Unlocking The Power Of Livestreaming For Business Growth

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and Ross Brand, as they discuss the importance of livestreaming and the many ways business owners can use it to help generate revenue.

Ross Brand is a live streaming video strategist, podcaster, author, speaker and the founder of Livestream Universe. As an on-air personality and consultant for industry brands such as StreamYard, BeLive, LiveU, and Wirecast, Ross helps grow audiences with compelling content and real-time interactivity.

Ross is the founder and author of the “100 Predictions” franchise, with his book series reaching #1 Amazon Best Seller status in six countries and winning 24 book awards. He’s been featured by Nasdaq TV, Forbes, and Psychology Today.

In this Episode:

  • Ross reminisces about the days when you went live and everybody in your network was notified.
  • Ross talks about the advantages of using live video when you are a small business.
  • Ross suggests we take short clips from our livestreams for Reels and Shorts and TikTok, etc.
  • Ross talks about a lot of ways to get mileage out of a show, even if people don't watch it.
  • Ross also says we should broadcast on platforms where we already have an audience.

Quotes from this Episode:
“An hour of live streaming gives you an hour of content.” – Ross Brand
“If you're trying to get started, trying to build an audience, there's tremendous value in promoting on social both before and after the show.” – Ross Brand
“If you don't have an audience anywhere, or all things are equal I, I would say at this point, YouTube is probably your best bet because YouTube is so actively looking to make people watch video.” – Ross Brand
“The end result is not video metrics it's business metrics. Where are you converting? Where are you getting people into your email list, into your ecosystem?” – Ross Brand
“A show in which you have three viewers, but one buys a product is better for your business than a show in which you have 10,000 viewers and no one buys your product.” – Ross Brand

AFFILIATE LINKS
Thank you for trusting me with my honest opinion on future purchases you may make after listening to this podcast. I am always completely transparent with you. As a friend of The Friedman Group, LLC you allow me to be able to use affiliate/referral links when suggesting items for purchase. Please know I am a customer myself or have done sufficient research to feel comfortable sharing these links with you. When you click on a link and purchase the item I may receive a small “commission.” This allows me to continue to provide you with quality content and doesn't affect you in any way at checkout.

Not every link is a referral link and some appear here because my guest spoke about them and I want to make it easy for you to check 'em out. Thank you!
