WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.880 All right. So today we are going to be talking about how to host your first online event. 2 00:00:06.880 --> 00:00:11.760 That seemed to be a topic that has come up quite a few times. And so we've talked a lot about 3 00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:16.480 challenges or you guys are probably familiar with challenges. At least you were all on one 4 00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:23.840 if you got to this point in one of our, you know, workshops, workshop, whatever you want to call it. 5 00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:29.120 And so, but if you're going to do your first online event, it could be a challenge, right? 6 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:35.200 That's like, that is one way to do it. But what I've also encouraged people to do is just to do 7 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.480 a one-off single event training. Like just a, you can call it a free training. You can call it a 8 00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:46.960 free workshop. It could even be a paid workshop if you want. But this is a great way to just get 9 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.840 in front of your audience and help grow your audience. And also it just gets you familiar 10 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.040 with all the tech things that have to be like, even what Tamir was saying about going live on 11 00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:03.360 TikTok, that could even be, you could host an event that way. Set a time, go live, invite people 12 00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:08.560 to it. It could be as simple as just going live on TikTok. I'm going to talk a little bit today 13 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.920 about kind of a way to do that with a Facebook group and kind of something that you would maybe 14 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.880 schedule out a week or two in advance and then invite people to and how to kind of advertise 15 00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:23.200 it and promote it and all that. So maybe just let's talk through some of the like reasons of 16 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.880 why even like use an online event. I feel like, well, one thing if you're doing it live, 17 00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:36.640 there is the algorithm benefit of you're going to get priority even for, you know, you can do it 18 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.080 privately, you can do it publicly. If you do it publicly, obviously you're going to get more 19 00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:46.800 eyeballs and people get notified. Like if they're a part of your page or your group, I at least know 20 00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:52.480 on Instagram and Facebook specifically, like they'll get a notification that you've gone live. 21 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.600 So it's just something that puts you in front of more eyeballs than any other type of post that you 22 00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.560 could post. Another thing is I think there's benefits to you as a creator. It gets you out 23 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.199 of your comfort zone. It places you in the, it's a positioning tool as far as placing you as an 24 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:15.600 expert in the, for your who and what you're teaching. And so I also think it's, you know, 25 00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:19.280 there's the benefit of that. And I think, you know, there's kind of a natural progression here 26 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:25.280 from the short form content, the TikToks, which is really just here's a thought and you're just 27 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.560 sharing a quick thought or a big idea. Just a quick thing. You know, in your YouTube videos, 28 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.480 you're kind of going at a level deeper and, and taking, you know, kind of like elaborating on 29 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:42.640 that one idea, maybe giving some backing like resources and all that. This is a way to go kind 30 00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:47.840 of the next, it's the next step essentially is like a 30 to 45 minute sermon, you know, 31 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:53.200 teaching would be great because think about it, like, you know, we're all familiar with sort of 32 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:58.000 the length of a sermon, you know, that's actually bringing about some thoughts, some, you know, 33 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.360 about some kind of a lot deeper thoughts on a particular topic. And, you know, we, if we just 34 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.880 went, you know, and had a five minutes or a 60 second sermon, it's not really going to necessarily 35 00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:13.440 move you downfield. But I think for people to really feel that movement, these events are very 36 00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:18.800 helpful because one, you're sharing content kind of at a deeper level, and you can actually engage 37 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:26.320 with an audience. And the fact that there is an audience that's live, it just makes it feel like 38 00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:30.240 there's a community like, you know, obviously, when people are watching a YouTube video that's 39 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.200 pre recorded, they can see that there's other viewers, but there's not really engagement other 40 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.040 than, you know, commenting, but being on a zoom call together, you know, 2030 people, 100 people 41 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.320 can be really inspiring. And just it just helps make it a lot more accessible, I guess. 42 00:03:48.320 --> 00:03:52.320 And I think, you know, again, you can think about it differently. I think when we say event, 43 00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:57.200 sometimes we get really stuck in a very particular definition of what that means. It feels very big, 44 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:02.400 maybe too big for something for us to like, do. But this could be an interview. Yeah, 45 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:07.120 like this could be you interviewing somebody else. And so it doesn't have to be just you 46 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.120 doing straight teaching. It doesn't have to be just you, it could be something you're either 47 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.160 co teaching with somebody, or you've invited an expert that you think you're who would love to 48 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.920 hear from. So there's several different formats that this could look like. Yeah, I think it's 49 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:29.520 more just the format is just going to be that sort of 30 to 60 minutes. And you can do any 50 00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:34.400 kind of content. An interview is great, because think about it, like you've got an audience that 51 00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:38.320 you're building. And that person that you're interviewing has an audience that they've built. 52 00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:44.320 And so you guys get to kind of share each other's audience on that. They'll promote it to their 53 00:04:44.320 --> 00:04:48.480 group. You know, you'll do that. And maybe you can talk about some of the success you've had. 54 00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:56.400 I've done this two different ways. So just recently, I was interviewed by somebody, 55 00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:00.160 and it was live. And so, you know, I've 56 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.400 shared it to my audience saying, Hey, I'm going to be talking with Nanette about anxiety and peace. 57 00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.440 So it was something that her, who was interested in hearing, obviously, because she was the one 58 00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:14.080 who invited me to come speak about it and that we did that live. And so there was some interaction. 59 00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:17.920 It wasn't like that she didn't host any Q and A's, but there were definitely calling out comments 60 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.880 and things like that. That was one way of doing it. One, another way that I've been testing on 61 00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:29.600 my channel, because I haven't jumped off the cliff of doing something live yet, um, is I 62 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.720 interviewed, I'm doing a mentor series on posture right now. So I'm inviting people who have poured 63 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.000 into me. And I've said this to my audience. These are the people that are pouring into me, 64 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.320 what I'm pouring out to you guys. And I invited my audience like, Hey, is this something you'd 65 00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:46.160 be interested in for season eight? So they felt a part of the decision. They, you know, I got a 66 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.920 lot of great response from it because I knew it was going to be different than what I've done the 67 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.680 past, you know, eight seasons or seven seasons. And so I've, I didn't know what it would look 68 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.600 like. Like I didn't know how the interviews would go necessarily. Well, the very first one I did, 69 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:06.560 it was a 90 minute interview. And I, um, what I've done, I did it pre-recorded because again, 70 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:12.560 I hadn't done it before and I wanted, I wanted to have some control over it. And I planned on 71 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:18.240 taking clips of that interview and making those my weekly episodes. And then what I've done is 72 00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:24.480 I have the full conversation available in my, like on my website, which is my tribe platform. 73 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.960 And so people can sign up for free, give me their email and they can watch the full conversation. 74 00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:34.240 The interview, the first one I did really, in my opinion, went so well because my guest, Ashley, 75 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.240 I feel like was super articulate. And like, every time I asked her a question, it really was 76 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:44.080 a standalone answer. So it gave me a ton of content more than I was actually anticipating. 77 00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:49.200 So for the last almost two months, I've each week, I've played a clip of her answering one 78 00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:53.120 of my questions. And then I've invited people. If you want to watch the full conversation, 79 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:59.440 you can go on the website and watch for free. So I've been able to get people's email addresses, 80 00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:04.240 but it was also great for me batching content. Just for, I was able to take a break and just, 81 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.400 I've been releasing these once a week. Also, I think what's been really cool, which I wasn't 82 00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:14.800 anticipating is it's allowed my community to really soak and focus on one particular topic. 83 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:21.360 So the topic was basically how to live a lifestyle of rest. So instead of going to the next thing, 84 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:28.240 we've spent now almost eight weeks talking about the same thing. And it doesn't feel repetitive 85 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:34.240 because some people have just joined in week six and they can go watch the full conversation. 86 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.640 Maybe they've seen each of the clips, but it's been a reminder for people who have seen every 87 00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:42.960 single clip of like, Hey, this is a reminder of like something I need to lean into. So it's been 88 00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:49.040 really, there's been a lot of benefits to that, that I wasn't even anticipating happening. And 89 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.280 so, yeah, so you can, and it's only done one interview. I have other people that I'm going 90 00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:59.760 to be interviewing. So there's a lot of possibility, but it's been really good. And the feedback has 91 00:07:59.760 --> 00:08:03.840 been really amazing. Some of the stats, can you remind me some of the stats? 92 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:09.520 I'm sure we're bringing it back to the live. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I would just say like 93 00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:14.720 the views have been like, Oh yeah. Yeah. I can share some of those. Yeah. So we, 94 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.160 cause I didn't know, you know, this is not, you know, people have been used to a certain format, 95 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.000 so I didn't know how it would go. And the views have told me that it's gone like really well, 96 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:29.920 people are enjoying the content and they're watching it. Right. They're watching it each 97 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:36.799 week. Yeah. Yeah. I think the one post that you did, it was out of the last two years, 98 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:42.400 it was one of your top 10. Yeah. It was like the seventh piece of content. Yeah. Yeah. In the first 99 00:08:42.400 --> 00:08:49.200 week. So don't feel that just because it's an interview, it's going to be a lower quality 100 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:54.640 content. Like it's my, he was really invested in it. And I think what helps with that is just 101 00:08:54.640 --> 00:08:59.840 being really organized and having your questions thought out, jumping on there and just kind of 102 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.520 coming up with the questions on the fly, which I don't think is anyone else's, but that's kind of 103 00:09:03.520 --> 00:09:08.560 my stage. I will like, you know, kind of think of stuff on the fly, but I think that is just 104 00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:12.640 being organized. You'll know kind of where you want to guide the conversation and where you want 105 00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:17.920 to end up. And you and Ashley have had a lot of other conversations offline. So that made it really 106 00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:21.680 easy. Yeah. And maybe not every interview will give me eight weeks of content. Like it might just 107 00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:26.560 give me three weeks or it might give me two weeks, but the format has been really helpful to kind of 108 00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:31.120 clip it up, have the full conversation available. People want to watch the whole thing and encourage 109 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:36.880 them to do that. And it's kind of given a neat opportunity to grab their emails. Cause again, 110 00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:41.440 we've been talking about that, being able to get them to a place where I can communicate with them 111 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.240 out of any of these channels. Yeah. And I would say as well, like for the law, like again, 112 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:51.440 bringing it back to sort of a live format, interviews are great. And also if you guys 113 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:55.840 are looking for someone to interview, like looking kingdom messengers, like all of that, 114 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.840 a great way to practice this would be to interview each other because we. 115 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.720 all kind of know what each other are talking about. 116 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.280 We've seen each other's content. 117 00:10:04.280 --> 00:10:05.160 That would be a great way 118 00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:07.320 because you're then taking all of your audience 119 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.440 and you're taking all of, you know, 120 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.960 another team of messengers and kind of bringing it together 121 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.760 and you already have a little bit of, you know, 122 00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:16.460 relationship so it shouldn't be too, you know, awkward. 123 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.260 And again, do it in different phases, 124 00:10:19.260 --> 00:10:20.640 like do one where it's recorded 125 00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:22.240 and then edit it and post it 126 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.760 or go straight and do, you know, do one live. 127 00:10:24.760 --> 00:10:27.640 I think there's a huge advantage. 128 00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:32.640 There's a, like if we did all of our challenges prerecorded, 129 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.880 I don't think many people would show up. 130 00:10:35.880 --> 00:10:37.280 I think there's a certain magic 131 00:10:37.280 --> 00:10:38.600 that happens when it is live. 132 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:39.440 Absolutely. 133 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:40.760 And that's why we would encourage you 134 00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:43.000 to try an online live event. 135 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.840 And this is not something, 136 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.020 don't think of like some of the challenges you've seen 137 00:10:47.020 --> 00:10:49.380 where there's like hundreds or thousands of people 138 00:10:49.380 --> 00:10:50.260 in a challenge, right? 139 00:10:50.260 --> 00:10:52.360 Like doing a huge online event. 140 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.440 It could be you setting up a Zoom call 141 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.320 and sharing your Zoom link to your audience. 142 00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:59.440 And the people jump on Zoom 143 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:00.580 and they're part of the conversation 144 00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:02.680 and you're just having it, you know, you're just chatting 145 00:11:02.680 --> 00:11:04.120 and you could record it. 146 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.480 And if you want to be fancy, 147 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.200 you can stream that call into Facebook 148 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.680 using the, I did a tech Tuesday training from last week 149 00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:13.800 that we can grab. 150 00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:17.620 But that was, that's really just a huge, 151 00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:19.480 like I think there's a huge advantage 152 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:20.880 about kind of being live together 153 00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:23.320 and sort of the, when two or more are gathered, 154 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.640 I think there's a huge advantage to that. 155 00:11:25.640 --> 00:11:27.240 Well, and I got to see that last week 156 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.000 when I was interviewed by Nanette 157 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.940 because people were very actively engaged in the comments. 158 00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:34.760 And so it felt like more of a conversation, 159 00:11:34.760 --> 00:11:37.520 less of just like me speaking at people. 160 00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:39.160 So yeah, I mean, definitely. 161 00:11:39.160 --> 00:11:40.400 Yeah, and keep, and like, 162 00:11:40.400 --> 00:11:43.040 I think that's the thing is the pressure can come 163 00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:44.480 when you're doing a live event, 164 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:45.960 but you want it to be flawless. 165 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.720 Like you want it to seem kind of produced. 166 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.620 Don't worry about that. 167 00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:51.080 Like actually the more raw it is, 168 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:52.420 like just being a Zoom link 169 00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:53.780 and it being very, 170 00:11:53.780 --> 00:11:55.780 it kind of gets the technology out of the way. 171 00:11:55.780 --> 00:11:57.900 We used Restream, but it was very, 172 00:11:57.900 --> 00:12:01.300 but it was like very casual, not overly produced. 173 00:12:01.300 --> 00:12:02.780 And yeah, it felt great. 174 00:12:02.780 --> 00:12:04.000 And it was easy for me too, 175 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.060 just if you're wondering like what's on the other side 176 00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:07.180 of like your guests doing it, 177 00:12:07.180 --> 00:12:08.700 it was very easy for me to jump on. 178 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:11.460 And so, yeah, so don't, you know, 179 00:12:11.460 --> 00:12:15.240 like there's people that I think that are in your communities 180 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:16.960 and in your spheres that would be honored 181 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:18.340 to do something with you guys. 182 00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:21.180 So don't hesitate to make the ask. 183 00:12:21.180 --> 00:12:22.020 Absolutely. 184 00:12:22.020 --> 00:12:23.100 That's good. 185 00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:26.700 So Restream, it was a question here for about Restream. 186 00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:27.820 That's a tool that we'll use. 187 00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:29.300 I'm gonna talk about it a little bit today 188 00:12:29.300 --> 00:12:32.700 and there's a tech Tuesday coming out this afternoon 189 00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:34.500 that will like show you how to set up Restream. 190 00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:37.220 So we're on the same theme of live events 191 00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:39.020 and all that the last couple of weeks. 192 00:12:39.020 --> 00:12:41.780 So now to make this really easy 193 00:12:41.780 --> 00:12:43.700 and I'm gonna spend some time, we'll talk through this, 194 00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:46.780 but we, I know you guys love checklists. 195 00:12:46.780 --> 00:12:50.880 So we made you a checklist that you can use. 196 00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:53.840 We'll drop this as a PDF so you can get it. 197 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.660 But for now, I just wanted to talk through it for you guys. 198 00:12:56.660 --> 00:12:59.160 So there's kind of some different phases for this. 199 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.480 And this is kind of a simplified version 200 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200 of when we run a challenge. 201 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.080 You can ask Tamara, like we've got so many checklists 202 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.000 that we use for, you know, where the ads go 203 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.640 and landing pages and sales and all kinds of stuff. 204 00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:15.480 It's overly complex and I wouldn't start there. 205 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.680 Like do some kind of, again, 206 00:13:16.680 --> 00:13:19.760 you're gonna build up to something like a challenge. 207 00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:20.600 And this is a great, 208 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.640 because it doesn't really take a lot of pre-planning. 209 00:13:22.640 --> 00:13:24.440 And so what I've done is I've added 210 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:25.920 some like optional things here. 211 00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:28.480 So again, if you don't wanna do paid ads, 212 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.440 like don't do this whole section, right? 213 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.940 This whole thing is optional. 214 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.840 But like I said, it could be as simple as here, 215 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.200 going into just doing some free advertising. 216 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:42.840 So just posting on Facebook saying, hey, you know, 217 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.680 in a, you know, this Thursday, 218 00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:46.180 I'm gonna be talking about this. 219 00:13:46.180 --> 00:13:49.400 You could go live just from your phone to your Facebook 220 00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:51.280 and just say, hey, I've got some friends, you know, 221 00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:53.440 we've been doing, talking about this topic. 222 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.640 I'm gonna go ahead and host a free online event. 223 00:13:55.640 --> 00:13:56.960 If you're interested, you know, 224 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.080 you can, you know, join our Facebook group. 225 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.760 You could, you know, register on Zoom. 226 00:14:02.760 --> 00:14:05.600 Zoom has a great, like has a meeting functionality. 227 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.200 People can put their email addresses in 228 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.720 and it automatically sends them a reminder and all that. 229 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.680 So you can look into some of that. 230 00:14:12.680 --> 00:14:15.040 Keep it really, really simple. 231 00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:16.240 And just advertise, you know, 232 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.840 you could do a TikTok, right? 233 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:19.440 Or real or YouTube short, 234 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.680 that's just 60 seconds of you giving a teaser 235 00:14:21.680 --> 00:14:23.440 of what to expect. 236 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.160 And then just don't feel afraid to post often. 237 00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:31.160 Like you could post daily leading up to your free training 238 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.380 and just giving like little short thoughts there. 239 00:14:34.380 --> 00:14:38.320 Cause it's just, it's free traffic coming to your stuff. 240 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.000 And here's the thing with online events 241 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.440 is it is exactly the same amount of work 242 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.440 if one person shows up or if a hundred people show up. 243 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.760 Like, so you may as well have a hundred people, right? 244 00:14:48.760 --> 00:14:50.920 So take, go like, 245 00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:52.680 this is something we're still getting, you know, 246 00:14:52.680 --> 00:14:55.080 used to doing, just being very- 247 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:55.920 Repetitive. 248 00:14:55.920 --> 00:14:58.120 Repetitive, like not being afraid to be repetitive. 249 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.320 Cause people miss things, they forget things. 250 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.960 And I think we're all afraid of like being too, you know, like annoying people, 251 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:09.120 but you don't, people are used to seeing things multiple times and they need to 252 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.920 see things multiple times often in order for them to take action. 253 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:12.640 Right. 254 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.920 And so, um, the format of it could look something like, um, like I said, 255 00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:18.040 a private Facebook group. 256 00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:20.360 So we could set up a private Facebook group. 257 00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:23.920 I'd recommend all of you guys at some point, creating a private Facebook 258 00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:25.920 group for your, like a community. 259 00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:28.080 So this is a free group. 260 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:29.840 You don't necessarily have to have it be paid. 261 00:15:30.280 --> 00:15:32.320 Um, we have kingdom messenger community. 262 00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:34.720 And that's just a place to keep everybody. 263 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.240 We've got about 1500 people there, but not everybody there 264 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.080 obviously is in membership. 265 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:42.320 So it's a way to kind of warm people up there. 266 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.520 They've got some level of our community, some like kind of a 267 00:15:45.520 --> 00:15:49.200 taste of what the community is like, but then they can always go deeper 268 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.880 and join roadmap or membership or whatever else we've got. 269 00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:55.720 Uh, and so creating a, that free group and you can run all of 270 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.640 your events to the same group. 271 00:15:57.640 --> 00:16:00.480 It's not like you have to go create a group for every single training. 272 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.520 You just create one group and you just continue to bring people in 273 00:16:03.880 --> 00:16:07.600 because the goal of that is that let's now, every time we do a 274 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.120 challenge for kingdom messengers, like we have 1500 people already in 275 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.440 the group that may participate. 276 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.840 And they are, and we just give them access to it, um, moving forward. 277 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.440 So once they, even if they pay for a ticket to an event, we just give 278 00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:24.440 them tickets for every single event in the future, because it's just a 279 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.000 chance to be in our world, to chat, to be on zoom, connect. 280 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:32.320 And the only way that we can do that is we've made the group who 281 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.400 specific, not necessarily topics specific. 282 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.320 So our, who is kingdom messengers. 283 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.600 These are people, as you know, that are interested in leveraging 284 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.800 the digital landscape, naming the group I'm talking about and kind 285 00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:45.240 of how you think about the group. 286 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.400 So instead of, that's why, you know, it's not like a topic. 287 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.560 It's not topical. 288 00:16:51.040 --> 00:16:53.800 Make it who specific, because then you can do multiple events and it's 289 00:16:53.800 --> 00:16:56.320 still serving the same who that's good. 290 00:16:56.560 --> 00:16:56.920 Yeah. 291 00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:58.000 And it's not tied to one. 292 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.760 And then you don't have to create one over and over again. 293 00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:02.320 Um, yeah. 294 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.760 So then let's get into, uh, we'll go back to this here. 295 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.480 So, um, yeah, email and texts. 296 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.040 I see Susie's got a question. 297 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.880 Um, you could definitely capture email addresses. 298 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.680 You could do a simple landing page. 299 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.200 You could do, uh, you could have, um, like I said, a zoom, um, meeting. 300 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.160 So let me, I may actually just show this a little, yeah, 301 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.880 kind of a real example here. 302 00:17:27.560 --> 00:17:31.960 Um, since we're, let's switch over to here. 303 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:41.120 Um, so in zoom, um, once you have a, and I would recommend one of the checkboxes 304 00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:46.000 I made was a paid account because, uh, then you can go past 40 minutes, 305 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:46.720 which is really nice. 306 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.800 Let me bring this up here so we can flip between these. 307 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:54.320 Um, so, uh, for zoom, I said, upgrade to a paid account. 308 00:17:54.360 --> 00:17:56.400 You can schedule the meetings ahead of time. 309 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.040 So let me go into meetings. 310 00:17:58.320 --> 00:18:01.840 You can, um, say schedule a meeting and then you can actually 311 00:18:01.840 --> 00:18:04.400 have a registration right here. 312 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.640 So you can actually require that they put their email address 313 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.280 in to register ahead of time. 314 00:18:10.280 --> 00:18:13.240 And that will actually create a list of everybody who attended. 315 00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:16.640 So after the event, you can either follow up on email, you can add 316 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.080 them to your email list, all kinds of things. 317 00:18:19.080 --> 00:18:21.720 So, uh, we can do that. 318 00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:24.520 You can, um, let me just show you this since we're in zoom. 319 00:18:24.520 --> 00:18:27.720 I think a lot of you will be using zoom, so you can give it a name. 320 00:18:27.760 --> 00:18:31.120 So this is where we do say specifically, like, you know, this is going to be our 321 00:18:31.120 --> 00:18:34.120 TikTok, you know, free training or whatever. 322 00:18:34.520 --> 00:18:37.360 Um, so that's the topic. 323 00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:39.000 That's what the training is going to be about. 324 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.720 We put in the time duration, obviously the, the, our time zone. 325 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:47.360 Uh, and then if you're doing a recur, uh, a challenge, like a three day 326 00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:49.480 challenge, you can make it a recurring meeting. 327 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.320 And the cool thing about this is that that zoom link stays the 328 00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:54.240 same for each of the three days. 329 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:59.360 Because let me tell you support on like, well, like people get lost. 330 00:18:59.360 --> 00:19:00.200 They forget the link. 331 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:01.360 They don't know where stuff is. 332 00:19:01.360 --> 00:19:02.440 They don't check their email. 333 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.640 None of you guys, but other people who are in the community. 334 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.440 Um, but they, you know, so we just want to make it extremely easy. 335 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.400 So if they accidentally click on day two's email and they it's day three, 336 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:15.880 they still get to the same spot. 337 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.040 We basically just make it like really, really simple. 338 00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:18.760 Right. 339 00:19:19.120 --> 00:19:24.280 Um, so I would recommend pulling a passcode off and just doing a waiting room. 340 00:19:24.560 --> 00:19:28.000 As you guys know, like when you join these calls, you guys get put into a 341 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.760 waiting room and then Tamara and I will let you in. 342 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.280 So that's a great way to kind of control who's in there. 343 00:19:33.600 --> 00:19:37.160 But, um, you know, it doesn't have to, you don't have to create a passcode. 344 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.280 This passcode thing just makes it another step. 345 00:19:40.280 --> 00:19:42.680 It's another thing for people to email you about. 346 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.040 Cause they forgot it or can't find it. 347 00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:45.360 Yeah. 348 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:45.880 Yeah. 349 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.760 And, um, I'm just going to, what we typically do is have everybody muted on entry. 350 00:19:50.760 --> 00:19:51.920 Let me zoom in a bit here. 351 00:19:52.280 --> 00:19:57.160 And, um, I, I always have it checked to just automatic recording and I tell 352 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.000 it to go to the cloud, which means it will store it on zoom. 353 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.120 So that way, when I start my meeting, it just automatically starts recording. 354 00:20:03.320 --> 00:20:05.560 I don't have to remember to start recording. 355 00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:11.200 And I just say people can join any time and that's pretty much it. 356 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.840 You don't really need to worry about anything else. 357 00:20:13.040 --> 00:20:14.520 So I could hit save here. 358 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.840 Let me show you what that does. 359 00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:18.920 It actually gives you something down here. 360 00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:21.360 So there's a meeting link just to let people in. 361 00:20:21.560 --> 00:20:25.360 But there's also this cool registration link. 362 00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:30.240 So if I go here to that link, it's going to look like this. 363 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.160 So now I could have spent more time. 364 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.840 I could have put a description and said, 365 00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:35.600 like, what this is going to be about and all that. 366 00:20:35.800 --> 00:20:40.320 But people can basically register right there, put their email address and register. 367 00:20:40.520 --> 00:20:42.000 And then I think Zoom will actually send 368 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.880 them a reminder when the time comes, I believe. 369 00:20:45.080 --> 00:20:50.680 Not actually use this extensively, but that's generally how it goes. 370 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:52.840 And then 371 00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:56.400 let's see here. Yeah, I think it's email settings. 372 00:20:56.600 --> 00:20:57.720 Yeah, you can send them. 373 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.320 I think there's like a question. 374 00:21:00.520 --> 00:21:03.160 Yes. How do I direct people? 375 00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:04.440 The video. Yeah. 376 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.040 I let the video just be on. That's a good question. 377 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.960 Let me go back to edit this. 378 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.120 That is right here. 379 00:21:15.320 --> 00:21:16.880 So I just leave both of these on. 380 00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:21.760 And they get an option to turn it off. 381 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:27.560 The person joining the call, so it's yeah, we just prefer to do everything as as on 382 00:21:27.760 --> 00:21:30.200 just because then you can just see people's face. 383 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.160 And again, they can always have the option 384 00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:35.560 to join with video, join without video when they join. 385 00:21:35.760 --> 00:21:37.800 So that's pretty much it. 386 00:21:37.800 --> 00:21:39.480 That's how you would kind of set this up. 387 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.680 Here's a here's something that will save you hours. 388 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.240 Don't do a webinar ever on Zoom. 389 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:48.720 Just don't do it like no one needs it. 390 00:21:48.760 --> 00:21:51.840 We messed up in the beginning and thought that was the way to go. 391 00:21:52.040 --> 00:21:53.960 It doesn't that doesn't do it right. 392 00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:55.840 No one uses webinars. 393 00:21:56.040 --> 00:21:57.760 Doesn't mean you have you have like 394 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.520 hundreds or thousands of people in your group like use a meeting. 395 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:06.840 The meeting has all the features you need to have a much more normal conversation. 396 00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:10.440 Webinar is like just more of a broadcast out to people. 397 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:11.480 There's no engagement. 398 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:13.760 So you may as well just go live from 399 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:17.520 Restream to Facebook and just have that like you or you and the person you're 400 00:22:17.520 --> 00:22:22.080 interviewing just sort of broadcasting out the webinars. 401 00:22:22.280 --> 00:22:24.040 It's just not worth it. 402 00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:27.480 So if you're because you see webinar and you're like, oh, this is a free online 403 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.320 event, I want to do a webinar, not a meeting. 404 00:22:29.520 --> 00:22:31.120 And then you go down the wrong path. 405 00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:34.440 And it's also I think there's also a paid 406 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.440 you have to upgrade your account to even be able to do that. 407 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.080 So let's jump back here. 408 00:22:40.280 --> 00:22:43.200 So that's Zoom upgrading your paid account, 409 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.320 scheduling your meetings ahead of time, which we just did, and then just grabbing 410 00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:50.440 that link and just having it so like that registration link, I could copy this. 411 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:56.000 And every time I post into Facebook, if I go to TikTok, I could add this to my solo 412 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.440 to list to say, hey, register for the upcoming webinar. 413 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.000 This is just you want to get everybody to 414 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:05.480 this page so that they kind of pre-register and get you get their email address. 415 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.520 That process. 416 00:23:10.520 --> 00:23:12.760 So if there's a lot of Susie asked, 417 00:23:12.760 --> 00:23:15.120 how do you see all the participants when there's a lot of people? 418 00:23:15.120 --> 00:23:17.960 OK, so Zoom will figure that out for you. 419 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.720 So generally, I think it puts twenty five 420 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:24.360 people or up to 50 people, depending on your settings on a screen. 421 00:23:24.560 --> 00:23:28.400 So obviously we don't have we only have 14 people on this call. 422 00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:34.320 But if you had 50 or 100, you would just see kind of the most recent twenty five. 423 00:23:34.520 --> 00:23:36.400 And then you can actually page through that. 424 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:37.520 They give you multiple pages. 425 00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:38.920 The other cool thing is if someone does 426 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:41.200 start speaking, Zoom kind of rearranges that. 427 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.960 So if you just keep looking at the at the main screen, it will put that person 428 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.920 on that new screen kind of highlight this is why reactions are really helpful. 429 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.880 Like if you are doing interactive asking 430 00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:55.280 people to raise their hand in Zoom by using the reactions, because that way you 431 00:23:55.280 --> 00:23:59.160 might not see them if they're on page two or three, but it will pull them to the top 432 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.040 if they raise their hand under that reaction. 433 00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.400 Yeah. And if some of you guys were in 434 00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:08.600 the training with Anne McDonald, she has a couple of things that like I'll just 435 00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:15.000 share for ideas, but she'll have people she just constantly asks people to engage. 436 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:16.760 There's all these studies that I think 437 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:22.640 like if you take notes or if you just listen, you get like a certain level of, 438 00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:26.160 you know, that remembers retention. 439 00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:28.080 If you're actually taking notes, that's better. 440 00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:29.480 But if you're actually engaging in the 441 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.080 conversation, you're much more likely to retain that information. 442 00:24:33.280 --> 00:24:37.120 So asking a lot of questions, like asking people to respond in the right. 443 00:24:37.320 --> 00:24:40.040 Yeah. So just saying like, you know, you're talking about a topic. 444 00:24:40.040 --> 00:24:42.120 OK, so like just let me know, like raise 445 00:24:42.120 --> 00:24:46.280 your hand, let me know if like anyone here has this like has ever encountered 446 00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:48.480 this or have you ever wondered about this scripture? 447 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.840 Like, let me know in the chat, like you're just giving a lot of cues 448 00:24:52.040 --> 00:24:56.080 or else it's just you talking and sort of preaching at people, which is not you kind 449 00:24:56.080 --> 00:25:00.000 of want to lean into the style of it being a live event, feeling interactive. 450 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.480 within. Yeah. And sometimes it's just good for people like, I don't do this, 451 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:06.920 but this is something like and and other, I've seen other people do this. 452 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:09.560 They're like, okay, so this is great. And you're, this is making sense. 453 00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:12.400 Like put a one in the chat. If you're loving this, put a two, 454 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.600 if you're really confused and something. And then people just like one, one, one, 455 00:25:15.600 --> 00:25:17.080 one, one, or two, two, whatever. 456 00:25:17.760 --> 00:25:20.680 Because it helps her navigate where to keep the conversation. 457 00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.360 Like are people following her? 458 00:25:22.360 --> 00:25:24.200 Do people need her to repeat something? 459 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.960 And it's a way for people instead of like writing a paragraph of like, 460 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.760 I don't really understand that this was where I'm stuck just saying like one or 461 00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:33.120 two keeps the conversation flowing, but lets her see, okay, 462 00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:35.640 I think I need to repeat this. I need to spend some more time on this idea. 463 00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:39.320 Yeah. And I think, you know, it's, it's fun. 464 00:25:39.320 --> 00:25:43.640 Like when we do a challenge people the chat is amazing. 465 00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:48.240 Like the chat is just like, it just never stops coming in and people are, 466 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.080 you know, quoting us, they're putting like different things in there. 467 00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:54.680 So it's, it's a lot happening. So sometimes it just sort of happens, 468 00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:57.520 but a lot of people aren't used to that experience yet. 469 00:25:57.520 --> 00:26:01.280 Or maybe they've been using zoom for work and it's not fun at all. 470 00:26:01.280 --> 00:26:03.160 It's just like, we're just getting business done. 471 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.520 So it's just a way to make it more fun. And you're, 472 00:26:06.560 --> 00:26:10.400 you can kind of have where if you were like on a platform and a bunch of people 473 00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.120 in an audience, you would just be chatting. And I mean, 474 00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:16.000 you could be sort of speaking and then they could ask a question. 475 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:18.960 It's very formal. There's sort of like you're teaching, 476 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.400 there's sort of one channel where you're talking and you're having a 477 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:22.560 conversation with the camera, 478 00:26:22.760 --> 00:26:25.920 but then there's like another conversation happening in the chat. Right. 479 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.280 And it's just a fun way to to keep both of those going. 480 00:26:29.280 --> 00:26:31.120 I mean, it makes people feel more part of it, 481 00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:34.480 more and more a part of a conversation instead of just being talked at. 482 00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.440 So it's a different learning environment that we have found is a way better 483 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:43.320 activating environment than just talking at people and pretending they're not 484 00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:43.720 there. 485 00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:48.200 And this sort of style of online events we'll say like is a little different, 486 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.520 like a lot of marketing guys and stuff that are doing sort of webinars. 487 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:56.520 It's it doesn't do that really as it's not as effective, 488 00:26:56.520 --> 00:26:59.880 I think, like making yourself accessible, 489 00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.640 like just by being on a Zoom call, 490 00:27:01.760 --> 00:27:05.720 people are very surprised when they join some of our challenges that we're 491 00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:08.120 just on and it's live and it's Bruce and Lindsay. 492 00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:11.160 And we just ask questions like it feels very accessible. 493 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.640 And we're not like broadcasting this super overly produced message. 494 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:17.960 And then you just take notes and hope that it like works out. 495 00:27:18.280 --> 00:27:22.880 It's a lot more it's just a lot more raw and it's OK if mistakes happen. 496 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.560 Yeah, we've had people join, obviously, that aren't muted. 497 00:27:25.560 --> 00:27:28.880 And then like, you know, their kids are screaming or something happens. 498 00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:31.320 Right. And people are so much more used to that now. 499 00:27:31.320 --> 00:27:34.840 It's like post-COVID world, like because people are used to be on Zoom. 500 00:27:34.840 --> 00:27:38.680 So they're not the expectation isn't even that it's like overly produced and 501 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.720 smooth. Like people get it like, oh, they've they need to mute or whatever. 502 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.360 People just like move on. Laura had a great question. 503 00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:48.720 She said, do you recommend a chat monitor like another person to help you 504 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:50.080 assist you while you get the message? 505 00:27:50.080 --> 00:27:54.400 Yeah. So as you know, like Tamara is running the chat typically 506 00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:55.920 for all the challenges in here. 507 00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.480 And I because we all get lost talking to you guys and I'm looking at your faces. 508 00:27:59.800 --> 00:28:02.400 But my the chat is kind of down to the side over here. 509 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.680 So I have to actually look down there to see what it is. 510 00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.120 Yeah. If you have a friend 511 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.840 or someone or a fellow Kingdom Messenger that can just hop in and sort of 512 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.000 be in the chat and available. 513 00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:16.040 I think that's that's a great thing to do for each other. 514 00:28:16.040 --> 00:28:19.160 They can also help feed questions to you, you know, depending on what 515 00:28:19.560 --> 00:28:22.560 you know, how engaged they can be, you know, if they're comfortable 516 00:28:22.560 --> 00:28:24.920 being on camera saying, hey, we had a great question in the chat. 517 00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.120 If they know your content, know where you're wanting it to go. 518 00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:29.960 So it just depends on what level you want them active. 519 00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.680 But even if you just want them in the chat, just monitoring. 520 00:28:33.560 --> 00:28:35.920 I think it's helpful, especially if you have a larger group of people. 521 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:38.560 Yeah, absolutely. 522 00:28:38.560 --> 00:28:41.280 Susie was asking, should you limit the number of attendees? 523 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.080 You can. I think that's kind of a different tactic 524 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.320 or strategy where you're like, hey, there's only 15 seats available 525 00:28:49.320 --> 00:28:53.400 and, you know, get ready registers to, you know, for the seats fill up kind of thing. 526 00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:56.920 I think people realize that like this is a Zoom call. 527 00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:58.400 Like there's not 15 seats. 528 00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:00.320 You could have a thousand people join. Right. 529 00:29:00.320 --> 00:29:04.160 It's not so it could seem a little gimmicky if you don't do it right. 530 00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:08.680 I understand there's a there's a advantage if it's a smaller group, 531 00:29:09.040 --> 00:29:12.240 but that's something is just you can control how many people come 532 00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:17.240 just based on, you know, how big how much you're promoting it. Right. 533 00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:21.520 So if you get five or 10 people registered or 20 people registered 534 00:29:22.120 --> 00:29:26.200 and keep a good metric in mind, like generally a third of the people 535 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:27.880 that register will show up. Right. 536 00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:29.840 And that's like if you're doing a really good job, 537 00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:31.960 like reminding them and emails and all of that. 538 00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:35.760 So don't be upset if like 20 people sign up and then, you know, 539 00:29:35.760 --> 00:29:38.600 eight, eight actually show up on the Zoom. 540 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:41.760 You will typically get 60 percent of all the people who registered 541 00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:44.440 will watch the video, the replay and all that. 542 00:29:45.840 --> 00:29:48.720 And again, these metrics vary, but that's just a set expectation. 543 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.840 So you want to get more people registered than then you're going to be on there. 544 00:29:52.840 --> 00:29:56.080 But yeah. Awesome. 545 00:29:56.080 --> 00:29:58.560 OK, I'm just making sure we're catching all the questions. 546 00:29:58.560 --> 00:30:00.040 So let me get back to. 547 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.400 to our little list here. 548 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:06.000 So we talked about Facebook group. 549 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:09.280 You can also link to the, 550 00:30:09.280 --> 00:30:11.600 if you wanted to host a group, you don't have to. 551 00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:12.920 It is a nice thing to kind of, 552 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.460 for the people to immediately get the replay, 553 00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:18.040 you can use the training that's the Tech Tuesday 554 00:30:18.040 --> 00:30:20.880 where you stream from Zoom to your Facebook group. 555 00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.600 And that way, just like we're doing for this call right now, 556 00:30:23.600 --> 00:30:26.400 like we're streaming here into the Facebook group. 557 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:27.800 And so right after this call, 558 00:30:28.280 --> 00:30:30.840 everybody can watch the replay who missed it. 559 00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:31.680 So that's just a nice- 560 00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:32.500 In Facebook. 561 00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:33.340 Yeah, in Facebook. In the group. 562 00:30:33.340 --> 00:30:35.720 And they can still chat and have conversations 563 00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:38.040 and it kind of keeps the content there. 564 00:30:38.040 --> 00:30:39.800 And having to like download it from Zoom 565 00:30:39.800 --> 00:30:41.840 and upload it somewhere is a little bit 566 00:30:43.280 --> 00:30:44.900 troublesome to do all that. 567 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.320 So I definitely recommend a group. 568 00:30:48.320 --> 00:30:51.080 It kind of keeps people engaged. 569 00:30:51.080 --> 00:30:52.440 If you're doing a group as well, 570 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.280 like have like a welcome video. 571 00:30:55.280 --> 00:30:56.900 I'm probably gonna add that here as well. 572 00:30:57.020 --> 00:31:00.060 Create a welcome video 573 00:31:00.060 --> 00:31:01.700 and then pin it to the top of the group. 574 00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:03.260 So you've seen that in some of our groups, 575 00:31:03.260 --> 00:31:05.740 it'll be a video from us saying like, 576 00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:07.380 hey, welcome to this group. 577 00:31:07.380 --> 00:31:09.580 And then we give them clear instructions to say, 578 00:31:09.580 --> 00:31:11.820 hey, go ahead and introduce yourself 579 00:31:11.820 --> 00:31:15.780 or go ahead and let us know what you're excited to hear. 580 00:31:15.780 --> 00:31:18.300 People can either comment and do a post in the group 581 00:31:18.300 --> 00:31:19.340 or they can go live. 582 00:31:19.340 --> 00:31:21.680 It's even better if you can go live. 583 00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:24.180 We've not really pushed that as much in recent challenges, 584 00:31:24.180 --> 00:31:25.060 but we should. 585 00:31:25.060 --> 00:31:27.620 But people would go live and just introduce themselves, 586 00:31:27.620 --> 00:31:28.860 say where they're from, 587 00:31:28.860 --> 00:31:31.420 and then just say what they're expecting. 588 00:31:31.420 --> 00:31:33.540 It just kind of builds anticipation for it. 589 00:31:33.540 --> 00:31:35.420 And it lets you kind of get familiar with like, 590 00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:36.580 who's even in the group. 591 00:31:36.580 --> 00:31:38.980 Like, you know, who actually showed up 592 00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:41.900 or who actually responded to your promotions. 593 00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:43.820 So keep the welcome video short but sweet 594 00:31:43.820 --> 00:31:46.460 and just give them whatever the next call to action is 595 00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:47.520 and how you want them to, you know, 596 00:31:47.520 --> 00:31:49.860 if the event's coming up on Thursday, 597 00:31:49.860 --> 00:31:51.600 here's how you're gonna be able to participate. 598 00:31:51.600 --> 00:31:53.580 You're gonna get an email reminder. 599 00:31:53.580 --> 00:31:55.980 You can click on that link, join the Zoom call. 600 00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:58.120 If you're unable to make it live, you can watch the replay, 601 00:31:58.120 --> 00:32:01.880 just a few quick instructions so they kind of feel informed 602 00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:05.460 as far as like how to participate in the event. 603 00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:07.100 Awesome. And in the group. 604 00:32:07.100 --> 00:32:08.540 Yeah, and then, you know, 605 00:32:08.540 --> 00:32:10.500 content, I left this pretty much open-ended, 606 00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:14.420 but just make sure that you are prepared, right? 607 00:32:14.420 --> 00:32:17.680 Like have your notes, print it out, have it on a screen, 608 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:18.820 just have something ready to go 609 00:32:18.820 --> 00:32:23.140 because it gets a little crazy when that happens 610 00:32:23.780 --> 00:32:25.020 and it's live and you're trying to do all the streaming 611 00:32:25.020 --> 00:32:28.340 and stuff, so then to not have your notes like right there, 612 00:32:28.340 --> 00:32:31.580 you know, you are kind of carrying the show essentially. 613 00:32:31.580 --> 00:32:34.380 So if you're, you know, but also, I mean, 614 00:32:34.380 --> 00:32:35.620 you don't have to be overly produced, 615 00:32:35.620 --> 00:32:38.540 just be, it's more to keep yourself comfortable 616 00:32:38.540 --> 00:32:39.740 and feel on top of it. 617 00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:41.100 Know where you're wanting to land. 618 00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:42.500 I think that's important because especially 619 00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:43.700 for a clear call to action. 620 00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:44.780 Clear call to action, yeah. 621 00:32:44.780 --> 00:32:48.320 Yeah, as long as, as far as like, where do you, you know, 622 00:32:48.320 --> 00:32:52.620 time flies once you hit the live record button, 623 00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:55.500 people are interacting, you might be answering questions. 624 00:32:55.500 --> 00:32:57.660 So just, and just know where you want to land 625 00:32:57.660 --> 00:33:00.020 so you can bring it back to that point at the end. 626 00:33:00.020 --> 00:33:01.340 That's good. 627 00:33:01.340 --> 00:33:02.180 That's awesome. 628 00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:04.260 How does pinning work, oh. 629 00:33:04.260 --> 00:33:06.380 Yeah, I can, we can show you some pinning 630 00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:07.660 and then Karin said, 631 00:33:07.660 --> 00:33:09.860 suggest using a few slides to mix it up. 632 00:33:09.860 --> 00:33:11.420 I think the slides are helpful. 633 00:33:12.300 --> 00:33:15.780 You know, if it adds value, it's kind of like 634 00:33:15.780 --> 00:33:18.420 just having a slide to have a slide isn't helpful. 635 00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:20.260 Like if you have a specific scripture 636 00:33:20.260 --> 00:33:23.380 or you're trying to show them a illustration 637 00:33:23.380 --> 00:33:24.220 of some kind or something. 638 00:33:24.220 --> 00:33:25.660 Or if you have points. 639 00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:26.500 Yeah. 640 00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:27.340 Like if you're, you know, that you're, 641 00:33:27.340 --> 00:33:28.820 like I say, something that would be helpful 642 00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:30.340 for their note-taking. 643 00:33:30.340 --> 00:33:33.140 So they have it, they can like see it and write it down. 644 00:33:33.140 --> 00:33:36.420 Yeah, and again, you're just going to share your screen, 645 00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:37.780 you know, if you're using Keynote 646 00:33:37.780 --> 00:33:40.100 or if you're using, you know, 647 00:33:40.100 --> 00:33:42.140 whatever Google Slides or something, 648 00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:45.660 it's definitely easy to share that into Zoom. 649 00:33:45.660 --> 00:33:48.420 But you'll see like things that we're doing, 650 00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:50.580 like even I'm not just sharing our screen 651 00:33:50.580 --> 00:33:52.780 because then you guys will just be staring at my screen 652 00:33:52.780 --> 00:33:53.740 and not staring at us. 653 00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:56.060 So I'm like clearing the screen and back to, 654 00:33:56.060 --> 00:33:58.180 like we're talking now and then I'll share it again. 655 00:33:58.180 --> 00:33:59.900 It's probably a little bit annoying 656 00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:03.260 because like Zoom kind of like changes everything you see. 657 00:34:03.260 --> 00:34:04.220 But we'd love to be able to, 658 00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:07.580 when we share our screen, we can only see us. 659 00:34:07.580 --> 00:34:08.940 So that's just something to keep in mind. 660 00:34:08.940 --> 00:34:12.739 So I don't want to just have that on for 30 minutes, right? 661 00:34:12.739 --> 00:34:14.020 And not be able to see your faces. 662 00:34:14.020 --> 00:34:16.420 I want to kind of keep re-engaging everybody. 663 00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:19.500 So that's good, yeah. 664 00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:21.900 We're tech savvy, but we want to get you guys tech savvy. 665 00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:23.139 We've made all the mistakes 666 00:34:23.139 --> 00:34:25.620 so we can give you the shortcut option. 667 00:34:26.739 --> 00:34:30.580 So, awesome. 668 00:34:30.580 --> 00:34:31.900 You're going to show the pinning. 669 00:34:31.900 --> 00:34:32.739 Pinning, yeah. 670 00:34:32.739 --> 00:34:36.100 Just real quick, if you're in a group, 671 00:34:36.100 --> 00:34:39.300 so if I go, let's go to Facebook 672 00:34:41.820 --> 00:34:44.300 and we're in a group like this. 673 00:34:44.900 --> 00:34:47.980 So we have our, this is us right here. 674 00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:50.219 So you can actually go to the top here 675 00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:52.260 and we just say pin to featured. 676 00:34:52.260 --> 00:34:54.699 So we typically do this for every main session. 677 00:34:54.699 --> 00:34:56.699 And then now when I land here, 678 00:34:56.699 --> 00:34:59.780 it actually has it as the first post right there. 679 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.320 people don't miss it because especially if your group gets large like if you guys I don't know if 680 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:09.280 anyone ever heads back over into the Kingdom Messenger community there's a lot of people just 681 00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:15.600 posting their stuff and that creates other issues we have to moderate and stuff so pinning that's 682 00:35:15.600 --> 00:35:21.520 how it works and then you can also like unpin and then you can and then if you want something 683 00:35:21.520 --> 00:35:27.280 like this to be in the front you can actually move to front there's all kinds of options to 684 00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:32.400 kind of arrange this little carousel and then it typically is going to be at the top here as well 685 00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:39.840 so awesome and then yeah offer and next steps like even if you don't have anything to sell 686 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:45.200 have some call to action at the end and just be prepared for that so if you're gonna if you do 687 00:35:45.200 --> 00:35:50.560 want to sell a program or maybe you don't have to have this fancy landing page or whatever it 688 00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:55.760 could be you setting up a tool like Calendly that lets someone book a call with you right 689 00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:01.040 so if you're doing a one-on-one consultation or coaching or something Calendly is great and you 690 00:36:01.040 --> 00:36:06.720 can just drop the link in the chat in the zoom but have it ready to go so that when you mention 691 00:36:06.720 --> 00:36:10.800 and typically we'll do something we'll do a transition it's taken us some time we're still 692 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.760 getting used to doing that transition but you get into this like teaching teaching just giving giving 693 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.560 giving and then you have to have this really awkward sometimes transition to so if anybody 694 00:36:20.560 --> 00:36:26.640 wants to pay us then like yeah that's but there's a great way to do that we typically use something 695 00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:32.160 like okay so if you're wondering like how to work with us more this is what we do every week this is 696 00:36:32.160 --> 00:36:36.400 what we train on if you'd like to work with us here's how you do that because there are going 697 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:40.240 to be people that are like hey great this is awesome give me more like how do i i want to 698 00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:44.080 connect with you if you're coaching or you're doing counseling or something like that if you 699 00:36:44.080 --> 00:36:48.160 have a product or a resource that you're selling right yeah so this is like how i can go deeper 700 00:36:48.160 --> 00:36:52.640 with this person don't like underestimate how many people would be are interested in connecting 701 00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:59.680 with you yeah and if you're just getting started a free what we call a discovery call is great 702 00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:06.960 keep it and this is a whole nother training on on that process but but an easy effortless thing is 703 00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:12.560 set up calendly you do a 20-minute call and you just see if it's a good fit so then they can 704 00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:17.920 either buy your program or sign up for a coaching thing or whatever we just do it free if you've 705 00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.560 got because it lets you connect with your audience and just have a little bit of a touch point 706 00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:26.640 afterwards and you get to know them a little better so now you've noted that so when you're 707 00:37:26.640 --> 00:37:32.240 you know creating additional content and stuff you just know who you're talking to um that's great 708 00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:38.000 um awesome i think we answered all the questions so that's our little checklist we'll include that 709 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:43.520 if you guys are interested and want to just reference that um in the future um just double 710 00:37:43.520 --> 00:37:49.120 checking i covered everything this is very very high level this is sort of like doing an online 711 00:37:49.120 --> 00:37:55.920 event in the simplest way possible you know zoom to streaming you know to to facebook group is 712 00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:00.640 great grabbing email through a zoom registration link so you're not having to do another program 713 00:38:00.640 --> 00:38:06.400 or anything like that yeah i think if i could do things again i would start even more simple than 714 00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:12.640 we did we went and did landing pages and click funnels and different you know when you add like 715 00:38:12.640 --> 00:38:17.120 a free plan people can watch on youtube versus people who could be in the group or people who 716 00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:22.880 are on zoom like we have three ticket types like don't do that like so like we've tried it it just 717 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:28.160 creates a like we have to have um three times as many different emails go out that each person gets 718 00:38:28.160 --> 00:38:32.880 their right link and it's it's just a lot to manage um and we try to get a little too fancy 719 00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:36.800 too soon i think i don't know if it really moves the needle it doesn't make a difference like if 720 00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:40.080 you do a lot of extra work i mean now that we've gone back and we've kind of been able to see what 721 00:38:40.080 --> 00:38:46.320 has actually performed i think that it hasn't none of the extra stuff naturally moved the needle 722 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:51.760 but the consistency of being able to have a very clear path for people to be able to find out about 723 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:58.160 your event register for your event and then attend your event that has as simple as it can be for 724 00:38:58.160 --> 00:39:05.520 somebody to do that um makes all the difference i think yeah that's great uh some of the chats if 725 00:39:05.520 --> 00:39:09.680 you guys have any questions we can take a couple of questions and then we'll get back to our kind 726 00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:14.800 of regular um questions i know some people submitted some things but any comments on this 727 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:26.160 in general or ideas cool everybody was all crystal clear i see susie's unmuted 728 00:39:27.520 --> 00:39:35.920 no no you're just sure yeah um awesome well hopefully this makes it feel very accessible 729 00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:41.440 um that's the goal so if you want to simplify it and try to demystify this whole idea of going live 730 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:46.160 um and i'll let me just make one other comment because i just saw michelle's face and i know 731 00:39:46.160 --> 00:39:54.320 we've got some some uh worshipper worship leaders and stuff in here just like i think a live worship 732 00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:59.840 session would be awesome like to host a live worship thing or dj or whatever 733 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.920 you want to do. Yeah that stuff does so well because it's just it's so easy to join like 734 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.440 you could just you could just go and that's more of a like a broadcast obviously you wouldn't 735 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:14.640 probably use Zoom but you can just do something like restream and just broadcast that message 736 00:40:14.640 --> 00:40:18.800 out into YouTube and Facebook and just let people kind of participate in the chat. 737 00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:26.480 And then I would say a level two of that is you can invite people that whether it's a prayer 738 00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:31.760 ministry team, friends of yours that are part of the worship, prophetic people to be in the chat 739 00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:37.280 ministering to people while you're leading the worship or doing a concert. You don't have to 740 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:44.000 do that but if you wanted to level up yeah that's something too that you can do that is really fun 741 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:48.960 and cool and we've been a part of some of that type of stuff before. Really good and I would also 742 00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:55.120 just like the challenge to end on this the call to action is like pick a date like just put something 743 00:40:55.120 --> 00:41:01.840 out in the future just attempt to do your first online event when there's no pressure so just 744 00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:06.160 just put a date on the calendar pick and then you can still figure out what the topic is and then 745 00:41:06.160 --> 00:41:10.800 just do a little promotion and just see who shows up and just see what happens because you'll get to 746 00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:16.000 connect with your who in a totally different way that you haven't before so that's online 747 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.800 events and we hope you guys have a good first event.
