All right, I think we are getting live, I'll turn it over to you, Tamara.
Did you make me co-host?
Okay.
Hey, hey y'all.
Hey, hey.
Hey everybody.
Oh my goodness, we got some shout outs I'm glad you're here.
We got some shout outs today.
Hey Ben, hey Marion, hey y'all.
Hello.
So good to see you guys like oh my goodness y'all have been rocking it out with the tick tock and just with everything Reva I just gotta, I gotta shout you guys out just a quick win on stretching into over 100 YouTube subscribers.
Send the impartation my way so I can get to 100.
I'm enjoying what you're putting on.
It's amazing how the different platforms.
Yeah, it is true how it just kind of fluctuates but look nonetheless where we're getting the message out so look I'm just three away from hitting the 100 mark so
this week.
And then we got Isaac I'm not sure if Isaac is on yet but he hit a major win with tick tock, you know, getting over 2k views and everyone is just knocking it out Marion.
Oh my god I can listen to you all day.
You're rocking it out juggling it all just everyone I'm just super duper proud of you. Anyone else have any other wins, maybe that you want to share.
Then anybody else come up with any wins or, or anything that look you want to share with us about how your tick tocks has been going this week, thus far.
Nothing, nothing new for me I'm learning how to like today I said I want to kind of play a little bit more with like my wording and maybe add a little bit, you know, you know, like to have the pop ups, as I'm speaking, you know, the scripture
So I want to kind of, that's my goal.
My 1% better. Right. So look before I take over the meeting, I'm going to hand it over.
Yeah, that's great. This is so cool. Yeah, so maybe see the some momentum. Yeah, we realized that we had been getting into a rhythm where we've been starting our calls and not taking a moment to like just thank Lord for his goodness share our wins with each
other.
Hey Holly good to see you.
And so yeah so thank you to America leading that and just, it's good to take a second. Wow.
Almost 200,000 people in the audience, 194. Yeah. Did you guys see our collective audience that's really exciting. And I think, I mean, I know Michelle had mentioned this, like the short form content on Instagram so taking what she's been doing on Tick Tock and
has upped her game to just like it did mine like.
So, it's pretty cool it's pretty exciting. And I know we'll probably get into it a little bit but I have to shout out Susie because Susie your Tick Tock okay I just want us to remember how in the beginning it was like, I have so much, there's so much to say I don't
want to condense it into like a five minute episode and now you're saying so much in just 60 seconds.
Because I was going through your Tick Tock so I'm like man these are packed and I just remember having that conversation very early on of like how do we even begin to talk about all of this stuff, are you finding that the message is getting clearer in your own
head and heart by, like, I don't want to say whittling it down that's not right but just making it more concise and these like 60 second Tick Tocks.
Right, right, sitting with Lord and saying okay how do we sharpen this. And, and a lot of it is not really getting rid of content, it's just the arms and hands kind of a feeling stuff, getting rid of that.
And just sitting with the Lord again, this is his thing this is what he wants me to do, and I found that I've still been kind of struggling getting my content out and then I got all done I thought wait, I didn't do a party with Jesus with that, you know, I didn't
just sit with him and enjoy doing this thing together.
And so that's kind of my big more than 10% is I, I'm really looking forward to
what it takes to just sit and enjoy doing it. But I am surprised at the tick tocks that I'm
enjoying them and I know washing dishes and thinking of quick little things I'd like to say
and I'm thinking now and you've mentioned it, I think I'm sit down and write out ideas and
sit down and maybe do what you've said, but five, 10 tick tocks at once and then post them later.
Maybe if I do that, then they won't be in my head all the time.
Yeah. Yep.
Get it out of your head on the paper, even at first, or with tech talk,
because it's so short, just go ahead and like pull up your phone and record.
That's, that's my challenge. And I admittedly haven't started that this week, like I wanted
to, but I want to do more of just the pull up my phone and talk. I mean, I'm, I am shocked.
That's what Isaac was saying here a second ago, but he said he spent 60 seconds and he was like
outside and then he had 22,000 something views just from a 60 second investment, which is pretty
cool. And I think it's, I think as, as kingdom messengers, we have to remember there's so much
already in us that if we just start talking, you'll be surprised what flows. And I think
that's what came out in even doing the tick-tock demo of just like getting, getting on and just
saying the things that I say all the time in my episodes, the repetitive things in my
conversations with people, and just saying that and the amount of momentum that that brought,
as far as like more views and shares, because shares are in my mind important because it's
somebody taking something and saying, this is, this is, this is not just helpful for me,
but I'm going to share it with somebody else. And it's kind of that multiplication effect. So we,
we found that a lot in the real slash tick-tock that I did in the demo. So I want to do more of
that. But okay. I don't, is Liam Brendan on? Cause they were technically first, but if they're not,
we can go to this. We'll go to Susie. Cause I wanted to, yeah, just a couple of things. I
know there's a few people that haven't maybe seen you guys last week, but we are doing,
we're in the middle of like a tick-tock masterclass series of 30 days. So we did our
challenge, which we pretty much taught everything we know in that challenge and shared like that is
probably going to be reclassified as the big, the first few sessions of the masterclass. And then
we're doing kind of a deep dive each Thursday. So same time, this 3.00 PM Eastern slot each
Thursday for the next couple of Thursdays we'll be on. So you've got actually, we'll do two calls
a week essentially for the, for the next few weeks. You're welcome to be on that live ask
questions. We're diving deep into tick-tock and then we have other things scheduled that are
coming over the next few weeks. We're going to be doing kind of use that as a chance to record and
do some additional training to add to the roadmap. So you guys will just be able to hop on for that
and just be a part of it. And ask any questions you have. And we'll be updating those additional
things. And typically we'll do them on that Thursday 3.00 PM slot. So every Tuesday 3.00 PM
is coaching. I know some of you guys have carved out time around work and stuff to be on this call.
So we're going to keep that and we'll just do that additional bonus one on Thursday. So you're
welcome to be a part of as much of that as you want. And we'll, we'll update the events in the,
in the Facebook groups. You can kind of have an idea of what's coming there. The one thing after
tick-tock is we're going to be doing a master class with one of our friends who's an attorney.
Who's going to talk about all the creative licensing and trademarks and how to basically
avoid that. And he is way, way, way overqualified for helping us in our social media channels. But
he does this in New York for all these huge companies. And so he's just a friend who offered
to do this bonus thing. And he's a believer. He's a kingdom guy. He has a heart for what you guys are
doing. So he's got, it's going to be great. I think that's going to be fun. So he's going to
come on middle of March for that, but just keep a lookout for that. So, yeah, I mean, that's been a
big question. So everybody asks us all of our things, all of our responses start with, well,
we're not in a, you know, we're not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. So our lawyer has advised
us to say that. And okay. So if you guys have questions, you're welcome to go to the kingdom
messenger.group and you can submit questions. So we're going to jump to those people first who
have submitted some questions. And then if we, if you have other questions, we typically always
have extra time. So we'll happily. That just kind of gets you in the queue first and gives us an
idea of what we're tackling. So we're we pretty much never leave a call with someone's question,
not getting answered. That's the goal. Okay. So I don't think we, I can't see the screen.
They're not there. Okay. So let's just jump to Susie. Susie, your, your questions are actually
pretty easy to answer because you were looking for critique on your Tik TOK.
And, um, yeah, well, okay, so I was trying to read the question, but as you just said,
you've got a 491 views and then it stopped, I'm guessing that's normal, any thoughts?
And you said, I'm thinking that if I kept posting the early ones would be seen too.
Yeah.
I mean, keep posting consistency is key.
You did have a follow up question about using KM, the KM music on TikTok.
I would advise you to use already trending songs or songs that are already in the TikTok
library because it serves as a hash, like another hashtag and, and gets you in front
of more people, um, because your content is like very crisp and concise.
Like I would turn the volume on the music down, like, um, just because it would almost
like it's serving as just for that kind of hashtag searchability thing.
Not so much like you have music behind what you're saying, if that makes sense.
So make sure your voice is like way higher than the music, but putting a song in there
just helps as like another tag to your video to kind of get it in front of more people.
Yeah.
So that's what that was the quick advice would be.
And then you said, um, well, I'm going to just point out one of the things, so the hashtags
here, um, I would just look, so if I click on like, Holy spirit is comforter, um, yours
is the only video on all of TikTok, um, that has that hashtag, so, um, which is great.
So you definitely want to do that for your channel name.
So, um, I see you've got call near as well, same, same things happening there.
Um, but that's quite a, you're using up sort of some valuable space, which could be a tag.
The Christian TikTok is obviously good.
Christian is super broad.
So if you do, um, 27 billion views, um, so it's really tough to, to get out of the noise
of that.
Um, but things like I would sort of like, uh, uh, maybe like, and we can search for
some things, but, but, um, I see you've got this word and there's one other person who
has hashtag that, um, I don't know what, like topic would it be like, um, Greek Bible, like
explained or something.
Yeah.
I mean, I would just say, so you could start to type here, Bible Greek language is one.
Um, so you could try that and you could click into somebody that I have no idea if this
is even vaguely like the right, um, thing, but it's going to suggest biblical Greek language
is another topic there.
Um, so you could kind of go into here and like, I mean, it looks like it's people who
are like talking about just, I'm going to show you more of the process here.
Um, so if you go like biblical Greek that has 50,000 views, people are, are getting
tagged with that.
Um, and so I don't know if, and these may not be relevant to you, but just sort of that
process of just starting to type and then seeing what gets suggested and then clicking
into some of these videos and see what other people are using as far as hashtags, like
learning biblical Greek seems super niche to, uh, what you're doing, but, um, you could,
I haven't, I don't know any of what this, these, uh, videos are, but you could definitely
click into these and see what hashtags and then just click on the hashtag and see what
traffic is coming to it.
And some of these will just be things that you figure out once and you can use them for
every video moving forward.
That's what I was going to say.
Cause we use like postures, hashtags like over and over again, same ones, same ones.
Yeah.
So it's not like you have to do that for every video, which is more like how YouTube works.
You know, YouTube, you're kind of customizing it to every video, very, very custom.
This can be a little bit more broad.
Yeah.
Uh, Laura said she's using walk of the spirit.
That's great.
We can look that up.
Yeah.
But, um, cool.
Okay.
You can go.
That's it.
I mean, that's, that's basically, those are your two, like the two main questions.
I don't have any critique on the content itself, cause I think it's really good.
I mean, it's really crisp and clear.
And I even like the text that you're using.
I felt like that, you know, like the title text, I thought it was very engaging and intriguing.
So keep it up.
Good.
Thank you.
Um, so the funny thing about the music and I'm sure I'm unique to everybody is my husband
has a thing about us, not half, not having a cell phone.
Are you, I've got a flip phone.
I can't do Tik TOK with my smartphone.
I've got to do it on DaVinci and then put it on Tik TOK.
So this is my, yes, Lord, I can do this thing.
Um, so if I did music, it would have to be on DaVinci and then put onto Tik TOK.
And I'm wondering if Tik TOK would object to that.
Does the desktop not have a music editor?
Yeah.
So you don't want to add the music in DaVinci and then upload it to Tik TOK because it doesn't
get tagged.
It doesn't know that you use that music.
It has to kind of come from the Tik TOK app.
Unfortunately, if you can't get music in, it's not the end of the world.
It's like do the hashtags, do everything else.
Not a big deal.
Um, so don't feel like you can't be doing, cause you're already seeing.
some good results. I would keep doing that. Yeah. And then just
add the music, you know, at some point and, you know, potentially
like a tablet. I think you and I, we emailed a little bit
about this, but we can, you know, there's some ways around
that. I don't have TikTok or any social media apps on my phone.
That's just like a personal rule for me, because it's so
distracting. And so it's always funny, because when you guys
have questions on these calls, I'm like trying to download
Instagram. They're all on my iPad, though. So my iPads just,
you know, in my room, at the end of the day, I may check in on
Facebook and stuff. But anyway, but I hear your husband's, you
know, preferences on far as not wanting to be honest,
we respect his decisions. So,
so, but okay, so a tablet, I don't want to get off on this,
but a tablet still has to go through our server, right? And
our internet provider and all of that. So we would have to pay
for that, which we're not.
Yeah, but it's controlled. So you like you wouldn't have all
your contacts on there, you may not have like your email, you
know, you could basically just literally use it for for
TikTok.
Yeah, for like social media stuff.
So yeah, and there's, there's probably a whole nother talk.
But yeah, whatever.
I mean, what you're doing, the good news is what you're doing
right now just on the desktop is, is working the music is an
added like hashtag. So I think the next step for you that 1% is
work on your hashtags, like with what we just showed you and kind
of research and do a little bit more of those broader hashtags
and then just see if there's an uptick in your views by doing
that.
Yeah, cool.
Awesome. Awesome. Very, very good. I think Denise and then
did I see me and Brendan? No, no. Okay. Okay. Oh, no, they're
here. Oh, let's jump to them. Sorry, Lee and Brendan, you guys
are up. Because you guys are one of the first I think you had an
audit. No, no, we had this one getting stuck. You guys are
trying to add the subscribe button notification bell. Yeah.
Cool. Are you doing that?
Where were you adding it? Is it in DaVinci?
Yeah, DaVinci. Yeah.
Is it you trying to get the green screen? The green key
stuff out?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's with the green screen because I couldn't get didn't
know how to Yeah. Put the subscribe notification.
Notification.
Yeah, let me probably what I'll do is I'll, I'm gonna, I'll make
a quick video here in and post it because I think that's
something a lot of people are gonna need help with. So what
I'll do is I'll if you don't mind, I'll make a separate video
for it. I'll post it in the group after this. And just do
like a like step by step, which buttons to push. Yeah, I see.
Okay, Ben needs it as well. So that's good.
Cool. Yeah. Anything else? How's the how's TikTok going?
He TikTok's going good way. I'm putting more ads in and putting
more of Brendan on the screen, which has 100% sales from the
United States liking his stuff. And Australia. So that's really
good.
Almost 1600 followers for you guys. Yeah, it's awesome.
Yeah, I think what's what's been really helpful is the Hannah.
Was it Hannah Brechner, the masterclass and just the TikTok
thing combined. So amazing, because after the brainstorm, we
realised sort of our videos are too long.
Kind of not hitting the spot in the first four seconds. And so
we're, we're playing with different things like, and
praying about what we've prayed about it, we just got the paper
thing down low, like dropping the papers, really quick stuff
like, cool. And we got shocked with, I think another thing from
the TikTok or the masterclasses, there was, what was the Mojo app?
Yes. Awesome, because I found like a six second or even a four
seconds, four seconds, four second little Kelly, the, you
know, just a little graphic thing. And it's got, it's got a
lot of views and 84 likes. And I just was shocked in shorts that
it's got that much.
Yeah, it was 1000, I think it was 1000 views.
Yeah, and 84 likes. And I got shocked, because I'm like, that
is nothing. That is just like me. But then I'm 54. And they're
like 18 to 25. So let's just say something for them. So yeah, so
that's, we're just experimenting with that. And, and the power of
our faces being in, like in front of them, like, I feel like
when we've got
our faces and not, well, some of the fun stuff. But I think when they see Brendan or they see
us together, there's like more traction. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. I mean,
I was looking at your account. Looks awesome. I think that's awesome. I love that you guys
have taken TikTok and kind of use that as your main platform. And then because,
especially because of your mail. I think that's great. Awesome. And a big testimony,
which is the shortest version I can do with my personality is on the weekend, we went to a cafe
just for like a day date for us to just to brainstorm in a cafe locally. And a young girl
and a person overheard our conversation like with someone. And she's just like,
are you guys like on TikTok? Literally, God brought us face to face with our who.
And she was like, we've got a photo. Oh, she was a follower. And she had
my, I nearly fainted because we were talking and we're like, I don't really, I really want to be
inside where the pretty things are because it was like picture pretty candles and good smelly things
for the ladies that are here, like all these pretty stuff inside. And then we went outside
to the foyer and then that's where we saw her. I mean, I didn't interact. I said, your bacon looks
nice. That's all I said. And then we sat there and for the next hour or so, she's just downloading
to us without even asking. She's like, you know, I keep doing what you're doing. I'd really love
to share my story. You know, like I think I had to go through that hard period to get through
to the other end. Like, I'm just feeling like God's downloading us through this. And my
brainstorming session went like, so it's like God literally brought her in front of us. And then I
said, can we have a photo? And she's like, yeah, totally. And so we've got a photo. One of the
photos of life is so inspired in one of our things. That's her, the young girl. And that's her
carer with both of them have lived experience of mental health and some stuff. So I said,
I have to tell you, you are literally our brainstorming session. She goes, I'm happy to
help. And she wants to be interviewed. So I'm just going to look at that. So, yeah,
I just want to share with you guys. It's so funny when you pray about your who and I ask God, give
me a heart for my who. Give us love like you have for these young people. And then he literally
brings a smack in our face. That's a divine appointment. It was a divine appointment.
Well, and I love the house strategy. Like you guys are your who is a very small niche inside
of your city and that you found someone in your city. Right. And what's crazy is with with only
sixteen hundred followers to have that happen just shows the power of like the technology linking
you guys in a specific geographical area. And I have heard Isaac Holt was talking about this in
one of his trainings, is that the local parts of TikTok are very it's very powerful. Like it works
great to when you post something, you can see stuff from around you. So I think, again, that's
such a great use for you guys. And that's such a cool testimony. I love that. I think that it took
about a year or two before that happened with your channel. And you guys are like TikTok famous
if you're being recognized. Yeah, I mean, we were at like you crossed a line. There's no going back
after this. We want to be behind the scenes. But, you know, I love that. Awesome, guys. So cool.
OK, so we but you did get their questioning. You're going to make a video for you guys.
Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. I make a video and I will make a video for you. I love I love the videos.
But the newsletter thing that I did, I'm going to send it to you guys and
Lindsay or the team. I'd love it to see if you think it's a value because I have run it through
by a young a young person that's a lived experience. He said just quotes are good for
young people, a little bit of text and some photos. He said no more than one page. But
again, it feels like it's nothing. But to them, it's a lot maybe. But I'll run it by YouTube.
Like, yeah. And share. Share a link in the Facebook. Just make sure you tag us so we can
make sure. Yeah, I'll definitely give you some feedback in the messages. Yes. And the members.
Yeah. Cool. That's awesome. Awesome, guys. Good job. What a cool testimony. That's pretty cool.
OK, so Denise is having some technical issues. You said you're mainly, you know,
it's getting that podcast, your podcast connected to Apple that I buy. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I'll be
brief. Thank you so much, guys, about the.
hearing about the TikTok progress.
It's very encouraging.
We haven't jumped on that fast moving train yet,
but we plan to.
So personally, we, you know,
we're just having some challenges with our home.
And so we don't have a lot of time,
but we got three podcasts out and our, yeah,
it's been-
That's really good.
That's amazing.
It is amazing, their audio still,
but Bob jumped on and was, has some time now.
And he's been helping me figure out about the teleprompter
with the one you guys use, the TP.
Yeah.
And he, my problem was before Bruce,
as you remember, I couldn't get it to mirror.
Well, he figured that out.
So we're getting it to mirror,
but the problem is now I can't get it to,
I can't download my documents very easily.
It downloads from my iPad to my,
from my computer to my iPad.
So, but I'll figure it out.
That's probably easy.
But the main thing is I want to get the podcast on Apple.
And so I did sign up for that and for Google.
We're getting some good following
and people that are who really love it.
Cause our who is a kind of a unique group.
It's kind of people that have trouble hearing from God
and interacting with God experientially,
but are very Bible focused, you know?
And so it's really helped those people
and they're passing it on
and giving me good feedback, us good feedback.
My question is, how do we get it on Apple?
And then the second question is,
we found out our name, Align With God,
with Bob and Denise.
Align With God has popped up twice.
I'd never seen it before on Apple.
Suddenly it's brand new.
And then, so I've got two other podcasts
I'm competing with called Align With God,
but ours is Align With God with Bob and Denise.
But we might not do it together in the future.
He might do technical and I just might do the podcast.
It's hard enough to do one person much.
Let's get two people coordinating all your stuff.
And so, I don't know.
I know some of you do.
I know Lee and Brandon do things together, but it's hard.
So those are my two questions,
how to get it on Apple
and whether we should go on as Bob and Denise
or do it individually?
And if so, do we need to worry about the names being similar?
Yeah, so, okay.
So let me share this.
This is on iTunes and you're on, you're there.
I'm on iTunes.
iTunes, okay.
Well, Apple Podcasts.
This is Apple Podcasts.
Oh, that's Apple Podcasts.
Okay, because when I go to podcast and I type me in,
I don't get it.
I did Align With God, all one word, like you have it.
Oh.
So when I don't do the one, let's see.
With the spaces?
Yeah, so I took out the spaces
because that's how you have it in your link here.
So if I go back to this one,
you have it like always one word.
Oh, yikes.
That's not good.
Okay, so you can just change it.
You can definitely change it and it will just update.
It should just update everywhere.
You can just update it in Anchor
and it will update everywhere.
Yeah, just need to do it in Anchor.
That's right.
Okay.
But you're definitely on iTunes
which is Apple Podcasts.
So, but just to search for it,
I searched with Align With God, all one word,
push together and that did show it here.
So I'll drop a link to that.
Also, I just have this in my chat, but here we go.
This is Align With God.
Okay.
Michelle says she loves your cover art.
It's good.
That's great.
Yeah, and then the next question was around,
what was it?
Can you search it?
I just want to see who the, who else.
Who the other ones were.
I don't know if they are updated.
Yeah, if we go, oh, sorry, let me share this one.
Oh, no, they're updating pretty frequently.
So this one was.
And then I did apply for Google.
Oh, that one, yeah.
But, you know, this looks so unique
and it's got your names in it.
So I think this is fine.
Like what you have here,
even though there's ones that are just Align With God,
because you add your name.
And I think if you did, I would do Bob.
It may be worth putting their last name there as well.
Let's see Bob and Denise.
Oh, there we go.
Look, if you search for Bob and Denise,
you're not your first step right there.
So that's great.
So yeah, you're not even competing with anyone else.
I was gonna say you may have to add your last name,
but you don't even need to.
Awesome.
Okay, so they could just by name.
Okay, thank you, Ben.
Yeah, and the reason for that
is because you have it right here.
It's in there as Bob and Denise at the end.
I mean, if you had just done Align With God podcast,
it would have been more generic and harder to find.
So what you're doing is good.
I think this is all set up correctly.
Probably keep it that way.
TikTok too. Yeah. You may as well just keep it consistent. Definitely. Cool. Okay.
And even if eventually you're planning on, you know, just being more you and less Bob,
like I really think like for now, just leave it as is because it gives you a little bit more
space for it to continue to be like, maybe it is you one time and then it's him one time, but it's,
it's you together. And I mean, you could even, if it gets to a point, like in the future,
we're not there yet. So don't even worry about it. But if it gets to a point where it's like,
Hey, he just wants to do more behind the scenes. Like you can still reference him.
Like, you know what I mean? Like it's still you guys doing it together as a couple. So
I would continue to do that because it also makes it a little bit more unique.
Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Awesome. And then just one more quick thing, the music, the music I did
borrow from you guys's site and I downloaded it on my Apple music thing. And then I went to
use it when I was making podcasts and it just wouldn't play. I couldn't find it. It wouldn't
play. So do you have to load it every time? So let's pull up here. So you're talking about the,
that's up here in the custom music. Okay. Yeah. So once you download it, are you,
what are you using to edit it? Is it garage band or.
I'm not using anything to edit it. I think I just, you mean use the whole, I just think I use
the whole thing. But how did you, did you put it, how did you take like your audio and mix it with
the, with the music? Did you use a, some software for that or an app? I don't know. I don't remember.
I think I just loaded it on again. I'm technically challenged, but I think I put it on the,
I, my Apple, my iTunes. Okay. Okay. So that's on your computer. You'll just need a way to best way
to think like it's just a merge sort of the share my other screen here. So there's an app on your,
you're on a Mac, right? I think. Yes. Yeah. I try to memorize everybody's platform. That's my goal.
So basically there's this, it's free. It's on your, it's on your computer already. And what you
would, you would do is literally just drag. So if I drag in some audio here, I'll just show you,
give you a super quick crash course here. What's what is this called? This is called garage,
garage band. Yeah. Yeah. I've used that garage band. Okay. Yeah. I'll put it in the comments
there, but, and you'll, the easiest way to do is you can actually drag it from iTunes directly
in here or you can drag it from you know, from your computer just into this. So
if I I'm doing too many things, let's just go here. So if I grab like Lindsay's
file from like a couple of weeks ago, I can just drag that in. And now this down here is the
is the is, is her, her speaking. And then you would need to mix it with some audio as well.
So you would take the music part of it and drag it on top of it. And I'll show you how that looks
in a second here. And this is probably the easiest way to do this. I think there are other ways, but
here we go. So let's say like, here is some music. It doesn't matter which one's on top or
at the bottom. So this is the music and what you can do here and I'll just try and play it.
So we'll take like, so this is, you can make, I can make her voice
much louder and bring the music daily posture. So let's go.
Okay. It's teen where it says from now on we regard.
And so anyway, so you can kind of play with like where you want it to come in and all of that. So
you have to do that. You can't just drag it in. You have to go through garage band. Okay.
Yeah. Garage. But yeah, that's the whole thing there. Maybe we could do a little something
for that. I'll add that to my list with Monica to, to make a little, little tutorial on how
to drag that in or Monica, if you have another tool, I just use garage band. If you had a better
one. I've been using audacity. Yeah. Garage band will be just a little easier. I think so too.
The easier, the better.
Both are free. Audacity just works great as well. Cool. Okay. Great. Okay. Thank you.
And let me just check here.
Okay, cool. Yeah. Oh, okay. Did you, have you talked to
and still port already about your intro.
No, me.
Okay.
Cause you got, I just was checking your, like when you joined and if that was
one of the bonuses, but there's a bonus in there for you to have Jen's
design a custom intro for you.
Um, so just, um, if you want to send an email, it's like the help at
KMW sport, um, we'll get you connected with him and that was, that's there.
So he'll actually edit and make a cool custom intro for you.
Um, and so that's, I just noticed that you hadn't used that yet.
So let's get you that.
And then you don't even have to worry about the timing.
He'll help you give you a little template and you can just
drop it into your, your file.
Um, he's awesome.
He does the kingdom messenger, uh, recap videos and all kinds of stuff.
He's really cool.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Nice.
You guys are great.
Awesome.
Um,
okay.
So let's look back.
I think that was everybody.
That's everybody in the queue.
So if you have a question, just go ahead and raise your hand and we'll jump in.
We'll jump in.
Thank you.
Oh, what's up?
I like that.
You have everyone.
Sorry.
I think I put clap in there as well.
So you have like a hand, like we got to get to everyone.
Oh, I was very pleased to hear Liam and Brendan's testimony.
That was wonderful.
Um, on the weekend, I put in a tick tock and I forgot to put any hashtags in it,
but that's, you know, but I still got 486 on this.
I subscribed.
Oh, thank you.
So yeah, but the question I had, I'm sure I type this question in and I cannot even
see, I was thinking to myself, I type this question in for today.
And then suddenly I can't even see it.
So I don't know whether I just didn't press post.
Um, I'm having trouble with Da Vinci, um, resolve, and I don't know if anybody
else has had that sort of trouble.
Um, last year when I was doing these, I mean, I have had a gap of about six
weeks and then I've sort of restarted again, what I was doing with my, my
videos, I was scheduling a zoom.
Okay.
And basically live streaming that to YouTube.
That's what I did last year.
But this year I thought, Oh no, I'm going to go directly to Facebook.
And then I thought, okay, now I'm going to try and put that onto YouTube.
So then I was sort of trying to take the video out of Facebook, downloading the
video and putting it onto Da Vinci and I cannot get the audio right.
It just is awful.
So I haven't managed to do any of my video editing.
Like I would like to, I've actually had to use my YouTube, um, create a
studio to edit, which is terrible because it's not as fine and I, you
know, I can't add things into it that I like.
Um, so I just wondered, have I got to go, do I go back to what I was doing
before, um, or ditch the Facebook lives?
So this is, this is a good conversation because there's a lot of, there's
so many ways to do it, right?
So you have to figure out what fits your style best.
Um, so the, the live just straight to Facebook, um, works great.
It's just, I mean, it's live, so just whatever's happening is
happening and it's getting recorded.
Um, we've, I've been a fan of actually just pre-recording a lot of stuff
and then streaming it live.
There's some ways to do that.
Um, Lindsay does everything that way where she, you just hit record and then
we'll just stop it and start it on the computer.
Um, I would say, um, be, be, uh, you know, flexible to experiment with a few things.
Um, are you recording on your phone or what are you using?
No, on my laptop.
With your webcam.
Okay.
And you're on a PC or Mac?
A PC.
Okay.
There are, there is software for that, which will just
capture it, um, to your computer.
Um, I'm going to, um, anyone with a PC wants to throw in, um, OBS is a, is a
great free one.
It's just, um, it takes a little bit to set up, but, um, what that will do is
it'll take your webcam feed and then your microphone, and when you hit record, it
will just record that to your computer.
Um, and that way when, as soon as you hit stop, there's already a file like
on your computer, ready to be used.
Um, there's a little tutorial.
I can, I'll drop a link to it.
Um, in here, if you're interested in going that route, um, here's my thing
with zoom, we all love zoom.
It's easy to use.
And again, if that's the only way to do it and you can get it out the door.
Great.
Just the quality on zoom is, is horrible.
It's it's so, um, it bothers me so much.
So like when we do challenges, we have to send our video to Facebook directly.
And then we send it to you guys also in.
Zoom so you guys can see us, but the quality of those,
like especially when you go back to try and edit it and stuff,
it's just so grainy.
So if you have a webcam or your lighting's not perfect,
it already looks pretty bad, just very raw.
And again, if that's what's holding you back
from getting your content out, you can definitely
just record right in Zoom.
You can open up this new Zoom call
and just hit record to computer and just do your session,
hit stop, and then go edit it.
So it doesn't have to be live anymore.
And then you can upload it.
But I would love to, like, I'll send you this link for OBS.
Thank you.
That would be really cool.
And there's a few tools like that as well.
And there's other ones that are paid where you can, you know.
But this one is, this one will be great to get started.
Where is it?
I will find it.
In this video.
On the same topic, if you guys saw the Tech Tuesday
from today, a really cool resource
that's free to add, like, a link to all your channels.
It's called, so check that out.
And then let me share this with you.
OK, so this is the OBS.
It's a long video, but it's like 15 minutes.
But that'll show you how to set it up.
And you can definitely hop on a call like this
and share your screen.
And if you get stuck, we can help you out.
I'm going to make a new tutorial for OBS.
Thank you.
How to record your TikToks with OBS.
I'm just going to put that out a little teaser.
But the TikToks I've been shooting,
I have, like, my screen recording above on the TikTok frame.
And then I have my video below.
And I hit record and it records it in the right format.
And then I just post it to TikTok.
Oh, wow.
It's amazing.
It is amazing.
It's very high tech.
I even marked with a Sharpie on my monitor,
like, how big things need to be.
I'm going to make a tutorial for you guys.
So now we're all getting into TikTok.
But if anyone's doing stuff where
you need to show your computer or slides, it'll be fun.
OK.
That's it for me.
Just on the DaVinci Resolve, I wondered
whether it was because maybe there's been an upgrade.
I just have to go and upgrade DaVinci Resolve.
But I just wondered if anybody else had found audio issues
with DaVinci Resolve.
Whether, you know, was it related to the fact
that I was trying to take it out of Facebook
and put it on there.
My computer just would not get the audio.
It was completely missing from the...
The audio is completely missing.
Well, it's not missing.
No, it's actually completely unintelligible.
The audio is unintelligible.
We have had that issue with certain file types
and you just went to the...
I tried to change the file type.
Yeah.
So, you know, so I had Windows Player, then I tried QuickTime.
I tried and it was still the same.
Okay.
Yeah, I think...
So, if you have it, if that's the only copy you have is on...
Is this for something you're trying to recover
that you already did?
Yeah, I was trying to...
Yeah, that's right.
I'm trying to get stuff off Facebook
that I can then edit and cut down and use things.
And then I'm just thinking, oh, is this going to happen?
Is this just a Facebook thing with DaVinci Resolve?
We could definitely take a look at it.
We'd have to look at the file format of that
and then how you've got your sequence set up in DaVinci.
So, we could definitely look at it.
Do you have your screen?
Yeah.
I fixed it that fast, but...
Yeah, I believe in you.
That's okay.
Yeah.
We can do it another time.
But anyway, I just...
Like I said, it was just a strange thing.
It just seemed like it was the case.
But look, I'm happy to leave it for another day
because I know there's other people waiting.
That's good.
Yeah, if you want to...
I don't know how big the file is,
but if you can upload that file to the Facebook group,
I'll try to put it into my DaVinci
and see if I can see if it's broken.
And that's probably the...
I'll just see.
Yeah, file formats and changing stuff is always a pain.
So, then moving forward, you could try OBS.
And then there's another one someone just dropped here
from Ben about Screencast-O-Matic.
So, that one has a cooler name, I think.
And that also looks like it's free.
So, check that one.
Again, try these.
I'll take all of these.
Yeah, try the...
Again, some of these are going to feel so easy.
You're like, oh, that's amazing.
I just hit this button and I talk.
So, just try different formats.
We experimented with a number of different ways to record
because you would love to be able to like...
As soon as you finish recording to hit play
and be able to watch it back.
So, we quickly got away from recording to the camera
and recorded straight to the computer.
But that helped our process a lot.
A little bit, yeah.
So, awesome.
Thank you.
Okay, I see. So, in order here, I see Marian has her hand raised.
Hey, Marian.
Marian. I say Marian because it's like how you say it when you say it with, oh, you're
muted. There we go.
Marian.
Yes.
Cool.
Okay, I have several. Last week, I talked to you about not being able to get Instagram
pictures on my phone to my Instagram on my laptop. You may have put the link, the whatever
it is, on Facebook, but I forgot to look there. You said you'd show me an easy way to do that.
So you want to like schedule the post to go to your Instagram?
No, I've got I've got my videos on my phone.
Okay.
If I go on Instagram on my phone, it won't go to my videos. It'll only show me the photos.
It misses all the videos.
Do you have your phone? Let's do this.
TikTok, no problem, but Instagram won't. And I can put it on my computer. But all my videos
are on my phone.
Okay, let's I'm going to bring up Instagram and then I'll show you.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm just going to share my screen here.
You did put a video on.
So that was help organize it as far as like.
Yeah, I already knew all of that. This is just a picture, my video.
Okay, so let's I'm going to share this. I have to just do a few things to there we go.
Okay, so you can see that here's Lindsay's Instagram.
And so is this on the phone or on the phone?
Okay.
And you're saying you can't see the video?
When you put the plus sign on, it tells me I can go to photos or or galaxy, I think it's
called.
Okay, so you don't have all of these like real and story?
No, I don't.
Okay.
And you're on an Android?
I'm on an Android. Yeah.
Okay. Are you on and you do have the app on your phone? Or are you on the website on your
phone?
I've got it actually on. I've got Instagram on my phone and on my laptop as well.
Okay, you've got the app. Okay.
Yeah.
They're not the same.
Okay, yeah. So because it so we go to this is reals. So we go to the top here and go
to you want to be posting it.
I think it's going to be a plus. We'll see if we can actually find a video that's like
more than we just watch videos of Hannah. That's what we'll do the rest of the session
here.
I'm not gonna go through all of these stuff. But if we had a video that was longer than
60 seconds, because I don't think you can upload a video longer than 60 seconds from
the phone, actually.
They're all 60 seconds. Things on your bottom of your screen that I don't have.
Okay, so yeah, when you hit the plus, it should have like,
And you're on the I know we've asked that, but you're
Okay.
You found us, it comes up with create stories fast and easy with the new camera feature
share daily highlights that disappear within 24 hours.
That's what it comes up as
Okay.
Well, you know what, it's what it's okay. So if I if I switch it on the plus sign, then
I get something comes up with upload. If I click on upload.
It goes to
Can you, like, just show us your screen a minute. Oh, no, it's working.
See we're just it's just the anointing of being on this call.
I don't know. Hopefully I can do it again.
So what I was gonna say is if you want to just literally show us like your phone or
I don't know what you're seeing. I know it's a little difficult to share your screen but
if you just
Yeah, my screens like that.
Okay, so that's the camera.
So when you went to the okay so now you're in the reels mode. So can you hit the bottom
left and
I clicked on the
Yeah, yeah. So there's all your videos.
And there, there I can get my videos. I couldn't do it before.
Okay, cool. No, let's
Just a minute, just a minute though. That might be tick tock.
That's tick tock. It's not, it's
Are you in the tick tock app?
Okay, now I'm on
Instagram. Okay. Yeah. Okay, now that's what it looks like
there. Okay. I can't sorry, let me just hold on. We're gonna
spotlight. There's a plus plus at the bottom, which I'll click
on. Yeah, I'm trying to see if that is the and it comes up with
photos and not videos. Interesting. I think it's a
permission. Go to your camera. No, no camera. I'm just seeing
if you have permission. It's taking my picture. It's okay.
Yeah. Camera. Yeah, let's get a setting. We're gonna have to go
get an Android device. We can help everybody with if I if I go
to browse, which is right. It comes up with files gallery or
drive. Okay. Oh, if I click on gallery, this is what happens.
Okay, so it's just your camera images. Okay. Yeah, I think the
thing is, if you go to just go click into before you do the
upload stuff, can you just go to the Instagram app? Like, what's
the first thing you see when you go to open Instagram? That's
what I get. Okay, so that's what's strange. And and if you
can you go up a little bit to see what's happening at the
bottom of the screen. Okay. Okay. And you hit that plus at
the bottom middle. Is that the plus you're hitting? Yeah. And
that's what and then it immediately goes to this. Okay.
That's, that's strange. So let me for this. I was just gonna
ask, Marianne, have you updated your Instagram app?
Um, I only put it on my phone a few weeks ago. It's, it's pretty
new. Okay, just in case, sometimes they're like little
glitches and things. And so I tried it whenever there's a
glitch, I either will my go to is reboot my phone completely
and turn it off or, or check to see if there are any updates
because sometimes
well, and the other thing is, it doesn't look like the new the
usual Instagram symbol on there. It's not the normal
symbol.
Yeah, that's weird.
It is. And so in order to get it, in order to get it, I had to
look through one of the one of the sites where you download
apps. So maybe that seems like not not correct. Let me see if
I'm going to drop a link here. Okay, to the Google Play for the
exact one. So maybe let's start there. Make sure you're in the
right one.
Yeah, I don't think I did it through Google Play. I, I can't
remember.
Okay, I will, we're gonna find that. We will go Instagram. I'm
gonna drop a link. Okay, so yeah, the link I'm looking at
it's not look like what you have. Yeah, this one, I'm gonna
drop a link in the chat.
Okay, that would be good.
If you click on that on your computer, you should see it. And
this has 131 million reviews. So that's how you know you're on
the right one. It's this one here.
That's the one there.
Icon is quite
Yeah, that's much better. That looks normal.
Yeah, so try and give that a shot. And we'll stay on here for
a second. So if we want to come back, for questions, and then
now I have to find it first. Okay, because I don't this is
I'm on my computer, not my phone.
Got it. Okay. So just search for that name. And then we'll come
back to you in a minute.
Okay. And this is Google Google Play, right? Yeah. Play Store.
Yeah, Play Store.
Yeah, I thought I looked through here and couldn't find it.
Got it. Yeah, no problem. And I'll, I'm gonna send that
message to you. I'll send you the link to that. So you can
just click on it from your phone. Okay. But we can come
straight back here in a second. I did want to just, let's just
jump on here. The one comment I just saw, sorry, let me just
jump back. I saw that Holly posted her first TikTok while
we were on this call. So I don't know if she did it like before,
but I saw it was on Facebook. I just had popped up in my feed
while we were talking. So did you have a question? I don't
know my hands. But just looking for some direction if there's
time. Sure. We're just sort of in the open.
Hello. Hey, I just I just posted the TikTok because I was sitting
here. And I thought maybe I did do the TikTok challenge. And I
did my
first one. And I only got, I don't know, 200 views and only three likes out of that.
So I don't know, I thought, I don't know why. So that's why I posted it to try to get some feedback.
Okay. I got four dislikes. That was fun. I didn't get any dislikes.
That looks good. I'm just looking at your, at your hashtags here. So I would definitely add
the, the for you page hashtags that Isaac shared, like the FYP hashtag, FYP hashtag,
and then for a number of the number four, and then you written out page.
There's a little list of FY. I'll send you there's a little worksheet. I think it was on
was that day three? I'll pull it up real quick. Okay. So if you go here,
I'll drop the link here for you. There's like a TikTok, all the TikTok worksheets.
It was day three, I think. Okay. Right here. So this, I'll just copy it into the,
but just add just not for this one, but for the next video, just add that as well to the mix.
It just helps get a little more traction of how it, how TikTok sees it. Okay. Other than that,
and then you want to film it vertically. You do want to film it vertically. Oh, really? Yes.
Oh, okay. That's in day two of the, do we do on day two? I don't remember, but you can see
if Bruce goes back and forth. I kind of went in and out on the challenge. So I might've missed
that part. You only missed the most important part. So your text is getting cut off here.
So that that's something as well. When you do it in portrait, your text will have to be
a lot smaller. You want it to kind of fit in here. I have, who else do we have? Yeah. Like
Liam Brendan. So they put their text like right there in the middle on the thumbnail. So, cause
you can't read the thumbnail without that click into it. But yeah, we're going to go check this
out. We'll check it out. Thank you. I kind of, I'm kind of feel like I'm spread out into all
these things and I've started all these things. I did a YouTube, I did a coaching program. I just
did the TikTok and I'd done all these things, but now I'm just spread into all these things
and I'm a little bit stuck because I don't know how to I guess I'm feeling a little bit stuck.
I'm not really sure how to move forward with all of that and what to put my energy into. And I feel
like I need to just make it better. I need to clarify some things and update it, but I'm not
really sure how to move ahead. Well, you mentioned that you have a coaching program, so that's where
you're obviously making your income. And so that's, that's really the, I would say the hub,
what you're doing. And then for the social media stuff like YouTube and Instagram,
like think of that more of like kind of a top of funnel. Like what, what is kind of the
more intro level kind of content that you could be introducing to people that would bring them
into a deeper dive with you. And when you're around the different social media platforms,
like consider the content, your anchor. So what I do to not feel spread thin is I have, you know,
my anchor piece of content, which is my weekly episode. And then I take that weekly episode.
And from that, I cut it up and do the short format for TikTok and stuff. And that way I'm not,
I'm not like doing fresh content for, and the, and I'm sorry, I'm saying a lot of things, but
sometimes we feel like we have to do multiple pieces of content every week for multiple channels.
And I would encourage you, especially if you're feeling a little bit spread thin or not really
knowing where to invest your energy, do one anchor piece of content. And from that anchor piece,
even if it's an additional piece of content, it's around the same subject matter.
Yeah. Okay. If that makes sense. So like film a YouTube video that could be five or six minutes,
10 minutes long. And then when you're done filming that, just create a few quick 60 second
clips from that. Hey, here's, here's one idea I shared in this, you know, thing, just kind of
a little snapshot of it. But I think that's good. And, and as far as like what to focus on,
I would focus on potentially trying, like just, just trying to be consistent with,
okay. TikTok is probably like the biggest place because you can take that content and you can
also share that to Instagram reels. And you can also share that to YouTube shorts. That's something
we did on day four in the challenge. Okay. Yeah. Watch day four. And that is just taking the
content you have already and sharing it some other places.
Um, and so that will, that means that you'll be, if you just did two or three
of those videos a week, or, you know, even one a day would be a good, I
wouldn't do more than one a day, but you could then be present on YouTube,
present on Instagram, present on Tik TOK.
And you only have to create like two or three clips a day, a week.
Um, so that's
YouTube can be those short little ones too.
The shorts.
Yes.
Let's call it called YouTube shorts.
So, and cause remind me, Holly, you're not, you're not quite, you're
not consistently posting an episode on YouTube, right?
No.
Yeah.
So that's why I start there.
Start with the short form, um, because it's going to be easier to produce
and record and get it out there.
And it makes you present on all of those different platforms.
But when you're thinking about the type of content, kind of think of it
as like, what is the introduction level of what a coaching client could
potentially be like, what are some of the questions they may have that
would bring them into want to know more and follow me more and then
kind of take a deeper dive with me.
Okay.
Thank you.
That's that's good.
That's all of it's all of our content for you guys, for Holly and for anyone
else, like it's going to be really just kingdom messenger TV, everything's
going into that right now.
And so when you guys sign in, you're all of you guys on this
call have a premium account.
So you can basically get an access, everything on the site.
Um, so if you can't get to something, just email us, cause we just need to
make sure your account's been upgraded, but tick tock challenges here.
Um, they're all been pulled off all the YouTube and the YouTube and Facebook.
So this is the only place where they are right now.
Um, but day four was talking about, um, all of what Lindsay just
said with Instagram and YouTube.
And day three, we did all the hashtagging stuff.
I'll watch those.
Thank you so much.
Also, I got to hang out with your mom and dad the other day.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Bruce's mom and dad are in California right now.
So, and we're very jealous because we love California.
It gave me, it gave me inspiration to get back on here with you too.
Good.
Well, it's good to see you again.
They work off commission.
So as long as they signed you up, that's good.
Yes.
Thank you.
Good to be here.
Thanks.
Awesome.
Hey Colleen.
Colleen.
And then we'll go back to Marion.
Okay.
Hey Colleen.
Hi you guys.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
How about you guys?
Good.
It's good to see you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, had a little glitch there as far as getting going on my tick talk,
but, um, I'm still pursuing.
So when I went to, um, do some uploads the other day, um, onto my tick talk
account, um, I realized that I went, when I went to an edit profile, I realized
like, I know that Isaac had talked about sometimes it doesn't give you a link
to, um, um, website, like it's sort of here or there for different people.
But I noticed that I also don't have categories.
Um, and then there was some other ones.
There's background noise, allow duet, allow stitch and more options.
I didn't, I don't have any of that on my tick talk account.
Do you know if your tick tock account is set up as a business
account or a personal account?
Well, see, that's the other thing too.
So when I went in, cause I did, this is, I did this like a year ago, so I
haven't really looked at it too much.
Um, so if I go into edit profile, um, I don't, I don't even know where I could
find out, um, like, is it like, cause I went up in the three bars and it, uh,
it only gives me, um, creator tools and settings and privacy.
Do I go into settings and privacy?
There should just be an edit profile, like right underneath, like when you're.
Yeah.
And I ha and I have that.
I have, oh, there's, yeah.
Yeah.
I have a separate like settings account though.
Yeah.
You go to, um, I'll have to get it.
She's just looking to see like if she has a business or personal.
Yeah.
So you'll hit the three lines at the top and then it says like account settings, I
think, and then it doesn't even give me that option.
It only gives me, it only gives me tools.
So that settings hit the settings and privacy.
Okay.
It should be on that page.
Okay.
So a managed account maybe.
Yeah.
If you manage account, that's correct.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
So right now I have it on a personal account and then it's that's what you want.
That's what I thought.
Yeah.
So, but you're, but when she goes to it's it's edit profile is where you
see the categories and stuff, right?
Yeah.
It's not going to be a category thing.
So I'm, she's just saying that she doesn't, that's your question, right?
You're trying to do it.
Do you?
Yeah.
No, I don't have, I didn't miss the question.
I feel like I'm so sorry, Colleen.
Your question was, you're not able to see categories, right?
I'm not able to see categories.
That's OK.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Don't worry about it, because I remember
Isaac saying that's really important, and I was like, oh.
Yeah, but it's probably not wrong.
So let me just, I'm signing in here to the Kingdom Messengers
account that I will show you.
We're trying to, we'll try to mimic it.
OK, let me get in this way.
Yeah.
Trying to get into our TikTok right now.
Yeah, it's just.
We try to set boundaries and sign out or delete it
from our phone.
We didn't sign back in before this call, so.
Oh, OK.
Let me.
OK, let me.
Do you need to go?
Yeah, I do need to get Hannah.
That's fine.
This is all stuff I can help with.
OK.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Let me just get in here.
So give me a second just to get into the right account.
OK.
I might be wrong, Bruce, but I don't
think it has a category on there.
Yeah, and it's not the end of the world, honestly.
That's not what it's going to be.
So I'd have to take a look at it in more detail to see.
I think I'm a little bit concerned
because I don't have the other option as far as allowing
a duet or allowing a stitch or anything.
I only have that once I post.
Is it once I post?
So when you go to plus and you post something,
once you get to that little bit, it says allow stitch,
allow duet.
And then you can actually allow them all
because they're already pushed.
It's once you post something.
Gotcha.
OK.
So OK.
I just.
Yeah, I didn't catch.
So you were saying that stuff that you've already posted,
you can't change that.
I haven't posted anything yet because I haven't posted yet
because I didn't want to go ahead and do it
in case I had done something I needed to upload,
like restart a new account or something.
You don't.
You probably don't need to.
If you go to the top three thing here, manage.
I don't think you can even like, I
don't think it's the category.
I don't think you've done anything wrong.
OK.
Pretty much everything can be edited.
So yeah, go ahead and upload.
It will be something that when you are creating a content
here, I think that's smart.
Or you can go to someone's content like this.
Yeah.
The dot and then you can do the duet.
You'll see that the bottom right.
So if I open any video, it will basically give me that option.
And I can go to anyone's videos.
Oh, OK.
So yeah, so if I go to like Ben's video, for example.
Yeah.
Of course, it's not there.
So he may not have allowed it to be dueted potentially.
OK.
It's not giving the option to do that.
OK.
Yeah, let me try someone else's.
OK.
Yeah, I actually don't know why that's not.
OK, well, we'll figure that out.
But I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
That's the short version.
Perfect.
OK.
I do have one other thing.
So I actually went in and I changed my name on it
because I mean, we've been in our name
is called Encouraging Creativity.
But I understand like probably with TikTok,
should I do Encouraging Creativity
with Graham and Colleen?
Like, is that too long?
Because I know that when I tried to do that on my Instagram,
it got it won't it won't take it.
Yeah, I would do Graham and Colleen.
Just like what what Lee and Brendan did.
They had Thrive Peer Coaching as like their username.
And they just recently changed it back to their names.
That's just for TikTok.
And Lindsay's is the same.
Like, we use Posture Podcast everywhere.
And then on TikTok, it's Lindsay Van Dale.
OK, because that's what I thought.
I thought probably going by name.
But then you can have it here.
That can mean they're going to know that it's
Encouraging Creativity.
So yeah, some point in time.
OK, perfect.
Thank you.
No problem.
OK, we'll go, I think, Rebecca.
And then Marianne, and then we'll get Laura.
We'll get to everybody here.
Cool.
All right, I have three things I wanted to ask about.
You had mentioned something about,
or someone had asked about.
green screen, something earlier.
I was wondering, is that dealing with how to use
a green screen when you're doing your TikTok videos at all
so that you can change the background there?
Yeah, so that's just an effect if you're in TikTok.
So what I'm helping, what I was gonna help
Lee and Brendan with DaVinci is,
yeah, that's something a little bit different.
But if you're curious about that,
you can do the effects here.
And I think green screen is one.
And so I can, I gotta allow access.
So I can put a photo, I think, behind, or that's a video.
And okay, so it's, there's some weird effects.
Let's be real.
So I don't even know what this is, what is happening here.
So you can upload a photo.
Oh my gosh, this is like just gonna be a comedy hour here.
So just, yeah, so you basically would upload a photo
and you can do all kinds of stuff
where like the picture that you upload is behind you
and that you can kind of point to it or do whatever.
Okay, so I would just go to effects in the app or whatever.
And I can upload something that they have
or upload something that I want to use.
Just, yeah.
Okay, so the first piece is that's how to do it.
The next thing is strategically, should you do it?
No, you should not do it at all.
So don't mess with it.
You see how like distracting it was when I made a show?
That was one of the first things Isaac said on Fridays.
Don't use effects, just don't use them.
I just want it, yeah.
Unless you're doing something very specific
for comedic purposes, then use them.
But if not.
No, I was, no.
Where I have my setup to do my YouTube stuff,
I have a green screen behind it.
And so if I do TikTok there,
basically you're saying I need to go do it
in another part of my house where that screen is not set.
So basically it's like just the bookcase.
I'm not trying to use it to be funny or anything.
I just want it to have a static, but I'll figure that out.
Yeah, check it out.
Yeah, it's also like a personal,
even taking the greens, we have a green screen.
We've never used it,
like an actual green screen to do it properly.
And it's just, it's not worth it.
I don't even use it for Zoom calls or anything, but anyway.
Okay, cool.
Okay.
The second thing was I wanted to ask, is there a way,
or maybe it was mentioned and I just missed it,
to schedule the TikToks to be posted?
Or do I have to remember every day to go in and do it?
Okay, so that answers that.
You have to do it.
Yeah, I think you can schedule it maybe on the website.
I may be wrong,
but really you should be going into the app
and just hitting post.
I don't think you can delay it from,
and if you can, it's going to be a setting
that would come in later, so.
Okay, so it wouldn't be something that,
because I have, I managed to get like five done,
but I wanted to know if I could schedule them
to post every day.
Because I have so many other things going on
and trying to remember.
I leave them on my device,
and then I just, when I get a minute,
I'll just take a second and post them.
Okay.
And then the last thing just had to be,
and I believe this was mentioned in the challenge
or whatever, but how do we repost them everywhere else?
Do I have to do that individually too?
Like take it and then post it to Instagram
and then post it to YouTube and then post,
okay, there is no automatic or, okay.
No, and you just, yep, you got to go through it manually.
So yeah, and watch day four of the TikTok challenge,
we went through like line by line on how to do that.
There's some things you want to watch for with that,
but yeah, awesome.
All right, well, thank you for narrowing it down
to what day to, I thank you.
No problem.
Awesome.
Okay, so let's come to Marianne
and then we'll come to Laura, I think.
Okay, I cannot find TikTok on Google Play.
Instagram?
What I did was I sent myself an email with your link in.
Okay.
Phone, that way I can click on it
and pick it up on my phone, right?
Okay.
Yeah.
Good idea.
It's done.
Another question, TikTok,
I somehow messed something up on my privacy settings
because I can't get the duo or the other thing.
It says my privacy settings won't allow it.
Okay.
So what have I done there that would do that?
Let's see.
I'm pulling up my account here.
So,
sorry.
There we go. So,
if you go to the top, and this may be Colleen's thing as well.
It's maybe if you want to check this as well, maybe same problem but if you go to that top right, where those three black dots are three black lines. We click on that.
There is an option here that says privacy.
Second one from the top.
And then you'll see the do it here is.
You can change it from everyone to friends or only me, who can do at your stuff and that's where you'd want to just leave it on everyone.
Is that what it looks like on yours.
Okay.
You're, I think you got muted somehow, Marian.
We just don't know if you're saying anything.
There you go. Sorry about that. No, I can't find it on here.
Okay, so you went to.
Did you get to the screen here, that's the right screen yes.
Okay, and then you went to privacy.
Oh privacy on that one. Okay, sorry.
Yeah. Okay, do it. I've got do it. Oh it says only me no wonder. There you go. So tap on that and just change it to everyone.
Everyone, and the same with the other one right this stitch as well. You could do that. Yeah, as well.
Yeah. Okay, okay that that sorts that one out.
One more question.
How do you share on check tick tock.
How do you share, like from tick tock to something else. Yeah, well, no, if you, you know people share and then more people watch, isn't that the way it works.
Just talking about shares.
Yeah, so when people so sharing could be a number of things like sharing could be you posting.
So if I go to a video like this.
So if I just go to someone else's video.
Let's see, just like pick someone here.
Let's say we share this video so there's the big share button in the bottom right there.
All of these would count as a share so I could technically send this specifically someone to tick tock.
No, it is shared so as soon as you post it, it is, it is out there it's okay that's that's what was confusing. Yeah, now that the shares if someone else goes in and shares and they use any of these options they texted to someone, the email to someone,
they share it on Facebook, those will count as a share in your stats so if I go back, you'll see that in my creator tools analytics, you'll see how many shares, we're getting, which is right.
Okay.
Now, did you say that it's not good to share from tick tock to Facebook, because their competitors. No, you can you can do that.
Just like you share the link, you can definitely share it to Facebook.
That's, that should be okay, just I wouldn't expect the traffic in the views are going to come from tick tock, not from not from Facebook, it's really make a difference.
Yeah. All right. One more question.
I was starting off quite well and I've been going fine for a long time. But the last month or so my numbers have been down to zero sometimes. Okay.
And what causes that there's something specific.
Let's see, I'm going to pull up your.
My numbers here again I see you're posting your shorts, the shorts on there. Yeah, yeah. And they've got more numbers, which makes.
Okay, I see you. So, 13, two weeks ago, three weeks ago so yeah pretty consistent.
And then what do you mean by do you feel like this one's got one, I had some that were quite high numbers, and then now they're getting lower and lower.
I see and you didn't take a break, or no, not at all I do one every week I have done for eight months.
Yeah. Okay, so let's look at this one.
Okay.
Let's look at your video tags.
video tags to this?
I have added some, but yeah, I would add like 50.
They give you choices. I didn't even see this before.
So this is I'm just this is just like a tool that I use to to
share. Yeah, because they tell you you don't need tags. It
doesn't make any difference on YouTube. Yeah, this is
Yeah, yeah. Hopefully you didn't hear that from us. Because
not at all. No. So we you want to fill the look at that. I
didn't even see these. Yes, this is all down here. So I'm going
to send you the video for that. Okay, thank you. Go watch
group. And I think it's called like keywords. Yeah. There's a
whole tutorial on how to do that. That's one of the most
strategic things you can do on you on YouTube. Okay, thank you.
Cool. Level. There it is. This is the this is the link. I'll
drop that in there. Great. Thanks.
Okay, yeah. Okay. Now I have noticed the same with Facebook,
my numbers going down and down.
I've posted. So try the tags. So consistency is normally the first
thing that causes people causes the views to slow down. But it
looks like you are being consistent. So that's great.
Good.
And so one of them, I got nearly 400 views, but just one. And
since then, been quite a few. Three, I think the last one was
Yeah, I see one with 108 views. Yeah, they're further down,
though, right? Yeah, I was from like a eight months ago. So
they're shrinking. Yeah. So and on the topic of keywords and
tags, this is very different than tick tock, like you can go
back and go and tag, I'll go back and tag all your videos.
Okay, that strategy. So even ones that you did a year ago,
you can go back and fix the tagging for them. I would also
maybe add thumbnails to all your videos. Doesn't look like I
started to do that on Instagram. And I've noticed I'm getting
zeros again. Okay, no one you know, yeah, on YouTube, you
definitely will get better results if you had some text on
there, or something to help tell people what this is about. It's
like an alternative. Now, where do you find the text? You've
got I know you've done something on that. Yeah. Maybe Monica, do
you have the link for that? If you're still here? I don't know
if you're on here. I'm here. Let me go find it. Thank you. Okay,
so basically, it's thumbnails and tags. Now thumbnails. I
mean, I've been putting my own pictures that I've made on
Canva. Okay, the best thing I want. Yeah, I would. Well, this
isn't loading at all. So I would you could if you're using Canva,
you can definitely add some text to it right there. Right. So let
me see if this is on Facebook. As soon as it opens, you don't
even see the thumbnail. Yes, you don't see it. But you do see it
when it's in the list. And so if I'm, if I go to YouTube, and I
just start scrolling here. So you can see these. And the text
is so you can see that kind of have like, I see. Yeah. And it
kind of it's like an ad for people to click on your videos.
This one says like, seven tips for every solo creator. And this
one, this just says film yourself. So it's like and with
okay, okay, someone filming themselves. So yeah. Good. And
yeah, so we'll we'll put some links in the description in the
chat here of where to go for that. I feel like we've done
okay, great. Cool. All right. Thank you. I think. Awesome.
Well, good luck. That's great. Cool thing is thumbnails and
tags, you can go change those forever moving forward. You can
go back and fix those on YouTube, whereas on Tick Tock,
like you post something, it's out there. That's it. So cool.
Let me just jump over to Laura. I know you've been waiting. I do
want to get to you. And I do have a hearts up at 430. Because
that we have another call starting. But Laura, what can I
help you with? My question is probably pretty short. I noticed
when I okay, so I got my Instagram channel up. I have an
old Instagram. It's under my maiden name. And I've had
a lot of trouble getting them to upgrade it to my married name.
So that's kind of confusing.
So I just started a whole new channel on Instagram
with a new email address and posting there.
But I noticed when I uploaded some shorts,
like YouTube shorts and the Instagram reels, it seems like it's a normal post.
Like when I uploaded my short form video to my YouTube channel,
I didn't do anything different.
And I guess they do, they just pick it up
because they know that it's 60 seconds long and it's a short.
Or should I have?
Is there a special way that you post it to do that?
Then it's a short for YouTube. Yeah.
As long as it's less than 60 seconds and it's portrait,
it's like in the vertical, it should just automatically do that.
I know that Monica made like a step by step video on YouTube.
I'll find it for you here on how to post a short.
So that may be helpful.
I'll put that in the chat.
And but as far as.
Yeah. And I think you can do like a hashtag short,
but I don't think you have to do that.
That used to be a requirement a while ago.
But yeah, as long as it's vertical and it's less than 60 seconds,
it should go be classified as a short automatically.
OK. I didn't know if it was a special way that I was supposed to post it.
I did. I think I posted one and it's maybe had five views or something has.
You know, you get a lot more traffic for that on TikTok.
So it's really interesting just to see how different
the different, you know, social media vehicles are in terms of.
Yeah. It's like you're learning.
Yeah, it's just slightly different each time.
Yeah. And I like with my with my YouTube channel,
you know, it's like you said, the growth is slow,
but I pretty consistently have, you know, I don't know,
20 to 35 ish regular listeners that listen.
And I like the people start listening now before I even.
You know, I just posted on YouTube and I don't blast out to other places
like five a.m. and people start watching it.
That's great. Yeah, it's awesome.
The consistency is starting to train people
that there's going to be an episode, you know?
Gosh. Yeah, that makes sense.
I just wanted to point out this is working.
Whatever you did here is showing up as a short.
OK, from what I'm seeing.
And yeah, same thing as as Marian.
But let's just see.
So you don't have any video tags to go through.
Yeah, I made that on my notes today.
I'm like, wow, I need to learn that.
Yeah, that is honestly it's like so one thing we do in the in
like we call level two, like the one of the first things I would do
actually before tick tock any of that is just get your tags working
in here because you can fill and tell YouTube what's in this video.
So scripture references that you're using.
OK, so like all of this.
So like Romans 12 would be a tag.
And then Romans 12 space one would be a tag.
And then Romans 12 space one dash two would be a third.
There's three tags right there.
Just with that one scripture.
Same thing with Philippians.
You could do Philippians two as a tag.
Philippians two space eight.
You don't want to put a line in there. Same thing.
So you could literally do that for all of those scriptures.
And then I would just start to say like praying in tongues
would be a would be one keyword. OK.
And let's see what else you got.
My partner.
And I'm just looking at your description and what and you do want to have
keywords that are in your description.
That's what you want to keyword and words that you said verbally in the video.
All three of those kind of line up.
And and that should be get some good content.
So cool. Cool. OK.
Yes. I'm like, I don't know what you'd say.
Just when I have time, adding,
getting more up to speed with things, you know? Yeah.
And just go back, start with the most recent videos
and then slowly work your way back.
Don't feel like you have to go do all tagging for all these videos by next week.
Just chip away at the one that's most recent
because it'll have the biggest effect on the most recent ones. OK.
And what's cool about that process that I showed in that video
that I linked further up is just going through like.
Essentially going through and
you are they going to give you a score,
so you're going to have like a score that says like
you'll know if you're doing a good job or not, basically.
So they'll give you like a rating as you go through it.
Oh, you mean in terms of the hashtags and stuff?
Yes. There's a if you watch that video, there's a tool called that IQ
that I walk through.
And you install a little Chrome extension and then as you're typing, it will give you suggestions on what so you know what people are searching for.
So, yeah, it'll make a little more sense and then if you have to get stuck with it, obviously hop on next week and look at it more.
That's awesome. Thank you so much.
Awesome guys well we do have to jump off. This is awesome. Thanks for hanging out if you made it all the way to the end.
Thanks for hanging out.
And we'll be back here on Thursday. Okay, for more Tick Tock stuff so we'll see you guys have a great rest of your week, Thursday.
