Discover Who You Are With Online Video

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

The classroom, as a learning environment, can teach you a lot given the right guidance from your instructor. What is key is not how much your teacher knows but how much he encourages open communication by leveling the playing field between teacher and student as well as allowing opportunities for self-discovery.

In the business world, the same open communication is the key to fostering engagement with customers. While written content is considered a staple, live video as an interactive medium of communication is emerging as the platform of choice if you are looking to move your business to a higher level. Incorporating essential classroom strategies and humanness with how you do business can prove to be very effective.

Professor Nez is not your average teacher. He has a powerful teaching-learning approach where he is not the center of ultimate knowledge but significantly the facilitator who sets the stage for experiential learning. He is a career coach, author, and Writing and Communications professor at Chapman University.

He works with various brands and businesses to implement effective social media strategies.

Ep 005: Livestream To Grow Your Business

Livestream To Grow Your Business

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

Live streaming has garnered a lot of attention of late because of its ability to attract subscribers and potential clients. Although some have been very successful in making it work for their business, not everyone can earn from it directly - and this is not a bad thing because there are other paths you can take as a business owner to help you maximize various live streaming benefits.

Certainly, you can go ahead and sell products to monetize live streaming. But like most successful live streamers, you can also opt to use live streams to build long-term relationships with clients. Re-purposing your live stream content to create an online portfolio is likewise a smart move toward solidifying your digital footprint. Whichever way you choose, when done right, there is no doubt that you can take advantage of live streaming to grow your business.

Broadcasting has always been Ross Brand’s first love. He’s been an on-air personality, show host, and reporter. In 2015, his passion was ignited once more as he watched and participated in shows on Blab. From there, the @livestreamuni Twitter account came to life, sharing news and live stream broadcasts. In just 8 days, @livestreamuni garnered 500 followers. Driven by the early adopters’ fervor for the platform, Ross opted to feature broadcasters and brands through his creation, LivestreamUniverse.com and produced high-quality content using live stream platforms.

In this Episode:

How Ross loves featuring live streamers, learning from them and getting to know live stream personalities
The 3 paths by which live streaming can be used to get direct earnings or foster relationships with customers
How simple selling can be done via live streams
How to build relationships or build your personal brand using live streaming
How to repurpose live stream content to your blogs, YouTube channel, Twitter, or LinkedIn, through the portfolio method

The importance of developing a live streaming skill set today for its huge future potential
How to deal with the fear of live streaming especially for first-timers
The basic tools to get started with live streaming using what you already have
Ross’ red carpet experience at Mario Armstrong’s Never Settle Show
