WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:16.000
I would love to hear I know we we didn't really get to check in with anyone on Friday, Tuesday, because we had Graham we kind of want to just give as much time as possible, but would love to hear just any wins from the week, or if you have just any aha moments

2
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.000
from Tuesday.

3
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Just feel free you can just unmute yourself we'll just share a bit, and then we'll jump into it, while people are hopping on.

4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.000
I'm going to have someone else go first but I have an aha from Tuesday. Anyone else before I go.

5
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Okay, I'm gonna go really quick. For me, it was the staying fresh. I think in this you know, especially as for those that might not be so techie, you know you might have some days where you're like frustrated about you know certain things and I loved

6
00:00:49.000 --> 00:01:01.000
just mentioning about each and every day, we can remain fresh, even in the midst of the tech going wrong or this or that or the other so that was an aha for me.

7
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.000
Awesome.

8
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Sweet.

9
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.000
Any other wins. Yeah, candy. I can go. I had the same aha.

10
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:27.000
I've been applying kind of what Graham cook was talking about, and just like going to bed and being like all right Lord. Is there anything about today that we need to, you know, be done with removing to tomorrow, and then waking up in the morning and just

11
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:42.000
my first thoughts are like he talked about that too. So, and the Lord's been using my first thoughts to kind of minister to me throughout the day so that was good. Also, I'm finally at a point where I'm posting my shorts every day.

12
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:53.000
So, at least on tik tok and Instagram so I finally feel like I'm getting the flow a flow with that so that's a big one for me. Awesome.

13
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.000
That's great. Very cool.

14
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.000
See like one or two more, and we'll jump into it.

15
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:07.000
See I see Walter jumped on Hey Marcella shows here Holly.

16
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.000
Probably awesome.

17
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.000
And I see Steve's on here.

18
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:22.000
Yeah, I had a bit of a win this morning I just wanted to just share it's kind of a simple one but

19
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.000
I woke up this morning, and didn't even really.

20
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.000
I was tired I just want to sleep in those I don't even know what to do a video on.

21
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.000
I didn't have any in the pipeline and just kind of woke up feeling blonde man.

22
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:43.000
And I was just sitting there thinking and I just started declaring God's Word over, over the day over my feelings over just everything that's going on.

23
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.000
And that took me to Romans 837, and that basically became my video.

24
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:55.000
So, I felt like the Lord tell me, you know, do this video and you'll do it in one day, and I did it and I did it in one day.

25
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.000
And it was, it was like one of my best videos I did.

26
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.000
And so that was just a big win for me.

27
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.000
Nice. Awesome.

28
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:10.000
Very cool.

29
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.000
Very cool.

30
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:22.000
Well, we'll jump into it today we're going to just like got two kind of things, I wanted to just talk briefly about some of the tick tock changes that have been happening.

31
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:37.000
Even in the last couple of weeks. And so just some ways to optimize for tick tock and then one thing I would love to see is I think I've been helping people, even just one on one with some of this and even just how we've done our own content.

32
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:51.000
We are kind of re editing videos I think we've talked about that a lot about how to like re edit bring a hook, you know, into a different place in the video or take something that you posted that worked really well just re edit it and post it again.

33
00:03:51.000 --> 00:04:03.000
You can get a lot of leverage out of existing content so what I was going to do is I reached out on Facebook I think Joe was the only one who responded but if you have a video you'd like me to edit.

34
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:14.000
I would love to go over to cam TV, just to the eight week group, and just maybe upload the video file there just in the discussion tab. I'll try to do like one or two today.

35
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:24.000
Just to show you guys how it can how if, if I was posting your content, what like how I would edit it, which I think would be good just to show some examples.

36
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.000
Yeah, and Steve if you're looking for the raise the button there's like a reactions button, and you can.

37
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.000
You can also just unmute yourself because there's only 10 of us so and just jump in if you have something.

38
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.000
And I think. Yeah, good.

39
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:51.000
Awesome. So, first thing I want to talk about some of the tick tock algorithms and so this stuff changes all the time so this is just something that's kind of in the last couple weeks, I'm just using kind of recent.

40
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:58.000
Some recent things that I've seen from different people that I'm following. I just wanted to help break down.

41
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.100
your videos are taking longer to get views,

42
00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:04.260
or maybe you're posting them

43
00:05:04.260 --> 00:05:05.860
and you're only seeing like a few hundred views

44
00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:08.820
and then that kind of just either dies away.

45
00:05:08.820 --> 00:05:11.100
Whereas in previous months,

46
00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:13.060
you could post something and just immediately

47
00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:16.380
you could get to a few thousand views very quickly

48
00:05:16.380 --> 00:05:17.780
within 24 hours.

49
00:05:18.780 --> 00:05:20.820
What they're doing now

50
00:05:20.820 --> 00:05:24.940
is TikTok is testing your content constantly.

51
00:05:24.940 --> 00:05:26.260
So what it does is it like,

52
00:05:26.260 --> 00:05:28.900
you post the video and it goes and grabs,

53
00:05:28.900 --> 00:05:31.060
like I think, I don't know the exact numbers,

54
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:33.040
but it's a certain percentage of your audience.

55
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.720
They'll go show it to that many people

56
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.860
and they'll kind of see how those people respond to it.

57
00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:40.240
And if those people watch all the content

58
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.360
and they like it and they comment and they engage,

59
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:43.720
then they'll show it to more.

60
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:44.600
And they test it with like,

61
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.560
so they do these different like concentric circles

62
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.360
of people closer and closer.

63
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.040
So they start with people that are either following you

64
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.640
or already are engaging with your content.

65
00:05:54.640 --> 00:05:56.640
And they'll kind of test it with that to see like,

66
00:05:56.660 --> 00:06:00.260
okay, this person already likes Holly's content.

67
00:06:00.260 --> 00:06:02.660
So we'll show that person her content again

68
00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:04.340
and just see if they like it

69
00:06:04.340 --> 00:06:06.620
or if it doesn't really work with them.

70
00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:08.940
So they're looking at a couple of metrics,

71
00:06:08.940 --> 00:06:12.420
like how long is this viewer watching it first of all,

72
00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:13.860
and what percentage of the video?

73
00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.540
So if you do a short 15 second video,

74
00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:18.420
like there's a good chance someone's gonna watch

75
00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:19.860
80 or 90% of it.

76
00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:21.940
If you do a three minute video or a,

77
00:06:21.940 --> 00:06:23.060
and you can have some people,

78
00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:25.700
you can even upload as much as a 10 minute video.

79
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.520
It's very difficult to get people to watch

80
00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:29.000
kind of 80% of that,

81
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.960
cause it's just so much longer.

82
00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:33.360
So these are just things to kind of be thinking about

83
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.400
as you are testing or experimenting

84
00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:37.440
with different types of content.

85
00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:41.040
Definitely experiment with some short content,

86
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.760
like under 30 seconds, under 15 seconds,

87
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:47.600
just to kind of reset the algorithm as well.

88
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.260
So the viewer time, the number of views is important,

89
00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:53.120
but it's not the most important.

90
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.360
It's not just that many people saw it,

91
00:06:56.020 --> 00:06:58.420
it's how long people actually watched the video.

92
00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:00.940
And then also engagement always is a key metric.

93
00:07:00.940 --> 00:07:04.540
Who's watching the video, liking and commenting.

94
00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:07.020
And so one thing I would love to encourage

95
00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:08.080
even our own community,

96
00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:10.200
and I've been a little bit more aware of this,

97
00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:13.020
is when I get on TikTok,

98
00:07:13.020 --> 00:07:16.480
I actually see a lot of your guys' content all over TikTok.

99
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.480
So now when a video from Walter comes up or Joe,

100
00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:24.180
sometimes I'm just like, oh, that's great.

101
00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:25.060
I'm so encouraged.

102
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.160
I double tap it, like it,

103
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.120
and then I just like scroll to the next one.

104
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.920
Or if I've already seen it from you guys,

105
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.520
but now what I'll do is I'll actually sit there

106
00:07:32.520 --> 00:07:33.680
and let it play.

107
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.680
And sometimes I'll just let it play through twice.

108
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.060
I'll just like, even if I put my phone down for a second,

109
00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:40.740
because what that, it could actually hurt,

110
00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:42.800
we can actually, even though we kind of see each other's

111
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.860
stuff and we know each other's content already,

112
00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:46.860
or we've seen that video before,

113
00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:47.700
sometimes you can just be like,

114
00:07:47.700 --> 00:07:48.780
I'll just like it really quick

115
00:07:48.780 --> 00:07:50.840
and I'll move to the next thing.

116
00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:52.040
It could actually be more,

117
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.300
because it'll show that you watched it

118
00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:54.920
for two or three seconds, liked it,

119
00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:56.600
and then jumped off the video.

120
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.260
And that actually is less helpful

121
00:07:58.260 --> 00:07:59.820
than if you didn't do anything with it.

122
00:07:59.820 --> 00:08:01.900
So just a little something

123
00:08:01.900 --> 00:08:03.420
that's not gonna make a huge difference,

124
00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:06.660
but I have been more aware of it now.

125
00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:10.760
So just letting videos play at least till that 80, 90%

126
00:08:10.760 --> 00:08:12.220
before you jump to the next thing.

127
00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:16.660
So that's the one thing was just that it's gonna be slower

128
00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:18.100
and just kind of how they've changed this.

129
00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:22.140
They also are doing a lot more emphasis on brand content.

130
00:08:22.140 --> 00:08:24.060
So if you've seen like,

131
00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:26.120
I'm getting more and more ads in TikTok.

132
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.400
And so they're trying to reach out to brands

133
00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:31.480
and make sure that brands are really relevant.

134
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.340
And they're very much like pushing away from anything

135
00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:37.799
to where it's like entertainment.

136
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.120
Because typically it was like,

137
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.080
TikTok started, it was like dance videos

138
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.760
and just funny memes and things like that.

139
00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:47.580
It was just purely entertainment.

140
00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:51.040
Now they're calling it like edutainment

141
00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:51.880
or something like that.

142
00:08:51.880 --> 00:08:54.000
So it's like educational entertainment.

143
00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:56.220
But it's also very clear.

144
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.900
It's not necessarily just straight education.

145
00:08:58.900 --> 00:09:00.460
Now this is just TikTok as a whole.

146
00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:01.980
You can do whatever you want to

147
00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:03.540
as far as what your content looks like.

148
00:09:03.540 --> 00:09:06.060
I'm just kind of sharing like some of what their,

149
00:09:06.060 --> 00:09:09.580
the shift has been away from

150
00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:12.200
this sort of just purely entertainment

151
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.580
to they're very much like trying to value

152
00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:16.740
like people that are actually educating.

153
00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:19.980
And especially if you can make it entertaining

154
00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:22.660
and educational, that's kind of the best of both.

155
00:09:22.660 --> 00:09:24.160
So I don't think you guys need to go

156
00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:26.560
like try to be a comedian or make it super funny

157
00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:27.960
or anything like that.

158
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.520
But just something to think about

159
00:09:30.520 --> 00:09:33.240
is kind of what they're looking for.

160
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.200
So that's good.

161
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:36.640
So any, we'll just pause for a second.

162
00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:39.600
I'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback from people

163
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:40.960
and then we'll jump into some of the editing

164
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:42.320
here in a minute.

165
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.760
Anything else that you guys have seen as well

166
00:09:44.760 --> 00:09:46.960
even in your own accounts, I'd love to hear.

167
00:09:47.660 --> 00:09:52.660
For me, I noticed the change in the views as well.

168
00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:56.500
So it's interesting.

169
00:09:56.500 --> 00:10:00.300
You're kind of shedding that light as to why it changed.

170
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.120
and, you know, to even it feels like a lesser amount of views.

171
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.680
So thank you for, you know, bringing that shedding that

172
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:08.440
light on that.

173
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.760
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say also, that I'm saying that,

174
00:10:15.520 --> 00:10:19.640
at first, I would get 1000 at one moment, and now I'm down to

175
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.720
74.

176
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:24.600
What did I do wrong?

177
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.640
Yeah, so thank you.

178
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.120
Yeah, and again, it's something that you're doing wrong.

179
00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:35.440
That's why I wanted to let people know, like, if you're

180
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.800
like, Oh, man, am I using the wrong hashtags? I know you guys

181
00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:40.400
are experimenting with a lot of different things constantly.

182
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:44.320
Just one thing to be aware of that that's happening right now.

183
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:45.400
So cool.

184
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:56.640
Who's on here?

185
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.200
There you go. Go for it.

186
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:04.200
Okay, you know, I am. I've been watching it for quite a while

187
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.360
now. And of course, my videos are usually a minute and a half

188
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.160
or two minutes because I play I sing song and I talk a little

189
00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:14.160
bit and I was getting a little discouraged after about six or

190
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:17.680
seven months. And you know, things were it was going down my

191
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.360
my things that usually would have brought in three or 4000

192
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:25.440
views were bringing in three or 400. And I started wondering,

193
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:30.240
what am I doing wrong? Or? And so then one day, I just prayed

194
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.680
to God, God, I don't mind being a one hit wonder. You know,

195
00:11:33.680 --> 00:11:36.640
everybody complains about being one. I said, God, I'll be happy

196
00:11:36.640 --> 00:11:40.360
if I'm a one hit wonder, just give me one hit. And not very

197
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.160
long after that, I had one go viral, you know, and I don't

198
00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:49.680
know why it did. Or I bet it just, it popped. It is no

199
00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:53.400
different than anything else I've done. Yeah. So I think it's

200
00:11:54.400 --> 00:11:56.760
it's very hard to understand. I've stopped trying to

201
00:11:56.760 --> 00:12:02.200
understand it. And that Bruce, I'll let Bruce understand it.

202
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:10.560
Yeah. And I was just gonna say, too, is that, um, well, first of

203
00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:15.480
all, I've been really enjoying the content. And sometimes, you

204
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.840
know, you don't realize that among the kingdom messengers,

205
00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:24.520
there's some super good stuff. And I, I've really enjoyed the

206
00:12:24.520 --> 00:12:28.960
content. And I'm that one person. And that's what the Lord

207
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.160
when I first got more enthused, he's always been enthused about

208
00:12:33.160 --> 00:12:36.760
this from the time I signed up with Bruce and Lindsay. And to

209
00:12:36.760 --> 00:12:39.680
the point, I thought, geez, maybe I wasn't supposed to do

210
00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:43.120
this. But he said, Yes, yes, you are. I'm like, Oh, I'm not doing

211
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.080
anything more. Okay, you're supposed to do it. And so the

212
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.360
numbers, Jesus said to me, he said, Bobby, do you want to hear

213
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.920
what my father told me? And I'm like, Yes, Lord, I do. And he

214
00:12:56.920 --> 00:13:03.200
said he had very few followers. And that was just it. And so I

215
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.400
know sometimes, and this is how the enemy works. And he gets us

216
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.080
all all these numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers. And then now

217
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.440
you kind of see they're starting to come back. But I'm just

218
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:18.440
telling you, it's a blessing. And he keeps telling me, yes, we

219
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.880
can be creative with the numbers and the wisdom that you and

220
00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:27.280
Bruce Lindsay have amazing. And we need to listen to that. But

221
00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:30.400
it's just like when we pray for someone, he says, Bobby, don't

222
00:13:30.400 --> 00:13:34.920
even look through results, just say what I say, and it is done.

223
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.480
And so I just say, I'm more excited with less numbers,

224
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.560
because I, I keep, I every time I get someone that even likes

225
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.680
it, I say, Lord, you got another like, or someone follows, I'm

226
00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:49.840
like, Oh, Lord, someone else is following you. And so we can

227
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.760
just take ourselves out of the equation. And it's been so

228
00:13:52.760 --> 00:13:56.920
sweet. So Steve, I appreciate your comment. And yeah, you

229
00:13:56.920 --> 00:14:01.760
know, he always spoke to the one. And so even if we have a

230
00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:08.440
million followers, or people on our channel, it might still just

231
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.160
speak to the one so it can be so deceptive, the numbers. So

232
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:19.960
yeah, no, that's, that's really good. I love that. And I think

233
00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:23.920
part of it is like, I think what we're trying to figure out as

234
00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:27.400
well as there are so many different aspects to how the

235
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:32.200
algorithm and how it works and stuff. So I just want to, while

236
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.880
we're in this sort of intensive in this experimentation, and

237
00:14:34.880 --> 00:14:37.480
we're trying to post daily with all this, all on all these

238
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:44.440
platforms, it's just worth don't like pay attention to the

239
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.880
views, but don't pay, that's not the only thing to pay attention

240
00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:50.360
to. Because you may see something where you're getting a

241
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.640
lot of not as many views, but like engagements very high. Or

242
00:14:54.640 --> 00:14:57.200
maybe it was just a really good piece of content, but maybe like

243
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.040
your hook was in the wrong place, or hashtag

244
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:00.840
Views were wrong.

245
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.880
So it's things that did nothing to do with your content.

246
00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:06.200
It's just more about how you delivered that content.

247
00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:11.140
Um, and so what's great about, especially with Tik TOK is it's very, um, it's

248
00:15:11.140 --> 00:15:14.960
kind of like a shotgun approach that you can just keep posting the same video

249
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.080
with different edited different ways and see if one of those takes and one of

250
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.200
those kind of, uh, you know, gets more views, but just be aware that it may

251
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.560
take a couple of days now to start to see that same amount of traffic coming in.

252
00:15:27.880 --> 00:15:30.880
Whereas before you used to, you know, get a few hundred views in the first few

253
00:15:30.880 --> 00:15:34.480
hours, and then maybe it's a thousand within the first 24 hours, they've really

254
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.480
slowed it down and they're kind of experimenting a little bit slower with

255
00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:41.400
the content, um, is also, yeah, Marcella, I see you got your hand.

256
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:44.360
Yeah.

257
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.880
So I just, I did, you know, thank you for talking about that.

258
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.240
Um, I've been trying to be more consistent and I'm kind of just

259
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.280
getting out the gate really well.

260
00:15:54.280 --> 00:15:58.560
Um, I think what I wanted to say was kind of what Bobby was saying.

261
00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:01.840
I was kind of too praying about it because, you know, if I could,

262
00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:03.320
you know, I'm just transparent.

263
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.840
I don't, I don't know any other way to be, but just talk about me.

264
00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:09.000
So I have this competitive thing.

265
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:13.000
Like I'm not, I'm not a great, um, I love to play games, but

266
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.840
I'm not, I'm not a great loser.

267
00:16:17.520 --> 00:16:23.320
So, you know, and I don't mean it in like I'm harsh or, you know, I act a nut or I'm

268
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:24.120
not that right.

269
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:25.720
I have some class about myself.

270
00:16:25.760 --> 00:16:31.160
However, when we talk about numbers, you know, there's this thing, you know,

271
00:16:31.160 --> 00:16:37.000
that, that, you know, clinical statistical stats, all that I'm into the numbers.

272
00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:43.120
And so I had to, for me, I had to say, Marcella, this is not what you come to do.

273
00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:48.600
And so, uh, for a minute, I'm just being honest, confession is good for the soul.

274
00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:54.120
And so I didn't want to come on tech Tuesday because I know Bruce is all about

275
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:59.400
the numbers and I did not want to hear anything in regards to numbers.

276
00:16:59.400 --> 00:17:03.720
So the last couple of weeks, I kind of, you know, stepped back and then I watched

277
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:11.160
the replay so that I could just not have all of that going on in my head and to

278
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:16.480
kind of just get, you know, again, you know, thank God for, you know, God bless

279
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:21.920
you all just the open door to Graham and just, this is a whole new world to me.

280
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.560
And that brought clarity.

281
00:17:24.040 --> 00:17:30.160
And, um, I just said, Lord, I'm here as, as, um, not just obedience.

282
00:17:30.800 --> 00:17:36.760
This is where he has said, you know, like he said, and I don't mean to go random,

283
00:17:36.760 --> 00:17:38.120
but I just, I can hear it.

284
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:43.200
He gave me the scripture in Genesis about Abraham leaving his family, leaving his

285
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:47.440
kindred, leaving everything he knew behind to go where he was taking him.

286
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.080
You Bruce and Bruce and Lindsay, you know, I told you this before.

287
00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:56.320
It is through you that God is leading me somewhere.

288
00:17:56.320 --> 00:17:58.800
I have never been before.

289
00:17:58.840 --> 00:18:01.280
I've never imagined being here.

290
00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:08.200
So I am being careful in this moment to understand that.

291
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.160
Yes, numbers are important.

292
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:11.280
We need them.

293
00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:16.960
They do give us good information, but for me, it is in this walk.

294
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.840
It is in this journey.

295
00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:23.920
It is a becoming and being obedient to the tech and learning all

296
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.320
the things that you're giving us.

297
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:27.640
So I told myself, Marcella, it's great.

298
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:28.600
I've seen the numbers.

299
00:18:28.600 --> 00:18:32.680
I said, the good thing is you got a number, you got a number.

300
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.280
Like if it's just one, like you got numbers.

301
00:18:36.520 --> 00:18:41.080
So we, you know, I didn't want to, I had to release myself from the comparison thing.

302
00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:43.000
I realized that was a trick of the enemy.

303
00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:47.440
I am a part of this group that you all are my family.

304
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.640
You all have cared for me.

305
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.680
And so I want to represent well, it's not about speed.

306
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.080
It's not about competition.

307
00:18:54.080 --> 00:18:55.400
So all of those things.

308
00:18:55.520 --> 00:19:00.160
So I just wanted to say that, that, that it's important that my voice

309
00:19:00.600 --> 00:19:05.520
represent what Jesus wants me to and represent kingdom in a good way.

310
00:19:05.520 --> 00:19:06.640
So there I am.

311
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.600
No, thanks for sharing that.

312
00:19:08.600 --> 00:19:09.520
Yeah, that's exciting.

313
00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:12.120
I mean, it is, it is very much the becoming.

314
00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:14.560
It is the journey of being a kingdom messenger.

315
00:19:14.560 --> 00:19:18.160
And I don't, I don't think, you know, it's that we're just working together

316
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.480
in this kind of eight week intensive or however many months you guys have been in

317
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:30.160
here but it's not it's not something that like, this is a lifestyle, like we're

318
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.120
trying to build more of a lifestyle of, okay, I am a creator, I'm a kingdom

319
00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:36.640
messenger and, and trying to change.

320
00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:40.600
If you can just change your identity, this has been something that's very

321
00:19:40.600 --> 00:19:41.080
powerful.

322
00:19:41.080 --> 00:19:46.160
Anytime you're trying to introduce a new habit into your life, if you, if

323
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:52.280
you've read atomic habits, I know we quote that before, but they did a study

324
00:19:52.280 --> 00:19:55.200
where like you said, the difference between someone changing their identity

325
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.720
first to say someone, I think the example they gave is like, if there's someone

326
00:19:59.720 --> 00:19:59.920
who's.

327
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.480
who's smoking, he has a bad habit, who's trying to quit.

328
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.760
If someone says, oh, like, would you like a cigarette?

329
00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:09.720
He says, oh no, you know, no, I'm trying to quit.

330
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.600
Like he tells the person I'm trying to quit.

331
00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:15.320
And the other person says, oh no, I'm not a smoker.

332
00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:17.040
Like, so he's changed his identity

333
00:20:17.040 --> 00:20:18.340
and so it's easier to say no.

334
00:20:18.340 --> 00:20:21.560
So it's the same, it's kind of a negative version of this.

335
00:20:21.560 --> 00:20:22.960
But if you change your mindset to,

336
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.020
hey, I'm gonna be a kingdom messenger, I'm a creator,

337
00:20:26.020 --> 00:20:29.560
it's actually changing your identity first.

338
00:20:29.560 --> 00:20:31.720
And then you can do, because it could look on,

339
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:33.000
it looks be something on TikTok,

340
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.080
it could be a course you make,

341
00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:35.360
it could be a book you write,

342
00:20:35.360 --> 00:20:39.080
it could be a sermon you preach on a Sunday morning.

343
00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:41.120
It's just something that shifts in your identity

344
00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:43.680
so that when you do get on these platforms

345
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.200
or you're talking with someone one-on-one,

346
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.040
whatever the context is, you're kind of treating it like,

347
00:20:49.040 --> 00:20:52.480
hey, I'm bringing kingdom to earth in this moment.

348
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.080
It may be a one-on-one coffee conversation.

349
00:20:55.080 --> 00:20:58.180
It could be, you know, you could be writing a book,

350
00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:59.380
you could be doing a TikTok.

351
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.460
It's so many different ways for you to communicate,

352
00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:03.980
especially in today, there's just sort of an,

353
00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:05.640
almost an infinite amount of ways

354
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.540
to get your message out there.

355
00:21:07.540 --> 00:21:09.660
But it really just comes to being,

356
00:21:09.660 --> 00:21:11.540
and even when you tackle it,

357
00:21:11.540 --> 00:21:15.740
I think when the test for this for me

358
00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:18.100
is like when things get difficult,

359
00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:19.500
when I'm stuck with the tech,

360
00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:20.940
when I'm trying to post the video

361
00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:22.120
and it's not working at all,

362
00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:24.700
and TikTok's not doing what it's supposed to do,

363
00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:26.140
that's when you have to kind of shift that.

364
00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:28.100
I'd be like, okay, this is something

365
00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:29.860
that Lindsay and I say to each other all the time.

366
00:21:29.860 --> 00:21:32.180
Like when things are tough or we're like,

367
00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:34.660
hey, I was born for this.

368
00:21:34.660 --> 00:21:36.820
Like we always say that, like I was born for this.

369
00:21:36.820 --> 00:21:39.460
Like I was born to do this type of thing.

370
00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:41.540
Like, yeah, it's a little crazy, it's a little whatever,

371
00:21:41.540 --> 00:21:43.260
but like the Lord made me

372
00:21:43.260 --> 00:21:45.260
so that we can do this type of thing,

373
00:21:45.260 --> 00:21:48.020
whether it's like launching something new,

374
00:21:48.020 --> 00:21:50.460
you know, putting something new out into the world,

375
00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:51.700
or it's just a busy season

376
00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:53.380
where we're doing a lot of different things

377
00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:55.620
and, you know, juggling all that.

378
00:21:55.620 --> 00:21:57.560
We're like, hey, we were actually born

379
00:21:58.040 --> 00:22:01.440
to do all the things that Lord's called us to do right now.

380
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.760
And so if you know, like, hey,

381
00:22:02.760 --> 00:22:04.160
I was born to be a kingdom messenger.

382
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:07.400
Like, so yeah, I may have some tech issues right now,

383
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.920
but I'm born to be a kingdom messenger.

384
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:13.160
So somehow Lord's gonna like teach me how to do this,

385
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:15.360
or I'm gonna get a supernatural download,

386
00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:18.360
or I'll figure out the right question to ask,

387
00:22:18.360 --> 00:22:21.160
you know, in the next coaching session.

388
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:22.400
But really that's good.

389
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.640
I think that's a huge thing.

390
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:25.880
So thanks for bringing that up, Marcella.

391
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:29.760
So I see Susie's got your hand raised.

392
00:22:29.760 --> 00:22:31.960
I really appreciate that, Bruce.

393
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.820
And I think for me too,

394
00:22:33.820 --> 00:22:36.800
it really helps me to say this wasn't my idea.

395
00:22:36.800 --> 00:22:39.000
You know, this was not my idea.

396
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.960
Lord did this, and this is his thing,

397
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.500
and I'm gonna be doing it with him.

398
00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:48.280
I also, Marcella, just to add on to you,

399
00:22:48.280 --> 00:22:49.880
there have been a number of times

400
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.960
like getting my teaching credential,

401
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.700
and another time that comes to my mind,

402
00:22:56.520 --> 00:22:58.180
when I had to say to myself,

403
00:22:58.180 --> 00:23:00.540
I am not gonna do my best effort.

404
00:23:00.540 --> 00:23:02.580
I'm gonna do, in fact,

405
00:23:02.580 --> 00:23:06.220
oh, I had to do an evening program in a national park.

406
00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:07.060
Woo-hoo.

407
00:23:07.060 --> 00:23:10.020
I told my supervisor,

408
00:23:10.020 --> 00:23:13.020
I was not going to do an excellent job.

409
00:23:13.020 --> 00:23:14.660
I was going to do a mediate.

410
00:23:14.660 --> 00:23:18.060
He said, you've got to do this evening slideshow.

411
00:23:18.060 --> 00:23:19.360
I didn't know what to do.

412
00:23:19.360 --> 00:23:22.180
I said, okay, but I'm doing a mediocre one.

413
00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:24.020
And he knew me well enough to say,

414
00:23:24.020 --> 00:23:26.180
okay, you do a mediocre one.

415
00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:27.740
And it turned out to be really,

416
00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:29.180
I've got compliments on it.

417
00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:32.220
It was good, but I had to set out that way.

418
00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:33.780
When I got my teaching credential,

419
00:23:33.780 --> 00:23:35.300
I set out to get a B.

420
00:23:35.300 --> 00:23:38.500
I got an A, but I had to set out to get a B.

421
00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:40.620
And I'm finding that with these,

422
00:23:40.620 --> 00:23:44.700
my problem is getting them posted every day.

423
00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:47.620
And yes, a big part of that is

424
00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:50.300
the Lord's doing a big download in me,

425
00:23:50.300 --> 00:23:54.180
and it's got to be in me first for me to say it well.

426
00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:57.380
And I'm just doing serious on that right now.

427
00:23:57.380 --> 00:24:00.780
But I'm also realizing that I've got to,

428
00:24:00.780 --> 00:24:05.780
I've got to post a mediocre TikTok every day

429
00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:09.100
and trust the Lord for, you know, I did.

430
00:24:09.100 --> 00:24:13.900
The one that got 4,000 views was a mediocre one

431
00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:15.740
posted in the afternoon.

432
00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:18.140
So that's up to God.

433
00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:21.540
The other thing I would like to address is I drop off.

434
00:24:21.540 --> 00:24:23.540
I mean, I have a serious drop

435
00:24:23.540 --> 00:24:26.380
during that four second hook time.

436
00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:30.180
And I'm wondering, okay, is it that I have a bad hook

437
00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:33.460
or that I am presenting what I'm going to do

438
00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:35.660
and most people aren't interested?

439
00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:40.380
Because, you know, a lot of the one that,

440
00:24:40.380 --> 00:24:44.620
anyway, a lot of them do stay pretty high retention

441
00:24:44.620 --> 00:24:46.100
after that four second.

442
00:24:47.100 --> 00:24:48.540
Awesome.

443
00:24:48.540 --> 00:24:49.380
Yeah.

444
00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:50.980
And if you have a video,

445
00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:54.540
like I see some of these videos on yours

446
00:24:54.540 --> 00:24:58.820
have about 28% engagement, but just a few hundred views.

447
00:24:58.820 --> 00:25:00.140
So if there was one.

448
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.940
that you wanted to experiment with.

449
00:25:02.840 --> 00:25:05.640
If you wanted to share that with us here,

450
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:07.440
I'd be happy to edit it as well.

451
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:09.200
We can try and get to that as well.

452
00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:11.960
I'm gonna try to do it on the,

453
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.340
like do it live for you guys and see.

454
00:25:14.340 --> 00:25:16.240
I haven't seen these before, so.

455
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.180
But I know there's one, like this one that you did

456
00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:20.280
that said, let me just share my screen.

457
00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:26.040
Here, God made us, this one here.

458
00:25:26.040 --> 00:25:27.360
And that's only 25 seconds.

459
00:25:27.360 --> 00:25:29.120
It's probably one of the reasons it did well,

460
00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:34.120
but it has like a 28% engagement, which is really good.

461
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:39.260
And, but if there's one that you know that you posted,

462
00:25:39.260 --> 00:25:42.320
like this one's got 4,300, that's awesome.

463
00:25:42.320 --> 00:25:44.560
I would actually take this one.

464
00:25:44.560 --> 00:25:46.800
And it's got 4,300, but only 11%.

465
00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:47.800
So that's actually a good sign.

466
00:25:47.800 --> 00:25:50.240
There's a lot of people that saw it,

467
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:53.140
but it doesn't, maybe didn't translate

468
00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:55.800
to a lot of people engaging or sticking to the end.

469
00:25:55.800 --> 00:25:57.860
Let's just see how, that's 52 minutes.

470
00:25:57.860 --> 00:26:01.620
So we could try to edit this one

471
00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:02.800
and I would try to repost it.

472
00:26:02.800 --> 00:26:06.940
I would always go back to like your top content here.

473
00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:09.500
Anything that's got over a thousand views here,

474
00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:13.100
excuse me, like I would go back and repost and try that,

475
00:26:13.100 --> 00:26:14.940
like edit it a little bit differently

476
00:26:16.340 --> 00:26:19.360
and just see, or try a different hashtags.

477
00:26:20.580 --> 00:26:23.720
There's nothing to lose with that

478
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:25.820
by just reposting your stuff.

479
00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:30.820
So that one that had 1,028 with the scarf on,

480
00:26:30.820 --> 00:26:33.100
that was my origin story.

481
00:26:33.100 --> 00:26:35.300
So I spend a lot of time on that.

482
00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:40.300
And that one had 33% people watching it at the end.

483
00:26:40.380 --> 00:26:44.380
It was tight and good, you know, took longer.

484
00:26:44.380 --> 00:26:46.460
But just, I'm five seconds into it

485
00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:48.860
and I can already tell you the music's too loud.

486
00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:52.980
Yeah, I think that was one of the first ones I posted.

487
00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:53.820
Yeah.

488
00:26:53.820 --> 00:26:55.300
So that's like, this could have,

489
00:26:55.820 --> 00:26:58.460
so I would definitely post this one again

490
00:26:58.460 --> 00:27:01.020
because, and just try it like with even just changing

491
00:27:01.020 --> 00:27:02.980
the music to a different, something else,

492
00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:05.300
or just making it much, much softer.

493
00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:09.700
And then you could try like, you could try even re-editing.

494
00:27:09.700 --> 00:27:10.940
So this one you could post,

495
00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:13.660
if this, especially if this is your origin story

496
00:27:13.660 --> 00:27:16.140
and Lindsey, if you guys haven't done your origin story,

497
00:27:16.140 --> 00:27:18.780
she's gonna be talking about that next week,

498
00:27:18.780 --> 00:27:20.200
next Thursday actually.

499
00:27:21.100 --> 00:27:24.100
And so, but yeah, if this is your origin story,

500
00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:27.220
like I would post it every couple of weeks, right?

501
00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:28.660
Like just try it different ways

502
00:27:28.660 --> 00:27:31.500
because it is like the core message.

503
00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:32.940
It's kind of your testimony.

504
00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:34.940
It's kind of why you're doing this.

505
00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:36.540
It's like, it gives people a great idea

506
00:27:36.540 --> 00:27:39.860
of what to expect from you if they follow you.

507
00:27:40.820 --> 00:27:42.060
Okay.

508
00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:46.820
So if you have like the original video for this handy,

509
00:27:46.820 --> 00:27:47.860
I don't know, this may have been,

510
00:27:47.860 --> 00:27:49.540
this was like two months ago.

511
00:27:50.860 --> 00:27:53.860
You could put it in iCloud and share a link with me to it.

512
00:27:54.620 --> 00:27:55.460
And then I can try to download it

513
00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:56.900
and edit it for you on this call.

514
00:27:58.820 --> 00:28:01.140
That's gonna challenge my tech abilities.

515
00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:02.780
I will definitely do that.

516
00:28:02.780 --> 00:28:04.540
Yeah, I'm gonna do Joe's here in a second.

517
00:28:04.540 --> 00:28:08.020
If we get to it, if there's time, that'd be great.

518
00:28:08.020 --> 00:28:11.140
Okay, so just a note, when we were first doing TikTok

519
00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:13.860
and I was not comfortable with it at all,

520
00:28:13.860 --> 00:28:16.300
I was doing, going out to the ocean,

521
00:28:16.300 --> 00:28:18.780
saying I'm thanking God for,

522
00:28:18.780 --> 00:28:21.100
and then saying, do you wanna join me

523
00:28:21.100 --> 00:28:23.060
and leaving the rest of the time with just the ocean

524
00:28:23.060 --> 00:28:26.420
for people to be quiet and thank God themselves.

525
00:28:26.420 --> 00:28:27.860
That didn't happen.

526
00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:29.540
And so now what I'm doing,

527
00:28:29.540 --> 00:28:31.740
now that you said do the short ones,

528
00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:34.540
I'm like cheating and going back to those,

529
00:28:34.540 --> 00:28:36.660
cutting off the silence.

530
00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:40.500
And so now I've got short ones that I'm not preparing now.

531
00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:42.460
I'm just doing those other ones.

532
00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:43.900
Yeah, so, and again,

533
00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:45.620
if you wanna show something like that,

534
00:28:45.620 --> 00:28:49.980
I saw Marcella, actually, I just pulled up her account.

535
00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:53.300
She did one where it was just her narrating over,

536
00:28:53.300 --> 00:28:55.620
and then she just showed some sort of footage.

537
00:28:55.620 --> 00:28:57.820
I think it was like, maybe it was a stock footage

538
00:28:57.820 --> 00:29:01.740
or something of a scripture or a prayer.

539
00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:02.780
But you could do something

540
00:29:02.780 --> 00:29:05.420
where you just film some empty stuff

541
00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:06.740
and then you could just read over it.

542
00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:09.140
So if you do wanna make, but then that would be two posts.

543
00:29:09.140 --> 00:29:11.940
It would be like one with you talking, that's short,

544
00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:14.340
one with you talking, but you're not looking at you at all.

545
00:29:14.340 --> 00:29:16.140
It's just something without that.

546
00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:18.060
And maybe the text is just coming up on screen.

547
00:29:18.060 --> 00:29:20.860
So you could present it again,

548
00:29:20.860 --> 00:29:23.020
deliver it in a couple of different ways.

549
00:29:24.780 --> 00:29:27.420
So that's all, that's great.

550
00:29:28.300 --> 00:29:33.300
So I've got my original footage on my camera or my photos.

551
00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:36.060
And okay, so I'm sharing it.

552
00:29:36.060 --> 00:29:38.580
Who am I sharing it to, or how am I sharing it?

553
00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:42.740
You could try to put it in iCloud, I think.

554
00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:47.500
Or you could even try to like Facebook message it to me,

555
00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:51.020
or you can go to KMTV and just upload it there

556
00:29:51.020 --> 00:29:55.180
onto the, like into the discussion tab of the group.

557
00:29:55.180 --> 00:29:59.420
I don't think I would know how, that would take some time.

558
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.040
problem. Can I send it in messages? Yeah, try that. We'll just see if that works. If not, I'll look.

559
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:16.640
Cool. Okay, that looks to me like it's not. Okay, I'll work on it. Yeah, just that's fine. So

560
00:30:17.280 --> 00:30:21.920
what I was going to do for you guys, just to, Joe had this, and Joe, I just made a note in here,

561
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.840
but I don't know if you can send me the original one. This one actually has the music and text in

562
00:30:25.840 --> 00:30:32.240
it. I'll use it for now, but it won't be really usable to do anything with it.

563
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:38.720
So I don't know if you have that handy. Yeah, let me grab it real quick.

564
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:44.640
And what you can do for this type of thing, we found actually the easiest way to

565
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:50.560
transfer stuff is just to go into the eight-week intensive here and just click this upload video.

566
00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:55.680
You can just post it like Joe did here. For some reason, when you upload stuff to Facebook,

567
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.920
I guess they don't like you downloading things, so it makes it difficult, but

568
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:06.880
I can actually download the file from here, which is great. Okay, so I'm just going to do this in

569
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:14.880
Descript. You don't have to do this in Descript. I am just going to show it to this, because I

570
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:20.080
think for you guys who are watching on Zoom, it's going to be much more visual than me trying to do

571
00:31:20.080 --> 00:31:31.680
it on my tiny iPhone if we were to do something like CapCut. So just something that we were doing

572
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:37.040
some edits even for some Kingdom Messenger content that we're doing. We've been actually

573
00:31:37.040 --> 00:31:41.840
putting content on the Kingdom Messenger TikTok again this week, so we're doing a bunch of stuff

574
00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:50.720
for September, and so there's a couple little tricks you can use to edit some things that I'll

575
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:59.920
kind of just show you guys here. So let's see here, let me, oh, and there's a quick question here from

576
00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:06.800
Xavier. You can just post with, just test different hashtags. They don't have to be like totally

577
00:32:06.800 --> 00:32:10.800
different hashtags, but most of the time it's going to be around your, the biggest thing you

578
00:32:10.800 --> 00:32:17.120
can do to try something different is to take the hook of what's being said and move it actually

579
00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:25.840
much higher up in the, earlier in the video, and maybe I'll even show some of what this looks like

580
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:32.320
other ways. So, but yeah, just sometimes you can take something like this. This, I'm not, this is

581
00:32:32.320 --> 00:32:38.960
actually a prayer, but I'll try to take this and see if I can find something, if there's like a

582
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:43.440
good line here. We can actually, what's nice about Descript is we can take a section like this

583
00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:49.280
and actually cut it and like paste it at the front of the video, so it actually, you can see

584
00:32:49.280 --> 00:32:54.240
there, it just moved that section. I have no idea what that section is, but it just moves it from

585
00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:01.040
that side there, so you can kind of take the coolest or the most interesting or most encouraging

586
00:33:01.040 --> 00:33:06.240
part of your video and kind of, if you guys have some big build, it's kind of the, it's a

587
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:10.800
different way of sharing content because you kind of want to start with a single sentence that's

588
00:33:10.800 --> 00:33:16.800
like, oh wait, like that's very controversial. Like for Kingdom Messengers, we had, Lindsay did a piece

589
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.360
earlier this week where it was like, it was just from one of our trainings, but she mentioned

590
00:33:21.360 --> 00:33:26.720
in this like 60 second thing says, hey, you're not called to the whole world, you're only called to

591
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:30.560
your world, right? Like, so that's like people who are Christians hear that, you're like, you're not

592
00:33:30.560 --> 00:33:33.760
called to the world, what are you talking about? Of course we're called to the world, and it's like,

593
00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:38.400
it kind of just like, excites like, oh, what is she talking about? Like, she's wrong, like, and then

594
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:42.720
they, it kind of forces people to read, listen to the rest of it. Not saying you have to be

595
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:47.840
controversial like that, but if there's some statement that stops people, like, did you know

596
00:33:47.840 --> 00:33:52.960
that healing is still possible in 2022, or did you know that this thing, it's just like a little

597
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.640
hook that gets people's attention, and sometimes a lot of you guys have that in your video because

598
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:04.080
you're kind of teaching to it, so you're teaching kind of up towards like this big moment of this

599
00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:09.120
big thing you want to say that's going to really change people's lives, just, and you were not

600
00:34:09.120 --> 00:34:13.679
moving it necessarily, it's not like we're taking it from the middle and putting it at the beginning,

601
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:18.560
you can actually copy it, so you can have the little like really cool hook, and then you can

602
00:34:18.560 --> 00:34:23.679
just let it play, and then say the hook again when you get to that part of the video, that's fine

603
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:28.800
too, because people definitely need to hear it twice, but whatever that like, if they're only

604
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:33.280
going to listen to five seconds of your video, if there's a sentence or a statement that you have,

605
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:38.639
and maybe that's just something as you're writing your content as well, that's something that you

606
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:44.159
can just kind of craft as well, but anyway. Hey Bruce, I'm about to publish it now for you.

607
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:45.760
Oh thanks, okay cool, I'll grab it.

608
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:56.080
Let's see, what is the best volume to set for your background music? So

609
00:34:56.080 --> 00:34:59.760
I think that adding background music is like adding salt to your food.

610
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.200
you just want to start with like a tiny bit of music and then just keep adding it until it's like,

611
00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:11.040
okay, no more salt for this, right? Like this is, this is getting too salty. Typically it's

612
00:35:11.040 --> 00:35:15.920
going to be around a five out of a hundred. That number, it doesn't mean it's always exact. Some

613
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:20.880
songs are really loud. Some songs are really quiet. So you kind of have to just do it to taste.

614
00:35:22.080 --> 00:35:26.400
My thing is it's your, your attention has to be a hundred percent on the words that you're saying.

615
00:35:27.040 --> 00:35:32.640
Um, so one thing, um, that I'll do, I'm going to pull this video in real quick.

616
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:42.480
Once it's here, just see you do this on cam TV. Is that right? I'm doing this. I think because

617
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.640
I'm on zoom, it's taking a little while. Okay, no problem. So one thing you can do,

618
00:35:46.640 --> 00:35:50.640
um, I've got another video I can pull. Let me jump into this real quick.

619
00:35:50.640 --> 00:35:58.960
So there it is. I just published it. I'll just kind of show you this as well,

620
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:06.560
because this is exactly how we, um, do this. So we'll take, uh, clips from, uh, from our session

621
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:11.200
and, um, I'll give a shout out to Tamara who has gone through all this content and cut all

622
00:36:11.200 --> 00:36:18.640
these things up. Um, but what we'll do is we will take, um, something from like a 60 minute long

623
00:36:18.640 --> 00:36:24.240
trainings. This is this whole thing right here is like one day. It's day one of the challenge.

624
00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:28.960
And we're trying to find pieces of content that are really good. So what Tamara's done is like

625
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:33.520
listened through all of it and then highlighted, um, things that she thought were really good.

626
00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:38.960
So in this highlighted script, um, hopefully we can find something that's really good. There we go.

627
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:42.160
So there's like a good little section here, which we're like, okay, that could be,

628
00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:47.040
that could be turned into a TikTok. Um, so this is how we would process it all.

629
00:36:47.600 --> 00:36:53.760
Um, and so if I kind of go down, uh, let's go to clip one here. So, um,

630
00:36:55.040 --> 00:36:57.920
you can see, let me see if there's, is there one, let me grab one. That's like,

631
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:07.520
it's edited this one. I think this was the one. Um, so we have, uh, the fancy captions and I did

632
00:37:07.520 --> 00:37:12.960
a whole thing on Descript. So I'm not going to really teach on Descript, but just kind of how we

633
00:37:13.520 --> 00:37:19.280
made some of the cuts. So it feels very, um, fluid. Um, one of the things I just want to,

634
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:23.680
because this goes to the background music, um, in Descript, and you can actually, I think you

635
00:37:23.680 --> 00:37:29.440
can do this in CapCut as well, but if you go to the settings here and I click into the audio,

636
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:39.600
um, I think if I go, if I select, I can select all the audio. Um, let me, yes.

637
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:52.960
Um, there we go. Come on. Okay. Okay. That's all the audio. Um, one of the things you can do,

638
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.040
if I can find it here, um,

639
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:06.880
is I think you can say add an effect and I think you can say, um, there's this little feature

640
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:15.440
right here, which is kind of cool. I think it's audio studio file. Um, I'm gonna let it play and

641
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:19.680
see if that actually works the way I was hoping it would, but basically what it does is it

642
00:38:19.680 --> 00:38:24.640
essentially makes it sound like you can take something from an iPhone and it makes it sound

643
00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:29.840
like you had a mic, like right. Um, you know, it sounds like you're in a studio. Um, so I'm

644
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:33.200
going to try to play this back and hopefully you guys can hear it. Let me make sure that I'm

645
00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:43.760
sharing my sound. Yeah. Um, this may take a minute. Okay. Let's like, um, let's jump back to Joe's

646
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:49.920
option here. There we go. Okay.

647
00:38:56.240 --> 00:38:59.120
Okay. Next drive back to Joe.

648
00:39:03.200 --> 00:39:09.440
Okay. It's downloading right now, but, um, this is a very long clip, so I probably wasn't that good,

649
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:15.200
uh, for kingdom messengers, but give me one second to let this download.

650
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:27.840
Okay. So here's the original video. It's going to transcribe it here in a second

651
00:39:28.560 --> 00:39:33.280
and I'm going to try to do it on this one. Let's try to do studio.

652
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:41.680
Um, I think this is it. There was a checkbox here before, and now it's not there. So hopefully this

653
00:39:41.680 --> 00:39:49.280
is the one, but, um, uh, so the first thing we would do, like if I was editing this for Joe,

654
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:58.080
um, is this is, there's a, there's half a second here, almost a full second of dead space.

655
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.000
So the first thing we want to do is like crunch this right to the front here.

656
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.000
Oh, what software is this?

657
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:06.000
This is Descript.

658
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:14.000
And then, yeah, so there's a whole like training we did a while back, two weeks ago or so.

659
00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.000
And then you can kind of just look here.

660
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:18.000
I'm just going to play it.

661
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:19.000
And hopefully you can hear me too.

662
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:23.000
You know, so many times there's, you know, groups around us or people.

663
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.000
Hopefully you guys can hear that, so.

664
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:26.000
You know, so many.

665
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:29.000
Whose image are you conforming to?

666
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.000
There's just a little bit of a breath right there.

667
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:36.000
So I'm just going to, all you have to do is grab the word you and just drag it in closer here.

668
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:37.000
So let's just see how.

669
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.000
You know, so many times.

670
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:39.000
Okay.

671
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:40.000
I don't know if you guys can hear the sound.

672
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:42.000
Did you hear that sound change?

673
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.000
Many times there's.

674
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:45.000
Okay.

675
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.000
Hopefully this is coming through in Zoom.

676
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:50.000
Image are you conforming.

677
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:51.000
This is before.

678
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:54.000
You know, so many times there's, you know, groups around us.

679
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.000
And then if I enable the studio sound.

680
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:04.000
You know, so many times there's.

681
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.000
So it sounds like it literally was shot like with a different mic.

682
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.000
So it's, I don't know how they do that.

683
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:11.000
It's it's magic.

684
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:15.000
But all of a sudden, this type of thing was really helpful because if you're.

685
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.000
If you're starting volumes, very quiet.

686
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:22.000
And then you start to add music. Now it's like, especially if you're outside,

687
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:27.000
or if you're in a noisy space, or even if you're in a very reflective room.

688
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:31.000
Where there's a lot of reflective surfaces that sounds kind of bouncing

689
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:33.000
around some little echoey.

690
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:36.000
This could help just make it really punch. You can still add music underneath this,

691
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:40.000
but now your voice is like, so up and out of the mix.

692
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:43.000
And when people are scrolling through Tik TOK as well, like there,

693
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:46.000
you just want to be able to be so clear and in there.

694
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:48.000
I don't know if you can see it in the face, but just the,

695
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.000
it needs to be really clear if it's a little muffled and a little hard to

696
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.000
hear that people are going to jump.

697
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.000
And I say all this and I don't mean to pick on Joe because he's already got

698
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:59.000
some amazing results with some of his content,

699
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:01.000
but these are the things that honestly,

700
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:05.000
like they don't matter at all as far as like getting the message out.

701
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:06.000
But at the same time,

702
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:09.000
they could be like silly things that get in your way that are like keeping

703
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.000
people from watching your content. So.

704
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:13.000
I'm just going to keep editing this.

705
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:17.000
So I'm not even listening to his words.

706
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:21.000
I can just look at the thing here and I can see there's 11 seconds there

707
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:22.000
and it goes all the way to 12.

708
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.000
So there's like a full second of space right there.

709
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:27.000
I'm just moving all these words in.

710
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.000
Nice and tight.

711
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.000
It's funny that you're finding like the breaths in that,

712
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:34.000
because it's one of the things sometimes I've noticed where I took a

713
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.000
breath and it was louder than I realized.

714
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:37.000
So you could actually hear it.

715
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.000
Yeah.

716
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.000
Yeah. I know. Yeah. It's, and it's fine. I, I,

717
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:46.000
I'm putting you kind of on the spot cause and if you looked at some of our

718
00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:49.000
videos, especially the long training, 60 minute training,

719
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:53.000
the amount of words we have to take out where we say like, you know,

720
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:58.000
like, like, you know, you know, like when this thing, you know, this,

721
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:02.000
so it's very painful when you're reading it in like this, because it's,

722
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:07.000
it's difficult to see even, you know,

723
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:11.000
You know, you just put all these filler words in. So, so here you said,

724
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:15.000
but you could say, I would just say, but the Bible tells us,

725
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.000
we don't need to say, you know, okay.

726
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:24.000
So we can just say, and we may not even need the word,

727
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:29.000
but let me say that we have to meet with the Bible tells us in Romans.

728
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:32.000
They see how that's just like, but the Bible tells us this it's not,

729
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.000
but you know, the Bible tells us it's just, you kind of lose people.

730
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:40.000
It doesn't really matter except if you're just having a coffee with someone

731
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:43.000
and you have lots of time, but you don't have a whole lot of time.

732
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:47.000
You want to just share this very, very it needs to be really crisp is

733
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:52.000
probably a good word. So I'm just going in here,

734
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.000
dragging it in here and I'm going to,

735
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:56.000
I'm going to give this to you when you're done and I would love for you to,

736
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:59.000
if you want to, you can change more of it if you want, and then post it.

737
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:05.000
Let's see how it does. So I'm just, again,

738
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.000
we can actually probably cut off about five to 10 seconds here.

739
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:16.000
Just

740
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:19.000
this just makes it very easy. It's unlike any other like editing tool.

741
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:23.000
This is a free tool as well. So there's a paid version, I think,

742
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:29.000
but mostly free us through the renewing.

743
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:33.000
So that he could transform us through the renewing of our minds.

744
00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:35.000
Okay. So there's a little bit, this has got like the most,

745
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.000
I'm going to back this sound off a little bit through the renewing of our

746
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.000
minds and where we renew our minds through the word, through prayer,

747
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:46.000
through thinking about Jesus. So I invite you today,

748
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:50.000
renew your mind and let God transform you into his image.

749
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.000
Okay. And then just, if you were going to caption this, like Descript,

750
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:57.000
obviously isn't saved yet, but we're hoping it does get saved.

751
00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.000
You can capitalize.

752
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.560
um and sometimes it does things like this like transformed and it's putting a capital and so

753
00:45:06.560 --> 00:45:13.040
now it's supposed to be like transformed from you into today renew your mind and let god transform

754
00:45:13.040 --> 00:45:20.320
you into his image i think the word into his image you somehow disappeared there but i'll

755
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:24.640
come back to it i'll just drag this in here

756
00:45:28.560 --> 00:45:34.240
and what i would really encourage you guys to do even if you we even tell people this even if you

757
00:45:34.240 --> 00:45:40.160
are hiring an editor or something sitting and doing this for your own content it's it's actually

758
00:45:40.160 --> 00:45:45.200
so much easier to do this to someone else's is very painful if i were editing my own thing

759
00:45:45.200 --> 00:45:49.920
which is maybe that's what i should have done for the demo but um you just are so much more

760
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:54.320
critical you're like oh why did i say that like why am i breathing this way why am i looking this

761
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:59.200
way why am i and you you'll you'll kind of correct a lot of things so when you get ready to film the

762
00:45:59.200 --> 00:46:05.120
next one you'll auto correct it and you'll kind of work those little bugs out of it when you record

763
00:46:05.120 --> 00:46:10.240
that way when you sit down to edit it's actually pretty clean oh how did we enable the studio mic

764
00:46:10.240 --> 00:46:16.240
so what we did is we just selected um all the clips here and on the right there's a thing called

765
00:46:16.240 --> 00:46:21.200
add effect and then one of them it's not going to show it now because i've already got it added

766
00:46:21.200 --> 00:46:26.880
but one of them says studio sound and um and then it just you can toggle it on and off here

767
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:37.920
formed to this world but to be true and we can even push the volume up a hair transformed by

768
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:43.360
the renewing of our minds that we could prove that okay the next thing i want to do is a little

769
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:48.960
jump cut edit this is all very like next level stuff so if you guys are like just hoping just

770
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:53.920
wanting to get your content out and posted i totally understand like get this is just sort

771
00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:59.440
of a next level if you want to experiment with how to edit things differently so if this says

772
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:06.640
whose image are you conforming to so i love that it's actually a pretty good hook um so what we'll

773
00:47:06.640 --> 00:47:12.640
do is i'm going to click on this clip here so if i click on just this clip and then i can actually

774
00:47:12.640 --> 00:47:19.120
resize this and if i drag the one side like this it's going to make him skinny or really wide we

775
00:47:19.120 --> 00:47:26.560
don't want that so if you hold down shift it um it will make him it'll kind of scale it up like that

776
00:47:27.200 --> 00:47:31.440
and so um now if you want to be fancy you can hold down alt as well and it will keep it

777
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:37.200
centered and just go up and down like this so now what we'll do is we'll cut in so it goes

778
00:47:37.200 --> 00:47:43.120
whose image are you conforming to you know so many times that so you see how it just like comes

779
00:47:43.120 --> 00:47:50.720
back um i may even like pushing in like two times the the zoom on the kind of the one thing you want

780
00:47:50.720 --> 00:47:57.120
people to know just a little visual like bump in bump out whose image are you conforming to you

781
00:47:57.120 --> 00:48:01.840
know so many times there's you know groups around this i hope you make it so much more dynamic

782
00:48:02.560 --> 00:48:07.680
yeah and and again just again you don't have to spend a lot of time going this type of editing

783
00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:11.920
for the rest of it it's like if you could spend all your time on these first five seconds

784
00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:16.320
and what i really like about this is you can see on the timeline and this is any editing software

785
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:23.040
but we can see how what you're saying you know who images i mean so this time this says you know so

786
00:48:23.040 --> 00:48:28.720
many so first off we don't need the words you know uh and this is like whose image are you

787
00:48:28.720 --> 00:48:34.960
confirming to question mark then it says so many times and in descript you can hit the enter key

788
00:48:35.520 --> 00:48:41.200
just to make it a little bit more uh readable here so so many times there's

789
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:51.040
groups around us friends family trying to conform there i feel like a spaceship

790
00:48:51.040 --> 00:48:57.520
meet okay great um so i'll even take the word butt out here because this is like a

791
00:48:57.520 --> 00:49:02.080
it's a jump a one word and then a jump so i typically try to avoid that

792
00:49:03.040 --> 00:49:05.920
and we'll just start with it saying the bible

793
00:49:09.680 --> 00:49:11.280
uh if i can come on

794
00:49:12.240 --> 00:49:18.480
okay let's just hear all this whose image are you conforming to so many times there's

795
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:26.480
now just the way that it was recorded um oh this is because bruce made a mistake not joe

796
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:34.640
sorry i need to make this all like nine i was wondering why the first one was so loud and then

797
00:49:34.640 --> 00:49:38.800
the other one wasn't it's because i adjusted it but i hadn't selected all of the clips

798
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:43.760
so what you're seeing on the right is just for whatever clip you're suggest you're selecting

799
00:49:44.560 --> 00:49:48.880
so if i click on this and i change the volume way down a way up so you can see how it gets

800
00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:54.320
really quiet and it gets really loud um it's just for that one clip so that's what was happening it

801
00:49:54.320 --> 00:50:02.320
was whose image are you conforming to so many times there's now just the way that it was recorded

802
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.600
mean to so many times there's groups around us or people friends family and we're trying to conform

803
00:50:05.600 --> 00:50:09.680
to a certain image because we either want to be liked or we want to be accepted or or we feel

804
00:50:09.680 --> 00:50:17.360
like there's it and there's two ors right there so we'll just a double word um did or or we just

805
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:24.080
and since we're doing a cut right there anyway we'll just start it with we we feel like be accepted

806
00:50:24.080 --> 00:50:29.920
or we feel like there's expectation now because um i'll actually do it the other way we can do it

807
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:34.800
with like accepted or we feel like there's expectations that we have or we feel like

808
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:40.880
there's expectations that we have to so because he started the phrase with or we feel like it was

809
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:47.120
weird to have the other or on the first phrase so that was a natural jump because he's listing the

810
00:50:47.120 --> 00:50:53.360
next thing and one little like another little trick here is to always cut on the right side

811
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:59.680
so cut it to where if there's a cut um you don't want to have it um oops

812
00:51:01.600 --> 00:51:07.360
uh there we go you want to take the cut as far to the the next word that's coming in so where it

813
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:12.960
says and um it's gonna so if family and we're trying to conform to a certain image because

814
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:20.320
we either want to be liked or we want to be accepted or cool people friends family and we're

815
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:24.400
trying to conform to a certain image because we either want to be liked or we want to be accepted

816
00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:29.360
or we feel like there's expectations and also when you have that and it feels like it's a little

817
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:35.760
jumpy just pushing in the zoom here so it goes those are people friends family and we're trying

818
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:39.920
to conform to a certain image because we either want to be liked we want to be accepted or we

819
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:44.800
feel like there's expectations yeah it's just like coming at you now it's it's we've cut the

820
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:49.520
time down but also it's just kind of pulling you in more and more and more more content so

821
00:51:49.520 --> 00:51:56.720
these are this is just something um again you can you can kind of experiment with but um very cool

822
00:51:56.720 --> 00:52:05.840
okay thanks let's see image are you conforming to so many times there's okay so at this point we

823
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:10.320
could go through um and the only other thing i would probably do like we do with all things is

824
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:18.160
just add the captions and you can add um fancy captions and i'll just give this in like some

825
00:52:19.120 --> 00:52:25.920
other color i would definitely recommend putting the text uh kind of under your face right first

826
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:31.280
like above your head um just it's just better because it's closer to your

827
00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:37.520
icon do you want people kind of looking over your head i guess um let me grab this

828
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:47.840
and then just for i don't know why they do this but you have to just drag the fancy captions to

829
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:59.040
the very end okay so this is getting close to being done let's just do it to two lines there

830
00:53:00.640 --> 00:53:06.720
um and we could keep going back and forth but really like if you're going to spend 80 90 of

831
00:53:06.720 --> 00:53:11.360
your time on the editing it should be focused right in here these first few seconds like having

832
00:53:11.360 --> 00:53:17.200
the text on the screen having this little zoom in for the part now it may say it may say um

833
00:53:18.240 --> 00:53:23.440
hey christian moms and then you could cut into like here's something that here's a prayer that

834
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:30.560
you can pray today to i don't know keep the peace in your home so that little like that hook there

835
00:53:30.560 --> 00:53:34.640
you can start out like kind of wide and then you can cut in for the part that you really want to

836
00:53:34.640 --> 00:53:39.440
emphasize and then cut back it just gives people's attention and what you're trying to do a lot of the

837
00:53:39.440 --> 00:53:44.480
times is people are scrolling you're trying to interrupt the it's a pattern interrupt of people

838
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:48.560
are scrolling scrolling scrolling if there's a video then it cuts to you then it cuts back it

839
00:53:48.560 --> 00:53:52.720
just kind of interrupts the what everybody else is seeing and it kind of grabs their attention

840
00:53:53.440 --> 00:54:01.280
and so um yeah so that that's good i think that's good for now and i'll just um i'll share this with

841
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:06.720
you joe so you can like actually open it in descript and then export it uh and then we'll

842
00:54:06.720 --> 00:54:11.520
go from there but cool is any questions about that or i know i went through it really quick

843
00:54:11.520 --> 00:54:18.080
because we kept on descript before but um and also just kind of think you can see some of the

844
00:54:18.080 --> 00:54:23.680
edits that i'm doing here as far as how tight it is like if you don't you feel like wow this looks

845
00:54:23.680 --> 00:54:28.240
really complicated you can just record it a few times on your phone and what if you like lindsey

846
00:54:28.240 --> 00:54:33.760
did this on one of her like she said you know here's a prayer that i want to pray for you today

847
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:39.280
or here's what i pray you know when i don't know what to pray and then and then she said something

848
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:43.840
like then she kind of zoomed the the camera the phone in closer to her face and she said something

849
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:47.760
like and i don't always know what to pray or something like that and then she pulled it back

850
00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:53.520
like that's editing right like that's the most primitive form of of an edit um some of that

851
00:54:53.520 --> 00:54:59.760
could just be practice uh and and kind of recording it playing it back like making yourself listen to

852
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.200
in its entirety.

853
00:55:02.200 --> 00:55:05.120
A great way, as always, when you're doing this type of stuff

854
00:55:05.120 --> 00:55:07.920
is to do this with, you don't have to do this for every clip,

855
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:10.000
but just do it every now and again to your content

856
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:14.040
because you'll notice all these little things

857
00:55:14.040 --> 00:55:16.600
that you're doing, filler words,

858
00:55:16.600 --> 00:55:18.440
the spaces you're leaving,

859
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:19.840
kind of the cadence of how you're talking.

860
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:21.560
Are you getting really fast and getting really,

861
00:55:21.560 --> 00:55:23.400
you know, then starting to talk really slow?

862
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:25.480
Are you leaving pauses?

863
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:27.400
Lindsay and I, I feel, especially when we're coaching,

864
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:30.360
like have a very hard time just pausing

865
00:55:31.240 --> 00:55:32.800
and leaving space in the,

866
00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:34.280
like, we just want to fill all the words.

867
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:36.320
And then we just, especially if we get excited

868
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:37.520
and we're like so passionate,

869
00:55:37.520 --> 00:55:39.440
we go faster and faster and faster.

870
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:41.280
And I have all these sticky notes that I leave

871
00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:42.320
or Lindsay will give to me.

872
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:44.400
And it's like, slow down, slow down,

873
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:46.320
like whoever's talking.

874
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:48.400
So we've just learned these things.

875
00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:49.680
And that's the only way you're going to fix it

876
00:55:49.680 --> 00:55:52.920
is just by you kind of auto-correct it by watching yourself

877
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:56.320
because you are going to be your biggest critic with that.

878
00:55:56.320 --> 00:55:59.360
But easy way to do this is you record it on your phone,

879
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:02.080
on the default camera app,

880
00:56:02.080 --> 00:56:05.800
play it back and just, you know, listen to it.

881
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:06.640
You can watch it.

882
00:56:06.640 --> 00:56:09.280
Remember those like three ways of kind of editing yourself

883
00:56:09.280 --> 00:56:11.280
is you can listen to it.

884
00:56:11.280 --> 00:56:14.080
So take the phone, like put it face down

885
00:56:14.080 --> 00:56:16.000
and just listen to how it's coming across

886
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:17.760
and make notes of what you're hearing

887
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:19.760
from an audio standpoint.

888
00:56:19.760 --> 00:56:21.320
You know, are there words that you're saying

889
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:24.000
or is there background noise, whatever?

890
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:26.720
Then play it back where you turn the sound off on your phone

891
00:56:26.720 --> 00:56:28.800
and just watch it and just try to watch it

892
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:30.600
without hearing it.

893
00:56:30.600 --> 00:56:32.000
And then the last thing is to do something

894
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:34.360
kind of like this, like get it transcribed

895
00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:37.840
and just try to read it out loud from end to end

896
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:41.280
and just see how it is.

897
00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:43.080
And again, between those three different areas,

898
00:56:43.080 --> 00:56:45.760
you'll clean up 80, 90% of things

899
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:47.680
that you could do to a little better.

900
00:56:47.680 --> 00:56:50.160
And the teaching for Descript, Walter,

901
00:56:50.160 --> 00:56:52.080
I think there, I was literally gonna say,

902
00:56:52.080 --> 00:56:53.520
hey, maybe Tamara can grab it.

903
00:56:53.520 --> 00:56:58.120
There it is, link for you right there.

904
00:56:58.120 --> 00:57:03.360
So that's great, awesome.

905
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:08.560
I'm gonna share this with you.

906
00:57:08.560 --> 00:57:14.160
And I think I can actually just share this link there.

907
00:57:14.160 --> 00:57:15.480
I believe that will work, Joe.

908
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:17.240
So you can just click on the link in the chat

909
00:57:17.240 --> 00:57:18.440
and it should open.

910
00:57:18.440 --> 00:57:20.280
Technically, anyone else can open it as well

911
00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:22.920
if you wanna duplicate it and pull it from there.

912
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:26.160
So we'll see if we have,

913
00:57:26.160 --> 00:57:32.040
so any other questions that you have or do you have anything?

914
00:57:32.040 --> 00:57:39.840
I just clicked on that link that Tamara sent

915
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:44.920
and it's sending me to a screen to sign in or sign up.

916
00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:47.800
It's not just going straight to it.

917
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:53.960
Okay, yeah, you may just need to sign into the CAM TV.

918
00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:57.240
Okay, but then, yeah, I'm having a hard time.

919
00:57:57.240 --> 00:57:58.400
I don't know why I've ever,

920
00:57:58.400 --> 00:58:01.080
I've never had a hard time doing that before, okay.

921
00:58:01.080 --> 00:58:03.600
Okay, just let us know.

922
00:58:03.600 --> 00:58:08.880
We can always help you out with that.

923
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:13.040
Cool.

924
00:58:13.040 --> 00:58:14.800
Yeah, you can always email us if you're having trouble with that.

925
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:19.120
Yeah, Joe, were you saying something?

926
00:58:19.120 --> 00:58:21.840
I think you and Susie started speaking at the same time.

927
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:23.160
No, I was just gonna say that, yeah,

928
00:58:23.160 --> 00:58:25.080
this is gonna be kind of my best friend

929
00:58:25.080 --> 00:58:26.360
because I started using CapCut

930
00:58:26.360 --> 00:58:29.040
just because I like how I can add dynamic stuff,

931
00:58:29.040 --> 00:58:30.840
but adding key frames and that kind of stuff

932
00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:34.160
is a lot harder on the phone trying to manipulate all that.

933
00:58:34.160 --> 00:58:37.120
Yeah, yeah, it definitely is.

934
00:58:37.120 --> 00:58:39.280
We'll try it and see, and you can definitely go in there

935
00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:40.480
and change anything I did.

936
00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:42.400
That's why I gave you that link

937
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:44.880
just so you can take the captions out if you want

938
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:47.400
or whatever, just experiment with it.

939
00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:50.040
So, cool.

940
00:58:50.040 --> 00:58:56.320
I see, Bobby, you have your hand raised?

941
00:58:56.320 --> 00:58:58.800
Is there one that you think is easier

942
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:01.680
because what you just did looked really hard for me

943
00:59:01.680 --> 00:59:04.200
at this point, but is the other one,

944
00:59:04.200 --> 00:59:06.120
the CapCut or whatever that's called,

945
00:59:06.120 --> 00:59:09.560
is that a little more friendly or?

946
00:59:09.560 --> 00:59:12.080
Yeah, one of the weeks,

947
00:59:12.080 --> 00:59:14.960
we did go through and do a CapCut tutorial.

948
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:18.160
So, the only way that I would say,

949
00:59:18.160 --> 00:59:23.960
so, each of these editing, any editing software,

950
00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:28.320
it's a tool, so you can do a lot with that tool

951
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:30.520
or you can do very minimalist editing with that tool.

952
00:59:30.520 --> 00:59:33.360
So, you can do very easy editing on CapCut

953
00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:37.240
and you can do very easy editing on Descript.

954
00:59:37.240 --> 00:59:39.160
Really, if you know what you're trying to do,

955
00:59:39.160 --> 00:59:42.320
you can pretty much use any tool to get the job done.

956
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:46.920
Just, I would find one that feels comfortable for you

957
00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:48.280
that when you try it, you're like,

958
00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:50.400
oh, this actually feels very easy.

959
00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:51.640
A lot of people like Descript

960
00:59:51.640 --> 00:59:54.120
because they're very used to editing a Word document.

961
00:59:54.120 --> 00:59:56.720
And so, this is, they try to take it

962
00:59:56.720 --> 00:59:59.360
so that you're just editing the text that's on the Word,

963
00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:00.360
like, as if you're.

964
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.060
you're editing a Word document.

965
01:00:01.060 --> 01:00:03.860
And while you're deleting words and sentences,

966
01:00:03.860 --> 01:00:06.980
it's actually doing the editing for you underneath.

967
01:00:06.980 --> 01:00:09.820
So I was going through it really quick.

968
01:00:09.820 --> 01:00:11.260
And so-

969
01:00:11.260 --> 01:00:12.580
I'll look at the video.

970
01:00:12.580 --> 01:00:14.220
I'll look at that video too that you did,

971
01:00:14.220 --> 01:00:15.060
cause I-

972
01:00:15.060 --> 01:00:16.740
Yeah, and here's what I'd recommend you guys

973
01:00:16.740 --> 01:00:21.740
taking one episode or one TikTok post through Descript.

974
01:00:22.140 --> 01:00:24.820
I'll do another one through CapCut

975
01:00:24.820 --> 01:00:28.020
and another one just editing it in TikTok

976
01:00:28.020 --> 01:00:28.980
and see which one you like.

977
01:00:29.540 --> 01:00:33.140
Forcing yourself to go through the whole process once

978
01:00:33.140 --> 01:00:34.320
will be good.

979
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:37.720
Yeah, using iMovie, definitely you can use iMovie.

980
01:00:39.900 --> 01:00:42.180
They all do this kind of the same things.

981
01:00:42.180 --> 01:00:44.580
We have Adobe Premiere is kind of our go-to

982
01:00:44.580 --> 01:00:46.660
for actual video editing.

983
01:00:46.660 --> 01:00:49.820
That's what we used for Lindsey's posture

984
01:00:49.820 --> 01:00:53.780
as far as her YouTube video, her longer form content goes.

985
01:00:53.780 --> 01:00:58.020
Premiere is great, but you kind of just,

986
01:00:58.140 --> 01:01:02.300
you're picking the right tool for the job, essentially.

987
01:01:04.300 --> 01:01:06.340
If I have a video that I just need

988
01:01:06.340 --> 01:01:08.060
like two little sections cut out

989
01:01:08.060 --> 01:01:09.660
because I said the wrong date,

990
01:01:10.740 --> 01:01:15.740
could I do that in just when I'm editing on Instagram

991
01:01:17.220 --> 01:01:21.140
or do I need to go into these kinds of programs first?

992
01:01:21.140 --> 01:01:25.420
No, you can take it out in TikTok or Instagram.

993
01:01:25.420 --> 01:01:26.620
Okay, cool.

994
01:01:26.620 --> 01:01:27.980
Yeah, you can, yeah.

995
01:01:29.100 --> 01:01:33.020
And I'll just figure out how to do that, but okay.

996
01:01:33.020 --> 01:01:38.020
So, Ling, so just a couple of things on Facebook.

997
01:01:39.180 --> 01:01:42.980
When I was trying, so right now I've just been copying

998
01:01:42.980 --> 01:01:47.100
Instagram and putting it on my page, but now I updated it.

999
01:01:47.100 --> 01:01:48.500
Now there is a real thing.

1000
01:01:48.500 --> 01:01:51.500
So would I just take my TikTok

1001
01:01:53.740 --> 01:01:55.540
and just put it into that real

1002
01:01:56.180 --> 01:01:58.780
because on Facebook, when I try to do a real,

1003
01:01:58.780 --> 01:02:01.500
if I go back to Notion to try to copy anything,

1004
01:02:01.500 --> 01:02:02.900
you lose the whole thing.

1005
01:02:02.900 --> 01:02:05.180
Like I just gave up again last night.

1006
01:02:05.180 --> 01:02:09.540
So, so far I've only done the two Instagram

1007
01:02:09.540 --> 01:02:11.460
because YouTube, same with YouTube,

1008
01:02:11.460 --> 01:02:13.180
the music cuts off in 15.

1009
01:02:13.180 --> 01:02:14.500
I mean, it's just crazy.

1010
01:02:14.500 --> 01:02:16.180
I couldn't adjust the cover

1011
01:02:17.340 --> 01:02:20.780
but it could be just operator error, but has anyone else?

1012
01:02:22.180 --> 01:02:23.900
I'm trying to do each one separate.

1013
01:02:23.940 --> 01:02:27.260
So I'm learning like you guys put my reps in,

1014
01:02:27.260 --> 01:02:30.100
but eventually in order to keep up the pace

1015
01:02:30.100 --> 01:02:32.940
with my lifestyle too, I'll have to,

1016
01:02:32.940 --> 01:02:34.180
eventually after the eight weeks,

1017
01:02:34.180 --> 01:02:37.260
I'm going to try to get a little bit more efficient,

1018
01:02:37.260 --> 01:02:39.340
but now I'm just doing the reps, but.

1019
01:02:39.340 --> 01:02:44.340
Yeah, so I think what I would do

1020
01:02:46.740 --> 01:02:49.220
to keep it simple to where you can get the content out.

1021
01:02:49.220 --> 01:02:52.740
Yes, you can definitely just take the edited TikTok

1022
01:02:52.740 --> 01:02:55.180
and just post it directly to Instagram.

1023
01:02:55.180 --> 01:02:57.700
That's like, at least make sure you're doing that.

1024
01:02:57.700 --> 01:02:58.740
If you have more time,

1025
01:02:58.740 --> 01:03:03.740
you could definitely edit it in Instagram as well.

1026
01:03:03.740 --> 01:03:06.620
Part of what's nice about doing it in CapCut

1027
01:03:06.620 --> 01:03:09.300
or a different tool that's not Instagram or TikTok

1028
01:03:09.300 --> 01:03:11.900
is that you can edit it just to get the content

1029
01:03:11.900 --> 01:03:13.340
exactly how you want.

1030
01:03:13.340 --> 01:03:15.780
And then all you're doing in TikTok and Instagram

1031
01:03:15.780 --> 01:03:18.180
is you're just adding music and adding,

1032
01:03:18.180 --> 01:03:21.660
a big text block over it and you're posting it.

1033
01:03:21.660 --> 01:03:23.140
So that's, you're not sitting there

1034
01:03:23.140 --> 01:03:26.500
and like then trying to like cut it up in every app.

1035
01:03:26.500 --> 01:03:28.140
So we're doing that in one app

1036
01:03:28.140 --> 01:03:30.260
and then we're taking that edited version

1037
01:03:30.260 --> 01:03:31.820
and putting it to all the apps.

1038
01:03:33.060 --> 01:03:38.060
And I'm, right now I'm doing Instagram on its own,

1039
01:03:38.340 --> 01:03:39.900
TikTok on its own.

1040
01:03:39.900 --> 01:03:42.300
And then I copy the link in Instagram

1041
01:03:42.300 --> 01:03:44.980
and put that on my Facebook page.

1042
01:03:44.980 --> 01:03:47.660
But what I did try in addition to that now,

1043
01:03:47.660 --> 01:03:50.500
cause that's really just kind of localized.

1044
01:03:50.500 --> 01:03:53.700
I tried to do a reel from the beginning.

1045
01:03:53.700 --> 01:03:58.540
And what I was saying is when I tried to go over

1046
01:03:58.540 --> 01:04:02.980
to the notion to copy some of the things, you lose it.

1047
01:04:04.820 --> 01:04:05.860
It just goes away.

1048
01:04:05.860 --> 01:04:07.300
Like you have to start over and then I thought,

1049
01:04:07.300 --> 01:04:09.580
oh my gosh, how am I gonna?

1050
01:04:09.580 --> 01:04:10.420
Yeah.

1051
01:04:10.420 --> 01:04:13.220
That makes sense or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

1052
01:04:13.220 --> 01:04:16.580
No, we could definitely look at that,

1053
01:04:16.580 --> 01:04:18.380
try and see what exactly is happening.

1054
01:04:18.740 --> 01:04:22.660
I may have to see it to give you some really good feedback.

1055
01:04:23.540 --> 01:04:25.900
I would say just kind of what from what I'm hearing

1056
01:04:25.900 --> 01:04:29.940
is I would try the CapCut option.

1057
01:04:29.940 --> 01:04:31.140
You can watch the little tutorial.

1058
01:04:31.140 --> 01:04:32.300
I think it was week three.

1059
01:04:32.300 --> 01:04:34.660
I think Tamara dropped a link there.

1060
01:04:34.660 --> 01:04:38.260
We're just gonna walk through it in a lot of smaller pieces

1061
01:04:38.260 --> 01:04:41.980
and then try to take that and put it in each platform,

1062
01:04:41.980 --> 01:04:45.700
YouTube and Instagram and TikTok from there.

1063
01:04:45.700 --> 01:04:48.100
So you kind of like, think of it like you're pre-editing it

1064
01:04:48.820 --> 01:04:50.340
and then you're just gonna like do some minimal editing

1065
01:04:50.340 --> 01:04:51.900
in those apps and post it.

1066
01:04:53.380 --> 01:04:54.380
So cool.

1067
01:04:56.860 --> 01:04:57.700
Awesome, awesome.

1068
01:04:57.700 --> 01:04:59.180
Okay.

1069
01:04:59.180 --> 01:05:00.180
Any other like tech?

1070
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:06.080
things. We'll see if we can maybe help Susie. I'm going to try to get her video, but if any other

1071
01:05:06.080 --> 01:05:10.560
tech questions I got, I know coming up on it's four o'clock or it's already past four o'clock,

1072
01:05:10.560 --> 01:05:15.280
but anything, so if you guys need to go, I know some of you guys are at work and jumping, you know,

1073
01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:18.960
taking a break, so it's always good to have you guys and connect. If you guys have questions,

1074
01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:23.760
you can always drop them in Facebook, the Facebook group, or email us anytime,

1075
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:30.480
and then we'll definitely take a few more tech questions, but cool, but yeah, you guys are all

1076
01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:35.360
going to go if you need to, but we'll jump over to Marianne with some other. Okay, just quickly,

1077
01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:43.280
the Instagram has changed the way they do the hashtags, and it's really hard to find any

1078
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:51.360
that are worth putting on there because they all come up as either under 100 or over a billion.

1079
01:05:52.320 --> 01:05:59.440
It's just hard to find what you're saying. What happened? Changed all the way they do hashtags?

1080
01:06:02.560 --> 01:06:06.960
They did. There are some other tools. I'm going to try to find one that is good.

1081
01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:13.120
So, what were some of the hashtags you were trying, do you know?

1082
01:06:13.280 --> 01:06:24.080
Well, for a while, I was using spiritual growth. Now, that one is not good anymore. It comes very

1083
01:06:24.080 --> 01:06:34.400
low. Yeah. No condemnation. I don't know, it seemed with some of them, I ended up with about

1084
01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:42.160
three, and I'm working on it for ages, and all of them came up with huge numbers, or not enough.

1085
01:06:43.120 --> 01:06:50.160
Because you have to have over 1,000, or you don't get the views, right?

1086
01:06:50.160 --> 01:06:57.920
Right. Yeah. So, spiritual growth, there's different ways. So, sometimes those searches

1087
01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:02.880
aren't very accurate. So, if I did hashtag spiritual growth.

1088
01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:09.760
Spiritual growth there, it gives you a lot, but in mine, it was coming up with very small numbers

1089
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:15.040
It does. I know exactly what you're talking about, because it is very strange at how

1090
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:20.400
small. I was looking here, there's some other tools you can use.

1091
01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:27.440
So, this is a separate tool called keyword tool. I actually have never used this before, but

1092
01:07:28.640 --> 01:07:36.080
it does give you some options that are around that, and it just shows you spiritual growth

1093
01:07:36.080 --> 01:07:44.080
journey. Maybe better... Is this another one that you have to pay for?

1094
01:07:44.080 --> 01:07:48.800
No, this is just something I just was Googling. There's lots of little tools like this.

1095
01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:50.480
Yeah. That would be a good one to try,

1096
01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:56.080
because I'm finding vidIQ isn't even showing up on my Instagram anymore, and I'm paying for it.

1097
01:07:57.280 --> 01:08:01.520
So, I think I'm going to cancel it, because I'm finding it not very good.

1098
01:08:01.520 --> 01:08:05.120
Yeah. Does it even have... I don't even know it worked on Instagram.

1099
01:08:05.120 --> 01:08:10.640
It was doing for quite a while, or TikTok, it was working on there.

1100
01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:12.720
Okay. Not anymore.

1101
01:08:14.720 --> 01:08:23.600
Interesting. Yeah, most of the time, I'm just using it for YouTube and then TikTok, but

1102
01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:31.520
yeah, I'd have to get into it a little more to see exactly how it's set up.

1103
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:44.560
So, let's just go... Yeah, I would say you can always use hashtags that you feel are very

1104
01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:49.439
relevant. So, if you were thinking... Well, I've been trying that, and some of them,

1105
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:54.160
you can find a lot, but most of them, I just can't come up with anything that fits.

1106
01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:58.960
Okay. So, I never used to have a problem.

1107
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:01.120
Yeah. I'm looking specifically.

1108
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:05.680
You did hashtags.

1109
01:09:05.680 --> 01:09:06.960
I've hardly got any there.

1110
01:09:07.680 --> 01:09:07.840
Yeah.

1111
01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:09.600
Because I couldn't find any.

1112
01:09:11.120 --> 01:09:19.040
Yeah. I mean, I would... So, instead of... This isn't bad, this 55. I guess something to stay

1113
01:09:19.040 --> 01:09:22.640
away from is making up your own hashtags when no one's using them, obviously.

1114
01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:25.279
Well, that was one I was doing, yes.

1115
01:09:25.279 --> 01:09:31.120
But this is good, like, No Condemnation and Life in the Spirit. I mean, there's 5,000 posts on that,

1116
01:09:31.120 --> 01:09:33.520
and No Condemnation, I'm sure, has some good...

1117
01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:38.000
The No Condemnation was not that great.

1118
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:42.560
Okay. Well, there's... I mean, 20,000 posts is still pretty good.

1119
01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:46.319
Well, that's really good, but that wasn't what I was getting coming up.

1120
01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:50.479
Yeah. So, when you are on the website and when you're on the app, it just has, like,

1121
01:09:51.040 --> 01:09:55.920
fewer than 1,000 or fewer than 100 or zero or, like, 2 million.

1122
01:09:55.920 --> 01:09:56.240
Yeah.

1123
01:09:56.240 --> 01:09:58.400
So, the website is different, then.

1124
01:09:58.400 --> 01:09:59.760
Yeah. And you can't...

1125
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:01.380
really close from in here.

1126
01:10:01.380 --> 01:10:03.800
So I'm not telling you to do it in here,

1127
01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:06.160
but I'm just saying like,

1128
01:10:06.160 --> 01:10:08.840
basically it could be a bug on their side,

1129
01:10:08.840 --> 01:10:09.680
that's the short version.

1130
01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:12.360
Okay, okay, then I won't worry about it.

1131
01:10:12.360 --> 01:10:14.480
But I think I'm gonna get rid of vidIQ.

1132
01:10:14.480 --> 01:10:16.320
What was the other one you mentioned?

1133
01:10:18.440 --> 01:10:19.660
That was, well, there was another one.

1134
01:10:19.660 --> 01:10:22.240
I was just testing this keyword tool,

1135
01:10:22.240 --> 01:10:24.400
but I know nothing about this tool.

1136
01:10:24.400 --> 01:10:25.480
I just literally Googled it.

1137
01:10:25.480 --> 01:10:26.320
Okay.

1138
01:10:26.320 --> 01:10:28.720
There's a lot of Instagram hashtag,

1139
01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:29.760
I could probably look for one,

1140
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:32.480
but there's one called besthashtags.com.

1141
01:10:32.480 --> 01:10:33.880
These should all be free.

1142
01:10:35.240 --> 01:10:36.080
Yeah.

1143
01:10:36.080 --> 01:10:37.600
And you can sometimes, I don't know,

1144
01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:38.600
there's, I've seen a few,

1145
01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:40.520
I can go dig and find a good one,

1146
01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:43.640
but you can just type in a few words

1147
01:10:43.640 --> 01:10:46.080
and it will kind of give you, help you,

1148
01:10:46.080 --> 01:10:48.160
you'll suggest a bunch of ideas for things.

1149
01:10:48.160 --> 01:10:50.400
So you don't have to send them all.

1150
01:10:50.400 --> 01:10:52.320
But these are doing very well, obviously,

1151
01:10:52.320 --> 01:10:54.400
like 8,843.

1152
01:10:54.400 --> 01:10:57.120
Yeah, for a few weeks, I've hardly done anything.

1153
01:10:57.120 --> 01:10:58.760
And then all of a sudden.

1154
01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:01.600
Yeah, I see it's like 100, 100, and then 4,000.

1155
01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:02.440
Yeah.

1156
01:11:04.840 --> 01:11:05.680
Okay.

1157
01:11:05.680 --> 01:11:06.520
Thank you, Bruce.

1158
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:07.520
That's good.

1159
01:11:07.520 --> 01:11:08.360
Cool.

1160
01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:12.560
Awesome.

1161
01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:13.400
Yeah, exactly.

1162
01:11:13.400 --> 01:11:16.400
Whatever Xavier's saying about my movie is good.

1163
01:11:16.400 --> 01:11:17.240
Yeah, cool.

1164
01:11:17.240 --> 01:11:18.960
We'll see you Holly, if you have to go.

1165
01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:19.800
Awesome guys.

1166
01:11:22.080 --> 01:11:22.920
Cool, cool.

1167
01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:26.720
Marcella, did you have your hand raised?

1168
01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:28.640
Yeah, just a quick question.

1169
01:11:29.640 --> 01:11:33.240
So I hadn't really posted lately on my YouTube channel.

1170
01:11:33.240 --> 01:11:36.000
So with the shorts, just a quick reminder,

1171
01:11:37.120 --> 01:11:40.560
are we putting hashtags in the YouTube for the shorts?

1172
01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:43.600
Am I doing that when I go to upload it?

1173
01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:45.320
I just wanna make sure,

1174
01:11:45.320 --> 01:11:46.160
because I didn't write that down.

1175
01:11:46.160 --> 01:11:47.800
You can.

1176
01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:49.880
Yeah, on the YouTube app, when you post it on,

1177
01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:52.400
you can definitely add similar hashtags.

1178
01:11:53.240 --> 01:11:54.680
Okay.

1179
01:11:54.680 --> 01:11:59.680
Yeah, and I would always add a sentence, right?

1180
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:02.240
For all these, they're all the same.

1181
01:12:02.240 --> 01:12:03.800
So you typically write a sentence

1182
01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:06.160
of what the content's about.

1183
01:12:06.160 --> 01:12:08.760
So like just a one sentence intro,

1184
01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:10.720
and then you can do all your hashtags behind that.

1185
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:12.840
And so the only reason you do all that

1186
01:12:12.840 --> 01:12:15.880
is to tell the platform what this video is about

1187
01:12:15.880 --> 01:12:18.760
and to try to give them some sense of some keywords.

1188
01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:22.480
So the sentence you write before,

1189
01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:24.680
if it has some of those keywords.

1190
01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:27.560
So if you're doing hashtag no condemnation,

1191
01:12:27.560 --> 01:12:28.840
like Marion was doing,

1192
01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:31.680
having a sentence that includes the phrase,

1193
01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:33.520
no condemnation would be very powerful

1194
01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:35.600
because it says, oh, there's a sentence about this

1195
01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:37.760
and she's doing the hashtag about it.

1196
01:12:37.760 --> 01:12:40.440
And then she says it verbally in the video.

1197
01:12:42.280 --> 01:12:44.120
But if you're talking about Roman seven,

1198
01:12:44.120 --> 01:12:45.720
and then you mentioned Roman seven,

1199
01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:47.000
and then you have,

1200
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:50.400
these are the three keys I found in Roman seven

1201
01:12:50.400 --> 01:12:51.640
as your sentence.

1202
01:12:52.640 --> 01:12:54.120
So you do it in all three places

1203
01:12:54.120 --> 01:12:57.040
if that's really the foundation of your.

1204
01:12:58.040 --> 01:12:59.920
I'm just trying to remember that.

1205
01:12:59.920 --> 01:13:01.640
So for the same thing, right?

1206
01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:03.480
Cause I couldn't remember,

1207
01:13:03.480 --> 01:13:05.840
I've only had one short on YouTube.

1208
01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:09.880
So I know we were doing it for the longer content,

1209
01:13:09.880 --> 01:13:14.880
but I wanted to put some of the videos up there.

1210
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:16.440
Okay.

1211
01:13:16.440 --> 01:13:17.640
Yeah, that's all I had.

1212
01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:19.800
Yeah, and you can always get back on YouTube as easy.

1213
01:13:19.800 --> 01:13:21.680
You can edit it after you've posted it.

1214
01:13:21.680 --> 01:13:24.480
So don't stress out with that one.

1215
01:13:24.480 --> 01:13:26.360
Instagram's, you can't,

1216
01:13:26.360 --> 01:13:28.360
and TikTok is pretty much whatever it is

1217
01:13:28.360 --> 01:13:29.440
when you get out there.

1218
01:13:29.440 --> 01:13:33.200
But yeah, just to, I have Marian's pulled up,

1219
01:13:33.200 --> 01:13:34.720
but she did a good, is a great example,

1220
01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:37.400
like get rid of offense and keep your joy.

1221
01:13:37.400 --> 01:13:39.720
So hashtag be joyful.

1222
01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:41.000
And she said, keep your joy.

1223
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:43.120
Like these are, the algorithm will see that

1224
01:13:43.120 --> 01:13:44.000
as similar things.

1225
01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.600
And she said, you know, hashtag offense

1226
01:13:46.600 --> 01:13:47.760
and get rid of offense.

1227
01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:50.560
So now we've like doubled up already on some of those.

1228
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:55.560
And she has Romans 14, 17 as the sticker on there,

1229
01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:57.640
like some texts there.

1230
01:13:57.640 --> 01:13:58.920
And she's hashtag Roman.

1231
01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:02.200
So you're doing a lot of duplication like that

1232
01:14:02.200 --> 01:14:04.040
to really kind of drive it home

1233
01:14:04.040 --> 01:14:05.560
about what this video is about.

1234
01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:08.680
So that's great.

1235
01:14:08.680 --> 01:14:10.480
This is actually a good example.

1236
01:14:11.320 --> 01:14:16.320
I would add thumbnails, Marian.

1237
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:21.880
Even on one minute videos?

1238
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:26.880
Yeah, not with Canva, but just in Instagram.

1239
01:14:27.120 --> 01:14:28.560
But how, okay.

1240
01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:31.640
But you mean a special picture on the outside?

1241
01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:33.280
Yeah, so I think you can add the,

1242
01:14:33.280 --> 01:14:35.920
it's called like, they call it a cover.

1243
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:37.840
And I was doing that originally,

1244
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:39.440
and then I didn't, I stopped

1245
01:14:39.480 --> 01:14:44.480
because I thought people can tell more from the video

1246
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:49.520
with all the bits on it than they can from a cover.

1247
01:14:50.480 --> 01:14:53.680
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1248
01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:54.840
But something just like this,

1249
01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:56.440
you see it says like, when God speaks,

1250
01:14:56.440 --> 01:14:58.080
run to Jesus, power of Jesus.

1251
01:14:58.080 --> 01:14:59.000
Yeah.

1252
01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:00.480
It can be simple and minimal.

1253
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:05.520
list like this, uh, but you've got, you've got to take a special picture each time though, right?

1254
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:10.640
Oh, no, no, no, sorry. So you just edit this in, um, so once you've got, uh,

1255
01:15:11.920 --> 01:15:17.120
your post, you could, right before you send it, let me see if I can pull, uh, I won't be able to

1256
01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:23.040
share this iPad with you guys. Let's see. Well, it tells you to pick out a picture for your cover.

1257
01:15:23.920 --> 01:15:28.560
Yes. And you can just pick one of the frames of the video. And that's what I've been doing.

1258
01:15:29.120 --> 01:15:32.800
Okay. But then on top of that, you can also add text at that point.

1259
01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:41.760
So no, no, I didn't find that. I didn't notice that it gave me, um, okay, let's see.

1260
01:15:43.120 --> 01:15:53.200
So let me just video, um,

1261
01:15:53.200 --> 01:16:04.240
um, next. So yeah, it has edit cover and, but it doesn't give you the ability to write on it.

1262
01:16:04.240 --> 01:16:10.800
Does it? Yeah. You may have to add it to the first frame of your, like, maybe that just needs to be

1263
01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:17.920
what's on screen when you first put up your video and you add all the bits that shouldn't it be on

1264
01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:25.920
the first screen? Um, in theory, yes. But, um, what I'm saying is like, I think what yours,

1265
01:16:25.920 --> 01:16:31.360
let me just see if I can watch this. Yes. Your text is coming up. What you may just have to do

1266
01:16:31.360 --> 01:16:36.400
is when you hit edit cover, it gives you the option to kind of at the bottom to scroll left

1267
01:16:36.400 --> 01:16:41.360
and right to find the exact clip. So you just make sure that you find something where the text.

1268
01:16:42.480 --> 01:16:47.360
So if I get one with the text on, it'll still start at the beginning of the video, right?

1269
01:16:47.360 --> 01:16:52.240
Oh, yes. Okay. I didn't realize that Bruce. And then you, you can get a good, like,

1270
01:16:53.200 --> 01:17:00.160
facial expression as well. So you don't have to, well, this is Lindsay's pet peeve. Like she,

1271
01:17:00.160 --> 01:17:05.360
every time we get this, like she hates all the pictures. I mean, it's fine. Um,

1272
01:17:06.240 --> 01:17:12.480
okay. If you just do like a few frames before or after, sometimes it's better, but, um, yeah.

1273
01:17:12.480 --> 01:17:18.640
All right. Thank you. Awesome. Okay. Guys, anything else? Let's see.

1274
01:17:21.040 --> 01:17:24.400
Um, yeah, I wasn't able to download your video from Facebook. Um,

1275
01:17:25.920 --> 01:17:31.440
Susie, but if you want to upload it to cam TV, you can probably look at it, um, as well later.

1276
01:17:31.440 --> 01:17:39.680
I wasn't able to upload it to cam TV, but I, we transfer to help.

1277
01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:45.680
Okay. That's great. That'll work. Oh, I can take a look at it there for you. Awesome. Yeah. I guess

1278
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:53.360
I need to learn how to upload it. I tried posting it and it, it wouldn't post. Um, gotcha. Okay.

1279
01:17:54.000 --> 01:18:02.000
Keep working at it. No problem. All right, guys, I'm going to run and go take over for Hannah. Um,

1280
01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:06.880
and so we'll, uh, we'll, uh, see you guys next. So next Tuesday is going to be tech Tuesday.

1281
01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:11.600
And then Thursday is going to be content. We're flip-flopping them because Hannah has a doctor's

1282
01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:16.480
appointment. And so Lindsay has to take her on Tuesday. So we're flipping them, but we'll let
