right now it's really old but it has a it has a gig of vram so the graphics card is a gig
and we found like on martha's computer if you have less than a gig the whole system kind of
doesn't work like your computer's graphics card can't process the video so just keep that in mind
okay so now out of the computer we're gonna go on to the microphone which you see right here okay um
what we first need is a usb to audio jack adapter that's number seven there
that goes right into your computer as a usb connection and then you plug number eight
into it which is the road cable for apple products okay the funny thing is if you have a windows pc
you don't need number eight it are like the microphone already comes with a cable so you need
a special one for apple in true apple nature right you always need something special in apple so
if you have a windows pc don't worry about number eight uh this rode microphone number
nine which you see right here which we love and we use every day multiple times a day
this thing is always being charged because we love it so much we use it all the time uh
that is really i i mean this i couldn't recommend this microphone more um it's super easy uh it goes
right into this whole system and works so well uh and again if you're on a windows first of all
i commend you for being able to put up with that um but yeah you don't need that proj that that
step and again we have links in the description for all this stuff the stuff we use every day and
how i mean really the reason we can pump out this quality content for you um and martha's in front
of this stuff every day but the funny thing a lot of people don't realize is i set up all this stuff
every day so again if you have questions um on any of this stuff just comment on the video
or comment on the the post of the video in facebook and i would be more than happy to
answer any of your questions okay so number 10 hey ring light the funny thing is if i
were to ask you what is the most important thing in this whole setup what would you say
what do you think is the most important thing in this setup it's your light source okay so
we live and die by our light source um you could have a thirty thousand dollar
professional tv studio alexa airy camera and if you don't have a good light source it's still
the video is gonna look bad okay so your light source is really the most important thing
um and funny because it's really not that number 10 is really not that expensive of a thing and you
pro chances are you probably already have one okay so this graphic is what i call our home
studio setup i wanted to take it even a step further and i want to show you what we use on
the road because obviously carrying around the camera and the tripod and all the other stuff
can be a burden and it could get damaged in suitcases and whatnot so we actually have
a different setup when we're traveling which you could also use as your main setup because
the camera we use is the quality is still really great um let me bring that up for you
let me bring up that graphic let's see
all right i got it for you
so
here is our what we call our travel setup um really the right side is the same thing
um but in this case all you need is a webcam that attaches
uh and this scale is wrong the webcam the number one here isn't actually that big
i just enlarged it so you could see detail but that fits on the back of your laptop
and it goes directly in if you're not familiar with how a webcam works it goes directly through
a usb connection into your pc and the benefit here is that you don't need like the capture card and
all those cables uh it just goes directly in and your computer doesn't have any problem noticing
that it's a webcam again we use the logitech brio 4k webcam which in my personal belief is the
best webcam available on all categories price uh features everything quality of video this is the
camera martha uses on like group coaching and stuff and um it's a really great camera
i have a link to it too in the description if you're interested in checking that out um also
i have software there this is what we use uh we use a software called ecamm
which is basically like a production software uh where that's how i put up like the graphics
and martha puts up the graphics and stuff in front that shows everything uh it's like an
alternative to obs studio if you've ever heard of that which is like what a lot of gamers and
professional streamers use and the thing with obs is that it is really intimidating to learn
uh we use ecam it works great for apple products so that's what we use and basically ecam is like
a vehicle for restream so we send uh restream is how we're able to stream out to facebook youtube
and linkedin or what-have-you all at the same time with ecamm you can just do like one at a time you
could go to facebook you could go to youtube but restream is what we send the ecamm feed through
to be able to broadcast in multiple platforms okay so that's the list folks that's exactly what
we use i really appreciate that i had the opportunity to pull back the curtain
and show you all exactly what you use again those links in the description are affiliate links
just to let you be aware and be completely transparent with you as i said
we have
a workshop coming up tomorrow and this video is really like a freebie
for that workshop uh let me bring that up for you so it's the social selling
workshop it's happening tomorrow martha's doing it november 19 2021 4 p.m to 6 p.m eastern friday
we'd love it if you joined us there it's going to be transformational
uh let me read you some of the stuff she's going to be teaching in this it's just crazy
let me see here i know i had it up
yeah so here's what martha's going over and this is just like a huge value uh so in this
workshop martha's going to be showing you how to create power pack videos for your social media
she's going to be teaching you how to know precisely what to say and better yet how to say it
she's showing you exactly what to title your videos so that it gets watched by your people
titles are important people if you go back to the video i made last week about youtube
and your titles i mean your titles and your thumbnails are how you get watch
watched okay so that's incredibly important um she's showing you how to bring your people
down your pipeline so that you can continue to nurture and serve them
right i mean that's gold and showing you how to increase your audience and get more clients
this is what we do we do this all without ads we've been doing this without ads for years
so this workshop tomorrow is going to be magical i'm going to be there i'm going to be watching
i might even be taking notes because sometime martha just channels brand new knowledge you
know and even i uh get gold nuggets from it so let's see what y'all are saying
uh let's see we got a little time left here
hey michelle what's up hey carrie lynn how we doing let me get that down there and again
that social selling workshop link is probably should be the first link in the description okay
so make sure that they sign up uh for that as soon as you can cindy what's up
andrea how we doing let's see if we got any questions in here
learned so much from you guys every day thanks for this we love you andrea thanks for watching
uh hi she gets to be mike popping popping in rolls reverse today that's right
oh great visual thank you i'm the visual guy i love making stuff like that yeah megan that webcam
is amazing yeah the logitech brio seriously uh we love it it's like it saved us so much
in travel like just just like stress because instead of taking the 1500 camera it's like
we can just take the webcam and it's really the the difference in quality is it's acceptable right
uh what would you recommend instead of ecamm for an android non-apple computer you know the only
thing i really have experience for is like uh other than stuff for apple is with obs so obs
but again you would want to do some re research on obs because obs has a pretty steep learning curve
and it's a bit of an intimidating software in my opinion but hey we're all different
you might see it a different way you might latch right onto it and get it right away
uh william dale what's up how you doing man
have you tried a camera mounted mic still prefer the wireless so the thing with a camera mounted
mic is i only have a little bit of time here um is that it's farther away and like we're kind
of in a room with echo and everything so we we we prefer the lapel mic it just works better for us
but you can definitely try that okay folks i gotta get out of here i'm almost at 20 minutes love you
all god bless you thanks for being here we'll see you tomorrow in the workshop okay bye-bye
