Hey, how's it going?
Oh, I think you're muted.
I'm just going to move actually.
Just like this.
Where are you?
Oh, you're still in North Carolina.
We are.
By the surroundings.
Yes.
I bet it's cold there.
It's not too bad, actually.
Well, it's like 56 right now.
It's just very windy.
So it was not too bad.
Yesterday it was 70 degrees.
So we can't complain.
I know.
It's cold in Arizona today.
So I don't have my sun porch.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
That's good.
You don't want to talk about Indiana.
No.
You guys, I'm not.
I don't feel sorry for you at all.
I was raised in northern Minnesota.
So I know.
Yes.
You know, then that's bitter cold there.
Lots of snow.
Cool.
Okay.
I think you're live on Facebook.
That's on.
Yep.
Then.
And awesome.
Cool.
Hi, everyone.
Very good.
Let me just turn this off.
Awesome.
Cool.
Lindsay will probably jump in here as well in a second.
She's not here, but she's going to jump on by soon.
So yeah.
Welcome to our new 3pm time.
Thanks for paying attention to our announcements and stuff.
So hopefully this works for everybody.
We were just having like fewer people on each call.
And so it's more fun.
It's a lot of fun.
So hopefully this works for everybody we were just having like fewer people
on each call.
And so it's more fun if we can all kind of see each other on one call during
the week.
So that'd be more fun.
And everybody voted on a Tuesday at 2 PM.
And then we just couldn't do that to our Australian friends.
And so we just pushed it one hour.
Later.
Hopefully that was all okay.
Okay.
I think we're going to have to do another one for them.
And they're like, we could probably do 7 0 AM. So they were there.
Fine, but that's good.
So.
Awesome. Let me just check here.
Susie's jumping on.
Let me.
Just pull up our list here.
Okay. Yeah. So I think Ben,
you had questions about your Facebook ads.
And anyone else who has a question,
just let us know that you guys had submitted something ahead of time.
I saw Ben, you had questions about your Facebook ads.
Yes.
Okay.
I had some struggles there.
Awesome. Do you want to share your screen or show us what you've got?
Yeah.
I don't know what happened.
So.
Cool.
Can I share my screen?
Yes.
Okay. So.
My wife is doing a webinar and I was trying to.
Push some people over for her on her landing page.
Okay.
But that didn't seem to work.
Okay.
So what type of campaign let's see what you did.
You do a traffic campaign.
As the goal.
Okay.
Yeah, that's okay. It says traffic, right? Okay.
Okay. There we go. Yeah.
Yeah.
So traffic is good.
Let's see.
I did the optimizing the budget.
Okay.
Yeah, that's okay. Because you really have only have one ad set.
I was planning to do a second one. I didn't at the end.
Yeah.
So.
Checking that box doesn't really do anything, but that's fine.
It's not going to hurt it.
At all.
Even though I have to add sets here, it doesn't.
That doesn't control that.
No. So.
Yeah, it'll, it'll kind of figure it out for you again.
Um, let's take a look at your targeting and just see what you're using for that.
Not a second.
So I was using, uh, an audience that I had already earlier, um, where we posted some
stuff, just regular stuff, right.
Um, some quotes and, and got some feedback there.
Okay.
And that worked pretty well back then, like just a couple of cents for a like.
And so, so, and it's Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, right.
At the age is, um, 30 to 40, uh, language is German, even though that doesn't
make any big difference here.
Yeah.
And it was people in this very specific, um, ADHD awareness.
Mom.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, this thing, what may be a question Bruce to you.
Um, I was trying to approach it from a different way and without using my, my
audience that I have saved, I was looking for the ADHD, um, targeting
those, and I couldn't find it anymore.
Could that be that they're taking away a whole category or, or that's possible
that, that, that's basically this one is not active anymore.
Yeah.
Um, it could, but it wouldn't, it wouldn't mean make you not get results.
So let's just take a look at, see what you did.
So did you run this for a day or two or, um, so I had one running
yesterday, a little bit different.
Um, but that didn't do anything.
I had about 2,500, um, um, impressions and not, not even a single one, you
know, um, ended up on the landing page.
Yeah.
Okay. So let's click just, if you want to close this for a second, let's
just look at some numbers.
Um, so just set the date range here to like, to include all the dates that you
were, um, yeah, we can do, um, last seven days.
Right.
Yeah, that should be fine.
Um, so try to go again.
Sorry. This is, uh, because everything is, yeah, I'm just trying to, I'm
literally going off site of where I think the buttons are in that way.
I'm sorry.
I had to look, um, and then, uh, try this, the dropdown there.
Um, yes.
Uh, no, sorry.
I think it, maybe it's this one.
There's just a different view, which will let us.
Um, so this is time.
That's the delivery.
That's the handling.
And this is, yeah, it's, um, so I'm going to have to look at mine to see it's, I
think it's, I think it's, uh, this one, what is in here, the rules.
No, hang on one second.
I'm trying to get out of zoom.
Uh, one second.
I'm sorry, but my wife doesn't, um, want to do that in English.
I have mine in English, but it's my fault for not speaking German.
Um, let me just pull it up on mine to show you exactly where it is.
Um, but basically we want to see one of the columns we want to see, uh, is, um,
so, uh, on where it says, do you have a columns?
Um, so I think it is actually, yeah.
So there's one that says like, um, reach, I think, or it says, um, delivery.
It should be like the third one from the top.
Yeah.
So that's the delivery, right?
That's here.
Um, that's, those are the impressions.
That's the, this one is to reach here.
Okay.
Those are the impressions.
Okay.
And these are the results per result.
And that's, you know, so nothing, um, right.
So like, it hasn't done any, did you run it in the last seven days?
No, I, this one, I just started this morning, but the other one running
yesterday and it was kind of nothing.
And then all of a sudden it was raining up all, you know, kind of like crazy.
Just change this to today.
Then let's just take a look at, okay.
So there's, I just wanted to see something, some movement there.
Um, just to make sure, because sometimes you can set up the targeting in such a
way where it doesn't actually run at all.
So, and is this the landing page views?
So this is the landing page views now.
And why does it show up now?
Because he made it from the day.
Yeah.
Cause you said you only started it this morning.
So it doesn't, if you say last seven days, it's everything from yesterday
and the seven days yesterday.
Yeah.
I don't know why it's like the last full seven days.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that's one, one thing.
Um, and I would, for a traffic campaign.
like five to $10 euros, whatever, um, the days, I think you had a hundred
there is quite aggressive and I would start slow.
Is it, it's when's the event on Thursday?
Okay.
Yeah.
So maybe, I mean, the highest I probably goes like 25 to 50 each
day, um, and do a daily budget there.
Um, Um, just cause it, it tends to get slightly better results.
It's not always spend more money, get more results necessarily.
Um, only when you see it, certain things working.
So I would try more different, like I would have 10, $10 a month
campaigns running rather than one 100, if that makes sense and attempts.
Now you don't have to do 10, but if you wanted to do five for $20 a day,
20 a day, um, something like that.
It gives you like five, like tests.
Um, and I just got a text from Lindsay that says she's been
sitting in the waiting room.
So I'm going to let her in really quick.
Yeah.
Um, that's probably a good thing.
Okay, cool.
Um, so that's, you know, what you can do next is like, um, uh, well, yeah,
if you want to edit this, just open that up again, I'll show you two quick
things and then we'll jump over.
Um, and if you want to work on it and come back as well, like I'm happy to,
uh, you can just, but, um, go back to this top level here.
Let's go down.
It may not let us change this after we're there.
Um, just, yeah.
Uncheck the budget optimization.
I don't know if it's going to let you do that.
Yeah.
So just leave it at 20.
Yeah.
Just was a warning that it's kind of spending more than I usually do or whatever.
Yeah.
So just go back to this one now and scroll down a bit.
Um, the budget should move down to this tab now.
So there we go.
So this is, this is 20 euros just for this one ad set.
So if you want to try a different targeting, um, so basically it's
going to spend 20 just for the audience you have on this one ad set.
So what I would do is click up here and then duplicate that down, um, to a second one.
And, um, and then all you want to change here, leave, leave the 20, leave all of
that, just go and change the targeting to something slightly different.
Um, so like try a different, like search for different, like search for different
health, mental health, like anything that's around the topic that she's doing
and try to leave those broad, like, um, actually learning, I'm doing a whole
another like Facebook ads course that I'm learning, um, especially on as far
as the, uh, um, like optimizing a lot of this stuff and actually the, the less
information you get Facebook, the better.
So just put like two tags that says like, um, you know, even leaving the age
range, like wide open, like not necessarily limiting it to a certain.
So for like this one, you could do 30 to 45 and this one, like, just take it
totally off, like just let anyone who wants to see the ad, see it and
change it to a different targeting.
And so this would be 20 and that would be 20.
And then if you want, you could do another 20, another 20, another 20, and
you'd be back to your a hundred a month, a hundred a day goal, but now you're
testing like five different instances of the ads.
And so over time, you can see that one is work performing better than others.
And you can turn those ones that aren't performing off and then increase the
budget on the ones that are working.
So, so.
So would you open the age, let's say, even though the people that you want to
work with or that we can help is, is not outside the range of 30 to 50.
You can, if it's a very specific range, I mean, your numbers don't look too
small up here, if you were seeing like 30,000 people, then I would say like,
it's, it's just too few, but you're seeing a lot of people.
So, and what you've done here is you've left on detailed targeting.
I feel like I can speak German just a little bit, cause I know where everything
is, but I don't know if you can hear me.
So I'm just going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say
I can speak German just a little bit.
Cause I know where everything is.
I feel like I'm getting pretty close.
So the that's detailed targeting.
And that's basically just showing that if, if they, if Facebook thinks it can
get better results by trying different things, it'll just change it for you.
So it's kind of like a, here's my suggestion, but if Facebook, you have
a better idea than do that.
So I would get, that's exactly what I do is like use this one, try one
audience there, try another one there.
Maybe just do two or three and then just hit publish.
And all of those ad sets will run.
and you'll probably get some better results doing more at a lower spend there. So, awesome.
Okay, and would you mind having a quick look at the settings here?
Yeah, everything looked, I did look at that. The ad looks great. I like how colorful and
we've got a photo there. I mean, everything looks good here. You've got a short amount of text,
the website's there, and then you've got your URL there. So, yeah, I mean, that I would have
probably, I would have mentioned it if you had, but this honestly looks good. As far as generally,
like, I don't know what the words are that are there, but you kept it to a short amount. I see
that it says 60 minutes, you know, and so. 50 minutes live training, how to learn the seven
keys for a relaxed, I don't know how to say it in English, dealing with ADHD.
Yeah, yeah. So, it's great. That's, it's nice and short to the point,
get the graphic and then register. Potentially, you could change the button to learn more,
but like, these are like little things that I don't know if would really make a huge difference.
So, people are probably more inclined to hit learn more than, okay, I'm going to give you
all my information next, because I bet on this page, you're probably going to tell them more
about it. And then there's a register button. So, because I had learned more yesterday and
the result wasn't good. So, I thought it was probably not good. Yeah. Again, this is something
where you, you test stuff, right? So, you get five tries or as many tries as you want. So,
this could be register. This one could be learn more this one and, and just try five different
options rather than only having to pick one. You don't have to be that smart. You know,
you're just putting a lot of different things out there to see which one works best. So,
okay. Thank you. And one last question for right now. I thought I could also do run that on
Instagram because the account is linked and usually I can, but I don't see any,
oh, it says no Instagram here. Okay. Yeah. If you scroll to the top here at the top there,
it should have an Instagram. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, there it looks like it is connected.
Cool. Okay. Thank you so much. Just take a screenshot.
That's great. If you want to take a screenshot of the,
of the results and then come back, that's totally fine too. So, yeah. Okay. Cool.
How should I send you that? Sorry? How do you want me to share that? Oh,
you can just put it in the Facebook group and tag me. Okay. Thank you. No problem. Okay, cool.
And so, one of the things we'll mention as well, like I know since we're just doing the one call,
we'll make sure that we get to everybody's question as best we can here. So, if you are
jumping on and you have a question, like I'll, we'll try and even if we have to go past an hour,
but if you do want to be front first off like that, Ben submitted a question using the question
form. So, just moving forward. So, let's do, so let's look at, you had a, so we had Mary Alice
had a question about Anchor FM, a glitch, a glitch getting link on Anchor FM.
Okay. What I did, actually somebody, so I just put up a video yesterday. I
sent that to a friend and we transfer. So, if I go to Anchor, I cannot directly upload.
So, this morning, I just did a voicemails podcast and upload it that way. But is there
a workaround for taking the link from YouTube or a Facebook and getting the podcast portion
on Anchor? Not really, like from YouTube, you'd want to take the file that you uploaded to YouTube
and upload that to. The thing is, yeah, okay. A friend, because I was having such trouble
cutting off, I'd make videos and I'd cut off the end and the whatever. And then I was spending a
lot of time working on other things and that person said, stop, send it to me, we'll upload it for you.
And so, that answers it. I'll just, I can take the same lesson, just talk to myself and airdrop it
to my computer, then I can upload it to Anchor, correct? Yeah, that will work. I'll also show you
an option here. If you go, so if you've already edited it on YouTube and you go to your YouTube
studio...
Again, this will get recorded so you can come back and watch this, but, and we go to content.
So let's say you've got the episode exactly where you want it.
This is Lindsay's episode from Monday, from yesterday.
So we click on this options.
There's actually a download button right there.
Oh, okay, so you can download this and it'll save it to your computer.
And then you would just go to anchor and upload that same exact file.
You don't have to rerecord it or anything.
And that's the runaround I was looking for.
Perfect.
Okay, good.
And then when I was looking at anchor, oh, today I found Twitter.
I have an old, old, old Twitter account.
And so I up and it's cool because it's called onto the Lord.
So it so I could upload it there.
So a couple of questions on anchor, it does talk about P O L L S.
Like if you want to take polls from people, should I stay away from that?
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it just yet on anchor.
And for, for, for Twitter, I wouldn't worry too much about Twitter for this niche.
I mean, you can definitely do it at some point.
It's not going to have as much impact as YouTube and anchor.
Even those are kind of the two main ones.
And if you wanted to do a third platform, like Tick Tock would be the next place to
go.
But a little more to get there.
Yeah, that's fine.
But also, don't worry about Twitter.
It's kind of in the news and tech space and like more techie stuff.
If I catch somebody fine, I'm not it was there, I could upload.
Now, how do how do I get from anchor?
It'll put it on Spotify and something up.
But how do I get it on Apple and some of the other ones?
That's a good question.
This is actually interesting because I answered this question for the roadmap group, and I'm
realizing now that you guys don't get to see that because it's in a different Facebook
group. So I'll just show you really quick.
So when when you're an anchor here, you go up to settings and then there's a thing
called I think it's podcast availability.
And so you'll click on that.
And so by default, it's going to go to Spotify and this anchor link.
But if you keep scrolling down, there's like an Apple podcast.
Yeah. And then so they'll have this link that you'll use.
So copy that and then they'll say to submit the Apple podcast, please use like the Apple
podcast connect.
You'll click on this and then you'll actually sign in with your Apple ID.
So the same Apple ID you use for your iPhone or your Mac.
If you don't have one, you can create one.
So you don't have if you guys are on PC and you're on Android, you're not getting
excluded. You just create one right here.
It's free. And then you can jump in and it'll take you step by step at one point.
They'll say, please paste the URL and you'll just paste this long link in and you'll
paste that in there. And then it's pretty straightforward.
There's not really much set up to do.
It will sort of do it for you.
And walk you through it.
And the same it just you just showed Google podcast.
I I could select any of the others as well.
You could do the others.
Exactly. So, yeah, so I would recommend just doing the top two, Apple and Google.
There's a lot of other ones here.
And if you have time and you want to set it up, this is a one time set up and you just
forget about it. Once these are set up, then every episode you upload to Anchor is
going to automatically go to all the platforms for you.
So that's what that's.
So. Lindsay made the comment just to me, it doesn't I don't actually know, can you
unmute yourself? I don't know what you're mentioning.
Hey, can you hear me? Yes.
Sorry, I'm on my phone, my computer, I don't have my computer.
It doesn't automatically distribute when you set up your anchor account.
No, not anymore.
Oh, OK. So it used to do that.
Yes. And that is a new that's a new change, because when you were like it was one
click and like everything would just sort of magically happen.
But, yeah, you just have to do this one little step moving forward, so.
So that's only for people who are just setting up Anchor, not people who have already
set up Anchor.
Well, yeah.
Anyone in this group this year, we just probably have to do that.
Um, and it will take like maybe a week or so for Apple to make it work.
Have it all connected.
Process it.
Yeah.
But then it's automatic after that.
Automatic in the sense that you do the steps each time you know, you just
upload the, the, the video to anchor just to anchor will take care of all
the copies of where it needs to go after that for you.
All right.
Um, okay, so let me look at this.
I'm just marking it's completed.
And, um, so when I had a quick question, sorry, I'm just looking at the chat.
I don't know.
So when I had a question about Stripe social, and then if anyone else has
a question, feel free to, you can put your hand up or just make a comment
in the chat here and we'll get to all of your questions.
Reba and Brett do have a question too.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll do that.
Sounds good.
I'll do, we'll do Lynette and then over to even Brett.
Oh,
oh, are you ready?
Go for it.
Okay.
Well, I'm trying to, um, get it all figured out in my head.
So I'll tell you where I am so far.
I just need help differentiating the different levels of this.
If I could show you quick where I'm at.
And then you can let me know if I'm doing this right.
Okay.
All right.
So I'll show you where, what I want and then, um, trying
to put these back in to this.
So, um, we want to have a welcome video here, but this welcome is it's housed
in topics, which I didn't understand like that.
Um, and then, um, and then the coaches collective is going to be like a place
holder or how do you have it named?
Like collections.
Right.
And then what I'd like to see is that someone clicks in here and then under
here, they'd have like the different pictures of each area of influence.
But right now, what I was able to do is have it here, like down here.
So I just need to know like, yeah, which thing, how to put it in.
Yeah.
So I think last time when we talked last week, um, I would, the
topics is what I would, where I would put.
So if you scroll down that group that you've got, uh, abortion
recovery, pregnancy outreach, I would make that a topic.
Um, and then all your collections would sit underneath that topic for now.
Um, okay.
So yeah, I would, I would put everything in topics because right
now the welcome is in topics.
Yeah.
Really?
All of your groups that you had created the coin stuff, each one of
those would become a topic, I think.
Okay.
So convert the, convert the groups to topics.
Yep.
And then once I have it in, in here, sorry, my pictures in the way.
Um,
do I put show in nav bar?
Do I, you can, if you want, that will be in the little dropdown.
If you go back to the site and the other tab, um, and scroll to the
top, like little topics up here.
Sorry.
The very top right there.
Um, that we'll just add it there for you.
You've got it right there.
That's what I want to do.
Yeah.
I w I want to add that so that they can pick now, if they click
on this, it'll take them there.
So all the, all the stuff for that topic.
Yeah.
So that's yeah.
Yeah.
And then all of the videos for that will be under there, I think
is what you were looking for.
Yes.
I just want to make sure.
Yeah.
I know you did it all in groups, but I think after we talked last week, I think
this using the topics will be the way to go.
Okay.
So, um, so once I'm in, I have it in topics.
And just remember that topics, um, collections go inside of a topic and
content goes inside of collections.
Okay.
Say that again.
So collections goes and goes inside of a topic and content
goes inside of collections.
I will, um, draw for you real quick.
Yeah.
Do you have a, I'm just doing a mental block with this.
I think I have it just completely opposite in my brain and I cannot shake it.
It's a.
The same as musical notes.
There's just some black for me.
Let's see here.
Are you drawing or typing?
Give me one second.
It's not responding.
Okay.
I'm just adding my iPad here.
One second.
So yeah, if I go to the whiteboard.
Okay.
Sorry, that took a second to get there.
So you have content here.
And then, so you could have like,
let's say you have like content.
And this could be like an episode.
This could be an episode.
This could be episode number one.
It's been number two.
And then, you know, episode number three.
And then all of those can be put,
and I'll change the color,
in inside of a collection.
So this is like a collection.
One day when I will make a diagram for this,
that's not me hacking stuff.
And then this could be like a collection called,
you know, a series.
It could be like limits, you know, content.
It could be a creator.
It could be like, you can name it whatever you want.
And then-
That's what I was thinking.
The collection would be one of the coins.
One of the, yeah.
So no, a collection would be one of the content creators,
like the speaker.
Okay, I've got it.
So opposite.
Okay.
The collection is going to be our mentors then.
Right.
So a topic can have like multiple collections.
The green ones.
If the green is a collection.
And red is the, you know,
and the blue is the content.
It's all in my head.
Very well documented.
In my head.
I want to take a screenshot of that.
Yeah.
And this will be on the recording as well.
So you can have,
so the topic we set as,
this would be like the pregnancy abortion.
Right.
This could be, inside of this could be like all of,
you can have Lynette's content there,
or you could have like, you know,
Sarah's content in here,
or you can have a topic called like popular content
or resources for something, you know,
new moms or something.
And you can just keep adding this unlimited collections
in all of these.
And there's unlimited content in each of those.
So all of this will get housed under the bigger topic
called, which is your coin,
the pregnancy and abortion, that whole thing.
Like you've got it right now.
So the topic is the big,
I just need the big funnels topic.
Yes.
In that would be content.
Collections.
Yeah.
So it kind of goes like over here,
you've got topic, collections, then content.
Okay.
I'm going to do my best.
I got the topic and the content.
I'm not like quite sure.
I think I just have the different definition in my head,
but I'll get it.
I will work through this.
This is awesome.
People are very excited, Bruce.
So I just got to get it done.
And just, if you want to mock it up just for that one,
like we showed,
and then just drop a link into the Facebook group
and just tag me and just say,
hey, is this correct?
And then I'll give you a thumbs up.
And because I know you have like 30 different topics.
So before you go do all 30.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't want to break it.
I don't.
Thank you.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
Thank you.
Okay.
So is it Riva is on here or Brett?
I know, or both of you are here.
Yes, we're both here.
I'm going to start the video.
Hey, what's up?
I don't think we've seen you guys in a while.
Yeah.
Yes.
Good to see you guys.
We're plowing in a sense.
Next steps for us would be,
I never did anchor.
So I need to put the stretching into Jesus videos on anchor.
I did do the Facebook campaign,
you know, working with the full length videos.
I haven't gone yet into TikTok or Instagram videos either.
I haven't had the time to like,
how do you crop those videos,
especially if there's text in it so that it's ready to go.
So I'll have to put my mind around that maybe on a weekend.
So my question,
is twofold. One, I just want you guys to like give us maybe some input. I see Amy on there too. Like
some other friends who are, you know, getting started putting their message out. Brent and I
are worship leaders. Friday night we were in Illinois here leading worship as a family for
just to encourage one another as believers that, you know, the light shines in the darkness. And
so we had this instrumental album called Great Light and we don't know how to do this. That's
why you guys are treasured because we know how to worship and we know how to record music because we
have a home studio. But as far as like packaging this to present it, I mean the stretching into
Jesus is even a side that I added that when we were starting Kingdom Messenger Workshop. I was
like, hey, this is something that I'm doing that I could in a small bite-sized portion release now.
But the rest of it is like the big baby that we're feeling like, you know,
wanting to birth a bigger baby. I got bogged down not only in the difficulty I was having was there
was copyright issues and concerns. 10 years ago or a long time ago I would copyright all of the
music. Now it's more expensive and that's not really that big a deal. But the issue I bumped
into last week on top of everything else is that I'm going to have to change distribution companies.
So not only do I need to get the music copyrighted but I was looking for a quick path to
I finished producing a product, I get it copyrighted, I get it published, I tether over to BMI
and all of a sudden it's distributed all over the world and I go on to the next song.
And promote it through what you guys are showing us how to give a little message and here's a
little song, link is in the bio. Like I see that small piece that we can do but there's
some tails that are not connecting yet for us. Yeah it's kind of like the whole workflow of you
want to put a new piece of content out like what are all the things to what are all the boxes you
got to check to get an episode out right and make sure it's you're not putting out content that's
not copyright or so yeah I don't know Lindsay if you have thoughts first I have thoughts but
it's more of a content yeah I mean I think there's a couple things even before we talk
about the the music piece of just like really honing in on what it is that you guys want to
be focused on in this season because I'm hearing a couple different things I just want to make sure
that you know I know you have stretching into Jesus but really it sounds like it's the worship
music piece that is in your hearts to do so am I understanding correctly like yes that's our
core yeah and so do you feel like before we you know talk about that are there anything like is
the stretching into Jesus distracting right now is it taking away your time and energy from doing
this core thing I'll be slower to answer I feel like personally it's invigorating it's more of
an extension of my my private personal time right so what I'm concerned about is there's like a
bottlenecking that's happening because the worship that we do together I feel like Brett could be
promoting with his messages I gave him advice who am I but I was saying honey something simple
just do the songs we've already copyrighted just work with them yeah so that we don't have to worry
right now because there's enough that are already but I want to be clear I'm actually not worried
I I want to aggressively close to the songs and get moving I'm not thinking in the back of my
mind that someone's going to steal the music it's not it's not even but it's but I'm bogged down in
the red tape yeah so I think and there's a and I'm waiting to hear back so my my brother did
an album and then there is like I think he did it in like a few hours had everything copyrighted
for like very very little money like less than 100 bucks for his whole album so there's like you
can set send through that way and it'll distribute it for you to Spotify and Apple Music and everywhere
for you and maybe you already know about some of those but there are tools for that where it is
just here's my mp3 my wav file my mp3 and then let it just
distributed everywhere, and take care of copywriting
and stuff.
That pipeline is pretty well, is pretty out there.
Once I hear, I'll actually text him while we're talking.
So I'll get that link, the one that he used.
But I would say like, yeah, so there's kind of two things.
It's kind of, cause you're each doing a channel.
You're saying potentially the worship could all be done
through Brett's channel.
Is that what you said, I think?
We have a home studio called Splash Studios.
Okay.
And then we have like an outreach in Peoria
that's a worship live venue.
But also be aware, like we've been with CD Baby,
who does our distribution since 2006.
Yeah.
They're not, they're throwing us curve balls.
The process is very bulky and very technical,
like it's broken.
And I had to tell them last week,
you guys, I'm going to have to switch distribution companies
cause this is, we're just going to start over
with DistroKid and try something new.
So we're well aware of those avenues.
Okay.
But I've just lost too much time and energy so far
in spinning, trying to get the content created.
Yeah. So let's define like what the content is.
Do you think, cause I think there's the idea
of just putting a created body of work
and a song or a set of songs as one video
just up for people to listen to,
which I think is one post.
If you think of just like,
I'm just posting the song in its entirety.
And I wouldn't even worry about an intro, an outro.
I would just be like, here's the song,
just in its entirety.
Don't even have to have you on it.
Just, just a song.
And you saw Michelle Kuss is on here as well.
She just did a post and she literally just took
like a looping video.
That's the video part.
And it's just her like ambient tracks that she recorded.
And that's like the soaking time she put up.
So you really don't have to be too creative
with the video, but you could,
it would be a way to get it.
And it could be just a screenshot of the album cover
with like the title next to it.
It's just, just hold it there.
And then I would take like,
this is what I would do today.
I would say, if you've got,
and you guys have albums you already have out there,
I would just take every one of those episodes,
every one of those songs and turn it into an episode.
So if you've got 12 songs,
you've got the next 12 weeks of content finished,
make a little template and just literally swap out the title
and hit export, drop out the WAV file, hit export,
change it, change it.
You got to make 12 little videos.
You can schedule all of those this afternoon or this week.
And just get the first one up.
And then you can, so that it goes out consistently,
like every Monday to, you know, at a certain time.
And then just worry about like distributing it to YouTube
and then also maybe to Facebook.
You could take sections of the songs
and do TikTok and all that.
I wouldn't worry about TikTok at the moment,
just focus on YouTube and then don't worry.
Really just YouTube.
If you're just doing the music.
We keep coming back to it.
It's just really YouTube
and potentially you could do Instagram, IGTV.
I know that a lot of musicians on there that I follow
that post, you know, a three, four minutes song
on Instagram and people will listen.
Maybe what we can do,
sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, Bruce,
but maybe what we can do is just take some links
from those musicians and send them to you guys
or put it in the group.
So you can see an example of like what it is.
It really is just the song.
I'm going to pull some up right now.
Yeah, as a foundation,
that's what I would do is what Bruce is saying.
And then you have some room,
if you want to do like a story behind the song episode
where it is you and the studio is talking a little bit
about the story behind the songs.
But that's not today.
That's not until all the songs are up.
Schedule it.
Like, let's say every Monday that goes out.
So now you've got 12 weeks of content covered.
Then like literally just like pick up your phone
and just look at the phone.
Don't even hold it down or anything.
Just look at your phone and be like,
so we recorded this song.
This is what it's about.
This is what it did.
I really wanted people to know this.
And that becomes like behind the scenes thing
and just schedule that to give out as another episode,
you know, once a week.
So you could either do those on Thursdays
and the tracks go out on Mondays or something like that.
It's, and then you link from the one to the other.
So you're like,
if you want to listen to the original song,
like click here and you link back to the previous post
of the entire song.
And it was DistroKid as well.
So you guys, it's exactly the same thing.
I just got that.
Yeah, CD Baby did make a YouTube channel.
That's like the art, like an artist page on YouTube.
And so Brett James is on YouTube,
but we don't really have full control of that.
We did link, I think mine.
But that's where it got confusing and we're like, we just need to start over.
We had those things were posted when we did the first projects like a decade ago.
So this is new to be promoting it as the message in a digital media, we're used to, you know,
making a venue and selling a CD.
So there's much more opportunity to tell people about Jesus if you're digitally, you know,
out there.
So thank you guys for the work that you do.
That's great input.
Yeah.
And, and this is like, look at some of these reference things like this is what this video
looks like for three straight hours, right?
I've used that one when we do a prayer moms meeting.
So yeah, exactly.
And so think and there will be people look at the views.
Yeah.
17 million views.
He's probably making like, I don't want to put numbers on it, but between three and $10,000
a month on this video.
Okay.
Just for one song.
I feel like we just did the roadshow antiques roadshow.
Yeah.
17.
Yeah.
So there's some numbers you can work out.
I think it's like 10 and you can go calculate and there's websites that will actually tell
you how much they're making off this website.
See, look, look at the stats here.
1.5 million views in the last 30 days.
Okay.
And they posted this in 2017.
Wow.
We did do a couple of 10 minute songs that are with that in mind, but I told him you
could sit on one song for a couple hours and just record your encounter.
I think I watched this.
I think that's great.
And I would call it like, don't get creative with the naming and all that'd be like spontaneous
worship Tuesday, December 7th.
Well, no, it's more like what people would be searching for.
So like, if it like this one is literally three hours intermittent instrumental.
So even put Bethel music, because what he was wanting to do was obviously get people
what they were searching for.
So people are probably searching for long format, instrumental music, soaking.
And so what you can do after you put those songs up is then you can optimize them with
tags like through vid IQ.
So we have that in the roadmap.
And so that way you're optimizing what's already up and you're getting more views on what's
already up.
Because I could create a song every hour of every day.
And it's what I do.
Are you cautioning me not to put these things on YouTube until an official United States
copyright is certified certified because I've got 10,000 new things and it's not 2006 anymore.
I want to show everybody what I'm doing right now.
Yeah.
People want to see it.
And the more live and in sync you are with, Hey, this is what I'm doing this week.
People like love to follow along in that journey.
So I think as you're getting warmed up into that, like I would come up with a schedule
like Mondays, my, my old, not old, but you're like stuff that's already recorded.
You post those just in the same kind of format, album title, background image, something simple.
Those got out every Monday.
And then maybe like there's Wednesday worship hour or something that you do at 7 PM every
Wednesday or 10 AM, or you pick a time that works for you.
And then, you know, so you kind of like just put those two on the calendar and then you
just know at this time.
And honestly, like I would, so you could record it definitely, but I would also encourage
you to experiment with StreamYard and just do it live.
Like for those soaking sessions, just hit the, hit the go live button and then just,
you can hook it up into your, like have logic or whatever you're using or however your,
your audio interface.
And we can do that on another call, but hook that up to where it's all being fed into the
live stream.
And just one little camera that just sees you and the keyboard and go, and then let
people just like tune in and watch live.
And then when you're done with that, you can name it and tag it.
And now it's, it's up there.
You don't have to edit it or anything.
It just goes out.
So there's so many things you can do.
And I think that's what, like you said, the Antique Roadshow is a great analogy.
Like you guys are sitting on a goldmine of content, you don't have to go get creative.
And I think the one encouragement just when you were starting to speak that I heard was
like, there's no need to have, like, like if, if, if you guys are love worship leading
and it's easy to do the worship leading, like make worship content, right?
Don't feel like you have to go now be like the preacher and like be teaching, you know,
you can definitely do that if you feel like that's easy.
That's dangerous if you're not called to it.
Yeah.
Do what's easy.
And what, like.
Go where the flow is.
Like if you're, if it's easy just to flow and do that and you've got content,
like go with that first, because it's hard enough to get an episode on
YouTube and title it and tag it already.
Like you don't have to also try and be like, Oh, you know,
overdo it with the content.
And so, and you guys have some good stuff.
I think the music stuff will do really well.
So is copyright not as critical as I'm making it?
Yeah.
And so you can post it, get it out there.
Um, and you can, um, there are some things, again, I would look at
what a William Augusto, someone is doing.
He's just taking a track once he's done.
And I think he's just using the district kid or something like that to just feed
to it, like kind of after the fact and copyright it, but it's already out there.
And then, um, YouTube will, um, they won't get you on any, get any copyright
infringement because it doesn't have that song listed yet, but once it is,
then people won't be able to copy it.
Um, but I've also seen like artists that say, Hey, you can use my minutes of
soaking, just give me, just tag me in the, in the credits or the copyright.
And that's all I'm asking.
And I see right away.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you guys.
Thank you very much.
We've given you like six months of work, so we'll see.
Cool.
Something that is, um, I'm challenging myself with for next year, especially is,
and this is for all content creators, which is something it's like the gold
mine of content that we usually sit on.
And we don't think to post or publish or share, but it's to show your work.
So the things that you're doing a lot of, even behind the scenes stuff, like
people are very into that and eager and curious to like know your process.
Or so there's things that like, for instance, like Bruce is doing with like
sharing like a tech Tuesday, for instance, it's something he does all the time.
Maybe he talks to clients and answers the same question 40 times.
And he's like, Hey, I can go ahead and just make a YouTube tutorial once.
Then it's up there.
And then it's helping more than just my clients.
And it's like making my work more effective because I don't have to repeat
myself.
I can just share this tutorial.
Next time the question comes up, that's just one example.
But for you guys, like Brett's like, Hey, I'm in the studio.
I'm making music all the time.
Show your work.
Like go ahead.
And like, if you're thinking, Hey, people might be interested in this.
They probably are.
And the beats, like what you think is boring, like if you want to geek out
about patches and the audio routing and like the people will go crazy over
that stuff.
Like you can, the behind the scenes stuff.
Like, so here's how I got this one pad sound.
Well, I'm routing blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like the guy who did Paul, Timothy Mitchell, who did our intro and did
some scoring for us for kingdom messengers and did the original music.
He's doing some behind the scenes.
I'll send you some stuff that he's on his YouTube.
And he's literally going into the most, like how he soundproof his
studio on a budget, like how he.
Organized his desk.
So his keyboard is, you know, is sitting in a certain place that can
easily, you know, do stuff like that.
But I would, um, there's a book, if any of that sounds interesting
called show your work by Austin.
Uh, Cleon, I think I just dropped the link to it.
Um, you probably could read it in like a few hours.
It's a very short little book and it's designed specifically for
creatives and musicians and more artistic types.
I really appreciated it.
And it's just like, Oh, you don't have to go be like all original, just
kind of bring people along the journey.
Um, so anyway, that's plenty of.
Plenty of homework to go do.
Hopefully you didn't overwhelm you.
Cool.
Bruce Susie had a question in the chat.
Yeah, I saw that.
Let me go back up.
Um, I have my video on iMovie and I want to see how to move the text box.
Okay.
Do you have the movie open?
I do, but go ahead with other people first.
This is not a priority.
I mean, I, I can probably figure it out.
Maybe I also like to know just before I go looking, if it's even possible.
Uh, so yeah, go with other people.
You're you're you're next Susie.
And then we just have one quick question from Ben.
So you're good.
You go ahead.
Okay.
So I will do my share screen.
I hope, um, okay.
And while you're pulling that up, I saw a really quick question from Lynette, who
was asking where the tags were of what to use.
Um, we're just using vidIQ.
We'll tell you all the tags you could ever want when you go look at a video.
Um, and there's a, I think there's a video on that.
So, okay.
Um, let me just bring this up so I can see it really big.
Okay.
You have your title.
Okay.
So what I'm wanting to do is to read a verse and have the verse, you know, to the side.
So Yahoo, there's an advantage for me not having anything behind me and.
And anyway, I have set this over all the way over to the left, but I want to know, is it
even possible to move this text box wherever I want it to be?
It should be, yes.
So I'm not seeing the text there now.
Let's just see.
Okay, I'm seeing it on my screen.
Oh, weird.
Oh, so yeah, mine just has like a blank, like I don't see anything in that area.
Okay, mine just says in black letters, title text here.
Okay, maybe, okay.
So you should be able to grab it.
There's also this like crop tool up here.
Okay.
If you click on that, it may give you some more options as far as like moving it around.
So you want to have like the whole, so there it is, now I can see it.
I was clicked on the title itself instead of.
Okay, so now I've got this.
So now do the.
Yeah, if you click on the crop, sorry, you do need to select this.
So if you just click into that.
Okay, there we go.
Yep.
And you should be able to, have you tried to, of course, just clicking and dragging it down?
I don't know that I've gotten that far.
Okay.
So I guess what I had to do is click on it again or something to get it to stay there.
But right now, no, I'm not able to click and drag it.
Okay.
If you can click the text icon there, let's see what that's.
This.
Okay.
Oh, the text icon.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this just lets you position it.
So, and again, you want to put like a whole scripture.
So maybe like some text here and then like the reference or something.
I want to fill that up with text or whatever.
So it's actually like multiple lines of text.
I'm trying to think of the easiest way for you to do.
This is, this is, shouldn't be that.
Okay.
So that's not letting me do multiple lines on that.
So I think this may be honestly a little easier in DaVinci.
I know it's different than this, but I don't, I think you can do it.
Let me just find one real quick.
Unfortunately, for some reason, I don't have iMovie on this computer that I'm on.
So let me just find YouTube iMovie, multiple lines of text.
Okay.
So there's a tutorial here.
This is kind of old, but I will drop a link to this.
There is a way to do it.
And one of the ways to do it is to actually use like Keynote.
And you can actually make a slide.
And then you can actually bring it in as an image
and just place it exactly where you want.
So that's one way.
But let me, let me find a YouTube tutorial here.
And I will do what I did with it for Ben last week,
where I'll go and show you how to do it.
And I'll post the video into the chat right after this call.
And then I'll tag you in it so you can see it.
I just, if I had it pulled up where I could play with it for five minutes,
I could show you, I could figure it out.
But I didn't want to make you wait while I figured it out.
I think it's possible though.
It's Keynote.
I'm familiar with the word Canva, though I haven't worked with it enough.
But Keynote, is that kind of thing of making?
Actually, if you actually Canva is another option
to put build your scripture slides in there and then bring them over.
Let me like, yeah, I'll make, I'll come up with an option,
a simple solution for you.
And I'll make a quick video after this.
Great.
Thank you.
That's Ben.
I did it within like 15 minutes of ending the call.
So that's, it'll be quick.
This is a really simple one.
I know I've done it before, but I'm not figuring out how to,
sorry, how to trim it at the beginning.
And I know I've done it before, but I'm not seeing how to do it.
How to trim the beginning?
I know it's simple.
And I know I've done it, but I'm not seeing how to do it.
Typically you grab, I grab my pen,
the little like edges of the there where that black bar is.
So, and just drag that to the right.
Okay, that's trimming it right now.
So that's just trimming it and and it'll be ended there. Okay.
Yeah. So if you and same thing on the other on the like far
right side, that'll be the end. So while you're kind of pop, so
actually, you can see right there's where you start
speaking, right? Because there's like, it's, it's, there's just a
single line. And then right here, you see the audio. It has
like a little mountain there. That's your words coming in. So
I can tell you without even watching it, but you should
trim it to right there. Okay, I'm thinking should I trim it
like right here. So there's
every and this is for everybody here. You want to start with
like the first thing like today we're doing like right into it.
Don't know pauses or anything. No, no welcoming smile. Just
Yeah, because it'll just like just start because people you
want to grab people's attention really quick. And then yeah, you
can do this a smile at the end. And just be smiling when you're
like today, this is whatever beginning but those first five
seconds are so critical for everyone that we're watching. So
just you want to just be right into content and have something
like kind of the punchline of what you're going to talk about
in those first five to 10 seconds.
So just so just practicing here as I am doing this. That is
actually removed now, right?
Yeah, and you can get it back by dragging it the other left. If
you drag it left, it'll bring it back. So it's not gone. And
the other way you can do it is you can hover over here. And
right and then right click or you Yeah, what you're doing is
great.
And just practice. Okay, so right click.
And if you kind of move your cursor up to the video portion
and then right click, I think you can say split.
It's a split clip. I don't know why. Oh, because the play head.
So this play head right here. Just drag that light gray bar.
Or just hit the spacebar and just hit like it'll be the play
button. And just then hit the spacebar again to pause it. So
let that gray bar get to about right there. And then pause it.
Yeah, I'm gonna practice here.
Yeah, and you can come back and watch this if now if you right
click on it. Right, if you click over around about there,
and right click, say to see how it says split at split clip.
Yeah, right there, split clip. And that will just take it to
two clips. And then you can just now you can click on this one
and hit the Delete key and it will delete it all the way.
Okay, just do delete.
Yep. So that would be more like if you had a sentence, you
didn't want to be in there anymore. Let's say you wanted to
like, take out from this section to that section, but you need
this piece, and you need that piece, you could split it, split
it and then delete that middle part and kind of put them
together. Okay, so I'm giving you like multiple ways to do the
same thing. But the way you were dragging the left sidebar is
also trimming it just for the intro, like that is that's a
great way to just quickly trim the intro.
So as I'm, I'm clicking on this now, and it's not highlighting.
So it should be highlighted already. It looks like it's
okay, so it is. Okay. Yeah. When I hit delete. Ah, okay. Okay.
Got it. And you still could drag it in just a little bit more to
that right there. But just easing into it. Okay. Yep. Okay.
I think that that's what I okay. And you're smiling right there.
So it works. Um, okay. So I know, I'll watch this again.
You don't have to repeat it. Okay. Thank you. That's great.
And I will look at the text, give you a tech solution in a
second, because I know, I'm sure other people are going to want
to put scriptures in there. And I know about half of our people
use iMovie. So that's worth it. Cool. Thank you. Awesome. And I
will, I'm not seeing how to Oh, there it is. Stop share.
There you go. Cool. And I know, Amy, you're hanging out. Did you
have any questions for us? And then I'll come over to Ben, I
really think I'm just now coming back into the atmosphere after
being gone for a couple of weeks. And so I'm kind of
thinking I'll be able to even know what I need to ask on
Thursday. And then I can do a little form.
So on Thursday, so but we'll see.
There's no call on Thursday. Okay, next Tuesday. Are there
not going to be Thursday calls?
Just the just the Tuesday. Okay, we can all be on one call kind
of all see each other a little bit more. Also, we had like,
three or four people on each one. And so it just Yeah, okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I missed all of that, so.
Amy, I've been praying for you.
I just want you to know you've been in our prayers.
I'm so glad to see your face.
I know it's been a lot,
but know that you're still in our prayers
all through this holiday season.
You can record my, I mean, pray for my recording today
because it's my recording day.
And for those that don't know,
I just lost my mother unexpectedly, but she was 94.
But still, so anyway, two weeks ago,
the Lord gave me kind of an out of nowhere
for Thanksgiving message
and just in gathering the family of God,
under Psalm 100 to pray
for those that are walking through loss.
And so my episodes are going on,
but it's, you know, I have a heartfelt word
for those that are walking through this month,
you know, with recent loss.
And so a couple of the times I've done,
been doing just fine and the tears start coming.
So, and I really don't want to cry during my episode.
So you all can pray for me on that
because I'm set up for it today.
Okay, we'll definitely be praying.
I'm so thankful for the Lord.
Thank you.
Has he's gone before you with even giving you the money?
Oh, so gone before me.
I'm just so, I mean, just bubbling over
with Thanksgiving and peace and joy,
but I just, I've never grieved my mama before.
So, you know, you don't know when the tears are gonna come
and I know they need to, so.
Yeah, and don't be afraid if that,
if it happens for that to happen, even as you record.
I did an episode the night that, I mean,
I was, it was like the night before it needed to go out
and it was the night we found out
that my friends lost their daughter to cancer.
And, you know, the tears just had to kind of flow
in the middle of it, but I feel like it was authentic.
It was real.
And sometimes it's just, I left it in.
Yeah, I felt like it was,
I knew that I probably wasn't gonna be able
to record it without it, let's put it that way.
And as much as I don't love crying in front of people,
there's something, you know, in our grief,
and because we grieve with hope,
which the world doesn't, can't do,
they don't have access to that.
So there's something about allowing people
to see us grieve with that hope
that I think is needed and necessary sometimes.
So obviously be led by the Holy Spirit today,
but don't feel like it has to be headed out.
Well, thank you, yes.
Yeah, I did leave that option open for me.
So thank you, I appreciate that.
Well, we love you, Amy.
Well, I love y'all, it's good to be back with you.
And I learned a lot today, just, you know,
I get to gather, I like coming for the gathering that I do.
So thank y'all.
Good, good.
Awesome.
Well, cool, yeah.
Ben, you had a last question here, I think,
and then we'll wrap up.
You guys are welcome to stay as long.
Go ahead, yeah.
Okay, so should I go first?
Sure, did someone else have a question?
I think Mary has another question.
Okay, yeah, well, since you're unmuted,
go for it real quick, and then we'll go.
If you just could spend a minute,
a word or two on the domain thing on Tri-Social.
I just didn't get it.
Can I use a domain that I have a website on?
Like I have my website, and can I use that,
or do I need to create a subdomain?
If you wanna use, yeah, basically a subdomain
is the way to go.
So you could say like watch.mydomain,
or members, or something like that, or access.
So we have kingdommessengerworkshop.com.
It's like our ClickFunnels site.
And then if you go to access.kingdommessengerworkshop.com,
that is where the Tribe site sits.
Okay, okay, and I would do that
on the site of the domain provider, right?
Yeah, so you can create a subdomain,
and then you would point it.
First, you need to just email it to us
and tell us what domain you wanna use.
We have to register it on our side,
and then we will give you the CNAME record
that you need to use.
And then, yeah, absolutely.
Awesome, thank you.
And maybe you can answer that in the group.
What software would you recommend for screen recording
on a PC?
On a PC?
Honestly, like-
the camera on a little like a window and and kind of do some mock ups later on with a little bit cutting and maybe some kind of
Little remarks or arrows or so afterwards.
Yeah, so loom.com l o m
Yeah, is that good.
It's pretty good.
On Mac, I have a thing called clean shot pro x, which is what I use. So, but you have to be on a Mac, I think, for it. So
And I don't think I'm checking if that is a PC because at some point they were making. No, I think it's just Mac. The only reason that's different is because it's kind of like a one time you buy the software, then use habit.
Whereas loom. There's a free plan, but you can also do there's some subscriptions as well because
Or and so it's great for little demonstration videos and like you're saying, with a little circle of the person talking and there's a Chrome extension for it. So it's easy to just quickly record something the free option OBS is is a great option.
As well.
Because, and I've actually been using that more and more. We've been using OBS to record all of Lindsay's postures for the last six months, I'd say, okay.
It's a, it's just great. It's free. The link is right.
Here OBS project.com
Yeah, I have OBS just
Yeah.
Seems to be very complicated and the afterwards, you know, the kind of cutting and a little bit kind of the rework with arrows or highlighting and stuff like that.
So you do. Yeah.
It's, um, so yeah, there's, I was actually thinking of making a
Tech Tuesday about this because I think people the how we record each of each of these episodes very nice because you can just on the computer hit start
And then what's going to the camera and the mic and everything kind of feeds into OBS and then when she's done, she can immediately just watch it back on the computer and see if it worked.
But yeah, and what I'll do is I probably put that on the list to make a video of that because it's that I have a very, very clean, simple setup like
This is me with full screen. This is me with me in the small and a, you know, my computer screen showing what's going on.
And I don't really, I don't really get too crazy with like presets and settings and stuff. But yeah.
That would be helpful. And just another one for transcription of audios or videos. What would you recommend
So it's not cheap, but we use rev.com for everything.
It's like $1 25 per minute. So it's for short episodes. It's not bad. But if you have an hour long training. I mean that 100 bucks quickly so
Otter OTT er.ai is what other some people have used
I
I haven't been able to get that to work as well.
When I've tested it, but the captioning on rev.com is very, very good. They do have a human that goes through and actually transcribes it
And so, and they do have one that's like an automated one, which is a little bit more automated but YouTube will also generate captions automatically and you can just download them from there. Where were you trying to add captions.
Yeah, basically for trainings. So, you know, that we could put subtitles or and also for writing as I'm writing very slow. So I thought I'd rather record an audio and have a transcript.
Okay, so I think Otter would be great for that where it's just using a batch of text to be cut, you know, added
Because then you can read through it and edit it if there's a mistake.
Yeah, but it's free to get. Go ahead and get the like kind of started start the transcription rev is very specific like to having time codes for a video so that this it's having text kind of come up as subtitles, while you're talking
Yeah, cool. Okay. Hey, thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
No problem. So I owe you a video on OBS, which will probably be a tech Tuesday and then I owe Susie an iMovie
I'm going to add it real quick to my list.
Okay.
Thank you. Good.
Okay.
Thank you. Good.
Okay, did Mary have a question.
Do you have another one.
Very quick. What the when I first met you. The first thing I looked at was anchor and now I'm forgetting because of the training that you did.
Anchor would automatically shoot everything out.
And now I understand the steps I would need to take.
But my question is about Anchor itself.
Do people go to Anchor to find podcasts
or is that just the creator
and it gets shot out from there?
Yeah, good question.
So it's not really a, I mean, you can go there.
I don't think, that's not where people go.
People to go find a podcast,
they will go to their Apple Podcast app on their phone
and they'll search for something there.
And that's where the people,
that's where you're gonna get discovered
would be on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify.
Or Google Play, if people have Android.
Thank you, that's what I was wondering.
I think, I don't hear people going to Anchor.
No one's ever heard of Anchor.
Just the cool content creators like you guys
know what Anchor is.
But yeah, everybody knows what a podcast is
and people typically have their favorite podcast platform.
Most time it's Apple, Google or Spotify
and there's others, but those are the main ones.
Anchor is just the hub that's helping you distribute it
from one place to all those places, yeah.
It's the house.
You go to the house and it goes out from there, okay.
Yeah, cool.
And then I just saw that Reva had one quick question
about uploading videos on Facebook in the chat
about the standard definition, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was just, when it uploads, when I see playback,
it looked grainy and I got afraid
that I did something wrong in the upload.
But it's just a playback setting,
but it always goes back to standard definition.
I was wondering if there's a way to make it
stay on the high definition.
And is it doing that for like all videos
on your computer that you watch?
I only am noticing it on mine.
That's why I got concerned.
Oh, I see.
So it could be that, let me take a look here.
See, even if I just left the window
and it already went back and I have to go into settings
on that video for the quality to be high def.
Otherwise it looks like something's wrong.
Yeah, so, yeah, mine, so 720 is the highest
will go on Facebook.
There's no 1080p.
So that's one downside to Facebook,
whereas YouTube will be full HD.
So yeah, I'm looking at this video of me
from last thing here.
So if I, so down at the bottom, yeah,
it's just generally by default, it's set to auto,
which means that it'll look at how fast your internet is
and then it will scale it back to what makes sense.
But if I force it to 720, I don't think it saves on mine.
Let me just refresh and see if it actually saves.
It's probably gonna bounce back to auto
because it's Facebook.
Okay, yeah, perfect.
So, yep, they went back to auto.
That's not me then, that's just them.
And then I have one other question about Facebook.
Is there a, the creator page,
have they made changes recently?
I felt like when I first went in there,
it looks different now
and I can never do that creator page on my phone.
That's right, you have to do that in on the desktop.
There's not a computer.
Yeah, it's on desktop.
There's an app for it if you wanna post,
but generally if you're posting content.
Well, to be able to change the thumbnail, right?
Once you upload a video,
then you wanna add your thumbnail
and I have a different set of thumbnails
for the Facebook than the YouTube.
Yeah, and I would go like, you go to the top here,
you scroll down, quick way to get to it.
It's under professional creator studio.
Okay.
It should be pretty much the same.
They have changed a few little things,
like for Instagram, it's just little things,
but that used to be called IGTV and now it's IG video.
But generally everything is mostly in the same place.
Have you used the uploading through Facebook
to go to Instagram?
Oh yeah, we only do it that way.
So even for your, like, I've done that with texts,
like I'll do like a scripture verse that's for the week,
but I haven't done that with video.
Can I do that with video?
Both, yeah.
So this one, see, this is a Instagram feed.
So I can actually post a posture
and I can do a photo right in here.
So my scripture photo.
Yeah.
And what's cool about this is you can schedule it
to go out, right?
So you can kind of forget about it.
Yeah.
And then you can just post it.
To go out, right?
So you can kind of forget about it.
Yes.
And it will just go out at a certain time.
And then here you just choose video
and you can see the feed is shorter than 60 seconds.
video is 60 seconds to, it's actually up to 60 minutes
is the total, is I think is the limit.
So if you click on that,
then it'll actually let you upload a video
and that's where you could take your whole 10 minute episode
and upload it straight in here.
Okay, so the ones that are already on Facebook,
can I, after the fact of doing that,
cause I didn't do it at the same time,
can I still send that to Instagram or?
You can, yeah, just go, it's not gonna,
you can't backdate it to the date you went out,
but you can just put, I'll just put them up there, yeah.
Definitely get it caught up
and just do it all in one batch now,
cause you have the least amount of people
following you right now.
And then don't wait till there's like,
you know, hundreds or thousands of people following
to then have like 10 videos of you going back and back.
Binge watch, binge watch Jesus.
Just to clarify that too,
you'd be uploading that, like the file again,
you wouldn't like be sharing from Facebook to Instagram.
If that makes sense,
you'd be uploading the file natively, yeah, on that.
But you can use Creator Studio to do all that.
Okay, thank you guys.
Good, and we, there is a video,
I'll drop it in the chat here.
So we have, and if you haven't looked at the roadmap now,
like we did rebuild the roadmap
when we did this last challenge.
So if you go to roadmap now,
oh, come on, load, get back.
Go to roadmap, let's try that again.
And this is like a week two thing.
So you can see like week one, we're launching,
week two is add Facebook and Instagram,
writing apps, optimizing posts.
So just kind of, if you're wondering
where to get plugged back in and what to focus on,
just start at the beginning of this
and kind of work way forward.
It was like a little video for me.
So apparently I only own this one shirt
and then you can kind of go through the checklist here.
And one of these videos is how to upload
and schedule videos with Creator Studio.
So everything I just showed you right there
is on that video.
Awesome, thank you guys.
Awesome guys, cool.
All right, well, it's good hanging out with you
at this new time.
It is actually a lot of fun to have more of you
on the call and we all get to see each other.
So have a great rest of your week
and we will see you guys next.
I'll get you guys the other videos
that I promised for Ben and Susie.
Bye guys.
