Like the rest of the world, should you be jumping on the live video bandwagon? You must have seen other brands, business owners, and entrepreneurs wing it with their live video streams and wonder if you should get into it yourself. It’s not a joke showing your face live on video for the rest of the world to see especially when you also have to muster the guts to say what you want to share. In the name of business innovation and advancement though, this could be the perfect time for you to take the task seriously.
The Fear
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with admitting that going live can be frightening. The fear of doing live videos is real and you are not alone. However, it has its roots in the fear of the unknown - you don’t know what to say exactly, how to go about it, how to deal with glitches, and which gear to use. But once all the basics are properly dealt with, you're surprised at how natural it can actually be. You might even end up enjoying it and become really good at it. You just have to face your fear, face your target audience, and rock the live video world away.
