Well, I appreciate you jumping on today and shining on the camera as you always do.
Are you going to get your episode up?
I'm recording hopefully after this. I'll be more transparent than I probably was with my audience
just because they don't really need all the details, but I did record an episode and I just
didn't feel peace about it. I had it ready to go. We actually were traveling this weekend,
so I got it done early. I was about to just edit it and publish it and not to ask Lindsay,
and then I just had a clarifying question. She was like, oh, I'm actually not posting that.
Yeah, so I'm practicing making all of my decisions in peace, not out of angst. Do I post or not
post? I just didn't have a peace about it, and instead of letting that torment me,
I just made the decision to delay. Interestingly enough, when I was writing the message to my
audience saying, hey, there's been some technical difficulties, it'll come out,
I was going to say tomorrow, which would have been Tuesday, but something just made me say,
just leave it a little open-ended, Tuesday or Wednesday. Yesterday as I was making dinner,
our water went out. Our whole neighborhood lost water, so we ended up having to pack up
our little girl and us, and we went and stayed at Bruce's parents' house last night,
so I couldn't record. I'm glad that I just even left it a little open-ended.
Mercies are new every morning, but there's times when we have to just give ourselves
permission to give grace for ourselves and realize everyone's going to be okay if it
doesn't come out on Monday. It was a little bit discouraging for me because I just started a new
season, so I had messages from people like, can't wait for the next episode, and it's coming,
it just didn't come on Monday, and that's okay. Well, you don't really know how anointed that was
for not just for me, but to lead out that way in peace. I mean, there's some power with that.
Yeah, we have to model it, right? That's what I was feeling for my audience as well,
because I'm sure maybe we're starting the week and expectations were already blown,
and it wasn't quite Monday yet, and so you just want to model that, because I used to be very
hard on myself when something like that happened, and now there's just a lot of freedom for me
to just be honest and say, and that's, you know, I try to as much as I can,
and it doesn't have to be all the details, but just communicate with my audience so they know
what to expect, and they, you know, they're very gracious. I think they always are very
thankful that they know, you know, like they're being communicated with,
because it makes them feel a part of the process, not just like I'm speaking at them,
but I'm including them in the process as well, so. Yeah, yeah, well, we will all look forward to it,
but I really did. I wanted to, I just, I didn't have time yesterday to comment and say,
way to lead out. Well, thank you for letting me know that, Amy. But it is, it's powerful,
and not just for me, that was before my thing happened yesterday, and anyway.
That's good. That's awesome. I'm so glad, and we're gonna jump right into Ben. Yeah,
so Ben filled out, you were the first in the queue, needing help getting unstuck and needing
some help with your Facebook ads. Yeah, we have four or five people have also filled out some
stuff, but we'll let them come in as well, just so, but we, yeah, you had some questions about
Facebook ads. Yeah, thanks so much for having me here. That's really great, and good to see you.
So, the first time I filled it out, I wasn't quite sure, because there were five categories on the
top, right? There was Facebook, but I couldn't pick that one in the form, so I said I want to
get unstuck, right, which is, which is the outcome, the ultimate outcome, right? Facebook is just the
kind of a step towards that, so. I'm gonna fix that right now. And we had that conversation,
right, under a little bit on that Facebook live that you did with Amber back then, because I
still, I guess, I still don't get it with this audience, this custom and look-alike audiences, and
it seems like, at least hindsight-looking, that Facebook had a little bug, because I couldn't
create a look-alike audience in the process, so I had to do it kind of in a two-step way,
and then I could do it, but there might be, you know, things that I just don't know and
not fully understand. I'm not sure if you're even ever going to understand fully Facebook.
Facebook ads is extremely complicated. I feel like I know about 10% of it, and...
You learn a lot by doing it, I've found, with Facebook ads.
Yeah, my goal, even though, is someone to outsource this to somebody who really
understands it, but that's a little bit down the road.
Look, I will tell you that every, this, that's a good question, I'll just mention that, and then
you can share your story.
screen and we'll take a look at it in a second.
But I would just say as well, when it comes to Facebook ads,
a lot of people feel that and we've worked with some kingdom messengers.
Even when we worked,
we worked with Graham cook and others who have been doing this for decades and
that, you know, their first thing was let's go get, you know, out, outsource it,
let's get the experts to come in. We'll just pay them to do it right. And so,
but inevitably it's such a close thing about how you market and promote your own
brand. Like they've even pulled that inside, like internally,
they hired an outside agency for a while, like a really expert agency.
And, um, and they brought it back in house and a lot of people,
cause you just want that extra control because you are essentially taking your
message.
You're talking about being a kingdom messenger and you're pushing it out into
new audience. So it is,
it just works better when it's coming either from you or even if you had people
working for you, just be part of your team. But so it's, it's definitely good.
We run all of our own Facebook ads. You know,
I'll ask for help on this few things just to get some of the nuances with some
of my friends who are way better at it. Um, anyway,
it's worth taking time,
especially doing what you're doing here just to help boost and get some more,
uh, eyeballs like on your content. It's definitely,
those are pretty simple tactics and definitely good to use. But yeah,
if you want to jump over to Facebook, we can take a look.
Yeah. So, so this is my Facebook page.
And maybe the first thing I would like you to have an eye on is when,
when I go here to the ad center from here, right. All ads.
Yeah.
Then I get this, this page, which I had been running some ads,
some when, right. Um, and now I'm boosting one.
Okay. If you go to the bottom of this page, um, there's like a actual there,
if you say like,
sure. Yeah. I have it open already here. Okay, cool. Okay.
So this is still not the right, if you go to more tools and yeah,
and then adds me, there we go. Oh, I had it open here. Anyway, doesn't matter.
Cool. Cool.
But I guess that I must have unintentionally created a couple ad
accounts. Okay. That was confused.
It's this kind of confusing in the first place, right? I know that I have this
one, which I have deactivated. Um, and sorry about my voice.
I just have a little bit of cold. So,
so that's one I have used one and I have deactivated. I can't delete it.
Yeah.
But it seems like that I have another one floating around.
Okay. And just whichever one you have, you could,
so this one doesn't have anything in it. Um, you can go ahead and we'll just keep
track of that. It says it ends in. So the one that you say is working is the,
that's this one here. Yeah. So nine, six,
three, seven, we'll just keep an eye on that. Um, so you've got,
um, so do you want to create a, do you wanna try to do the lookalike first?
So, so I did that, right. Um, um,
so that a new attempt, right.
So what I try to do is I try to save my audiences and that worked right from,
from some of the posts that I did, like, um,
this one here, I saved it,
but I'm not really sure what I can do with it.
Well, yeah. So that's just, if you wanted to run it, um,
it's a good starting, like,
so you kind of can do that initially just to get people to, um,
just to be in front of the right people,
a much more targeted approach would then to go and look at everybody who engaged
with the ads where you ran that. And then we can create,
that's where we could create a lookalike audience from the engaged.
So it looks like you've got some, like an engaged audience there,
which this has 4,100. So that's pretty good. Um,
Yeah, I, I, I did that and I don't know what, what to do with it.
Kind of, if that's okay, if I could build one with you together right now,
that's we have time for that. That would be awesome.
So yeah, if you click create audience and hit lookalike.
I start with custom or with lookalike.
Well, so, um, I think we should use this. Um,
and what you can do is to do is check that little box that's there. Um,
and then I think from here you can create, I think, is it this, like this one,
I think has an option to create a lookalike, uh, create lookalike there.
So what this does is it takes that 4,100 engaged and then where you could,
Could we take one step back, Bruce? Cause I, I, that's just not, if I,
if I'm doing the right thing, I want to create a new one, right.
I would go here to create lookalike audience.
Well, so custom. Custom first. Yeah.
Yeah. So then you would say, um, yeah, that's fine.
And then you can say anyone who's engaged with the page or.
I would add right with my poster ad poster ad. Yeah. Yeah. So then I would give just give a test.
Yeah.
Team just to give it a data. Come on.
And
So this will go and create a custom audience for so it's already saying it's been created. But then it's asking you immediately Do you want to go do a look alike so I would just close this because basically what you already did this step so that's why I
skipped it.
So, so that's how you would do it again.
Okay, so I would create a lookalike.
Yeah.
So now I can pick a name here right, I, and I say I want to create basically pick my my custom audience here.
It doesn't show up here. Yeah. Can you start typing like test.
Try and search for it now. So that's where that's where I think there's a little bit of a bug so that's why if you close that.
I would do it a different way. So let's like, check the box here for that one.
So it's, it's basically pre selecting it and then clicking three dots and saying create a lookalike it basically fills it for you.
And then you can set. So this will be like, you could name this like your.
Let's say you do look alike in Germany, or look alike in the US, this is where you can pick like you, I think you can only pick one country here I would just do one country at a time.
I could pick a couple countries.
But then I got an error at some point of time after I think five or so.
So let's get to just one. And then what you can do is name it like, you know, on the next screen I think there's a place.
Actually, if you click off over here. Okay, I guess it doesn't let you name it.
But you see I did a mistake now, it names it for you so you see there, so there's like lookalike us 1% so now we know this is us and this was, and you can see what the original audience was building off of was that one there.
So, now you could do this, they could click back on this one, and just repeat that process and do one for Germany, or one for Philippines or whatever.
Yeah, it's just that little, like, you would have.
You would think you could just click on the drop down and just choose the audience you want. If you went to create audience and did it the way.
But, um,
I would even call this one like, you know, Europe or something, and then do a few.
So I know you got.
Would you separate it per country.
Generally we would just have a different ad set for each country to see which ones are working.
So if you look at the audience you see there's like 43, 439,000. So, if this was like 20,000 I would probably add a few countries to it you just want this to be over 100, and less generally.
Okay.
Then what you could do is go and, you know, create a new set of ads to go like the page with your content, and then you could run it to these audiences which should be a very warm or very very targeted audience because you've built it off people who already
are engaging with your content.
So this would be.
And I did run it to the Philippines, which was insanely cheap right. It is yeah it's always going to be insane.
I did run it here on this one I'm not exactly sure where I targeted that to can remember, even though I did it yesterday.
Yeah, us, right.
I couldn't get it down further. Okay.
And that's fine. So what you could do. I would create like a like campaign to get more likes to your to get followers to your page.
And you can do that by going here to create.
We'll just make a new one, kind of walk through that.
You can do engagement and then here you choose page likes Yeah, this is what you did. The other one.
Yeah, that's continue. Yeah, that's good.
And then what you would do is basically attach like this ad set here to that US look alike.
And then you would create a new ad set and go to Germany slash Switzerland, a new ad set.
So I would name this like, like LLA for like lookalike and then just like US or something
or whatever you want to call it, this is just, you know, US.
And then down here, you would go down, when you get to the audience, you would just choose
that lookalike audience we just made here, I think it's under custom.
Yeah, so if you, I think if you just click on this, it should let you either lookalike
or US, everybody engage with my ad, that top one, or that one, yeah, either one, they're
both the same.
So that's all you have to do here, you don't want to add any more to this.
And then you would put your, I would recommend like a video ad there, or not a video ad,
just an episode of your content there.
So and just for context, everybody's watching this and like, what on earth is this thing
I've never seen in my life, like, this is just doing Facebook ads, which is kind of
the second, we typically do that in like the second month of the 90 days.
And this is how you'll kind of blow up your channel to over 1000 in like a week.
So it's very, very easy to do.
It's just like, it's just, we use a very complex tool called Facebook ads to do it.
But we have some very simplified ways.
So there's lots of training on it.
And we'll spend a lot of time helping you guys.
But yeah, I would, what I found works best is when you're over here, I would do like
a, an episode of your content.
And just ask another question before I go over there.
Bruce.
Yeah, it's picked automatically Germany.
That's by default, I guess, right?
You can just wouldn't do so right?
Yeah, you would just want to change it to worldwide.
That's a good question.
Well, because think about it, like, this is only going to be us.
And then if you said, but only show it to people in Germany, it's going to say, well,
there's no one who lives in Germany who lives in the US that may, you know, it's kind of
it basically would cancel each other out.
So on this one here, you can say worldwide.
Oh, I wouldn't say us here.
No.
It's just because it's already, you're already trimming it back here.
I mean, you could, it wouldn't really make a difference.
And then there's a thing called worldwide region, that one that's the top.
Yeah.
Okay.
And would you limit the age down here?
Any of that you can leave just wide open.
I would just leave it.
Oh, and then same for detailed targeting.
You don't have to do any of that because it's already people who like your stuff.
So they're the, you know, maybe believers or whatever interest business people that
you have and that's it.
So that's, this is kind of done.
Why wouldn't you kind of limited here on my tests on the Philippines?
I reduced, I was looking, you know, who engaged the most with my posts just by the age.
And then I limited to that.
Is that wrong?
So like, this is a lookalike campaign.
So what you're trying to do is go get more people that already like your stuff to like,
to find more people like that.
So it's just a way to sort of, it just pours fuel on the fire.
It doesn't really like custom.
You don't really customize it at all.
It's kind of already doing the customization.
Okay.
If you were going to start a new audience and like, want to start from scratch, then
I would like put all the interest in, I wouldn't use a lookalike and I would, you know.
So the one thing is just to keep saying, like remove connections from targeting.
So I think that if you go, if you click back into this second, this ad set level, just
scroll down, there was a, like a thing that said convert here.
Yeah.
Just hit convert.
What does that mean?
I don't know why that is bothering you like that.
Cause you just created it.
And so.
That reaches 10 people.
That's awesome.
But they're going to be the right 10 people.
I don't know.
If you scroll up, let's take a look at the audience again to see if it changed it.
Okay.
So it's excluding people who already like your page.
That's all it's doing.
Lookalike audience.
It may just be because that's still building.
This isn't very accurate.
Yeah.
And us is going to be a little more scarce than going other places, but.
Yeah.
At this level, you could just add your, one of your episodes and then let it go.
Yeah.
Okay.
I can do that by myself, I guess.
Thank you so much.
Helped a lot.
Yeah.
And this is great.
See, it kind of filled out your, your text from your page.
So that's.
probably some, that's probably pretty good copy
to use for the ad.
Yeah, I'll change the picture here
because that's not up to date.
Okay.
Yeah, thank you.
Run it and then take a screenshot
and post it in the group.
Let us know how it's doing.
I can give you more comments and feedback.
Yeah, thank you.
Really appreciate your help.
Awesome, yeah, good luck.
Look.
Thank you.
Cool.
So let me just,
I know we have Abigail and then.
She's not on today.
And then Walter, so.
But yeah, anyone else?
And Denise, Denise Head.
That was from, we already finished those.
Oh, oh, you're right, sorry.
I'm handling it the wrong way.
We did that last week.
So sorry.
But Denise can have another question.
But she can have another question.
Okay, so there's no one else in the queue.
So who, we've got online.
Do you guys have any questions
or need any help processing anything
or give us an update on where you're at right now?
Or we'll just start picking on people.
I see Denise's hand.
You guys are gonna get a reward
for perseverance with me, I'll tell you.
I think that, I don't know if it's warfare or what,
but as we start to do these podcasts,
just seems like a lot's going on with people.
So I, we had a crazy weekend.
We had a drive-by shooting
and in a neighborhood that's never had anything,
the condo next door and all this stuff happened.
And my cat almost died.
And anyway, it's been a crazy weekend.
And all the time we set aside to work on this
was eaten up by all of that.
And so, but we did get a little work done
and tried to get the teleprompter from last week.
You guys had walked me through how to do that.
And what happened is we couldn't sync the two devices.
We did everything we could.
So we downloaded the teleprompter on the iPad
and then on the iPhone.
And on my Mac.
And we tried to sync them
because they won't work until you sync them.
And we couldn't sync them.
Were both devices on the same Wi-Fi connection?
Yeah.
We checked that.
It wasn't showing up on the right column there.
I can see it.
I can pull it up.
We'll pull it up and see if you were seeing what we see.
So like, if you went to screens here,
you're saying it didn't show up in this list on the right.
It kept that little wheel kept going around
and see where it says,
ensure the teleprompter or Mac is open on the other device.
Right.
And then it kept searching and searching and searching
and it never connected.
I didn't see the thing on the right.
But okay.
So maybe what the problem was
is I had a hard time downloading it.
My Mac.
I don't think I ever got it downloaded on my Mac.
I think I just did it on my iPad.
Yeah.
So if you get the app will be on your,
there's a desktop app for like your Mac.
So you'd have it on your Mac
and then you'd have the another app
and you don't have to pay twice, right?
It's just the same account.
It should be the same.
So you would just sign into the same account
like on your Mac, on your iPad.
And then it would, it should sync in that.
We'll show you what it would.
Yeah.
Of course, in this moment, it is not working for me either.
So hold please.
It's not your.
Maybe it's a.
Cause this is also searching now.
What's weird is I think we have like two accounts.
We have another iPad right here.
So maybe let me just pull this down for a second.
But if we pull this up, it's see,
it kind of popped up like that.
And so now choose that.
You can see it actually has like the script there.
Oh, on your iPad.
Yeah. And when I scroll up or scroll down,
now it's like there.
But if it's not showing up on here,
that's kind of the main thing.
I think one other thing you can do,
I've seen work is just plug in.
Like if you have a cable from your iPad to your computer,
just see if that works.
Sometimes it works over the cable
if the wifi is not working correctly.
It is weird that I have two iPads here
and it only worked on one.
So I'm not sure why that is.
Oh, okay.
Well, that might explain it right there.
Cause our, our white pad is really old.
Is the one that it's working on for you,
the newer you're new?
No, it's actually the older one.
It's not working on the new one.
It doesn't work on the new one.
It's just weird.
Let's see here.
Well, you said put a cable from your wifi to the computer.
To the computer, to the iPad.
Yeah.
To the iPad.
Okay.
Let me, I'm just going to jump on here.
And you said, Lindsay, to get it on,
get the app on iPad and get it on Mac,
but not on the iPhone.
You don't really need it on the iPhone.
No, no, only if you're using iPhone, but really you could just, cause you're
going to be using your Mac and your iPad, just make sure it's on both of those
devices, you know, sign in and then you should be able to sync it as long
as it's on the same wifi network.
I think we did that, but Bob was working on it mainly.
Cause I was working on the content.
We're still, I didn't have peace.
Like you said, about your stuff, about the content and God keeps reworking it.
And I don't want to be perfectionistic, but, um, even our audience,
our audience is switching.
So I don't know.
I feel like I have this big thing all lined up and then it's just like all the
cards get scattered and I have to start all over again and I keep asking God to
arrange it for me and put it in the right order and he's just jumbling it up.
It's, I don't know if he wants me to reach a different audience or what,
but it's been a crazy couple of weeks.
So, well, it sounds like circumstantially it's definitely been very
crazy, especially this weekend.
Yeah.
Do you feel like your lack of peace is strictly on the content?
Where's the tech?
I think it's mostly the tech.
I think the peace will come and I'm excited about the content.
It's coming.
It's forming, it's getting formed and it's going to be awesome when it comes
out and I feel, I'm feel good about it.
I think it's mostly the tech, the tech.
Yeah.
That's an easier fix in my opinion, then the content.
Yeah.
It's actually interesting that it's not working for me.
So I'll maybe look into this and see if there's anything I could, if I can get
it working on mine, maybe I'll make a quick little, I'll go live on the group
or something and just share it.
And the fact that I'm also not able to do it, it's probably, yeah.
Or there's just a few settings.
Like I may need to change something on the iPad.
It's, it's probably something very silly.
Like there's probably a checkbox somewhere that needs to be checked.
Okay.
It might take 10 more minutes.
I could probably find it, but I don't want to.
If you, I know you're at work right now, so you're not in front of your
devices, but if you're able to jump on, on Thursday evening, we can walk
through it with you.
Okay.
I might do that.
Um, I can't this Thursday, but next Thursday for the first half
of the hour, I can do this.
So I fixed it.
Um, so there's just one checkbox and this will be the magic thing.
And I'm going to share my iPad screen that was not working.
And now it is.
So just to show you, you see how there's now like Bruce's iPad on the right,
and there's an iPad at the top.
So the top one is actually Lindsay's one that we use for teleprompter.
And this is the one that was not working is on the bottom now.
And that one is now working.
If I check that box, I've got it.
Okay.
Um, how'd you get that?
How'd you get that to see?
So the magic thing for this is we go to, um, I'm going to share my iPad screen.
So it's just a, there's always some security thing with all these apps.
Um, so this is what I thought it was.
It just was able to get to it a lot faster.
Um, so again, I'll share the screen here so you can go back.
Is that not, that's not sharing.
Is it that's blank screen.
Oh, you know what it is?
It's um, there we go.
Okay.
So what you do is you go over to your settings.
So the little like gear in the bottom, right there.
Yeah.
I click on the gear and then I'm going to go down to the left where it says privacy.
There's like a privacy, um, option right there.
And then if you go on the right, there's a thing that says local
network, um, that's right there.
And so local network.
And then when I opened this, it looked like that.
So let's, all you got to do is just check that box and just
make sure this is all green.
Oh, it was just one button.
Interesting.
Oh, that's very helpful.
Thank you.
Awesome.
That's it.
Fix it.
And now I fixed my iPad.
So this was worth it.
Last time we showed it to you.
I realized it didn't work then, but that's, that's good.
Um, yeah.
If you run into anything else, just post it in the group.
Yeah.
You can even do a screenshot.
Like if you can't make it to the Thursday night this week,
but that should fix it.
Yeah.
It just fixes it for me.
So, okay.
And I could do a screenshot if I have further questions and leave it on.
Oh yeah.
Just drop, drop in the group.
Yeah.
Tag us and drop it in.
Let's put people back.
They're sorry.
You guys are so funny because I'm like, so technically challenged, like screenshot.
How do I do that again?
Screenshot.
Okay.
I always Google when in doubt and Bruce is not near.
I just Google it.
Like, how do I screenshot it?
Good.
Okay.
Um, got it.
Well, I'm excited now.
I can, I think I can get this done.
This is literally with a lot of this is if you just get one sort of little breakthrough,
it's always something silly, but like you get that one little
surprised how many people's breakthrough comes through the teleprompter.
Yeah.
And, uh, then you all of a sudden you're very motivated to work.
that. Okay, good. Thank you. You're welcome. Bobby, how are
you doing today? How are things going?
I am I'm just I am laughing Denise. Oh my god. I, I had the
chills when you were talking and the Lord kept saying it was like
he was saying the the the block of the technology. I mean, the
problem comes to take the promise. So I'm excited for
when you get that out, because I'm going to be the first one to
listen.
I had to kill Denise. And then Amy, I had a word for you.
Father said, let the love his love up out of your life be so
fierce, that there will be struggles in the palm below
Amy, but you never even have to see him because of his love up
and out of your life is so fierce. His love will either
cleanse that problem, or the struggle or wash it away and and
the wash it away is not anything harmful. We know that with
father but washing it away sometimes it just gives someone
else a blessing to connect with that person but his love will
plant seeds and there will be a partial cleansing regardless.
That little problem is washed away or not. And so, you know,
we want people to love us. And I do too, but I don't need them
to it's good for them to love us. But when we don't need them
to take away that identifier from the enemy. So and I know
that's hard with family. I got it the whole time. I was just
rumbling inside and I just but I didn't even know how to raise
my hand. That's how bad I am Denise with technology. So I
will encourage you today with that. And then I do have a
question for Bruce and Lindsay. Um, okay, so this is for like
when I'm watching on Facebook, because I'm trying to watch
other people episodes, and I'm just loving it. But when it's a
YouTube, I find I can't leave them a comment it like I have to
away. Is there a way that people can do a YouTube and have it on
Facebook, but then you can comment or am I doing something
wrong? Because I just felt like it always like took me out of
Facebook and led me back to YouTube. And then
yes, yes. So that's a good point. So yes, it will if
there's a couple ways that you can put videos on Facebook. So
we'll show you some examples as we're as I'm talking through
this, we'll share our screen and show you but if someone shares
just the link on YouTube, when you click on it, it'll bounce
you out into YouTube, because it's a YouTube link. So you'll
have to go into YouTube to watch it and also comment. What what
we recommend is when you post a video into Facebook to post it
what we call natively, which means upload it into Facebook so
that it automatically plays like, so this this video at the
top here, that's a YouTube link. If I click on it, it takes me
off to YouTube. And now I can go comment. Well, first, I'm
going to watch an ad. But you can go down here and leave a
comment. Or if I go back to Facebook, I can technically
comment on this, you can technically click comment. And I
could leave a comment on the post where we shared the link to
YouTube. So those are the two ways then. But we do both like
we post it. This is the same video 184 episode 184. And, and
so we uploaded the video here. So you see how it's actually
playing and I don't have to leave Facebook, I can click on
either comment down here. Or if you want to watch it, you can
click this full screen button, which opens it in this kind of
view. And there's still like a way to comment. Here, you can
see all the comments. So that's sort of commenting on a video
that's been uploaded to YouTube. Or you can comment on Facebook,
sorry, or this is just someone we shared the link here. And so
you know, then you could just comment on that on Facebook. But
so the reason we recommend I do both, so you'll see this the
same video. And what I do is I first like, you know, typically
I put post on Monday, so I'll post it natively into Facebook,
upload it straight into Facebook so that it's there and be able
to play that Facebook will give that more priority. Because
Facebook wants to keep people in Facebook, if that makes
sense, like they don't want to give priority to outside links,
because they want people to stay in their app. So that's why we
post it natively into the Facebook app. And then what I do
is a day or two later, I do like an in case you missed it post,
and I post the same video, but I post the YouTube link. And so
people can just see something in their newsfeed. That's a
reminder, like, hey, go watch this
you have it and it brings them to YouTube.
The reason that I do that is because my long-term strategy
is to build my YouTube.
I utilize Instagram and Facebook,
and I also utilize TikTok as kind of supplemental
to kind of grab people,
but I wanna really treat YouTube as my priority
because of reasons we've talked about before.
Like YouTube really prioritizes your content
past the point of posting it.
So like people are seeing things a year later,
two years later, whereas on Facebook,
it kind of disappears.
So I just do both.
And so I'm even at the point
where I don't even understand that.
So what you're saying is you make your YouTube,
and then when you get it onto Facebook,
you would, so because you're connected to Facebook,
it does it automatically.
So that would be, or I won't.
I'll take it one step.
You go back to the class with dummies.
No, not dummies at all.
It's just new.
It's just totally new.
I did not know a lot of this when I first started out.
I really didn't.
This is stuff I've kind of learned over the last 18 months.
So one step back, I record the video and edit,
and then it's that video file.
I take the same video file and I post it to YouTube.
I post that video file to Facebook,
and I post it to Instagram.
Got it.
Separate, same video file, but three different platforms.
And so starting out, I would just focus on,
I wouldn't worry about Instagram right now.
I would focus on YouTube and Facebook
would kind of be my first platforms to focus on,
taking the same piece of content
and posting it to both of those platforms.
Thank you.
I'm better now.
Yeah, yeah.
And you'll see, once you start to do it,
it'll probably make more sense
once your hands are dirty and in it,
and you're realizing.
But if you get stuck, just let us know.
Again, I'll just encourage you guys,
because we want to,
I think the one thing everybody comes back,
I always say the comment we get from everyone,
and you guys will email it to us,
you'll send it in a DM,
is like, I'm so far behind, I'm so sorry.
I promise I'm going to be there next week.
And we're like, it's fine.
We have all year to hang out with you and get this done.
And so one thing I would recommend
if you're in that beginning stage still,
that's not what I wanted to share at all.
This is what I wanted to share.
On the membership site,
just going through that launch workshop,
so everything we did on that weekend workshop,
a lot of this is,
what Lindsay was just talking about,
was covered in here around producing your first episode,
as far as what needs to be in there.
And I think there's a checklist here,
if I go live.
Yeah, there's a checklist here.
So it's like uploading it.
What she was just saying there,
schedule the post on YouTube,
schedule the post on Facebook, Instagram,
like upload and schedule on Anchor.
So those specific to-do items are right there.
And the video above will kind of walk you through that.
So if you're like, well, I missed that step,
and I'm not sure,
or I haven't got my first episode up and done all this once,
then this is a great thing to just to go back to
and kind of do it more line by line
and kind of get through that.
Because once you do it once, like Lindsay said,
it does make more sense.
And then you do it a second time and you're like,
okay, I kind of get the hang of it.
And then once you're a hundred episodes in,
it gets really easy.
I'm just kidding.
We're not.
It's pretty straightforward.
And then-
I'm sure other people have that question.
Amy, I see your hand.
I actually do.
That's what it is.
And Bobby, thank you so much for your word.
Thank you, Lord, for that word.
I appreciate that.
It is no coincidence that the whole heart of my ministry
is forgiveness and unity in the body of Christ.
And we know that the Lord has called us to unity.
So we are unified.
We're walking into it.
And we're bringing on board some extra family members,
you know, through marriage.
And so, of course, that's where the enemy's going to punch,
but it's where the Lord's going to reinforce me.
And so I very much receive that,
very much bear witness, bears witness.
Okay, so this has to do with Facebook and Instagram.
So I set up my Instagram account
and I don't know what I did,
or maybe it's just coming through suggestions,
but in my little data page that I got,
in my email yesterday,
it showed that I had zero followers on my Facebook page,
which I have just been uploading from my YouTube.
You know, into that, which I think I talked to you all about a few weeks ago, but it says I have 87 followers on Instagram and I, all I did was just post my logo, I haven't posted a video whatsoever.
No zero episodes.
And so I'm just wondering what's, what's up with that. But also, I want to like my daughter's is still helping me. Once I pass off my video to her, and like it's in her windows and in her non Mac computer.
And so she downloaded into a file.
What's the difference between a file in a folder.
A folder holds files, if that makes sense like there's a folder, like a that holds different itemized files. So like several episodes with a folder. Yes, you got it.
Okay, so, so my files that are my episodes are in a folder.
Or they got my, you know, the little music thing which I haven't figured out how to do that myself yet on my own computer or device. But anyway, so I've, I've looked just briefly into Facebook Creators Studio.
Yeah, wanting to upload those, like, you know, one at a time, or at least start with, you know, to the episode that will go out tomorrow.
But I don't know how to get them from Google Drive over to share with my Facebook Creator Studio.
So, yeah, the best thing is if you're in Google Drive to download it basically from Google Drive to your computer and then you can upload it to Facebook from there to the Creator Studio, or to my I mean yeah I don't have a computer but you mean to my device I mean like
my iPad.
Um, if it's on your iPad, you can still download it.
So the way you would do that is yeah just going to what I do is there's a iPad and an iPhone app for Google Drive. I would start right start with that.
I have that. Okay, perfect. So, and get into my files, and there's little three dots next to each episode. Yeah, yes.
I'm going to share my screen again here.
This is on my phone now.
So this is the.
Let's go back to the right account.
So this is our, we call it Haven Hill.
And this is all of Lindsay stuff so here's like her episodes. And then if I go to exports, like you're saying it looked like this right, it's got like the three dots.
Yes, but it doesn't say it just says completed episodes when I open the file but it is dots like that, and it. Yeah, you get it to where like if I tap on that video.
I can watch it here. Welcome to see, and then I can close that.
And then I can click the three dots next to this, and then there's an option here to basically save it to your computer.
Um,
that's not actually going to work that way. Oh, you click open is this, this is silly, like, this is a good question here because this is not intuitive at all. So if you click open in.
Yes, okay.
Then it wants to download it for you so it's going to start to export it and download it. And then you can save it to your files I'll do let it happen, it's going to take a minute, but
that's like you would never think to tap the open in link. Right. Right. So when I'm done now it's asking me like okay where do you want to save and you can see the file up here it's 535 megabytes.
And so now if I scroll down.
I could there's one of the options here is to save to files.
So what files are those going to go into it's already saved files right it's right now it's on Google Drive.
Okay, what I want to do is have it on my phone. That way when I go over to my creator studio I can I can upload it from my phone, and for you it'll be your iPad because yeah I've had same thing.
So if I click Save to files. There is a thing like for iCloud Drive here.
And so I'm just, it doesn't really matter where you put it. I think there's a one called movies that y'all were one called video.
So we'll go there, and then I go to the top right up here and hit save.
Now what that's going to do is actually take that whole file and like save it.
but into my folder.
And so if I go over to, I don't have Facebook.
So there's a Creator, I think it's a Creator Studio app.
There is, I have that.
And the business, I re-watched Thursday's,
I wasn't present, but yeah, I downloaded both of those
to both my phone and my iPad.
So now if I, but just for example,
like I was gonna choose this,
if I hit the little green thing and post it,
you can use the Creator Studio, it'll work just as well.
Now, if I go to the top, okay,
this is not gonna work again.
I'm in the wrong thing here.
Let's go to YouTube and let's try to hit plus.
I'm just gonna upload a video.
Let's see here, if it's gonna only let me do that.
Yeah, this is definitely, this is a good question
because I am struggling to figure it out.
It makes me feel so much better, Bruce.
I do have a Mac Air on the way.
It will be here.
I'm just gonna dive in.
So anyway.
It's gonna be so much easier.
It is definitely possible.
We just need to kind of think about it
because you're,
I think basically what's confusing,
now I'll just show you here.
There's an app on all your iPad and your phone.
And when you go to files,
it basically brings up that list again,
if I go back here.
And so if I go to that, I think it was called video.
I click on this,
then this one here is that's the episode I wanted to have.
So if I tap on that,
you could click here, save video.
So if you hit save video,
that will actually save it to my photos
and be accessible.
Yes.
Everything.
Creator Studio does give you,
I mean, they want to access your videos or your picture.
Yeah.
And let me check,
maybe potentially there was an option for that
when I was going through this really fast.
But yeah, you can come back and watch this as well
when you're trying to remember.
Let me just let this go one more time
and I'll see if there's a way to go directly
from Google Drive straight to your photos.
I'm pretty sure there is.
So now it's going to ask me where,
and I don't see that actually.
Let's just see if there's a way to add it now.
So I think the way I did show you is correct.
So yeah, save to files.
You had to save to files and then go into that file
and save it to your photos.
Yeah.
It's a little bit of an extra step.
It's an extra step,
but it won't take too much extra time.
So now if I went to YouTube and hit upload video,
this should be there.
Oh, there it is.
So there, you can see it's right there.
Welcome to season seven of Posture.
And I could technically upload this now.
I've taken it from Google Drive.
I stored it on my iCloud and videos.
Then I saved it to my photos and then I opened it.
And the way I just did it with YouTube,
it'll be the same for Creator Studio.
Okay.
Good question.
We're good.
It makes a lot of sense.
You can definitely do it,
but with the right tech and stuff,
I mean, with the Mac, it'll be easier.
It'll be like less steps, but.
Yes.
I figured it's like DaVinci,
instead of doing iMovie, like dive in.
And so, yeah, which I downloaded that,
but I ran out of space.
So I'm waiting on the space to open up
and come to me when I paid for it.
It's taking a long time.
Got it.
Yeah.
Cool.
Thank you.
Of course.
Very helpful.
No problem.
Cool.
I don't see any,
I don't think anyone else has any questions.
If you do, you can just wave at us,
but I will leave us with this thought
because I'm currently in an active practice
of overcoming the spirit of intimidation
and something that I've noticed,
and I see Ben's hand, so we will get to you, Ben.
Something I've noticed is when it comes to the unknown,
not just an unknown,
like I don't know how the circumstance is gonna turn out,
but I've come to a place where I don't know something.
I have, in the past, let intimidation rob me
of the chance to move forward and learn something new.
And so I just wanna encourage you.
My friend Ashley encouraged me with this.
She said, Linz, you gotta let yourself be five.
And she's talking about a particular area in my life
that I was maturing in, but had not yet matured in.
She said, the Lord holds space for you to just be five,
just like we would hold space in the natural
for a five-year-old to be learning something at five.
But we think because we've hit a chronological age
or a certain point in our life that we can be five.
in no area of life. But the reality is both spiritually and in the physical realm, there's
still things that whether we're 34, 55, 65, 75, there's areas that we're still five in.
And it's not a place of condemnation, it's a place of invitation and growth. So if you find
yourself up against the barrier of intimidation at all this week because of the unknown or not
knowing something, push through that by allowing yourself to admit, I don't know. So I need to ask
the questions, even if I look dumb or if it feels like it's very basic, because I'm going to choose
the invitation of growth versus the intimidation of self-preservation. So that's what I'm practicing.
Okay, Ben. That's good. You should put that on YouTube.
Hey, that was so good. Thanks for sharing that, Lindsay. Yeah, that's really good to hear and
yeah, working through it. Yeah. So if there's room for another question, I would have one,
if that's okay. We've got like 10 more minutes, so go for it. So let's, if that's okay, if I could share
my screen once more. Yep. Okay, thank you. And sorry for my voice. It's just got a cold, kind of.
And my question is around, and I want to boost a post. I tried that earlier today. Yeah. And
I know on that training video that you did, Bruce, with Amber, you were talking about that briefly,
but not about the tactics. And it seems to be a little bit weird for me. So if that's okay,
if we can maybe go through that or is that okay? Yeah. And there's nothing wrong with boosting
something. I mean, you can definitely try it. Just because we're used to running everything
on the ads manager, typically I'll just create a new post and be a little more specific about
what I want. Either I do, I want post engagement, do I want more people to see it,
that kind of thing. So this is sort of just a shortcut way to do all that. And we can go through
it. Yeah. If you want to click boost posts, we can walk through that. Oh, well, I'm not looking
for a shortcut. I thought that Amber was saying on that video, you were talking about it, right?
That she had a kind of a post and she boosted a little bit, but she got even more engagement
from the same post organically. That's what I understood. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah. And I think
it's maybe some terminology, like she probably used the word boost, meaning like I put some
money behind it. I don't know if she necessarily meant click the boost button right there.
Oh, I thought that was it. Or I boosted it, like could be what she was saying. I would, what we do.
So she did, she created an ad. Yeah. And that's all you're doing when you do a boost is just
create, it just creates an ad, like a quick way to do an ad. Okay. So if actually, if you boosted
something, it's going to show up in this table here. So just to help like make it more, just
simplify it. It shows up like this here, which is. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. What it's going to do. And
then what you can do is if you hit create and then you create a new ad here, and then you went to
like post engagement, that's all it's really doing is just setting up like a post engagement. Yeah.
Okay. Okay. And then yeah, where it says post engagement there. And then when you get to the
creative, instead of putting in an image and putting in text, you can say, just use another
post. And that's where you can choose the post you want to use. And we're definitely recommending,
and I've kind of redone some of the training in the Facebook ads to, to kind of go a little bit
backwards. Cause what Amber showed like the last few weeks of September was definitely an
interesting tactic. It's so far more complicated than, than anything we had been our kind of
simplified version. And I did both for kingdom messengers and I still got more page likes and
followers using our original method. And hers is sort of a longer term play. And again, if you go
on YouTube, there's a thousand tactics on like how to use Facebook ads. Hers is another one of them.
And I think it was good. I think she saw some really good results with it and I know others did
as well. But what you're doing here with that sort of just a post engagement is one of the
best ways you, and it works particularly well with video content. Yeah. So, cause we put,
we took the kingdom messengers Facebook page and we had six people who liked it. And in two days,
I think I put it, we got it to like 1200 or something. By utilizing a video. Yeah. So we,
we posted videos, episodes, and then I just did what we did here is we just set up a post engagement
and I said, Hey, go put this in front of people who like Bill Johnson and Graham Cook and all
these different people who are also bloggers and writers and creative people. And so we just
quickly got, you know, a bunch of likes and followers to that page. With people who were,
I would say.
you're going to stick around because they weren't generic. Like they had very
an interest in the content that we were posting because they had the,
you know, kind of blogger creator side of them, but also the spiritual side,
as far as like, Oh, these are the type of, this is the type of people that I already listened to.
Like Graham cook, for instance, we posted some stuff. So yeah. Like for you, it might be John
Maxwell, you know, cause that's around your content, things like that, but that targeted
approach helps. And it helps with retention as well, because when, as you continue to post new
content, you're still serving up stuff that those people are interested in because it's
in that same vein. Yep. Thank you so much. Perfect. Awesome. Okay, guys, well, we will
see you on Thursday. In the meantime, you can, you know, like we said, if something comes up
between now and then you can post it in the group, be sure to tag us and let us know where we can
help. Awesome. We'll see you guys on Thursday. Bye. Bye.
