Hey guys, how are you doing?
We are a little bit early.
I hope everybody's doing well.
Awesome.
Hey Mary, how's it going?
Good.
Actually, I go by two names, Mary Alice.
Mary Alice, sorry.
Yes, I actually did know that.
It was my mother's idea.
Very cool.
Glad you're here.
Thanks for sharing the event you're at.
That's amazing.
That's so cool.
Isn't it?
Wow.
I'm going to go ahead and get started.
I'm going to get started.
I'm going to go ahead and get started.
And I'm going to go ahead and get started.
So I've compiled.
All the stuff that they've got.
Set up there. So we're.
Lindsay is still downstairs doing that. So.
She's doing that. I'm going to do this and hang out with you guys.
No, no, it's good.
I am happy to take.
This is like, it'll be a nice, like.
Sit down for a second.
I don't know.
It's pretty much what's been happening.
Her nerves.
Right.
Sorry.
I'm not sure I know what she's doing.
She's at the a hundred X conference.
With Pedro.
Yeah.
She's here and.
She is,
they're doing an in-person events with about seven,
eight people.
And she's.
Hosting the zoom piece of it. So.
Awesome.
Okay.
Just getting set up here.
Okay. Get you live on Facebook.
That it's officially four o'clock.
Or sorry, seven, seven.
Okay.
Just checking.
Our list here. We had.
A few people.
Okay. It was quite a list of people. Okay, great. This is awesome.
So I'll just go top to bottom.
So let's start with Vanessa.
Okay.
So.
There's like design and brand and then Facebook ads.
Okay. Yes.
What's easiest for you to start with.
I think maybe we could start with.
Facebook.
Sure.
What do you suggest? Yeah.
Okay.
So I was assuming that you're going to kind of guide me step-by-step.
I got a glimpse of you on Tuesday.
Okay.
Yeah.
Where did you get, like, how far did you get for.
Well, yeah.
Cause I didn't send anything else.
I wanted to have this discussion first. Okay.
So I did get to the.
I'm lost on the audience section.
I did like a test ad through something else that my husband's done.
And I was like, okay, I'm going to do this.
So yeah.
If we could just kind of.
Yeah.
Share your screen. We can take a look.
Your ad account.
Just see what's going on.
Sure.
Let me find where I am.
Quickly.
It looks like we've got,
I know we'll talk to Lee Brendan and then.
Denise as well.
Okay.
This won't take long.
Cool.
Okay.
You guys jumping on.
We should be ready.
Does Lindsay get nervous when she goes live,
like with something like that, or is she.
You know, it's like.
So Lindsay is now.
The numbers don't bother her. It's like when stuff's not super clear.
I don't know what the number one would be.
But she's in like, amazing under pressure because people are literally,
like a minute before she's going on. They're like, Oh,
and also like let's change this thing.
And actually we're going to give this prize away.
And.
It's been, you know, she's just like, okay, yep.
in like a fun way and tells like an anecdote about the thing that they just threw at her
This. And then she like,
so like the whole like their team we've been i've been very proud of her basically um but
yes she's not been flustered it's just more just like kind of going with the flow so it's been good
but yeah
she doesn't like when
i'm sorry i'm just gonna turn
i'm excited for you that's good i'm just going to turn your video off because i think it's like
it was um taking the bandwidth but yeah if you want to share your screen okay now
okay so we're on my screen now um i'm in facebook but i remember you said there's a certain
place we should go to like don't go directly so we should go where again it's uh business
dot facebook.com slash ads manager i'll type it in the chat here but business dot
facebook.com slash ads manager
com slash ads manager all together right yeah okay i think that's it so
yeah and it will probably that's correct there we go right okay okay so you may see some stuff
here can you see clearly that yeah okay great i'm gonna move all this way over here and um
i think you see some things that i did through a youth outreach page and some stuff in the summer
but now i would go to create or create okay so let's go to play and at this point you could
pretty much go through the video um and just line by line like go set it up i just want to make sure
you're getting to this page okay and that you're set up but um yeah and we can go through it really
quick now but if you wanted it in kind of a slower form you could go through the video and just sort
of pause it at the right spots um but that was we kind of took it from this point where you're
at right now through to like publishing the ads which by the way we've got 200 more likes
on the 200 more followers since tuesday when we turned that kind of fake ad on i was gonna
we spent maybe 30 i think to get it 35 um we'll keep you guys in the loop um we didn't really
um change anything but that means any of you could have had 200 more followers by
yeah three days um so yeah did you have specific question or did you yeah
okay so once i go to create so i go to create here so it's loading create whatever so now i'm
gonna go to i'm gonna choose let's say you encourage traffic or yeah are you trying to do
grow your facebook well i'm more trying to connect what i've been working on on youtube
technically i'm just i'm just going to use something that i have here on facebook as
a like just use it to so i make sure i'm going through the steps properly but like how you
mentioned about maybe let's start off with getting more likes maybe something like that so would i
go to traffic um so this will be engagement um you'll scroll down here and then choose page
like so this i would create a campaign to just promote face but your facebook page
okay so if you scroll down here yeah just like yeah and there's one that says page likes is the
second one there but um i would if you want like to go through the video like line by line
because this would take about 40 30 40 minutes to set it up you want to do that no no no okay
pretty straightforward though if you're on the screen i would bookmark the screen so you can
get back to it right right right and then if you want to set it up and follow that and then if you
still don't feel like 100 that you're ready to launch it then maybe on tuesday we could look at
it and then we'll review it before you publish them but you you could definitely publish them
and let them run over the weekend um okay okay okay cool so i'll right so i'll do that i'll go
i'll go back into was it tuesday's video i think it was or whatever yeah today's okay okay yeah
okay awesome that's great okay i'll keep i'll keep at it while you're if you have any questions
while you're watching the video just post a comment in the video and just tag me
and okay yeah um cool so you don't get stuck yeah all right so i'll do that thank you
no problem
That's great. I will.
Well we I know you had a second question but we can circle back to you I think there will be time because there. We have not a lot of people on so let me just see.
Going over here.
Yes.
I think that Denise.
Do you want to go next.
There you go. Thank you.
Are you speaking to me. Yes. Oh, I am so sorry, my, my, my audio just went out right when you.
That's okay.
Sorry. That's great. Okay.
So I installed teleprompter on everybody on the iPad and on the Mac, and they're not synchronizing with each other, and I can't figure out how to do.
So, I can show you my screen when I have on the, on the Mac.
And I can probably even hook my iPad up but I know that they don't. They just go back and forth.
And they say, I'm trying to connect.
That was after we figured out that little switch on my iPad. Okay. Interesting. Yes, it was after figuring out because I couldn't even find that I did find that place.
But not the place you found I'm just at the point where I go to the right, and I try to connect my iPad.
And it says it's searching the network.
Make sure that it's open, which it is.
I know, but it could be that one's teleprompter one's controller I don't, I don't even know. Yeah, and are you so you have, and they're both the exact same icon like the red I'm just wondering if there's maybe two.
That's a good question. Yeah, I'm so technically literacy, you're learning.
One's teleprompter controller one's teleprompter, and they should both be called teleprompter teleprompter Okay, no, they both are. So what I'm going to do here is I have to have one that's teleprompter ones teleprompter controller so on my Mac I have teleprompter
open on my iPad I'm now opening teleprompter not teleprompter controller. Okay. Okay. Gotcha. All right.
But when I do that.
Nothing comes up. Oh no, it does.
Yeah, so what comes up is they just want to connect, they're just having a hard time connecting. Yeah. And they're both in the same Wi Fi.
As I know, I mean, okay.
So you can go to this like on your, you can check on your Mac by going to the top right with a little Wi Fi icon and just, and if you click on that little icon.
Top right, it will just drop down which network you're on. And then if you go to your iPad and go to the settings.
There is a.
Wait, wait, wait, you lost me so the icon on the teleprompter thing or on my computer so like on your computer like at the very top. Oh, right. Yeah.
That's the top. Yeah. And then what happens when I open this teleprompter thing is it just goes blank.
It opens controls flip vertical overlay arrow that that's all it says it has a screen when I first opened on the computer, do you have a, do you have a script loaded in.
Now, can you even if you just type something into the one on the computer just to have some sort of script.
And I don't know if you can, can you share your screen on on your Mac, you're on. Yes, yes.
Okay, sure.
It may be connected but there's no script yet.
Okay.
Oh,
not.
Hang on a second.
Okay.
This looks very different than ours, but it is the right app some of it looks familiar so let's
try just clicking on like screens here
at the top right there.
And as soon as probably on the way, but see if that's technically your computer yeah and it should show up there.
But it's not.
If you go.
Just uncheck.
the recording, because you won't see that, and then the timer, you can turn that off as well.
Oh, they're on because they're red. Okay.
Yeah, I think so. And then if you click on this like overview,
just see here. Okay, that's kind of what we wanted to see. And then click on segments there,
we're just turning a bunch of stuff off that you probably won't need anyway. Okay, that's good. So
those are just if you had like, now here, if you just kind of click into this,
you should be able to like type in here. I don't know if you can do that. If you kind of click in,
you can just type your name or something. Oh, I see. Okay.
So this is where you would just technically you would come and paste in your script.
Okay, you could go write it in Word or Google Docs or something, copy it all and paste it in here.
Okay. But this would at least having something on here. This is now once it's connected to your
iPad, like as you're typing, it will show up on your iPad. Oh, well, yes. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.
Hold on. So create document. Oh, wait, wait. Oh, yeah. No, it is. There it is. It's worked.
Oh, my God. It only took three weeks, but we got it for you.
Oh, my gosh. Patience. Okay, so this comes right up the right then when that's that should click
automatic when it comes on. Okay. And then these buttons there, once it's in the mirror,
like I think if you're at your work or whatever now, but when you're back with the teleprompter,
the little mirror and just place the teleprompter there. Sorry, the iPad is what I should say.
And then just click on this button or that one. And just they just toggles like it'll toggle it
one way. Oh, I see that. So it depends on what you need. Oh, I love this. It's so exciting. I
love this app. Now I was so frustrated with it. I promise it's a good app because we have tested a
lot of them and we use it all the time. I trusted you in that because I was tempted to go look at
this. No, they said this is the best one. So I have one other question with my content. I am a
writer and I am a deep thinker and these 10 minute bullet points. I don't know. It's kind of hard for
me to think of it as an appetizer and put it in. But I thought to myself, what if I wrote an ebook
and I got it all out? And then in the first couple podcasts, I could just refer them
to the ebook. I think that's great. And that way that I wouldn't have to explain
the underpinnings behind it. Yeah, I think and someone else.
Bobby, I think has has she's written multiple books and she has another book that's in progress
now. And so what we were saying as well, like take a book is a great framework for content
because it's a structured sort of explanation or while you're walking through a very sort of
structured piece, like it's broken into chapters, you know, there's different paragraphs or sections.
So that creates a great resource for you to pull like content from as well. So you could even just
pull a page or two from one of the chapters and that technically could be your episode for the
you know, and then you can say, hey, this is actually part of my book, which you click on the
link below and then download or and I would I wouldn't make it necessarily make it paid,
but you could at least ask for an email address to get it. And that way you could start to build
a little bit of an email email list with that. That's an excellent idea. Make it free,
make it free, but ask for an email. Yeah, thank you. No, this is I think this feels more organic
to me is pull some of my content, at least from the book. Yeah, starting with the book and just
putting it all in there, because if you can just get the ideas out of your head and out of your
heart and like onto some a page some way and start to organize it into a book format, taking it from
that and putting it into episodes, into a video podcast would actually be pretty easy, I think,
because now you're just formatting. You're not having to be like create from scratch. Essentially,
you're just sort of molding it now into the right form for video. Awesome. I love it. Thank you.
I'm going to get off soon. I just want to thank you so much for helping. And actually,
just it's a fresh topic because I just talked to another kingdom.
messenger member, Sheree Shannon, she was one of our first groups and I just chatted
with her last night and she has got a way to basically put an ebook together in Canva
very easily.
She's going to put ebooks together and these journals and she's like, and so I was like,
you need to come teach a master class and show the rest of the group how you're doing
it.
So she was like, absolutely.
So we'll get her on in the next week or two to do that.
Which basically you can do on Canva for free.
And it looks beautiful.
It looks like a professionally published book when it's finished.
So she's been doing that and creating these little like a seven day journal, prayer journal
or like a, you know, 21 day, you know, something and people could kind of, it's a little interactive
or a book they could print out or something.
So cool.
Oh, I love that.
And her name is Sheree?
Sheree.
Yeah.
She's in this group.
If you want and message her, but I will have her on definitely.
So she was happy to do that.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
And Lee was asking, what's the teleprompter called?
The name of this app is called teleprompter.
Unfortunately, they're all called teleprompter, but this one and I'll try and let me find
the logo.
We actually.
Do you want me to share it again?
I'm sorry.
I have it.
I'm going to pull it up here.
And I saw two things from you, Denise.
Did we get both of those answered?
Yeah.
Okay.
One was from Tuesday, but then Tuesday we did the Facebook ad for Masterclass.
So great.
The link, I believe, is let me just search for it really quick.
It's in the membership site.
I just can't remember what it's called.
Just make sure it's called teleprompter, not teleprompter controller.
Right.
And it says TP and it has a red.
It's red.
It's just for Mac, which is on.
There you go.
So I dropped the link.
It's this.
It's how you say it.
Yeah.
That's it.
That link in the chat there.
Work for you guys.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Okay.
Well, good luck with that.
I know if you've been frustrated for hours on that, hopefully you made some progress
today.
Thank you.
And everything else kind of flow now.
I'm going to do an ebook writing workshop this weekend, and I think everything will
just come together.
It's going to happen.
Yeah.
Just keep.
I mean, you're four weeks further down the road than you were four weeks ago.
So now you have the teleprompter figured out and all other things.
So it'll pick up momentum.
Awesome.
Thank you.
So I saw.
Let's see.
Thanks, guys, for actually for using the form and all that.
So I think, Lee, you guys had an audit.
The channel you guys wanted to look at.
Yeah.
Tick tock.
Because even if there's something that I could watch to learn how to get more followers,
because I'm feeling there's a lot of our who there.
From what I can see, there's a lot of people who are following us on Twitter.
So if you guys want to follow us on Twitter, you can.
Yeah.
Obviously, we're getting so many.
Who there from what I've been told by cake?
Pulled up your link.
You have your last video has 600 views.
I.
That was Dylan.
Just like a.
Yeah.
And I video that for my camera.
So.
And I could not get over how much that's.
I've taken one of the.
One of the old videos off, which was a promo.
Cause I've got zero.
But that's because I think YouTube was still.
You know,
I had music within there that.
The license thing.
So that we're playing it.
So, yeah.
But yeah, any tips on.
The tick tock.
And.
You know,
even if there's something Bruce that, you know,
I could watch.
On the membership site that will teach me today,
how to get better at tick tock.
Yeah. And did you go through like Isaac's.
Training already.
No.
Is that on our membership page? Brilliant.
Yeah, let me pull.
I'll send you a link.
But so the good thing is like, it's, I mean, it's working.
You've got your first three videos up.
The followers are just.
Just come.
with time, I would like, look at the, um, I would use the views as your success
metric for now.
Um, but I mean, if you had like 10 or 20 views, I would have, you know, that
would have been like, yeah, it's just, it starts to warm up, but I mean, the
other two had like 200 and then how many views, I mean, if you compare that to
like how many views your YouTube channel is getting, right?
Like this is, that's quite a lot.
Um, yeah, 200 on the first video and two to 48 and then 600 on the last one.
Um, so just keep posting.
It is a, it's a quantity.
Um, I don't say it's quality quantity over quality necessarily.
Obviously we always want to put out something that's valuable, but it is
just putting out a lot of little things with it.
Um, and so what I, one thing I think works well for the content, you can
definitely go back and edit, you know, a 60 second clip from one of your
episodes and post it to Tik TOK.
The other thing you can do is just when you finish the interview, just pick up
your phone and just record a 60 second summary or 60 second thought essentially.
Right.
Cause you can't teach into something for in 60 seconds, but you can give someone
an idea to think about, um, or a concept or, Hey, we just finished an interview
with Dylan Langley and, and, you know, one of the things that he said was this,
this, and this, and isn't that, or one of the stats he gave was that there are X
number of, you know, people in this area.
And we just thought that was amazing.
And, you know, this is, you know, just kind of give like a quick
little snapshot of something.
But if you're just hitting record and just trying to keep it to 60 seconds,
that's actually a lot faster than trying to sit there and edit, um, you know, a
45 minute interview down to like something, 60 seconds of value.
Yeah.
That's really excellent, Bruce.
What, what we did, what we did with Dylan, we didn't tell him about this,
but when he came online, we gave him a, um, cause he's an ad-libber and he, he
loves just flying.
Like he loves getting in front of people and just doing it, but he did ask for
questions, but when he came on, I said, just for like a couple of minutes, can
you just talk about leaving care?
So we've got a separate part of that.
So I think it goes for two minutes.
So we've got, we've got that as well.
That's, that's great.
Um, once you get certain numbers of followers on TikTok, they will open that
up a bit so you can start to post two minutes and three minute pieces.
Um, so that will be helpful.
Um, one thing that you want to do, and I'm just looking at like your hashtags.
Um, so you had on like Dylan's one, um, okay.
So you have the link to YouTube, um, and I want to, let me see if I can, or
do you, do you guys mind pulling it up?
No, you want me to share it?
I'm on a different computer, which I don't have the permission set and it's
going to ask me to quit zoom and I don't want to kick you all off.
Yeah.
But if you just share it, that'd be perfect.
So, um, let me grab my pen here.
So, uh, if you click into this last one, Dylan's one there.
Um, so a couple of things that's just looking at what's going over here.
So one that was like a day ago, right?
You got 600 views in a day.
So that's awesome.
Um, so, um, okay.
I'm seeing a couple of things we can, we can work on.
So, um, this looks like the Instagram reels, or did you guys also posted in reels?
Uh, no.
Oh, how did I get this?
Um, I think I got it off Instagram cause I couldn't work out how to put it on TikTok.
I think I've got it off Instagram and copied the link or, or something.
Remember something like that.
That's fine.
Yeah.
So if you can't basically guess my way around it, so I wish I had a strategy,
but I don't think I did.
That's fine.
Yeah.
So if you, um, have the sort of original clip and you can take that clip and upload
it to Instagram, uh, that would be great.
And then, and then take that same clip and upload it there rather than trying to take
the TikTok version and upload it to Instagram reels or the Instagram reels
version and upload it to TikTok.
They basically they're competitors, right?
So if they, if you upload with the TikTok logo, sometimes it gets pushed down in the
algorithm.
Like it basically gives it a lower quality score.
So what, yeah.
So what I'd need to do.
Nothing to this one.
You just, this is, this has happened already, but for the next one, um, just if you
record something on your phone, just upload that file, like on the TikTok app directly
to TikTok original file and upload it to, um, Instagram reel.
So it's basically both platforms will get, um, sort of the clean version without
anything on it.
because there's an option to save the finished.
So once you edit it and you add like the text
like you did here, that'd be great.
So that's the one thing, that's actually a minor thing.
Let's look at some of the bigger things.
So like, there's no need to put your YouTube link
right there.
One, it's not clickable for anyone on TikTok.
So no one's can click on that link
and just go to the episode.
So what you could use those is use that as a space
for just a couple words that says like recent interview
with Dylan Langley about this, you know,
something just very brief.
And I would also add text here.
It's like a thought process, like a discussion
with Dylan Langley on the current state
of foster care in Australia or something,
you know, whatever the thing is.
And you could have like a sentence there
and then kind of have like,
where instead of just having his name there,
have it be like a phrase or something
that kind of grabs people's attention.
Because if you close this, like at the top left there,
this, you see, this is kind of like an ad.
It's taking a thumbnail.
So it's whatever people see there,
it's gonna help them cause like,
should I click on this or should I not click on it?
So this is all really good.
Like the fact that you created the TikTok account
and you posted three videos and you've got some views.
So like, this is fantastic.
Because typically we just recommend starting TikTok
like day 60 through 90.
So you should feel really good
about being sort of ahead of things.
And the fact that you didn't watch Isaac's
like line by line tutorial on this is awesome.
So those are just a couple of things.
And then the hashtags,
you just want to look for hashtags
that people are searching for.
And so one way to do it.
Oh, we got this idea, let's put together this group.
If I click on.
Hi there, where are you hosting?
So if you click, like if you open up his video there.
Dylan's here.
Yeah, if you do that again
and then just click on one of the,
let's see, like care leavers maybe.
Oh, that one, yep.
So this will show you like how much traffic
is coming to this tag.
And right now it's not any traffic coming to that tag.
So basically while it is very much about that content,
there's no one's going in
and searching for that at the moment.
And there are people using the hashtag
and so basically what you can do is right from this page,
everything you need to know to fix this is on this page.
So if you click on,
I have no idea what this content is,
but I do see something called social work or system.
And so basically what you do is you can click on this video.
I have no idea what this is,
but if you click on it
and find someone that's like talking generally
about what you're doing
and they have, you know, 10,000, 500, you know,
50,000 views, like look at the hashtags
you can kind of reverse engineer anyone's video.
So just for fun, if you want to click on that video
and then click on the hashtag,
like you'll see someone's done all the research to figure out.
Click on that social work.
Yeah. So if you click,
I don't know where the hashtags are not showing up now.
Social work?
Yes. Oh yeah. Sorry. There it is.
So if you click on that.
So this, look at that.
193 million, like views on that.
That would be a good hashtag to use.
So you didn't, that's how we would do it.
Now we've got one hashtag.
Now I'd go find a second one
and a third and a fourth like this.
And then you would put all those in
and you can pretty much copy them and paste them.
One of the things Isaac does is he keeps the hashtags
almost the same for all the videos that you post.
You may add like hashtag Dylan Langley,
like to one of them if that's who you're interviewing.
But that's how you would do.
And the hashtags is what basically ties you into the stream
and kind of helps redirect the flow of all the, you know,
billion, I think it's almost a billion people on TikTok
flow into that.
So yeah, and that's just what we did there
where you can go into someone else's video
and see what they're using.
And then now we know which hashtag to use.
There's also a website called TikTokhashtags.com
and you can put in your couple keywords
and that will just do a quick search
and tell you which hashtags to use.
That's free.
It's just a little free website.
Thanks, Bruce. Do you need a comma after hashtags? I can watch Isaac's and find out.
Because once I accidentally tagged a Leo Gorman, and he was kindly just saying,
please stop tagging me in your posts. So it took me a while, but I worked out how
to delete them all from our YouTube. Yeah. But it was because Thrive e-coaching or
the website was in and it just kept putting Leo Gorman there. He's like, I love what you're doing,
but please stop tagging me. So I was like, sorry, new to this. And he was really good.
Gotcha. Yeah. I think if you're putting them on your phone, I haven't done it on TikTok recently,
but I think you add a hashtag and just do a space. I think we'll separate them,
at least on TikTok. It may be different on, I know on YouTube, you can just do a comma.
We'll separate them out. Okay. Yeah.
Okay. But that's great. And I'm going to just, let me just find the teaching there for you.
I think it's called like,
I believe there's two. And Isaac is the one who's running Lindsay's TikTok for us.
So, and that's why we had him come in and share about it because he does it all the time.
Like that's what he does. He has like personally grown accounts to like 100,000 and 180,000
followers. So it's, and all for like Christian ministry. So it's really cool. So he walks
through like all of how he does stuff, a little presentation and stuff he'll walk through,
how to set your profile up and all that. So that's the help I need. That's fantastic.
I'm just going to bookmark you now. Brilliant.
There's an infinite amount. And if you guys are looking, you're like, wow,
I haven't even like made my TikTok account yet. That's totally fine.
There's an infinite amount of people you can reach and there's an infinite amount of ways
you can reach them. So just keep doing what you feel like you can do and just keep moving forward.
So don't be overwhelmed. No, I feel like you're way behind. Like, oh, I should have posted this
week on TikTok. Oh, I should have posted over here on YouTube. And then it's not helpful.
So that's good. Bruce, is that a cappuccino or is that a latte?
Okay. This is Phil's coffee. My love language is very nice coffees, which in Australia,
you guys, I feel like every coffee shop is amazing that we went to in Australia, but
this is in California and they're only in California here in the US.
And so we've been getting it a couple of times a day.
Yeah, that's good. I had like one other question, but I literally can give it over to somebody else.
Yeah, that's good. We should have some time. Let me just see who else. I see
Rebecca or Brett are on. James. Areva James, sorry.
Did you guys have a question or are you guys looking at Facebook ads or something?
I think are you just hanging out with us?
Okay. Maybe you're muted. Okay. We'll move on. If you guys want to jump in. I think
Brett reached out to me on a,
it mentioned something about Facebook ads, but we can get to that. Let me just see here. So we had,
yeah. So let's talk to Mary Alice. How are you doing?
I'm trying. I only saw Quincy a week ago tomorrow, so I'm trying to catch up, but I know-
You haven't, you don't have 10,000 people following you yet?
It's only been six days.
Anyway.
We're huge fans of Mary Alice because she, can you tell us about your channel and what you did?
Well, I started out with Pedro at 414 and I don't know how I landed there. I think it's very
scriptural, the blind leading the blind. But once I got there, the Lord started putting,
well first many years ago, and actually I was 49 then and the Lord called me to be a nanny.
That's where I found my gift. My heart fit with that. And so I would sit and write a lot.
And so at 414, the Lord put his finger on something that I'd written years ago.
And I knew he wanted me to make a video.
way out of my zone.
I would have never thought of that, but I did it.
And so what they were was directed toward tweenies
and they character traits, making choices,
grace, forgiveness, humility, and it all came out in rhyme.
So, you know, I didn't write it.
I just was the scribe.
And, but as I sat with each lesson,
he opened them up to a degree I couldn't imagine.
So somebody from 414 contacted me.
And so I don't know any of these tools.
She put them on a YouTube channel and then it just,
when the Lord talks to me, I would talk to people.
And so now I think he wants me to share my journey.
And what it would be titled is a journey to knowing God
from the inside out, that that's our source.
We saw everything from the inner man.
And I just want to help make it not complicated.
That's good.
And so I've been writing some for the podcast,
but I want to write more and get a feel of how,
oh, he wants it laid out so that I can lay it out well
for others, because one time I was at a service
where Norval Hayes was teaching.
And I left there feeling like he knew all this stuff,
but he served it up like a waiter.
He served it for people so they could reach it
and they could get it.
So that's what I want to do.
But all this tech stuff just gives me.
Yeah, you say that, but also you're still doing it
because you've done not just a few videos on YouTube.
How many videos do you know roughly?
Over 30 maybe.
That's awesome.
I don't look.
It's awesome.
But-
And you're quite young, right?
Lindsay says you don't like to use the OLD word.
It's not anywhere around me.
Why is that?
In April, I turned 80.
That's awesome.
I love it.
I think that's the coolest thing.
I remember we, Lindsay found your content a few months ago
and we were huge fans obviously of yours.
She saw it and she's like, this is the coolest thing ever.
Like she went and watched some of your videos
and she just was like so excited.
You didn't let the tech get in the way
of reaching people online, so.
So somebody has helped me with that.
And I really couldn't keep up with paying them.
But like now for YouTube,
I want to see she's gonna do the Zoom with me in November
and maybe I can be the administrator
and learn how to do that kind of thing.
Yeah, we'll help.
Yeah.
I did fill out a form.
Did you see it?
You did, yes.
I got it.
I have it here.
That's why I called on you
because I saw you needed some help with your podcast.
Here's the questions.
Since I already have Life Lessons for the Heart
Facebook page,
so would that be when I do a podcast,
would it automatically go to that?
When, oh, you're talking about on Anchor?
Yeah, if I put podcast on Anchor, then-
Yeah.
So what you can do,
what I would,
because you're just taking a video like on your iPhone.
Is that right?
I can do that.
Yeah, I can do it on my iPhone
and I know how to AirDrop and put it on my computer.
I'm a little better on the computer because it's bigger.
Yeah, the computer is definitely easier for most of this.
Yeah, so if you film a video on your phone,
and then what I would do is you can upload it to Facebook
like you're doing now.
I see on your Facebook page,
you've got a recent video there.
And so what you wanna do is go over to Anchor
and you can actually just upload the exact same video
that you have from your phone.
You can upload that to Anchor
and they will turn it into a podcast for you.
So you can give Anchor a video
and it will turn it into just an audio only thing.
And so you will have to take the same file
and upload it to Facebook.
and then that same file and upload it to Anchor as well.
And then technically you can also do it for YouTube,
but, and I will link, I'm gonna link you
to some videos for all of that
to help you out with that.
Let me find it.
I'm gonna hurry to get started
cause I want to get comfortable with the,
Yeah.
And the tools.
Yeah, if you're airdropping
and doing all the things you're doing,
you're like 90% of the way there.
It's the, actually uploading it to YouTube
or uploading it to Anchor is kind of the easy part.
We'll definitely help you.
On my YouTube,
I think the subtitle of great life lessons for the heart
and my name isn't there, but then subtitle.
Should I change the subtitle to our journey
to knowing God from the inside out?
I can, so I'm current with where he's targeting.
Yeah, I feel like, I feel like you could do that.
I think you said when you were explaining it
just a minute ago and you were telling us about it,
I feel like that really resonated
with people were saying like that, that sounded good.
I think people understand that really quickly.
So I think that's a good tagline to put on there.
Are you talking about on the big photo
with the flowers on your home, on your page?
Yeah.
Change the subtitle.
See somebody else created that for me.
We're gonna create one right now for you.
If I can share my screen, let's see, hang on.
I may not be able to, I don't wanna end the call.
Oh, that's not gonna be helpful at all.
Let's see.
Let me encourage other people
that are even further along than I,
but I have been working at this, okay,
in a very unsatisfying way.
Talk to your phone, goes up there
and then never hear from anybody.
And okay, I live alone.
I'm not lonely, but I do live alone.
So it's taken all the, do you know,
this is the first time somebody has shown an interest
in what I do.
So, you know, that's been like three years.
So, okay, it's God's timing.
That's awesome.
And I'm not whining.
I just wanna encourage people.
If it seems like things are not what they should be,
keep going.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
That's really cool.
Well, I'm glad you took the leap of faith
and just started sharing from your phone
just things that you had.
It's great.
I love it.
Thanks, Mary Alice, you're a champion.
Keep going.
Do you know why I keep going?
Because I absolutely know
that I have not lived my purpose yet.
I may be a late bloomer, but I still haven't lived it.
That's awesome.
I love it.
Very, very cool.
So I'm gonna, we're gonna make,
I'll make it for you real quick
and I'm gonna, I'll send it to you here
just so you can have it.
I feel so silly that I can't share my screen
since I'm the one supposed to be showing you guys
how to do all this stuff.
I was like, I should probably check the permissions
before I jump on this call and then I didn't do that.
So what I'll do is I'm going to just make one,
something quick in Canva for you.
And then let me just pull up.
So do you want to keep life lessons for the heart
is still the main?
That's great.
And then what was this tagline there?
I think instead of journeying,
it should be our journey.
That our journey to knowing God from the inside out.
Got it.
Okay.
We're gonna, we're almost there.
And I will use just something similar,
like maybe a flower picture like you've got.
Do you mind typing that in the chat?
Just exactly the word for it.
But did you see what I had in Anchor?
I had a logo that I created in Anchor.
Yes, let me see. I think I've got it here. Let me just jump, bring it back up.
I have to stand up to type.
Yes, this was one of the links you sent. Yeah, I see it here. So you had
Yeah, it just said Life Lessons for the Heart with Mary Alice was the main heading.
Not on Anchor.
Oh, sorry. On Facebook you're talking about?
Yeah, I was wondering, then, do I not use the logo that I created on Anchor?
And you had told me the reason it doesn't show up is because I haven't made one podcast.
Right. If you just go and create like your, just take any of your videos that you want to make your first one.
The good thing is no one knows you have a podcast yet.
So you can upload your first episode or your first podcast and just have it up there.
And then you can share it when you're ready to share it. No one will, no one's going to find it.
And it will just be content that you already have.
So you could even go back and upload the previous videos that you have as well.
I'll have to learn how to do that. But the person that did load them for me, she will teach me.
Okay. Yeah. And I can, I will show you as well.
Okay.
I'm putting a link into Zoom that will walk you through like how to.
I'm copying all the links that you sent and putting them on a page.
That's great.
And I will, let me just make sure you're in that group as well.
I'd like feedback from some of you folks sitting here because my heart goes out to two kinds of people.
People that might look at someone and say, oh, they have a deep walk with God and they kind of cancel themselves out.
Like, but not them.
And because we're told abide in Christ, walk in the spirit.
But are we told how to find that place and how to live from there. That's what I'm trying to do. Does that make sense. Do you think people are hungry for that.
Yes.
It's so necessary to know how, how to do something versus just being told. I love it.
Definitely. Definitely. I agree.
It needs to be taken from information and quoting to a reality to an experience.
Awesome. I love it.
You should record this.
You can be my auntie from Australia, Mary Ellis.
And I'll be Bruce and Lindsay's nanny if they need one.
Maybe that's how I can repay you.
That's great. We're just happy that I love that you've already started. Right. And so we'll, we'll help you with the tech.
And just, you know, we can hop on every Tuesday, Thursday, we'll be on here. Happy to answer any questions you have.
But there's yeah there's that one link there I did. I just friended you on Facebook and then I'll make sure that you have access to that, that video that I just posted just to make sure you're in the right group.
And I see Amy's got her hand as well. So let me, if we can jump over to you, Amy, just a quick question there.
I can't see.
Okay, it's a quick one.
Okay, so I finally got my Instagram. I got a video posted today.
And, and my episode that I loaded up yesterday.
I also did not do it from the YouTube link, you know, which is what I've done up to now and I'm on episode nine.
So my question is, one thing I did on Facebook
was like repost my episode one a day or two
ahead of yesterday, what I put up.
So how do I go about getting the rest of those episodes up
without just like, you know, pounding it?
What's a reasonable way to do that?
Yeah, and this is, so you have all your episodes,
you're trying to like basically batch upload them,
but not completely overwhelm everybody
with like 10 videos at once.
Yeah, I would, so yeah, spacing them out even one day
at a time, like do one on Monday, one on Tuesday,
one on Wednesday is even better than all together.
And these are ones that you've done over the last few weeks
or for the last few months, I suppose.
Well, I just, I launched on September 1st
and so I've done one a week for nine weeks.
Awesome, and these aren't on your Facebook page yet,
or is this for your-
They are on my Facebook page,
which is not getting any kind of credit or any ratings
because I've just posted them straight from,
it's just sent people straight to YouTube.
I see, okay, so if that's the case,
and do you have how many followers
or do you have like a good size audience
on Facebook, your page?
Not really, I mean, if you look at my dashboard,
you'll see that I'm not giving,
I may have some credit now because I have two videos up now.
Let me take a look.
So if you have, I'll pull it up real quick.
YouTube is my biggest following.
You have over a hundred on YouTube, so that's awesome
because that's like the hardest thing to do
is break a hundred followers.
So I'm not sure if it's the dashboard's not showing it,
but it's just showing zero for Facebook.
Right, yeah, because of that.
I mean, I think I told y'all about that.
We talked about it.
Yeah, so, I mean, if it's kind of a newer page
and there's not a lot of people,
like hundreds or thousands of people on it,
I would just go ahead and batch them all
in one like afternoon.
Just put them all up there and tag them.
And that way what happens, because what you can do,
and this is actually what I would do for you is like,
I would put all nine episodes up this week
and then don't try and space them out necessarily.
And then what you can do is use the kind of the Facebook ad
strategy we did on Tuesday
and just pick like the most recent one that you did,
let's say last week, and you can run it as a promotion,
not a promotion, but like a kind of boost it
and put it into other people's feeds
using the tutorial we went through.
And that will just get,
because what will happen is people will go to your page
and then they can see, oh, there's not just one video,
there's eight other videos.
And that's just so much better than seeing nothing,
or just seeing one video.
So I would kind of just use it.
You've got the content,
go ahead and just like preload it all in there
and then just start doing,
just start releasing them as you create them.
So as you upload them to YouTube,
just also upload them to Facebook
and schedule them to go out kind of at the same time.
Right, and on Instagram, same thing.
And on Instagram, yeah.
And I do have more followers.
I hadn't posted anything but my, just my logo.
And I had like, I don't know,
I mean, like quite a few on Instagram,
people mostly that know me, but anyway.
So, and I just put that up today,
so I don't probably have any data on that.
Okay, yeah.
And you could do the same thing on Instagram,
just like load them all in.
And it is, I've seen a lot of people do that,
but it's just to get kind of the back, get caught up.
And that way it's easier to keep moving at that point forward.
That helps me, yeah.
Yeah, it also just,
you're kind of always going to be out of sync
and then you're going to want to post next week's video
and then maybe you haven't posted them all yet.
So it's just, then they're out of order.
Yeah.
It just gets complicated, but cool.
Okay, thank you.
Good.
And did you feel good about uploading the video
and scheduling it on Facebook and all that?
Well, I just wasn't able to do that until,
so I didn't even get to schedule it.
No problem.
Oh, anyway.
Is there a place you can send me for tagging for that?
I didn't do that.
Yeah, let me, here we go.
So, and I think for Mary Alice as well,
who was asking about how to upload
to Facebook or Instagram, we have this one.
I'm sorry, the link I dropped above for Mary Alice
was for YouTube, uploading to YouTube.
And then this one is basically uploading
to Facebook and Instagram.
And so, and that would be for you as well, Amy,
if you wanna just take a look at using Creator Studio
to set that up.
And it's actually very easy to do all,
like especially even upload all eight,
nine videos in one batch, pretty quick to do that.
Cool.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah, awesome.
Well, good, and I was gonna say something else
for your thing.
What?
Can I, I think I started making Mary Alice a cover photo
and then I didn't finish it,
but did you mind just telling me one more time
what that tagline was?
She's muted.
Oh, are you muted?
There you go.
Okay.
There you go.
Our journey to knowing God from the inside out.
Knowing God from the inside out.
Okay, I think that's great.
And this is something you can do in Canva.
And so what I'm gonna do is I've started it for you.
And then I can actually just share this.
I'm gonna put this link in the description.
I've done a lot of Canva.
Okay, great.
I feel like you said a lot about all the things
you didn't know how to do at the beginning of this call.
And as we've talked,
you just keep saying more things that you know how to do.
So.
What I'm thinking in Canva,
in fact, someday I'll make a little booklet out of them,
but they're graphics of just one-liners
that God has given me.
I love it.
And so I can throw those up occasionally.
Scatter them.
That's awesome.
And are you putting those on Instagram?
I have a thing on Instagram,
but I didn't know how to use it.
Okay.
I have over 60 of them on Facebook.
Okay, that's great.
Yeah, and you can,
that kind of visual content,
where it's just like a quote or-
Graphic will be great.
I know we talk 99% of the time about video
with everybody here,
but if you do wanna do just a graphic of a quote,
it's a great way to,
like if you're gonna do a new episode on Monday
with a video,
Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday later in the week,
you could do just a graphic with just like a one-liner
from that week's episode,
or just something that you feel led to share.
But yeah, if you have those graphics
and the video that I posted above to watch the,
and these are all on the Kingdom Messenger YouTube channel.
It'll show you how to upload videos
and schedule them in Facebook,
and then also how to do Instagram.
And you can actually schedule the posts
inside the same place where you do the videos.
The pictures are gonna be right there as well, so.
I'll catch on only because I'm determined to.
That's the gold right there.
It's just how motivated you are.
And so the long link I just dropped is,
I just started your,
since you know Canva,
if you click on this link,
it should just let you open it
and you can just keep editing what I started to work.
I just put the title in there and put a photo,
and it is the right size for your Facebook cover photo.
So if you wanna change it at all or change the photo
and then just export it and add it to Facebook there.
I think that was so willing to help me.
I think she's the administrator,
so I have to have her release that to me.
So, I'm happy to wait several weeks
until I really feel like I have a lot of this under my belt
so that I can just have the joy of sharing.
It gets easier.
The more you do it and then it does,
you focus more on just the sharing
and less about all the little technical things
that have to happen.
And then you just,
and then it gets fun because you're just.
thinking about the content and what you want to share with your audience and you don't have to
worry about all the kind of the nuts and bolts of it. So but it's good. I think you're you're on
your way there. So glad we can help. Thank you. Awesome guys. Cool. Is there anything else that
did we get to everybody's questions? Anyone who was on here? I see Rebecca's on here as well.
Okay cool. No one has anything. I just want to make sure if you waited an hour
and we didn't get you. I definitely want to make sure we did.
Yes. Same for.
Is it? Yeah. Reba James. You were saying you were uploading to YouTube once a link
once a week but not to Facebook. So you can release them and you can definitely go back and
just read like we're talking with Amy. Like just go back and release everything you've got so far
just so they're everything's in sync. And then just that from that point on just to keep going.
So it just helps like I think for me like I like it when I go to each platform and one's not ahead
of the other. That makes sense. Like they're all sort of the same thing. They're kind of all in
sync. That way people know like oh okay I'm on YouTube more often. So I'll just follow this
person on YouTube and that way I won't miss anything. Instead of having to like I wonder
what this person's posting on you know YouTube and then what I want they're doing on Facebook
and then what on Instagram. If it's all kind of the same it does just. Yeah. Bruce I guess
I had a question on if the YouTube platform was more powerful. Like maybe I shouldn't put
everything on there but drive to the YouTube. But now I'm understanding you're saying put it
everywhere. Get this message to go everywhere. And so I will need to go ahead and do a batch
upload. We only have I only have four. I'll have five this weekend. That's great. Yeah. But I did
do and I like posting the scripture verses as stills in Facebook. Is there a way to do that
as well in YouTube? There is once you get over a certain number of subscribers. And so you can
create a post in YouTube which is just an image with some text underneath it. But I don't think
they let you do that until you get it. I don't know what the exact number is. I don't know if
it's a hundred. I don't think it's a thousand. But it's it's it's one of those break points. But
they'll let you just upload a picture and then do that. I will just say is in general the only
reason we don't encourage you to take do a post and share like just the YouTube post there is
because Facebook and YouTube are competitors again. So Facebook does not like it when people
leave their platform. Right. Fun tech news as well. Facebook's no longer going to be called
Facebook. Did anybody see this? It's now going to be meta. M-E-T-A. Yeah. So that would go on a whole
rabbit trail there. But anyway we'll unpack that on another another time. But I think they may keep
the platform so-called Facebook because I don't it'd be weird to say hey check out my meta Facebook
private group or something. I don't know. It's going to be weird. But Facebook doesn't like
YouTube and they don't like it when people go from Facebook and leave Facebook and then go over
and start watching something on YouTube. So when you share a link Facebook may push that down in
the algorithm and not show that post to as many people because they don't like the fact that
you're linking out to an external site. So the better thing to do is to upload that video the
original video to Facebook directly. Let people watch it on Facebook and then slowly you can also
kind of move people over into YouTube as well with ads or just every now and again linking to it.
So what you'll see what we do which I think works fairly well with Lindsay's is Monday we
upload the video on Facebook and that gets the most amount of views and engagement. And then on
Wednesday we have someone go in and just repost the YouTube link on Facebook. So exactly what I
said not to do we do that on Wednesday but it's after we've done the original video on Monday.
So then we do get a few people and it's just kind of like a hey in case you missed it
here's the post on on YouTube. Go check it out. And we do get a lot of clicks and people will
then share it again. Sometimes they missed it on Monday now they see it again on Tuesday
or sorry Wednesday. So you can definitely try that and help kind of filter people over.
to YouTube. But each platform has its strengths and weaknesses. And so YouTube is the best
long-term archiving platform, just because it's so well organized. So you can put content there
that may be a few years old, and it may be still top of the list, and people still watching it.
Whereas Facebook and Instagram are very much like, you see what's been posted the last day,
maybe, or maybe the last day or two. And if you missed it, you really can't go back and find it.
Again, it's just lost. But then again, Facebook and Instagram, it's so easy to get your Facebook
audience very large, or Instagram for that matter, just because there's so many people on there.
And so you can get a very big audience, but then your YouTube, you can kind of
use all the platforms, right? Use all the events from all the platforms. And that's why...
Yeah, go ahead.
When you have a person then that also pulls from your episode for TikTok, how do you,
if on Wednesdays, then you go to YouTube, or you reshare for YouTube, do you
selecting the soundbites for TikTok? Is that a whole separate person?
So the same person does TikTok Instagram Reels, which is very similar to TikTok,
and then YouTube Shorts, which is very similar to TikTok. So TikTok came out, and then all the
other platforms copied it. And so now, so that's what Reels, and it's just the same exact thing,
just on someone else's platform. And now here's the magic with it. And again, this is something
we would help you with in like day 60 to 90. You can absolutely go watch the video I posted there
from Isaac, if you guys want to jump in and start doing it. But-
That's good, I thought I was behind.
No, you're fine. No, it's good. Lee and Brendan just decided to get after it and-
Yeah, I did my research yesterday, and I have an understanding.
Yeah. And so the powerful thing is because on YouTube, what they're calling YouTube Shorts,
which is the same short form portrait kind of tall video, just like TikTok, just like Instagram
Reels, because it's relatively new on YouTube. When you post Shorts on YouTube, you will get
way more views than your regular episodes. So it's because they're trying to get people to
use it more and more and more and get sort of addicted to the Shorts on YouTube. So when you
start using, they're like, oh, cool, this content creator is using our new feature,
boost their stuff. And so YouTube will actually help promote your content for free,
just because you're helping lean into some of their new features.
So it is another layer of work. That's why we start with just creating one episode,
one piece of content that's three minutes to 10 minutes or something around there,
and uploading it to Facebook, YouTube and Instagram TV, because you can take the same
file and upload it to those three. Oh, and Anchor. So those are your four platforms they go to.
And then the Instagram Reels, TikTok and Shorts are kind of a different file, right? They're going
to be less than 60 seconds. They're going to be clips. And so it's just another layer of work. So
I would encourage you if you're getting ahead where you already have your episode recorded and
scheduled for next week, and then you've got the next week kind of figured out,
instead of going to like two episodes a week, I would start adding in the Shorts and the Reels,
the short form stuff as like your other posts. But yeah, so I think that was a very long
answer to your short question, which was like, does someone post that? Yeah. So someone will
just pull the episode. It's not even, and this is the thing that we didn't overthink it and say,
oh, well, we want to take Monday's episode and then share four clips on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday for that Monday episode. We just let, we just gave them, hey, here's all 186
episodes, like knock yourself out, like find cool clips and post them. And so they're just
constantly just searching through. I think they may even be a season behind last time I checked
as far as what goes out on the Reels. And we don't check them at all before they go out.
So someone, I was talking to someone yesterday about this, but this is Isaac Holt, who did the
training here, is the one who helped us with it. And he's just doing it for us because he's a good
friend of ours. And I wouldn't say, I wouldn't trust just anyone with it, especially like.
know, cause there's a lot of services that will do this for you and cut stuff up for you. Um,
it's hard if they're not a believer, right. So just to try and like capture that essence or
something right on something. So then of course I would definitely want to prove it, but, um,
it is a lot easier than you think. If I would definitely watch the video, if you're interested,
um, um, in the shorts, it's about an hour and 20 minutes, but everything's done on your phone.
So what I do is instead of just kind of aimlessly scrolling through, um, TikTok,
or being a consumer, like if I've got a minute, I'm just kind of having some downtime. I'll just
open TikTok and actually just go ahead and post that clip because you can make the clip, you can
edit it, you can add the subtitle, all that happens inside the TikTok app. Um, and so,
and then same thing for reels, same thing for shorts. Like they have all the tools right there
in the app on your phone. Um, so if you have downtime and we all have our phones with us,
instead of, you know, you can be a little more productive and just actually go ahead and clip,
clip it up at some point, or just, and a lot of times we'll go ahead and just clip, you know,
four or five clips together and then just have them on our phone ready to go. And then just
share it on Monday, share it on Tuesday. Um, it's that kind of concept. And I think this is
such a great help to you guys and Mary Alice, your energy is so great. Like, I love your passion
for the Lord and just encouraging the body, because I think that's where I've had a couple
of comments that are like, Oh yeah, God said that that wasn't in the script. And that gives you the
like, okay, go to that and share that bit as a short. So that, you know, be watching for your
comments when somebody says that really struck me. Okay. Well, I know I should share that.
Great. Yeah. Just, I mean, it's all about like, and we're bringing kingdom messenger. We're not
just kind of content creators and influencers. We're kingdom messengers. So we're bringing
kingdom and bringing a message to people. So engaging with your audience, looking at comments,
asking questions, getting feedback because we'll, people will bring out, Oh, I love what you said
about this scripture. I love when you said this phrase and then you could go, Oh, let me go back
to that phrase. And I'll just make a little clip from that and post it again. And just see what's
working. Yeah. I've been struggling a little bit with this stretching into you concept because
I intended for it to be like, I need accountability for the set time. And I know that when I was
meeting with other ladies and we were physically stretching and praying and encountering Christ
together face to face or through a zoom while during lockdown, that's how that whole thing came
to be. But then when I started doing it with you guys, I got all like official with it and like,
got my Bible out. And like, after that first one, like, okay. And I went into like teacher mode
though. And I, so I'm, I'm almost feeling like maybe this needs to be just a pilot run.
Do a first season pilot and then go back into the real. I just want to make sure that people
are encountering him. And like Mary Alice, you said that same thing. That's the most important
part is that we would meet him. I don't want to get, you know, the teaching is just a catapult.
It's not supposed to be, you know, so I don't know if I need to rework the whole format.
Hmm. So that's why I've been hesitant to go further with hosting.
To help with that. My generally, my advice is don't be hesitant ever. Lindsay may say otherwise,
but generally like what I would do is just weird. Let me say this. I would say like,
be share your message in the format and the style that you want to share it because
like you're uniquely gifted in a certain things, a certain way. So bringing in as much of what
makes you, you into that content, into the way you present the content. Cause when you're talking
about, I mean, doing the stretching thing and doing it, making it more like interactive stuff,
like that sounded really interesting to me. And so that's why, as soon as you said that,
I was like, well, why are you sitting at a table and looking, why is it like in this
you guys really helped pull, rip the bandaid off and seeing that. Okay. Well it could fit
right now. I could do it this way because otherwise I have to get like a mic on person.
Mike, I would do it outside, but that's not a good environment. And now it's rainy season and cold.
So I don't know, like I couldn't wrap my mind around the production part of how to do it the
other way. Yeah. It's probably like a $20 mic though. And you can get a little Bluetooth mic.
I have a home studio, so I know you guys don't.
have any excuses, I was wasn't going to say it, but yeah, you
mentioned that you guys have all the things you need. But even if
it wasn't there, like a little Bluetooth mic that just plugs
into the bottom of your phone. And then also, you just clip on
your it's wireless, you just clip it on, you put your phone
wherever you want. And it will just, it'll work great. There's
some if you just look on Amazon, and I can recommend some if you
want, but
that's it. Brett got a Rhodes.
Yeah, that would be great. I know, you guys know, mics and
all that. So but but also I say, like, I would figure out that
would be worth like, we worked with Denise here to help figure
out the teleprompter, right? Because I was like her style,
she's going to want to use a teleprompter, you guys need to
figure out the mic and the sort of the set of how you do it. And
in the beginning, like experiment as much as you can
with it, like, there's not a lot of people following you. So if
you did one episode that's just in this different style, and
then another one that's in a different style, it's totally
fine, because you're just figuring out what works, I would
say, keep doing what you're doing. If all of a sudden you
posted it and went viral, and there's 10s of 1000s of views on
this one video, then like, yeah, do that, whatever you did there,
like do that again. But until you have that kind of success,
like just keep experimenting with it. And people give you
feedback, right? You may do something that's like, oh, this
is kind of quirky or funny. People like, oh, that's the
coolest thing, like, you know, now, so then they start
commenting. And you just don't know what is you can expect the
quirk for me.
Great.
Thank you, Bruce.
No problem. Yeah, good luck. That's awesome.
Okay, so I don't need a Yeti, Mike.
No, you're
telling me what I can get.
What you're doing is great. I thought looking at your link,
your Facebook link that you had. You're just using your phone,
and you're just talking directly to your phone. I mean, that
that's fine. Is there something you didn't like about how it
sounded? Or?
No, I just thought I was supposed to do better.
Nah. The, like, there's things you can do to improve it. The
phone, the quality of the mic and the camera on your phone is
just phenomenal. These days. And so if it was so distracting,
that like, we can't hear the words you're saying, you know,
then yeah, let's try and find a better, a better solution. But
people can hear it, and it's clear, and they can see you and
it's well lit. And it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just
well lit. That's really all you need. Then the rest is just
coming up with really good content that helps people and
keeps them coming back to help them more and more with with
some topic. So but yeah, definitely don't need a specific
camera or mic or any of that to get get to keep producing stuff.
So every time you add a piece of equipment, it makes it like more
complicated to go and sit down and record. So cool. I know we
went a little over our hour, but hopefully this was helpful for
some people. Thank you. Awesome. Cool. We'll be back on Tuesday.
We're still traveling all through next week, but we will
be back on Tuesday, as our usual two o'clock. And thanks for
hanging out with us. This is great. Appreciate you guys
pulling out the form and using all that that's that's really
cover a lot of ground in short amount of time. So awesome. Have
a great weekend. We'll see you guys. Thank you.
