I'm going to share my screen.
Hi everybody.
We are coming into the room.
Hey everybody.
Hello, hello, hello.
Hi Susie.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm good.
How was the whole TikTok challenge?
I don't know if you got to see the video.
Talk about perfect timing for me.
The Lord has been placing on my heart about getting on to TikTok.
I'm like, okay, God, I got it.
It is perfect timing.
I don't remember if I received the notification about the TikTok,
or if I just set it aside for a while.
How are we notified about that?
It was actually on the main community page.
It was on that page.
It may have also come to your e-mail.
I'm not sure.
I viewed it on the community page.
It was on that page.
That is where I saw the video.
When was that challenge?
It is going to start.
It starts next Wednesday.
It is next week the challenge starts.
We have time.
Is that the regular challenge that we all started with?
Or is that a TikTok challenge?
The TikTok challenge is different.
The whole community is going to be involved in this.
You can jump in.
Bruce and Lindsay and some guests that they will have,
they are going to help us get to 1,000 views.
1,000 people seeing our message.
That is the challenge.
It is specifically for the TikTok platform.
It is exciting.
It is different for me.
I look so stuck in YouTube.
It will be different for me.
It will be fun.
I'm going to go ahead and share my screen.
Hey Monica,
good to see you.
How are you doing Monica?
Doing well.
I checked out your video
on the carousel.
I learned so much.
Every time I see your videos,
I think it is helpful.
When you can focus on the things
that boost your visibility the most,
it is good to focus on those few things,
but the ones that are the most effective.
That makes perfect sense.
Even your tips at the end,
what can you offer the value
that you can offer your audience.
Thank you.
Of course.
Right now,
we have Bruce.
I will give you over to Bruce.
Thank you.
We are getting handed down for a nap.
We decided to sync up
with our 3 p.m.
session.
We had a couple quick announcements.
You guys were talking about the TikTok challenge.
It is totally new.
We did a launch workshop.
I did a launch workshop last year.
We did four of those workshops
throughout the year.
Those were the same content.
I'm just kind of going live with their kingdom channel.
So this is going to be our first time we're kind of changed to a totally
different type of, um, format.
And we're going to just do a challenge on, uh, for tech talks.
So we're going to just focus on, you know, tick tock for, for, uh, five days.
Um, so it's going to be going live every day for an hour to 90
minutes, um, for about five days.
So starting Wednesday, we'll do Thursday, Friday, Saturday, take a break for
Sunday, and then be back on Monday.
Um, so we have a lot of cool things planned.
It's going to be, um, me and Lindsay.
And then we've also got Isaac Holt, who is running Lindsay's
tick-tock channel, as well as like.
Five or six other huge Christian organizations.
He runs their tick-tock.
Um, and so we've been planning some stuff, spend an hour with him this
morning, just sort of like scoping out all the content.
So it's going to be kind of all new content.
So even though we've done some training for you guys in the members, we're
going to try and do some fresh training.
Um, so it'll be almost like a mini course on tick-tock.
Um, and the goal for the whole thing is to get a thousand views, get your
first thousand views within five days, which sounds crazy if you're
coming from like from YouTube world, you know, that's actually
very hard to do on YouTube.
Um, but on tick-tock.
You can post three or four little 60 second clips and get a thousand
if, and if you tag it correctly.
So working on it, but yeah, let me just move the dog.
How's it going?
All right.
Hey everyone.
Move that a bit.
It's going to, um, so tick-tock and then, so it was going to mention to you guys
as well, like there is, if you're new, um, to us, like we have a partner
program that's like part of this membership thing, so you can go get a
link if you want to help promote the challenge, um, and we're doing
something really cool this time.
So, um, a hundred percent of all of the, um, ticket revenue that comes
in from the challenge, we're going to be donating a hundred percent of
that to God behind bars, which is helping get, um, content and it's,
they help stream like sermons and worship services into prisons and
then they load those tablets with sermons, worship sessions, kingdom
messenger content type stuff, um, so, and Isaac Holt is on their team.
So we're going to, we decided to do that with the ticket
revenue for challenge.
So a hundred percent of all of that is going to God behind bars.
So what that means is an affiliate is that what typically you would get as
your affiliate, um, ticket revenue is going to go to God behind bars.
But when people, if people that you bring into the challenge by the big
ticket offer, you will get, um, a commission off of that.
Yeah.
So the coaching program that we offer, the membership that we offer at the end
and we've changed the pricing, um, as well.
So, um, the, we will be offering like membership, like what you guys have,
but it will be for $5,000.
So every single one of you got it for a lot less than that.
Yeah.
Um, and so we've added it.
So it's going to be about 10%, I think, for members here.
Um, so you actually get, it's actually gonna be more profitable for you
guys, if you want to help promote it.
So, so you won't get the ticket revenue like you typically do,
cause we're donating that, but you will still get the commission
off of that big ticket offer.
Anyone that you bring in.
So we'll do some more on that.
Um, there is, um, another Facebook group cause you haven't, don't have
enough groups that you're in yet.
Um, which just as just for partners.
And so I'll do some updates and there's some training on here on
like where to go to get your link.
Um, the, the challenge is not live yet.
This was all, this was all kind of a teaser.
We wanted our community kind of to know first, you guys know first, and
then we're going to go public with it.
So you're welcome to join that.
I'll drop a link to that in the chat here, just so you guys have it.
Um, and you'll automatically get approved because you're a
member, um, with the partner.
So you'll request access to the group and you'll immediately get in.
Um, and it's totally voluntary.
You don't have to do this at all.
It's just something we do is you guys can get kickbacks for like the first
time we did this, like we paid out like about $8,000 to partners,
like just for one challenge.
So there's a slice of that, but put back into gear or whatever.
Yeah.
Your channel or whatever you want to do it on.
So, um, so that was the second announcement.
What was the third one?
Um, that was pretty much it.
I mean, we were, yeah.
I mean, we can talk about the numbers if you did, or you can leave that.
We'll leave that till the end.
Cause we got, people got questions.
So let's get into it.
Okay.
So Marvin was first in line and her question was, Hey Susie, um, you had
dropped your intro into the Facebook group.
So we watched that.
Okay.
First of all, and if you guys need any reference, Susie put it in the
Facebook group because you see what we're talking about.
I thought it was an excellent intro, except I think it's too
long because it's a minute long.
And, and I just want to make sure that you're planning on putting
this in front of every video, right?
This is going to be like your intro that you put in front of every episode.
Yeah. So yeah, I was looking at that. So I've got a bit that was before where you saw the
image and that was just introducing this episode. And then where you saw the image, that's what
I plan on repeating. Okay. So just what gets into the image. So it's not a minute long.
Well, if you count the beginning of this is what this episode is going to be like.
Yeah. Here's what I loved from the intro that I thought would be a great intro. I think it
was within a 15 second. I tried to time it. And I think it would be great for the beginning of
every episode is when you start, when you introduce who you are and you say,
hi, I'm Susie Marvin. And then you talk about how you're exploring the Greek. The way that you said
it, I thought was really approachable because you said, I'm not teaching Greek, but we're
exploring Greek. And you talked about how the Greek enlightened your journey with how you belong
to Jesus. Like that part I thought was a perfect intro. Okay. Everything else was great, but it
just was too long. So if you have to get to the meat of it and I thought it was a great way to
introduce really everything that you're doing and it would be a good generic for lack of a better
term episode or should evergreen or whatever. I mean, a intro for all your episodes. So I'm
going to put a comment in the, I just wanted to verbally explain, but I'm going to put a comment
of like, Hey, start here and end here. I think it was about 15 seconds, which is still a pretty long
intro. Um, I think it's better to get, if you can get under 10 seconds, just because think about it,
people are going to be listening to this every time they play an episode of yours, but I think
it's a great, just the way that you talked about, you know, Hey, I'm Susie Marvin. I, you know,
this is why I love the Greek. I don't teach the Greek, but I do explore it. And I thought that
was a perfect way of talk about what you're doing for each episode. Okay, great. Well,
and I really, really appreciate all of you guys's input to, to sharpen that.
Do I need to say I'm Susie Marvin? You don't have to, but I think that it just the way that it
flowed from what I was pulling out of your, I mean, you could literally edit it out if you
didn't want to reshoot it. Um, or even I'm Susie. I mean, I think it's nice to introduce
who you are because again, like favors in the face and you're this, you're not like a talking
head, you're a person and you're kind of inviting people into the journey with you. So I think it's
totally fine to say I'm Susie Marvin. I typically don't, and I know you guys have heard me say this.
I don't love it when we just start by saying who we are, but I thought because of you just jumped
into it that I thought it was okay. The way that it flowed. Like, I don't feel like it, you didn't
take a lot of time to say, Hey, I'm Susie. And then this is what I'm doing. So I think it's fine
to start there. Um, typically I would say, start talking about the podcast first, but I thought it
was a good flow. And what I'll do is I'll, cause I want you to, I don't want you to like get caught
up on having to reshoot it. I think you can use it as is by clipping it up and then you can refine
it later. If you want to reshoot it, make it a little shorter, make it a little succinct, maybe
take out the Susie Marvin part or put that at the end. So there's ways that you can tweak it. But
I thought it was, it was great. And I was very encouraged because I feel like you took,
I know you've really struggled with, how do I talk about what it is that I'm doing? I think
you did a great job. Great. Thank you. So would you put that at the beginning before the, this is
what the, this episode is about? So what I like to do, if you see like what I do with postures,
I kind of have a brief, this is what the episode's about. Then we go into the intro and then we start
talking about the episode. So if you can swing that from an editing perspective, that's the
best way to do it is because you, again, that first 15 seconds is really key for people. So
it's always nice if they say they've clicked on something like, Hey, Susie's talking about
the joy of the Lord. I'm just using that as an example. And then they click and you say,
say something about the joy of the Lord. It just helps people know like, okay, she's going to
deliver on what I think that I just clicked on. What people do is sometimes they get lost. They,
they get bored because someone starts off and says, Hey, I'm so-and-so and I live in so-and-so
and you know, it's raining outside. It's like, no, people want the content.
They don't want to necessarily like have to wait a minute and to get into the content.
So, you know, you're talking about your who, and you know, so I have this problem that I've,
this is an ongoing thing. And I, do I have to, you know, like get people into what are
we talking about? So at the very beginning, I don't know if you remember at the very beginning
of what I sent you, I said, okay, in this episode, we're looking at how for now is translated,
same mind and like-minded. So that would mean nothing to somebody who is just popping onto it.
But for somebody who knows about it, they're saying, okay, that's what we're talking about.
So that's what I had before. What would now be my.
true. But I don't know if, you know, that's even appropriate.
I mean, I almost feel like just for example, this specific
episode, again, you're gonna have to get creative with each
one, think about that title. And you want to think about it from
a from a standpoint of is this clickable? Or is this what
people are searching for? So a clickable title for you could be
does mind in quotes mean the same thing in the Greek that it
does in English question mark, or something like that, like
does mind in the New Testament, Greek, or biblical Greek or
whatever, you know, so people know you're talking about the
Bible mean the same thing, question mark, you're kind of
posing a question, something that people might find
interesting. And then when you jump into when they click, you
say what you said, because you say something about, if I
remember correctly, you said, you know, like minded means
actually center or core. And that's what we're going to be
diving into this episode, then you hit the Hey, I'm Susie
Marvin intro, and then you go into the episode itself.
Okay.
Because you're wanting you, you know, versus it versus just
having the Greek word in the title, which might not mean
anything to anyone, it's really you're getting into that second
layer of the interesting, like why you're talking about this in
the first place, you're not just talking about the Greek, because
you're not teaching Greek to your point, but you're
exploring the meaning of it. And so I feel like the hook there is
something around the fact that mind doesn't mean mind like we
think it does. Or like the mind blowing truth about the New
Testament word, the New Testament Greek use of mind or
something like that. You want to get a little bit more creative
with those titles so that people want to click on it and find out
more.
Okay, so I guess title came across that was more of a
working title for me. I
always change the title.
Okay, so the thumbnail, yeah, the thumbnail, I probably need
to not say for net. Oh, in the thumbnail.
No, you want to say something, something clickable. Like, the
thumbnail could be an abbreviation even of your title
or something that speaks to your title, because people see the
thumbnail, like with the title when you're like scrolling
through. So like, the title could mean the thumbnail could
even be something like, you're not going to believe this mind
blowing truth about the Greek or something like that. Okay, it's
it's a little bit, it's a little bit more.
This, this meaning will blow your mind.
Yeah, this Greek meaning of the word will blow your mind. You
want to think more something that like complements the title,
but it's very clickable and draws people in.
My, my other thing is that, oh, like minded sometimes is our
mind. And sometimes it is our center, our core. So you know,
it's not like, oh, mind is never mind. You know, mind is a
quarter of the time our core. So it gets it gets caught. I'm
right now I'm kind of at a place where I would be fine for this
just be an ongoing thing that I introduced people to and they
took it from beginning to end. And then I'm not trying to grab
somebody's attention. But that's just me being resistant right
now.
Yeah, you need to grab people's attention because otherwise,
they don't know this amazing truth that you're sharing. So
that's why we utilize things like that. This is the
leveraging part of the digital landscape, we utilize the tools
that are there, play the game a bit, so to speak, work with the
algorithms, don't curse them, right. And then allow the Holy
Spirit to breathe his favor on it. So it goes, which I want to
share a fun story with you guys about that happening for me and
my my channel this past week. But yeah, the good news is Susie
that all the things that you're like, hey, but it could mean
this, or it could mean that those are just different
episodes, you're bringing people along for the journey. And
you're giving them a little bit of a bite sized piece each time
so it's easy for them to digest and they want to come back for
more. Yeah, yeah. And you're doing a great job. So keep
going.
Okay, thank you.
We've got sunlight coming into the studio.
So, Ben is next.
Okay. Hey, Ben, you're next. You're next in line.
And Ben actually had two questions. One from last week,
which I don't think we got to about a page. Thanks for your
wife's channel. And then like an ad account. And then you had
some audio questions.
Yeah. So I almost forgot about that other question I had. Sorry
about that. I'm still confused about the ad account or she has
a page when I click on the page that says this page has not an
ad account. But she was running ads on her account. But was it
then to her personal? So is there some training how to set
that up correctly? And I was I was I was looking for some
information. I even had a call this with Facebook, the offer
some you know some calls and this guy couldn't tell me either he was trying to sell me something
you know kind of oh this is this doesn't it doesn't make sense sorry so i was wondering you
know what is the right way what you want to do is you basically want to have a page um a business
page basically connected to her instagram page or instagram professional profile however you call
that so that we can manage it both from one from you know from the business um how you call that
the uh come on this business site or suit i'm not sure how to yeah so so all you need to do
i think sounds like is just getting making sure you've got a business manager account
set up um once you have that you should be able to see kind of a zoomed out version of everything
that's going on so you can see all your pages listed out you can see there's like a kingdom
messenger page here but then there's also like all your ad accounts and so if you you could have
your like this is my personal ad account these are like other ad accounts we have and right from
this you can actually just create a brand new ad account so you can just name it you know with her
name on it and you can just kind of keep it all separate um and you can kind of go through and
just add things one at a time like you can add your instagram it'll just have you like sign into
your instagram that'll add it um and and so forth and so i would try to get it set up here and we
can definitely take a look at that if you want to give it a shot and then look we can look at it
next tuesday um or you know at the end of this call if you want to uh if you have any questions
but this this is kind of where all the magic happens yeah that would be great because i'm
still confused if i have set that up i will share a link like so this is the business facebook
manager um account page so if you click on this it's just business.facebook.com settings
it should take you into this view um that's that's really good thank you um because what i would like
to do is kind of add myself as a manager so that i don't have to switch accounts all the times
right that i have to sign out of mine and sign into hers and so i can annoying you don't want
to do that so that's what i would like to do is nothing really fancy and i think that should be
possible but i couldn't find any good training about it that's kind of searching around so you
could get that going that would be great cool sounds good yeah we can
sorry we will make a note i think um we should probably create a short video just on setting up
facebook business manager i think we briefly touch on it in one of the facebook ad trainings but
it's probably like worth a separate tutorial um on that so well it could be that i just didn't
find it right if you have it um then i would be really glad if you could direct me to it
but basically the basics how do i set it up from ground up and really connect it to to instagram
well and that would be helpful yeah and the other question was um what tool or would you recommend
to cut and convert audio files yeah i think um so the best like for a pc right you're on pc
yes um so audacity if you tried that yet no what's the name um i'll share screen and i'll drop
the link um thank you so yeah audacity team.org is the link it's an open it's free oh yeah yeah
yeah and it actually works for mac as well as windows i guess so you can use it on both but
if you're on a mac garage band is also much easier to use um but it's open source so it's kind of
like obs as well we're a little bit more techie but it does do all the things you need it to do
um so there's there's lots of other options i mean if you want to go all the premiere
or adobe products have some some audio editing options as well but this is a great free one
again this is just for editing audio so if you guys are doing editing video it's not going to
help no yeah it basically needed right my wife is doing some team meetings and we download the audio
file um and then sometimes we need to cut it a little later so or convert it from the m4
a file format to mp3
yeah that that will do it um thank you i'll give that a shot for sure yeah thank you cool um okay
so we had um and brendan we're on yeah we have those are the only ones that he left in line
um yeah lee and brendan you guys want to i think uh look at your tiktok audience and how to improve
instagram channel good news we're getting
to spend five straight days on TikTok. That's exciting. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah, so I'm trying
to get the lighting right. So thanks for your feedback on the lighting. It's still an issue
with the new home. Which way? If you turned around and faced the window, it would be bright.
Yeah, I did. And then I looked like an innocent by God.
Um, on one of their videos, and I made a comment about it. Yeah. Did you see Bruce?
Okay, yeah. Well, she said she was still working on it.
I hear you, Bruce. I saw that. And we were in here at 3pm. And it was really good. No, it was good.
But Instagram. I think the first thing I don't like I loved Monica, thanks for what you posted.
Yes. I watched what you posted. And it was really helpful. So many changes. And then I saw,
I looked at my Facebook page, and I probably don't fully understand reels. And I've got a lot of
probably research to do and reading all those little tips that you've got.
But I think that when I look at mine, it's slightly personal and funny and cute,
but it's also business. So I think it's a bit of a mix. And that hasn't shifted much at all.
Hello, little cat.
Cool, I'm just pulling up your account here. So did you want to specifically look at Instagram?
Yeah, to start with, because TikTok is just about engaging. And I think that'll be covered off
with you guys in that five day challenge, to be honest.
Yeah, I mean, you guys are
and you're doing great. You have 1000 followers on TikTok.
Just on TikTok. So this is all, just keep doing what you're doing.
This was the good lighting there. That was awesome.
Look at this one at 10,000 views. That's awesome.
Very cool.
Yeah, that's because you and Lindsay said like, you know, spend some quality time,
not just like 10 seconds, which I do. Like I'm spontaneous.
So like, yeah, we spend more time on that.
Brendan loved that because he got to get planned.
Yeah, that's awesome.
But I think that there's all these followers and they're fantastic.
But I think I'm gonna, I'd love to learn in that time.
And I'll wait for it, of course, to learn how to engage with them
because I do little polls here and there.
But yeah, I think engaging them and what you said, Lindsay, yesterday,
like you've got an audience listening to you.
What do you want to tell them?
What do you want them to know? Like thinking how to engage that, yeah, community.
And I know that we'll dive more into it during the challenge.
But the thing about TikTok is I feel like it is a bit of a wild west
when it comes to the landscape.
But it does lend itself to a lot of freedom and a lot of trying things.
And like, so just for a quick example,
like people are usually finding your content as they scroll.
They're not necessarily going to your profile
and looking at your profile in its entirety.
So like sometimes we'll do that with like Facebook,
like we'll go to someone's page and kind of scroll through post
or even Instagram that's becoming a little bit less
because they've added reels.
And so it's a little bit more scrollable.
But like, you know, you go to someone's Instagram
and you kind of look at their profile and you go through different posts.
But TikTok is like very driven by the next thing, the next post.
And so you mentioned, you know, it's a little bit of business.
It's a little bit of my fun personality.
And that type of stuff does really well on TikTok.
Because TikTok is one of those platforms that, you know,
I mean, we say it's not only dance videos,
but there's dance videos, right?
And there's people that are actually utilizing
like a popular sound or a popular dance.
They're like putting like serious content to it, right?
And they're like educating people while they're like dancing
and like throwing up text everywhere.
Like you don't have to do that if that's not your personality.
But that's the kind of stuff does go do well.
So you're able to kind of give the life advice
and share kind of your message behind Thrive Peer Coaching,
but also doing it in a fun way.
So for instance, like I saw the one that had the 10,000 views
where you're talking about like listen to the youth,
but it's you guys kind of bouncing
into the camera shot, right?
And it's a little bit fun and bouncy.
It's not just like you sitting there and talking.
Yeah.
So I feel like, so it's all that to say to encourage you,
like I think you're the perfect person to take on TikTok
because it's got that mix.
Yeah, I think that's fine.
And I think don't,
one thing you don't want to do on TikTok specifically
and same with, so when we say TikTok,
we're also talking about Instagram Reels over here as well.
So it's the same kind of content.
Basically these two platforms are also kind of outside
of that regular feed kind of mentality.
So don't worry too much like that you have to kind of sequence
and kind of tell a story from one episode to the next.
It can be totally separate and kind of stand on its own.
Same thing with the Reels.
And we could tell a quick story about Reels.
Oh yeah.
So like, um, so there's definitely things changing on Instagram.
Like if you guys haven't seen Monica's video, go watch that video.
Um, do great training on like all the changes that are happening in 2022.
Um, and so one of the things that happened is like, um, last Monday or last Tuesday
when we did our call, like Lindsay had 6,000 followers, um, total on Instagram.
And now we have like, like 10,200 or whatever, a week in a week.
And we didn't know ads.
We didn't change anything.
And Lindsay hadn't even posted in three weeks because it was Christmas break.
And then we had COVID visit the house.
So, so like I got really behind.
Yeah.
So like what happened?
And we, there was an account that had like 200,000 followers
that found one of her videos.
One of my reels, you can see this one right here.
Um, it's this one right here.
So it's got 87,000 views and you can look at like, I mean, just for contrast, most
of these are getting like three, four or 5,000 views, um, 7,000.
And that, that was at 77,000 last night.
So like it's getting 10,000 views a day right now.
Um, and we had 10,000 followers this morning and now it's 10,200,
like just a few hours later.
And I say all this because I think what is happening, yes, they shared
it and this big account shared it.
But what it is, it gave it an influx of traffic to these different
reels because check this out.
This one all of a sudden has 22,000.
Um, there's another one that had like 30,000, 22,000 up here.
And they're just sort of randomly throughout the thing.
So what I think Instagram is doing is just saying, Hey, people are coming
and watching and enjoying this content and it's keeping them on Instagram.
So let's keep putting this channel to more people.
Um, and so Instagram is actually pushing the channel right now.
Do you know, we've got a couple of these videos that did not have this
many views a week ago and now they all of a sudden have, have it.
So, um, I just want to say that's just to encourage you.
Like that's just to keep the reels.
The TikToks is why are we doing the whole challenge right now?
It's because like, especially for Instagram and for TikTok, they're
crazy growth platforms, um, typically for TikTok, we'll be talking
a bit more on the challenge, but it's a great gathering place for people.
And then you want to send them somewhere.
You want to send them to YouTube.
You want to send them to Instagram, send them somewhere else.
Um, and so that was just a long way to go about saying like, so we can get to the
audit and stuff, but, um, I don't know if there's anything you want to add.
Just keep going.
Like, that's the point, like these reels, like, you know, as much, as much work as
I put in episodes, which I'm glad I do.
Cause now again, people can find me through a reel, which is like just a clip.
And then they have a place to go and like watch the whole episode, but it's not
like, this is a great way to organically grow these channels.
And like, I mean, I Instagram was my slowest growing and my like lowest
following of all my platforms.
Cause I didn't do much other than just, you know, I kind of posted
what I was posting elsewhere.
And then we started doing reels and I started getting a bit of an, you know,
uptake, but still like, I've never seen this type of growth.
So there is that Holy spirit.
I really feel like it's he'll sprinkle his favor on things, which is awesome.
Like the fact that someone shared it on their large platform, but I'm so grateful
that I was like, cause I didn't know it was going to be that real, that's an old
reel.
Like it's not a recent one.
Yeah.
Just remember the algorithm is just an algorithm.
There's still a Holy spirit.
Absolutely.
So you can breathe life on more than that's going to be on a t-shirt.
And I say like, Holy spirit greater than algorithm.
And all the intercessors said, yes, amen.
Yeah.
So, okay.
So you can dive into, yeah.
So one thing I would with that in mind, we're going to, and we're going to be
doing this more next week, but this link here, and this, you specifically have
like a landing page where you're like getting them to sign up for some type of
coaching or give their email or something.
That's like a, to kind of get people to something, if this is specifically
anything on the website, you're, you have a goal here.
Um, websites are generally not good.
Um, conversion tools, this kind of silly, but a funnel is which funnels
just like a single page that drives you through to, to do something.
Um, we did this for, um, I just pulled this up for this, this tick tick
tick tick talk I did on notion for kingdom messengers a few hours ago, but
something as simple as this is like, Hey, get the templates, like put your email
in and then we'll, we'll give you this template.
So this could be a landing page, essentially.
Um, there's lots of little tools that can do this.
You can even create a tool, a page like this on your thing.
If your goal was to get new email addresses.
The other thing in the meantime, if you don't have an email list or any of that,
just go ahead and send them to either your YouTube page, um, channel, or go
ahead and send them to your, uh, your Instagram.
Those two are the best.
I wouldn't send them to Facebook necessarily.
Um, but go ahead and drive, like even on here, potentially link
this over to your YouTube.
Um, and then maybe link this one either to Instagram.
or to YouTube.
So, cause you've got a lot of,
you're going to have some traffic coming here,
but you've got to get people like out of TikTok
and over to something else,
because there's really not like,
we have 23,000 followers on TikTok.
It doesn't really do anything for us though,
other than like a lot of people are watching the content.
It doesn't really, we can't really do anything with that.
So we have to-
Meaning we can't follow up with people, you know,
cause again, the way that TikTok-
We don't have a list or something we can email or anything.
We don't have a list or some things like that.
So like you want to get them to a place
where you can kind of stay, they can stay engaged with you.
And because TikTok is sometimes can be like a one and done,
like someone finds your, and they can follow you
and then they'll start to get your content,
but they might just see something and like it
and be like, that's great.
And bounce to the next thing.
Cause TikTok is fast.
It's like 60 seconds.
Yeah.
You know, I was going to say real 60 second posts
that you just want to like,
make sure that if they are saying,
hey, I want to know who these people are about,
like where are you leading them
to where they can stay with you
and see some of your more substantial pieces of content,
like your interviews and episodes and things like that.
And so, and like looking at your content,
cause you have like long formats and then these short clips,
like I would probably send people over to YouTube.
So you can say like for full episodes, like go over here.
I wouldn't, this link up here isn't clickable.
So I would just take it, take it off.
No one's going to like type that out in their browser,
but what you can do is you can maybe grab
this little description from your Instagram page
and paste that over into here.
So there's a little bit more,
tell people a little bit more.
And you, this whole area is basically like,
if someone was like, asked you, why should I follow you?
Or like, if I follow you, what should I expect?
That's what you're saying.
Like, hey, we'll be sharing content about this, this,
and maybe some fun stuff in mixed in between.
Like something like that would be a good thing.
Cause you're basically answering that question.
Like, okay, if I follow you, what am I expect?
What should I expect to see?
And that's a good sort of thing.
You don't have to think of anything fancy,
mission statement, any of that.
Just kind of answer that question of like,
well, what kind of content would you get
if you continue to follow, if you follow here?
So, but overall, that's it.
I'll just swap those links out.
Maybe drive everything to YouTube for now
and maybe swap this one to YouTube as well.
And just see if that helps your YouTube followers there.
So.
Do you know, that's incredibly helpful.
And the timing is awesome
because I've been trying to get in touch
with our web designer to do a landing page,
but he's back at me saying, oh, what do you want in it?
And I'm like, I don't know what.
So yeah.
Well, a good, for that, to answer that question,
like, as far as like,
if I'm doing a landing page on my website,
it's asking the question of like,
what next step do you want people to take with you?
Is it an email list?
Is it giving you, you know,
it's joining your email list
so that you can stay in communication with them?
It is email.
It is email that I want to land.
And so I can start talking to them
and doing blogs and newsletters and things, yeah.
Yeah.
So you'd want to do a landing page to, you know,
get a person's email address and a good way to do that.
I mean, the easiest way is just,
as far as like the easiest way to build the page
is just do like what you saw, Bruce.
It was like just a paragraph or.
Yeah.
A couple sentences of text of, you know,
here's what you get if you join our email list.
Like if you want to,
and you had some good coffee in your script
for your Facebook ad talking about like,
cause you're wanting to gain,
you want to grab people who want to be advocates
for those that are leaving care.
So it could even be something like a sentence of,
you know, join our movement of advocates
for those that are leaving care.
However, if you want to do like a value ad,
cause some people are just very hesitant
to give their email these days,
but they love to give it as currency,
like meaning like I'll get something.
So like, that's why we gave away our notion templates.
So if you have a resource
that you think would be valuable
to those that are wanting to advocate
for people leaving care,
like maybe it's an article
or maybe it's like, you know, something that would be.
You could create like a two or three page PDF.
Right.
That's just like the, you know, 10.
Top 10 ways you can advocate for those leaving care.
Yeah. And it could,
you could probably write it in like an afternoon.
It's probably something you already have.
Yeah.
Content.
Yeah.
So grab it from the people that have been speaking.
Yeah.
Then you can get a free guide.
They put your email and you send it to them
and we can help probably do some training.
I think I did some a while back
on like some landing page stuff,
but we're probably going to do some more on that soon.
So just about like how to set up a simple page
and like how to actually do the tech side of that.
You definitely don't need a web developer.
Thanks.
That's good to know.
Coming from a former web developer.
I'll tell him you said that.
I'll tell him.
I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
But I just wanted to say,
it's really great to see Rebecca
and your channel growing.
Like I look at that and go, yay, 100.
I'm like, yes, I'm 20, whatever.
I can do it.
What did they do when I'm watching?
So it's really good.
You'd have to learn to play guitar, piano and sing.
Yeah, that's right.
Soaking music.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I can't do that.
But I can sit at the dentist and do funny TikToks
and make my dentist laugh, but that's it.
Yeah, it's awesome.
No, that's great.
Thank you, guys.
I think they got, they passed 100, which-
It's huge.
It's a major milestone
in any of your Kingdom Messenger channel in general,
because 100 is one of the hardest things to break in YouTube.
And so just watch it.
Like, I'm really interested to see
how fast you guys hit 200.
Like, it should be in like at least half the time,
if not faster, because it picks up momentum.
So. Yeah.
So that's great.
Awesome.
Let me just see.
We didn't have anyone else in the queue.
So Walter actually had a question that he submitted,
but I just haven't seen him since now.
Maybe that's probably like 11 o'clock
He submitted this in October, so.
So you're here now and you just had,
you said you had to,
just had some questions about content
and making sure that you have an impact
and you stay on point, I think.
Or if you have another question as well, that may be old.
How you doing, Walter?
Oh, you're muted.
He's unmuting.
Okay, cool.
Okay. Yeah, I'm doing okay.
I'm,
I don't even know what to say.
I'm doing so much recently
that I'm just trying to stay above water.
And, you know, I got a lot of balls
in the air at the moment.
So yeah, I'm still looking at my content.
I'm also in the middle of this challenge.
So, and wheels are spinning and I'm,
as you can see, I'm still kind of like,
like up here somewhere.
Trying to land, trying to come down,
trying to figure things out a little bit.
No, it's just, it's been a while since I've been up here.
So I just finished one thing.
So I thought, okay, let's see if I caught you guys
before you left.
Cause I just miss, miss your heart.
So.
I'm glad that you're here, Walter.
It's good to see your face.
I think we, I think we did talk to Walt
like a couple sessions back
because one of your questions was
about just like being concise.
And so I just, we talked about the challenge of,
hey, if you said it in 10 minutes,
see if you can half that
or see if you can go even just down to like eight minutes.
And so have you been able to try that yet
with your episodes?
Trying to get-
The one that came out yes, on Monday is,
is about with, with every, with the music at the end,
it's about a little over eight minutes.
So I think the content was about seven,
about seven minutes, I think a little over.
It was a little bit different.
What was it?
Cause I talk about one liner.
So, because that's been something that I, I don't know,
you know, I've been working on it.
I think it was someone put up something
and I kept thinking, and then my, I sent it to my son
and he doesn't, you know, he, he doesn't really read
the Bible as much as I would like,
but he kept bringing that, that one liner up.
And I've been thinking about it.
What is it about one liner?
So I did this little, this little thing on one liners
and, and I was surprised that it,
it didn't take as long as I thought.
So I was really blessed at it,
but we'll see how it does.
I don't know.
Well, I mean, you've been super consistent.
Super consistent.
So this was episode 45.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
One thing you can do, I would just pull up
your YouTube page.
So on your, when you go to your YouTube channel,
it has this awesome intro and then there's nothing else.
I don't understand because when you go to the videos,
everything is there.
When I come up, that's not even there.
Yup. Yup.
So what you can do is go to,
there's like a, this customized channel option right here
in this, this group.
You can go back and watch this
when you're got it in front of you.
And you can just add a section here
to show all of your episodes.
So if you want to show like just popular uploads,
that's a great place to start.
It'll just put all your most popular stuff at the front.
You can even do, I think there's like recently,
recently uploaded, but, or, and there's even an upload.
So that, so that's the recently one.
So if you just make sure this uploads is there,
this one has like a stream of videos here.
And then it gives you like rows.
You can actually organize these however you want
to have like different rows.
So if I cancel this, you'll see,
let me get back to the channel.
We have like a row for Tech Tuesday.
We have a row for content strategy.
guest interviews, and then uploads here,
which is like all of our recent uploads.
So definitely make sure that at least your uploads is there
and somewhere towards the top, that'd be great, yeah.
Okay, now that you mentioned that,
I've been thinking a lot about collections
and it's like, how in the, I don't,
in this month, I look and I go,
how do I even think about collections?
How to put my videos in a collection?
Because I talked to my brother last week
and he says, I've been going through your videos
and I go, gee, you handled that earlier,
but you handled it different.
And I go, I don't even know what it was.
You know, it was a verse that I talked about
in some earlier video that he caught later on,
but he remembered that I handled it a little differently.
It didn't take away from anything, but it was different.
And I've been thinking about collections
or because some of my titles just don't, they don't,
I can't go by my titles that I've come up with
because that wasn't the first thing
that I thought about was,
okay, outside of part one and part two,
I know that there are some things that basically
you could probably put together in a collection.
Like a playlist.
Yeah, like a playlist, like four or five of them.
Oh, well, wow, here's all three of these.
You can get basically the same type of information from,
but from a different perspective or something, I don't know.
I've been dealing with that for a while.
The best way to, I mean,
do you know how to do a playlist on YouTube?
No.
The best way to organize it for your viewers is-
And the other thing you can do is just,
Rebecca was saying as well, just like, just have a season.
So you could have like season one, two, three, four.
Absolutely.
And just put like every 10 or every 20 episodes,
just throw it into a season,
just so it's like somewhat separated into something.
And the other thing you can do, let me pull up YouTube
so you can see this.
Your channel.
And so if you're in, let me go to,
you have to click up here to the YouTube studio.
And then you can actually go over to playlists
and you can create a new playlist.
So what this would look like
if I named this like new playlist,
you can leave it public and hit create.
And then it will ask you, like, you can click into it
and you can add specific videos to this.
Or if you're in a video,
let's say you're uploading a video.
So we don't do a lot for Lindsay's.
I think we have like one called daily clips.
We have one called like weekly episodes
and then something that I think is like-
We have very general playlists right now,
but you can do specific ones.
You can make it topical, like to your point,
like, hey, I did three episodes on this verse,
maybe not in order.
Like I didn't do them one after the other,
but I know that I did this a couple months ago
and then I did it again.
Or like the topic is grace or the topic is joy.
You can make playlists for those videos
and you can organize them that way.
And you can see here,
like you would click on these little like three dots.
You can hit add videos, click on your YouTube videos.
And that's another thing as well.
You can put other people's videos in one of your playlists.
So if you potentially had like some other resource
that talked about Ephesians four from someone else,
and then you wanted to include it with yours,
especially if that's a popular channel,
like it'll kind of help connect it to yours.
But in the beginning,
just go ahead and just start kind of with your own episodes.
And you would just, you know, click a few of these
and then hit add videos.
And then that would add those four videos to your playlist.
And you can actually rearrange them,
kind of drag them up and down and all that.
So then it will just,
it's just something people can use to get between them.
Okay. All right.
Thank you.
That makes sense.
That cleared up quite a bit.
Thank you.
Yeah, absolutely.
Good seeing you all.
Glad you could join us.
Hey, love you guys.
Love you too.
Since I see you, it's been a while.
I know there's been the holidays and everything like that.
How are things going with your episodes?
The episodes seem to be going pretty good.
I'm in the middle.
I'm writing, I wrote some stuff out on Sunday
and I'm wondering whether or not
if that's going to be my next episode
because I've been reading a lot of Proverbs.
I kind of went through it
for the first time in a couple of years
and I kind of fell, smack my head
on the concrete of God's word.
And I saw some things that cleared up some cobwebs,
so to speak.
So I, so I wrote some stuff down and I'm thinking, huh, maybe this is where I go on my next one. And I think that would also be probably under seven minutes.
I'm not quite sure but
that seems to be working out.
I looked at move up move Avi.
That you offered that you told me to go to it.
The last two videos I did came out of that.
There was, I think there was some things that I still had to learn.
Because I was kind of like, I was at work and. And that's when one of the patients started screaming and stuff so I had to run away and when I came back, I kind of had to hurry up and finish it.
So, yeah, I'm, yeah I'm trying to.
I'm trying to calm myself down and take the time to go through because sometimes my studio is also someone's bed bedroom at the moment.
So I try to be respectful so I only can go in there and I don't want to spend too much time. So I try to get it all done in about an hour, and then I try to do my editing stuff when I get to work or early in the morning when I know that everybody
else is asleep in the house but
what you're doing is working because you're on episode 45.
Yeah, but I think, I don't know.
I'm afraid even look to see, I think I went over what 75, not too long ago, they sent me a little thing so you reach 75 and I went, wow, gee, I just don't look at that I, if I do that then we go, oh, this was got to get more so I try not to look at that
because I just don't need that right now so there'd be more to think about.
That's awesome. Well, we'll keep keep doing what you're doing. Thank you.
Okay so Denise.
Hi there. How are you.
Well, when I got COVID last week.
Along with you guys I'm so sorry to hear so many of you have had it, but it's every it's going around, so we got through it praise God.
Right, right before COVID hit. I rewritten everything got it down from half hour to 10 minutes, and we're just about to record it. And then I got caught.
And then I couldn't do it I was like I was about to record I'm like I'm feeling funny and so I just went to bed and the rest is history. And then this morning.
I found out we have to do something to our house it's going to take up a lot of time and resources and it's a health emergency, and we have to do a repair on our house.
And so it's going to take up a lot of time and I keep getting these distractions and I know I sound like a woman full of excuses but I'm not normally this way.
It's that everything just keeps happening since I've tried to do this podcast. So, um, but anyway I'm going to persevere and I told God last night that the victory is going to happen.
And I'm going to get this posted. And we're not going to let it, the enemy take over here so anyway, I'm excited one of the questions I had was real quick.
And then I got to run in the early, the part of the post.
And I wanted to start with a few quick, I want to start with a story but my husband says no I think you should just start with questions to pull them in.
And I'm your, you know, tell them. Welcome to the premiere premiere episode of the align with God podcast where together we learned to grow a two way interactive connection with God, based on scripture led by the Spirit and grounded in research, because
this connection is what we're created for.
And then I go and I'm your host and here's a few questions for you. Do you want a closer connection with God, but aren't sure how to get there. Do you ever feel burned out with trying to keep up with what you think God is expecting of you.
And do you want more joy in your connections with God and others.
And then I go into a story about bonding. So a lot of what I do is based on attachment. What did you put that in a podcast.
Bruce treats kind of, I know you're trying to make me out of a writer and into a podcast producer.
But anyway, it's not easy for writers to go for make that transition. So anyway, I've got it all written. So I'm going to put it in a podcast. Again, this week, which is I said last time, barring and nothing happens.
I'm just going to pray over it. Oh, and I did get one thing. I did get a pair of team together. So we're getting together each week and we're praying over our creative endeavors together there's five of us, and one is another.
a woman who does a podcast.
And I just think the warfare,
the prayer is so essential around this.
And so we have room for one more.
Text me if you guys, any of you want to be in that,
but we have a little group that gathers every week
and just praise for our creative podcasts
and things and books to get out for God, for the kingdoms.
Well, to answer your question,
I think that's an excellent way
to start your first episode, really good.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think to your husband's point,
questions are always a great way to bring people in,
but stories are as well.
And I have a feeling because you're a writer,
you're a really good storyteller.
So I think it would be something that would draw people.
My guess is people would be able to be drawn in
by you sharing the story.
But I think for that first episode,
what you said was really clear
and I think I'll definitely draw people in.
And I think what is nice
and what we can show you how to do this once it's recorded
is it'll be a great intro video to your page
where you can mark it as,
like if anyone jumps on your profile,
that's the first thing that they can watch
to tell them what the channel is all about.
Because it sounds like that first episode
is a great even overview
of what you're going to be expecting from future episodes.
Right.
There's so much I left out and cut,
but at your request from a half hour to 10 minutes,
and it felt good.
It actually felt good.
So thank you for giving me that little push.
Lots of little pushes you're giving me
to have all of you guys and all of your examples.
So thank you.
Absolutely.
And I think that's kind of the cool thing
about this larger body of work
is that you're cutting it out for this one episode,
but you can add it to episode two
and then you can add a set three.
So nothing's really lost.
You just, because it's,
you're kind of seeing it as a body of work.
It's kind of like you're, it's all, you know,
you're going to have hundreds of episodes,
you know, down the road.
And so it's just a way to,
you can kind of, it's just how you separate it
and kind of package it up for people.
Yeah.
I have a year of content
and they'd all make really good podcasts.
It's already good.
You know what I would say,
take some freedom to like try different formats as well.
Like if you tried talking to the camera,
you tried doing a teleprompter,
there may be a short form.
I know Rebecca was mentioning like a TikTok type thing
where it's like a minute to three minutes
where it's a lot shorter.
So just figure out what your creative style is going to be
and what works for you.
Because that does take a time to,
some time to figure out that,
that you feel like, oh, I could easily do that.
Potentially in the beginning,
it could just be an audio podcast.
Like I know we always encourage video,
but if you're just, you know what,
for the season, like you're going to be,
house's stuff's changing,
you may not have like the same space, you know,
to go and record each time.
Like maybe you pick up your,
and these, this mic is great off your like Apple headphones.
Here, just plug that in, hit record,
and just record, you know,
a quick audio five minutes something and just share it.
Because it's not so much that the content gets out,
but it's more for you to just experiment
with the process, with it.
And if you don't feel comfortable sharing it publicly,
just post it into the,
this Kingdom Messengers membership group.
And that way it'll feel like,
it'll be just as terrifying to post it
in the membership group as posting it online,
but at least it's a little bit less intimidating,
but it's just kind of getting that thing
of going through all the steps and getting it out the door
and then kind of going back to writing and editing,
you know, recording it, publishing it,
and then going, it kind of goes in circles.
So the more you do it, the more, the quicker it feels,
it's the easier it will feel,
and it won't be so,
it won't feel like this daunting task
to like get an episode out, so.
It's like that circle you were talking about, you write it.
Okay, thank you.
No, that's encouraging.
Where do you get those?
What are those Apple headphones you were talking about?
It has a mic attached.
Just whatever came with your head,
with your, if you got an iPhone,
they'd just pop it in the box, yeah.
Just those, okay, got it.
Yep.
Thank you, Bruce.
Yeah.
Made it.
Awesome.
Okay, I gotta go, guys, but have a wonderful time.
I'll see you guys next week.
Bye.
Walter, I wanted to tell you that you're a good juggler.
Here's a couple of more things.
Does anyone else have anything?
Yeah, it looks like Rebecca had a few things
about TikTok and the chat.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Hi, guys.
Yeah, well, we have a few things
that we're juggling as well, right?
And so on the YouTube,
I'm able to playlist them as separate shows,
but one location.
How do I do that on TikTok?
Is there, I mean, it's just like a batch, right?
You just upload.
And so it just goes into your batch.
So is there any strategy?
Cause I was daydreaming about it on Saturday.
I was scripting and I was like, okay, I'm going to go.
And then I got interrupted, right?
That happens.
And I didn't start.
So now I feel like it was all a divine appointment because perhaps there is a
better strategy when I get started on TikTok.
Yes.
Um, so have you guys posted your first thing on TikTok?
I have followers somehow, but
um, yeah, so I think, so there is a, technically a way, I think there's
a way to put a playlist together.
Um, you have to do it on the app.
Um, so let me just pull it up.
Um, I actually, let's see.
I will look into that.
I did.
I have seen that where you can kind of, it's not at all as, as, um, slick
or as organized and, and like the way you're wanting to do it on YouTube.
It's not going to be like that.
Um, it's a little more organic, meaning that what you'll do is you'll
add a lot of hashtags to your content.
And so if this one is like, um, you know, soaking music, something, whatever.
Um, I mean, for you guys in particular, I think taking 60, like you can go, I
would make, you could go post this this afternoon, like grab 60 seconds of one
of the soak, or I think you can do up to three minutes now, um, just grab, you
know, three minutes of a soaking session and just put it up there and just say
like, um, it's time for a peaceful break or something because, and just, and
just hold it with just like the cool, chill music for like three minutes.
And people just like, listen, because TikTok is just like,
it's like flipping channels.
So you're just like change channel, change channel, channel.
And it's, it's literally, it is the heroine of social media, like crazy addictive,
like, and so what people will do is they just, it's just like, like something
funny dance video, something, you know, inspirational, whatever.
And then they just get this moment where it's like, Hey, it's time to pause.
And it's just like, you could just say like, it's time to pause.
You could have a scripture on it and just, that could be the whole thing.
Um, something simple just because it's, that's kind of different
and you guys have your own music.
Um, but use hashtags.
Let me just, I think what you were asking for is like, sorry.
Um, where, um, let me find the, um, all of the TikTok training.
Um, so we actually have pulled this into its own.
Um, if you, if you guys saw, we, um, rebranded like our, um, video
platform to like Kingdom Messenger TV.
Um, the group is still there.
Kingdom Messenger roadmap is still there.
But if, um, this does, it's just, we're starting to group things by topic.
Um, so these two are great, um, videos to start with.
In fact, this one is probably the best.
Um, where we just did like a deep dive on tick tick tock.
Yeah.
Um, and he'd went through a presentation and like what pages to use and, um,
and I'll drop the link, um, you guys will need to sign in because you guys are
premium, everybody on this call is a premium user, um, but you'll be able,
you should have access to it.
I'll make sure you're in here.
If not, we'll, we'll make sure you're in here, but did you have any other?
Yeah, I wanted to make sure then, um, two things speaking with hashtags going into
that, um, when I use video IQ, I can see it.
Uh, but I can't see it with it open.
Like you were doing.
Uh, and I think that it was saying that I have to use Chrome.
Is that right?
I have to use Chrome in order to go side by side with YouTube.
Yeah.
So get those recommendations for good hashtags.
Yes.
Um, so if you go bid IQ, um, I believe it also will work with Firefox.
So I just dropped the link there for you, but it's just been IQ.com slash extension.
So it's like a, if you're on Chrome, it'll be a Chrome extension.
Um, and I think there's one for Firefox as well.
So, um, let's see.
That's perfect.
And then I had one other follow-up question about if we are signed in, is
there a way for you to tell if we're signed in with the like group?
Um, did I submit both of ours?
Cause we had two YouTube channels at a time.
She's worried about the concern about the URLs for her channel.
Um, you can just fill it out.
Uh, twice if you want, like maybe one for Brett and one for you.
Yeah.
Now that we're combined, I wanted to make sure you had access to that.
Um, yeah, if you want to just email the like help at KMW support, um, just send
us a link to all of your channels.
Like this one's our combined, this is
This is mine, this is Brett's, like,
just send us a list of all of it.
I'll work with Landry and we'll get that figured out.
It'll be a little-
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
We're going a little longer.
No, this is great.
I did notice that you guys are not in the premium thing.
So if you don't have an account on Kingdom Messenger TV,
I'm gonna give you the super special link.
I know it's humongous, but I just dropped it in the chat.
You click on that.
Anyone on this call can click on it and you will just,
it'll make sure you have an account.
If you already have an account, it won't mess anything up,
but that'll just make sure that you guys have access
to the right content, like the link I shared above.
We're slowly trying to move away
from the kingdommessenger.group site
with, like, all the roadmap stuff.
We're trying to move it over to one platform
because we have it in four places right now.
So it's a little bit crazy,
but Landry's working to reorganize stuff.
Yeah, so Susie said she clicked on the TikTok link.
And so, yeah, if you're not signed in
or you don't have an account,
it will not let you watch it yet.
So just hit that big link that I posted after you said that.
So I went to, I clicked on that very, very large thing
and it said I was already,
I've started to sign in and said I was already signed in.
So it says I'm already signed in.
Okay, you guys are all totally right.
Okay, so this is what happens
when Landry's not on the call.
I'm, like, sharing stuff that's coming out
in, like, a few weeks.
But, okay, I will, hang on, I'll fix it.
It's just because you're not in the group yet,
so I'm just gonna add you real quick.
We'll get that figured out.
I'm just, kind of jumped the gun there, but.
Did you, I think, that's, yeah,
I actually shouldn't,
it actually is set up correctly for you.
I will look into that.
Okay, let me just, for backup,
let me just send you guys the messenger.group one.
And the password for this one is just kingdom, so.
But this is the other place it is.
It's all the same videos, they're just in different places.
It's this one right here.
Cool.
Awesome.
For some reason, Ben can see it, but Susie can't.
So I'm gonna look into that, we'll fix that.
I'll go talk to the makers of Tribe
and figure out what's happening.
I have a survey question.
Does anyone wanna weigh in on if we got a YouTube,
or a .com, instead of Reva and Brett James?
If I did R and James,
James, if I did R, N, the letter, B, James,
does that seem confusing, or what do you guys think?
Look, shorter is always better,
but also we always like it to be easy to remember.
Yeah, because we're playing off of the R&B,
like rhythm and blues,
because I don't like dance,
and he's like the colors and chords.
Cool.
But that's not our genre, right?
That's the whole point, like we're not really R&B,
but we are R, literally.
What do you guys think, everybody else?
I like your names.
I love your names, too.
Yeah.
Well, Brett, sometimes people call him Brent,
and they put an E before the T, but it's two Ts, right?
So that's, oh, and I see that I have my name on there,
my full name, which no one can spell Strazma,
so we're not using Strazma for anything,
because it's like, well, how do you spell that?
Although, the Vanzelles, you guys are doing it,
so you just proved me wrong with that.
I know, when we had the last name Hanel
before she married me,
now she has made like a hard, difficult name.
It's all right.
You have to remember that most of the time,
people aren't going to be typing in,
your links or your URLs.
It'll be like the one time that they went
for something specific and they figured it out,
and then the rest of the time,
it'll just come up on your browser,
so you're not usually typing,
so I think you should be good with your name.
Yeah, and what about,
I know that there's a lot of different ways
to spell Rebecca, so that could be confusing,
but I saw brettandrebecca.com is available
with your spelling.
This is like a very helpful, this little site.
You don't have to buy it through here,
but it's just a great way,
because you can, as you type it like,
but, and I don't, you said
not going by it, but Riva is also available if you wanted to buy it.
And as always, like we tend to buy like a few options and then we'll pick
like, and that way we can just redirect it to, to the right one.
We'll have to buy it at the same time as a package, right.
For the, like to get a server.
Is that how the, no, you just go to like GoDaddy or something.
It should be like 10 bucks a year per domain.
20 years ago, we had a website and about 10 years ago we let it go.
But I'll have to get all back into that.
Yeah. Like Riva and Brett is how we put it.
But then I was thinking to shorten it to R&B.
And then I was thinking R&B James specifically,
but I think that's probably going to be like an R&B artist.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, I would, all these combinations are great.
They're short. It's just your first name.
You don't have to fill out this last name.
So I think that solves, solves part of it.
OK. I think we bought BruceAndLindsay.com.
And we've used, we've not really done anything with it.
But yeah, it's not critical.
It's just more for you guys to remember that's. Yeah.
So just go short.
You're so like, here's what I wouldn't do.
I wouldn't do KingdomMessengerWorkshop.com
because we've typed that a thousand times and we're so sick of it.
We've made a subdomain.
So it was like access.KingdomMessengerWorkshop.com
to get to like the membership site.
So now it's just KingdomMessengerTV.
Because I can, everybody can remember that. It's quick to type.
So short is always preferred
if you know, when in doubt.
So just to make it simple. So.
Thank you for your suggestion. Yes. Thank you.
That helps. Yeah.
The sales funnel, Leigh, were you asking
just like to a sales funnel or to the training on that?
To the training on that, that I could copy.
I think we called it like, it was like making money or making.
I think this was it. Let me see.
This was kind of affiliates.
I think, I think this is a good training either way
because it just goes through like landing pages and how to promote stuff.
Let me, I'll drop the link here.
We probably need to do like something specific of like a,
but technically, I think what we were talking about with you is a lead magnet.
And like one of there's a lot of cheap ways to do that.
Lead pages is a great way.
I think there's even like a free option.
Oh, maybe not.
But there's other places I can send you some options.
But I think there's like some of these, I think, are free forever.
Click. We use click funnels. It's more complicated.
I don't necessarily recommend it.
And it's like one hundred dollars a month. So
it's not.
It's probably overkill for what you're wanting to do just yet.
But what's also cool is I would recommend, OK,
this is actually what I'd recommend is active campaign.
The little page that I had with the notion template like this,
this is just an active campaign page.
So the same tool we use for all of our like email management.
And every time you've got an email from us, it comes through active campaign.
So that's where you're building the list.
They have a little like website page.
It's not a website builder. It's like a page builder.
So that's great.
And I think it's like 10 bucks a month or 15 bucks a month for the cheapest one.
So that's probably the cheapest option.
And it's it's pretty easy to use.
And it's kind of got all your email stuff built into it. So, yeah,
I'm making notes. We need we need a active campaign training.
Awesome. So I'll click on that link, Bruce, and save that and then go to that.
That's great. Awesome. Yeah, cool.
Just out of interest, what time is it over in the States?
It's 4.15 in the afternoon, in the morning, in the morning.
That's the we would not be this away.
We may have. I would like to see Bruce and 4 a.m. in the morning.
Oh, yeah. It happens.
That's funny.
Yeah, so we'll we'll create some more content on that.
We have a whole guys, we have like a whole content board of ideas
that Monica and I are working through.
We have so many videos and trainings. We're going to be adding.
like soon so this is super helpful when you guys ask questions we're like cool there's a video
there there's a video there so keep the requests coming we'll we'll keep doing so cool anyone else
have anything do we get to everybody let's make sure no one was like hanging out for an hour and
15 minutes and then didn't get to say anything i guess it's a little bit late right now right for
the page thing so maybe we can do that next time yeah and if you want to um take a screenshot or
just show me where you're getting stuck or make a quick video i can comment on it in the group and
let you know okay i just i could show you right now but i guess i'm not sure if you keep on it
yeah and i did make a note to make a training for that so maybe we can get i'll get that out
soon thank you yeah cool and susie saying something um for for the da Vinci because
what i do is always got um texts you know up on the wall and i have to create those for every new
episode i was i did make something that had my that background image and text spaces
that i was thinking could i have something like that as you know just something that i could
import or that i could import my video into so i don't have to create those text boxes every time
yeah so i mean as a simple solution may be to create think of it more like a presentation and
making slides like very simple slides um in something like canva um and then you could
just import that as an image and like drop it you know kind of over the top right of your shoulder
with you know a scripture or whatever text you want to show or you can bring a full screen
you know um that that could be an option um yeah i would definitely look at something
dealing with like a lot of a lot of text or a lot of text boxes and things like that in da Vinci or
premiere or any app is is just a little bit of a pain um but if you can create sort of a slide
template that you could use in canva and then see build like six or seven slides out in canva
then you can just export all those and just drop them in order i don't care i'm having a horrible
time with canva to even i you know to do my thumbnail so amber said something about oh
just click design a thumbnail and i'm not seeing it or you know how do i click design a yeah or
so yeah it will just be an option that's like um if you create a design i think it's called like
presentation and you can try either one of these to see which one works better i may actually try
this four by three template for you um because it'll be a little bit taller than that way if
you move it to the right you'll still be able to see you and you can just click on any template
here and it'll sort of load it for you um and you're looking for something simple like this
you know where you can just put a scripture and you can change the background image and all that
so can i have the background image be clear or should i just go ahead and give up on that
i know face is important or whatever but i don't have to have my face with the the verse
you can literally come up here and there's like a background option and you can make it
transparent um and then i would just maybe make this white um so uh yeah cool
and then this is something i should probably know but then okay so then what do i do i download it to
yeah you'll download um each slide um so you'll you'll create something like this you can keep
making like add a page here so you could have like slide one slide two um and then when you're done
and then when you're done you can just download all of those um as like a png here okay and then
you can choose the transparent background there and then just download so and then
when i'm picking it up from da vinci i'll save it in my video file and then from da vinci pick
that up from my video file yes you can just drag those images right into da vinci and then just uh
edit them that way yeah i can drag them okay yes just drag and drop and we're gonna make
this is not me the slides tutorial matting it to the content list we're gonna make you a tutorial
thank you monica's gonna make you a tutorial because she's the canva person
so okay thank you all right guys have a great week um ben i can hang out for just a second
if you want me to look at that real quick because now we're i got a second so we'll see you guys
uh next tuesday bye bye thank you
Thank you.
