Confident Live Marketing Show

Although the podcast continues, I'm having a couple of weeks off the live show of the Confident Live Marketing Show. But since it's almost Christmas, it would be rude not to have a Christmas Special of the show! In today's episode, I'm joined by special guests (including Jeff Sieh, and Sam Chaplin) with fun, music, questionable jokes and live video tips.

Do you try and hide one aspect of yourself when you go live? Do you worry about how you look, your accent, your voice or something else? It’s so natural to want to try and cover up certain aspects about ourselves - especially our flaws. But what if those “flaws” were what made us unique and special? What if those bits attracted our perfect audience? I am so over the moon to be joined by Luria Petr...

Rob Balasabas is the Brand Evangelist at TubeBuddy.com, and speaks at various conferences, s...

How much do you use LinkedIn? Do you find it’s the last network you tend to pop into? Or are you a bit of a LinkedIn junkie. LinkedIn is an old social network, but it’s also the new cool place to be (move along TikTok!). But so many people aren’t using it effectively. And despite video and live video being the hottest content formats on LinkedIn, they’re being really under-utilised! I’m so excited...

So, you’re going live regularly… You’re showing up and being consistent. You’re looking professional! But… You’re not selling. Why? Maybe you’re scared? Scared of offending your audience and being too pushy? Maybe you just don’t know how to sell? Well, in today’s show, I am thrilled to be joined by none other than Mr Chris Ducker! I’ve known Chris for almost 5 years when I joined his community You...

We’ve talked about confidence a lot on this show. But what actually is it? And what is it NOT? Are we all born with it? Going live can be scary, but it’s also an amazing and rewarding adventure - both business-wise and personally. And that’s not just my view - that’s the view (and the words) of this episode’s amazing guest - Patrice McCauley who is a certified Transformational Life coach. We’ll be...

How active are you on LinkedIn? Do you use it regularly and effectively, or is it just another social network that you leave to the sidelines? I regularly broadcast to LinkedIn Live but I wouldn’t say I’m using LinkedIn to its full potential. So thank goodness Amy Woods is here to give me a gentle nudge – or a great big shove! – in the right direction. As the founder of Content10x , a niche creati...

One of the biggest struggles my clients and audience face when planning their live shows, is knowing what to say. That's kind of odd because live stream video is just another kind of content - just like blog posts, podcasts and regular pre-recorded video. But, although live video shows are just another type of content format, it is also pretty unique, and they have their own challenges. So, how do...

Broadcasting live video and getting in front of the camera can be a struggle - especially doing that consistently. And I am not talking about the tech. Mindset - and what happens in your brain before and during your live broadcast is so important. Over the past few years, I've had to deal with loads of issues. You might be surprised to hear this, but I'm actually a fairly shy person. And I am an i...

Back in 2015, if you wanted to live stream, there wasn't that much choice. I started with OBS Studio which certainly had a learning curve. Since then, a plethora of different tools have come on the scene each with a variety of features. So, in 2020, does the perfect live video streaming tool exist? And if not, what comes close? Well, as you'd expect, there isn't a perfect tool, but there can be a...

So you've got started with broadcasting live. You've set up your microphone and camera. But what next? I've always been a great believer in bootstrapping your live video studio over time.

A few weeks back, I did a deep dive into using Facebook Live Producer. It allows you to do some cool things like create and manage streams to your page, groups and profile, set up cross-posted videos, create polls, questions and more.
