I’ve just reached 10 000 subscribers on my little YouTube channel 😊. .
.
.
And I’m grateful for every single person who watched, liked and subscribed to my channel. 🥰
.
.
.
I was told at a young age that I didn’t fit the “look” to be on camera... but @youtube gave me access to a platform without gatekeepers where I get to create content and share it how I want. .
.
🙋🏻‍♀️I’m glad to be here and I’m glad to be able to create, share and reach people every day. 💖❤️💗💞

If you want to repurpose your Facebook livestream so you can create more social media content, take the Facebook live stream and then create mini videos from it. 😁🎞️⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Yes, mini videos from the big video! So I'm going to show you how to do this in Facebook Creator Studio because you can actually cut up your Facebook livestream directly within Facebook itself without having to use any extra tools. ⁠⠀

Do you ever feel #insecure about your #business and your ability to ‘make it’?⁠
⁠
Well, I’m pleased to tell you that you are not alone. We all do. ⁠🙇🏻‍♀️
⁠
When things don’t work out the way we expect in business, whether that’s not making the level of money we would like to, or not growing as fast as we thought we would…⁠
⁠
People (myself included) tend to blame it all on themselves. ⁠😿
⁠
We create stories in our head and tell ourselves that we’re:⁠
not good enough⁠
not made for business, ⁠
and we may as well give up. ⁠🙀
⁠
And it’s a shame because being in business is an amazing way to create freedom, express your creativity and help the world in only the way that you can.⁠
⁠
You can’t allow that pesky voice in your head to derail you from what you’re meant to do. ⁠🤔
⁠
There’s never been a better time for people like us to be successful in business.⁠🤩
⁠
We have access to technology and the ability to reach people more easily than ever before. ⁠😎
⁠
Imposter syndrome, fear and insecurity about ‘making it’...everything you may be experiencing is completely normal. ⁠
⁠
You might think that when you get to a certain level of business or income level, all the fearful feelings will go away.⁠
⁠
“When I make a regular income from the business, life will be perfect ”⁠
⁠
Mmmmm. Sorry to tell you...it won’t. ⁠🤨
⁠
The reality is, I feel doubt and insecurity all the time and I’ve had regular income from my business for years.⁠
⁠
I don’t feel this all day, every day...but it’s there.⁠
⁠
And you know what?⁠
⁠
Successful business owners I know tell me that they too still feel like imposters. They also have doubt and insecurity. ⁠
⁠
Here’s the good news though…⁠😜
⁠
What scares you today won’t scare you tomorrow⁠
⁠
What is overwhelming today will be business as usual tomorrow.⁠
⁠
So go and do what you were meant to do my friend. ⁠
⁠
You've got this. ⁠

It’s Mid-November 2019.⁠
⁠
Shops are selling Christmas goodies and the holiday season will be here before you know it. ⁠
⁠
But there’s something that business owners like us forget: the year is not over yet! ⁠
⁠
We still have some of the year left.⁠
⁠
And now is not the time to give up. ⁠
⁠
Now is the time to go full steam ahead and finish the year off in style. ⁠
⁠
The words “it can wait until next year” shouldn’t even be in your vocabulary yet.⁠
⁠
And even if this year has not gone to plan, the truth is you can still get out of your own way rock the rest of this year to make sure 2019 was a win for you.⁠
⁠
Is it finally finishing your website and putting it out there?⁠
⁠
Is it mustering up the courage to do your first livestream on Facebook? ⁠
⁠
Is it running ads for a course/product/service?⁠
⁠
Whatever it is, now is the time and you can do it. ⁠
⁠
You've got this my friend. ⁠

One of the most important skills I’ve worked hard to develop is speaking in front of a camera.⁠
⁠
I’m an introvert by nature, but one of the key activities that has grown my business was video.⁠
⁠
I’ve never made a secret of the fact that I’m a huge introvert. Yes, really. Super introverted.⁠
⁠
Please don’t comment and say, Sara, you seem so confident or Sara you are not an introvert because honestly, I am. I get my energy from being alone and being around a lot of people is incredibly draining for me.⁠
⁠
For me, when I first started on camera, I felt overwhelmed because I had a picture in my head of speaking to thousands of (judgy) people. But then I flipped the script and told myself that it’s more like talking to a small, introvert-friendly group of friends. ⁠
⁠
This got me through at first and then doing video became easier for me.⁠
⁠
It felt not so scary. It felt nice. ⁠
⁠
Shifting my mindset really helped me up my game with video. ⁠
⁠
So why is this important to you my friend?⁠
⁠
I’ve come to learn that your #mindset is everything. ⁠
⁠
If you’ve been contemplating going on Facebook Live (or any video for that matter), I released a video that covers mindset shifts to help you feel more confident with video. ⁠
⁠
So, if you’re like me and an introverted business owner, this may help. Link in bio. ⁠
⁠
I talk about how to be more confident on Facebook Live , or any video really. And you'll learn 5 tips for building confidence. 🙂 ⁠

At the end of your livestream to wrap up you need to lead your viewers into your sales process. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You’re in business - to make money!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Your Facebook Livestreams is all about building attraction and closing a sale. And whilst people don’t like to admit it, they want to be told and guided by what to do next. So tell them and lead them on what actions they should take. ⁠⠀

After you’ve delivered the exceptional content in part 3, you’re close to the end of the livestream. ⁠
⁠
What you want to do next is mention the topic again and summarise what you talked about. ⁠
⁠
This is also handy for people who weren’t watching from the very beginning of your video. ⁠
⁠
It’s a common technique used in broadcasting to remind viewers about what they’ve learnt and the value you’ve delivered.⁠
⁠
You can recap by saying something along the lines like:⁠
⁠
‘In this Facebook Livestream I walked you through how to make soft, delicious and buttery brioche that everyone will love. I covered all the steps from what to purchase through to resting your dough and baking it. ⁠

The content should take up the majority of your livestream time. It’s why people are watching. ⁠
⁠
There’s lots of ways to deliver your content. ⁠
⁠
You can talk about your topic in ordered steps, for example steps 1 through to step 5 of how to get from start to finish of your topic. You can break it into as many steps as you need to get through a process. ⁠
⁠
You can also share a collection of tips. I use this a lot in my videos because not all topics have a ‘must follow’ sequence. ⁠
⁠
Case studies of your experience, your clients stories or even observations of people in your market can be used to educate your viewers. ⁠
⁠
Physical demonstrations or reviews are also engaging ways of delivering your content. ⁠
⁠
There’s no rules, only tools so you can pick and choose, even mix it up to get your message across. ⁠

When you start your Facebook Livestream, it’s important to frame the opening by telling them what you’re going to talk about and what they’re going to get out of what you have to say. ⁠
⁠
You want to to entice your viewers to want to watch your video and you can do this by selling them on what’s in it for them (WIIFT). Explain the benefits they’re going to get. ⁠

When it comes to Facebook Live, one of the reasons it has so much impact is because live video is raw and unedited. ⁠
⁠
What you say and how you deliver your content is important to the success of your video. It's important that you don't blab and go on and on. ⁠
⁠
Facebook Live is not a video journal, and you shouldn't treat it as such. It's the place for you to talk about how you feel and how your day was. ⁠
⁠
You need to have a topic and a goal in mind. I'm breaking down what to say so you have a go-to template for your Facebook Livestreams. ⁠
⁠
Introduce your topic. You want to start your video by telling your audience what you're going to cover and what they're going to learn. ⁠

One of the things that make me cringe when I watch Facebook Livestreams is when the broadcaster obviously hasn't got a plan and is just winging it. ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
This rarely works for most people and what ends up happening is they produced clumsy videos. It's a shame because the broadcaster may very well know their content, but it doesn't flow, and it's not concise because they get lost in their thoughts while they're livestreaming. ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
There's something that happens to your brain when you hit record or go live, I'm convinced of it. All of the great ideas and thoughts that you have just disappear along with the funny jokes you wanted to share. ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
A big rule is to know what you're going to say and have it readily available either on a teleprompter or a screen that you can view. There's nothing wrong with using prompts to deliver your content, putting the time and effort into doing your research so that your information and your Facebook Livestream is punchy, It's great content, and people will love it. ⁠⠀

If you want your audience to dread hearing from you whenever they see the notification come up that you're live, be long-winded and take forever to get to the point. People are time-poor and have short attention spans. Keeping your content succinct helps you sound wiser, wittier, and even a little funnier than drawn-out videos. ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Lengthier videos have a place, but people typically associate them with boring, time-wasting, sales pitching content. People want to get to the good bits right away, so give them that.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
To keep your Facebook Livestreams punchy and full of content, plan it out. If you don't script your videos, at the very least, write out an outline of what you're going to cover and have that with you while you're live. ⁠
.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Write it on a piece of paper or have the notes on a device with you that you can glance at. Without a plan of what you should cover, you'll go off track and start rambling to fill the air or blank out completely. And that my friends does not make a great Facebook Livestream. ⁠
