Okay, I think we're getting live going live will give everybody a minute to jump on if you see the description on in Facebook, you're welcome to click on that and just jump right into zoom.
We are streaming into our kingdom messenger roadmap group. Yes, make sure we're in the right group here.
So I see Lisa's on I see marks jumping on what you guys they're not on sound yet there's Lisa and Mark are there. So if you're watching on Facebook right now feel free to go ahead and jump on the zoom call the link is in the description.
Hey Lisa Hey Mark. Okay, what we love to do when we start off every call is pray, because we want to saturate the hour that we're going to spend together so it's fair if you can start us off with prayer will then we'll jump into some coaching questions would
Father, we thank you so much for bringing us here today to be built up during this open coaching session, gotta thank you for every kingdom messenger that is taking, we're taking steps God, we're taking steps of coming out of hiding.
And so we decided to do roadmap we're going bigger Oh God, so I thank you for the courage and the bravery of God, we are on different spectrums Lord of how much we know and tech and content Lord, but we are here and we are ready, we are ready to go
forward with you. So Lord, I bless every kingdom messenger that will come live on to this open coaching session, as well as those that will watch the replay.
I pray God that there will be some has that there will be some revelation. Oh God that there will be solutions, given Oh God, as we partake in this session, Lord I bless Lindsay and Bruce, as they share Oh God in helping us as we charge forward in victory,
in the name that we pray and give thanks, amen and amen. Amen. Awesome. Okay, I want to do a quick announcement. So if anyone's watching the replay as well this will go out to you guys but before we jump in.
We wanted to let you guys know there's a new roadmap 2.0 I think we shared it last time we mentioned that you guys may have access to it. So I wanted to just quickly share that to you I think I teased it last time I can't remember if it was live or not but it is
live right now. And if you're not in it already you can go to kingdom messenger.tv, and you can go on the left sidebar. We've actually been adding you already so you should already be connected to that group.
I see there's 27 of us so it looks like we are all connected. And you can actually see all of our coaching sessions or anything that we're sharing you guys are welcome to come and get, you know, learn fast and you'll see that for each of these monthly
sessions like there's our April 6 session, you can watch the video and then Tamara has taken notes which is amazing of everything that happened in that call so if you don't have time to go watch a 60 minute video you can skim the notes here and just see
if there's anything that is relevant to where you're where you're at in your journey. So a lot of cool things there. You can head over to content, and we've kind of restructured our entire roadmap to the different weeks and so you can click through this.
You can actually click this little circle and it will mark it as done so if you like to cross it off your list. That's a great way to just mark that you what's done and what's not.
And then just go through there. We've got all our TikTok stuff. And some of the things may have shifted around just a little bit between the old version and the new version but just you can kind of just check the things off.
You can click on one of these modules you can click on it and it will take you into a video, you can watch. And down here on the right again you can mark it as completed, and just keep track of what what you're working on and not working on so that is all there.
So you're welcome to drop comments and encourage other drop your episodes. But if you want to, you can also just go here to join the content. We do have kingdom messenger roadmap.com is still up, I know some of you guys are still looking at this.
We're not going to change this we're going to keep it up all year. Just know that it's kind of moved or I put a little banner or something up here just to let you guys know that there's a new version available so we're trying to get everything into one place under kingdom messenger TV so that's where everything has been moved.
And if you guys have any trouble getting access to that you can just email the help that came to the support.com so I'll probably do a little announcement as well in the group and we'll send out an email but that's, I just wanted to give you guys kind of the heads up.
Awesome. And so we're going to jump into some coaching questions now so if you would like to go first we have a question you can just raise your hand in the zoom room so that's the reaction at the bottom of the screen.
And I know we had Mark and Lisa were kind of first on, so if you guys have questions,
let's jump to you first, since you guys were first on here.
Mark's shaking his head no, I think he's not.
He has no questions. He has all the answers.
Lisa, do you have any questions for us today?
Oh no.
No, you guys are just here to hang out. Okay, how about Jean and Mary?
Oh, you can unmute if you want.
Jean is, she's eating a snack.
She's eating right now.
I've been, I had a busy day. I'm just enjoying this choc-ice.
I'm a little jealous. I would actually like that.
I'm fine, actually.
There are some, it might be something I was asking. I haven't watched the
sessions that were on this week.
Was that on the tech?
Yeah, the techy things. Was that a lot more intense? Was it different? I know Susie said
it was different.
Yeah, I would say the tech workshop were for those of you that feel like you are ready to start.
Not, what we're doing here is we're launching and we're scaling. We're building our audience.
We're kind of bringing traffic to our messages. The tech workshop is for people who feel ready
to start host, like leading their own online communities, their own coaching.
Maybe running an online event.
Running online events.
I don't think so. Not just yet.
Yeah, and the thing that takes the longest is building that audience.
Sure.
And so you guys are on the right, you're in the right place to keep doing that.
It's all part of the same process, right? We're all trying to do the same thing.
But you guys are welcome. You guys have access to those.
We did share a lot of new content that we've never shared before.
We kind of broke down kind of the big picture of what your Kingdom Messenger
movement could actually look like. So more than just a channel or more than just a social media
account, kind of how you can go. We can talk about some of this. Maybe we can summarize it.
Absolutely.
I don't mind sharing some of it. Giving you guys the cliff notes, save you time.
But really it's about building traffic and then building out a conversion
space to get people to kind of give you their email address, give you-
Payment for-
Small payment for something and then ultimately get them into your community or your tribe.
And that's kind of the goal we've been after. So let me share my screen. I'll show you this
one graphic that we think we came out of this. We came up with a tech blueprint.
And so again, traffic, everything you guys are doing now, your YouTube channel, your TikTok,
Reels, Instagram, all those things, you're just building like lots and lots of free
sources of traffic. And it does take time. You have to be consistent. You have to post
all the time and you will build most of your audience. All of Lindsay's stuff has been done
here with this free source stuff. And then we're just now adding, as far as posture goes,
we've done this intensely for Kingdom Messengers, but for posture, we're just now adding some opt-in
things. And so if you go, for example, we'll have places where people have to put their email
address to maybe watch a longer piece of content, or maybe you're going to give away like a PDF of
a Bible study. Like here's a reading through- Like a five-day devotional.
Reading through like, yeah, Bible study on finances. And you've got like all the scripture
references and stuff in a nice PDF. People could put their email address in to get that from you,
or you can even ask them to pay $7 or something like that. So if that's interesting to you,
we talked a lot about that in the workshop. And then ultimately bringing people into different
community tools, Zoom, Mighty Networks, just different tools that are out there, Facebook
groups. So a lot of stuff is free. A lot of the stuff is you can go and use today without having
to pay anything. And some of the stuff was paid. We just kind of gave you our recommended tools.
And one of the things we did on day three was we took all of Kingdom Messengers and kind of
Zoomed out and showed you guys like every ad that we have, and then which funnel it goes to.
And then so we know which pages are in the funnel, where the workshop is, what the content is,
and then which products we sell. Like Kingdom Messenger roadmap, Kingdom Messenger membership.
And now we have the Kingdom Messenger kind of tribe social bundle that we've put together.
So it just shows you like the whole map of that. And we gave you some templates and some
worksheets and stuff. So if that's interesting, it's not going away. You guys are in Roadmap,
so you're all accessed on everything in the site. So at any point when it's relevant to you,
go check it out. We're not going to take it down. And I think from an example standpoint,
you mentioned Posture. So kind of to walk you guys through where I am with Posture and where
you guys are kind of building. I've been building that audience for two years. So right now,
across channels, it's equaling about 100,000 people. But I haven't done much to...
We feel like our email list is 500 people.
Right, right.
So that's way off.
Right, right. Why that's important is because you know I if any of those channels shut down rules change a glitch happens I can't communicate with those hundred thousand people unless I have another way of doing that like their email for instance.
So that's why it's important to eventually start thinking about how do we move people from social media to be able to like, move them into like an email list so that I can continue communication outside of social media because what we talked about in the workshop
is, you know, we're kind of living rent free we're using these free platforms are leveraging them but they're not ours. So we don't create the rules we can't control the outcomes right we can only show up and be consistent and add value.
And so what I'm doing for posture and season eight is I'm doing an emphasis on I'm doing a mentor series. So I'm invited some people that have mentored me and I'm doing interviews, so I haven't done interviews before it's all been me talking me doing
messages, but I've done these 90 minute interviews with some of my mentors and I'm cutting those up into episode clips so like five to 10 minute clips you know that can stand alone, but I'm going to have the 90 minute version of the interview
available on my.
Oh my tribe social platform worship and then so people have to give me an email to watch the full episode so it's still free, but it just is one step for them to start getting back on my email list so that's just an idea maybe some of you guys could utilize
as well if you're thinking okay how would I start to take them from watching my messages on social media. That's just an idea that I'm doing is some of the really longer format content a 90 minute interview, bringing them into my space and then being able to connect
them outside of social media through an email list. So anytime I mean people are just paying with their email address essentially like they're giving some data on you so that you can contact or include them in the emails.
And then, you know, they're getting to watch kind of a little bit longer format and it's definitely a valuable piece so I think this is where people make the mistake with any type of like in the marketing world it's called a lead magnet but some way of getting their email address
pretty stingy with whatever that is so maybe you guys have done this before like you've given your email address for like a free resource or an ebook or something and then you got it and you're like well that was not this is not helpful at all.
That was not, you know, it's just like, so you want to think about whatever it is because every touch point that somebody has with you is an actual interaction so just as if it was in person, you want to make sure that you're making a good impression because
none of it should be wasted and so make sure that whatever it is that you're giving people for that email opt in is something still very valuable like if you're an author, give away the first three chapters of your book you know like don't be stingy with
it don't just give away a page don't just give away a bullet list. And of course it needs to be something that's connecting with your who so what would be valuable to them it might not be valuable for everyone.
Another example I think I talked about this in the workshop, but, you know, natural health is something really important to me so I follow nutritionist I follow naturopathic doctors on Instagram, for instance, and there's one nutritionist that showed
up in my feed and she just shared about here's some like foods that are helpful for healing your gut. And then she, and that was just a social media was a very valuable post to me like oh that's cool to know like these are some top five foods that I can incorporate
in my diet that'd be good for my gut.
And then she had this opt in where hey, I have a recipe book that utilizes these foods, and so I was like oh that's cool so I was able to give my email address and get like a little ebook recipe book.
And what's cool is that at each touch point like I was able to kind of get to know her a little bit more. She was adding valuable value to me but I was getting to, you know, hear a little bit more about how she thinks about health and how she approaches
the questions that she has. So I began to be really drawn to her because I'm like I really like her approach, I like her mindset I like the way that she thinks.
So she's adding value how she's adding value like what she's given to me for free so far has been really helpful for me on my journey and so she does have a coaching program so that is something that I'm considering right now because I, I've got to know
on this journey so far.
And what's, what's cool for you as the content creator when you do something like that is she's not having to manually sent out, you know, ebooks to everyone it's something that she's automated, so she hasn't even met me yet, but I feel like I've had connection
with her, and to the point of like hey maybe I want to go to the next step with her this coaching program so not something that we even really touch on heavily in the kingdom messenger roadmap, but something to be thinking about like as you're going through
there's things that you could potentially add value that you're like man this is so valuable but I kind of feel like I either need to charge for it or ask for an email like like we this is what happened with the 90 minute recording like this is so
But we don't have any kind of subscription or anything to, um, to like a posture membership site.
Right. So we didn't, um, we haven't come up with anything like that.
So we just did like an email opt-in.
So just some things to be building as you go.
You can add these things at any point.
Like we're waiting until we've got, you know, a hundred thousand people.
You don't have to wait that long.
You can do it immediately. You can do it anytime.
But, um, again, not something we really even take, uh, spend a lot of time on in the roadmap.
Uh, but just something that if you're, if you guys were kind of giving you guys a summary of what happened last week to save you some time.
So here's one more kind of mindset thing that I would love for you guys to be considering as a content creator online.
Often out of the goodness of our hearts, we just want to give it away.
We've done a 90 minute interview and it's really rich and meaty, or we've done a 90 minute session course session that we want to give away for free.
Sometimes it requires people to, um, act upon, like even if it's giving their, their email for them to give it the value that it deserves. Right.
So if I just posted the 90 minute interview on social media, I don't think enough, I don't think people would really pay attention to that.
They'd be like, Oh, great. Like maybe I'll watch it, but because I'm going to be putting it behind, uh, the currency of like, Hey, give me your email and you'll be able to get access for free on my like website.
It's people will take it more seriously.
So that's something to sometimes you're like, well, I just want to make it easy for people. I just want as many people to be able to access this, but there is a mindset with people of when there's an exchange, whether it's money or their information.
They take it more seriously when they've invested something. So that's why it's important like to be start thinking about your content, especially some of you who have longer form format content, like maybe you have a course or you have some teaching
sessions or things that are much longer. Consider how to utilize that or present it in a way where people will take it more seriously and not just skip over it in their newsfeed.
Right. Awesome.
I was thinking, I'm just going to see if I can get, there's a template here.
I was trying to say there's a super easy way to grab the email, but anyway, we'll look into that.
I didn't, I was going to see if there was a quick way.
Awesome. Well, I made him a comment there as well. But if you guys have questions, you're welcome to raise your zoom hand or your real hand, and we can get your, get your attention.
So this time is just for you guys to ask questions from us if there's even if you don't have a question but you just want to talk like there's a topic that you'd like to cover.
Well, we can dive into some teaching and coaching if you guys want, or if you're like this is what I'm currently working on.
Can you give me some feedback and my other things I could be adding to this or there. I mean, I think that's important to we could just go ask everybody that I think there's people.
We could go through it, I don't want to make anyone calling on people, Mark is a very confident person so we'll start with Mark I just want to hear from you mark because we talked a lot with you last month so like what have you been working on this month
like what are you been putting your hands to.
Unfortunately, I was only able to get a few episodes out I have not gotten past week one.
I was rear ended in a car accident back in September, mid September.
Right after I started driving in after having major foot surgery, my time in the military.
So, basically I've been experiencing a lot of pain, and
I think I got about three or four episodes out.
I know Tamra.
Usually she watches and thank you very much.
I'm hoping to get, get back into resuming week two.
I don't want to just start something and not be able to really delve into it once I started week one I, it took me a while but I finished it so so that's where I'm at.
That's my update.
I was hoping to watch that interview you did with that guy without chase. Yeah, but I wasn't
ready.
I'm engaged we're planning a wedding I had a wedding.
Two weeks I'm going to see my, my granddaughter was born two months ago so awesome life is happening I'm not complaining.
But, you know, when I do those videos you know I take that very serious, and God is faithful.
I'm averaging about 300 per video, I guess, my likes keep going up.
I'm out there on the tick tock. Yeah, one of the guys my former wife's nephew stayed with us for six months, he's in the army compliments of being able to live with me.
So, he started following me he's over in the Middle East so we kind of chatted a little bit so that was.
Really exciting, but I'm grateful for the content you guys have.
Um, fortunately I'm not that familiar with the older version of roadmaps.
So hopefully, yeah, just forget that it exists.
That's all you got.
Like what's great is, so here's, here's an encouraging thing.
If you're already doing the first two weeks, so, so, so week one is like
set up, which sounds like you've done week two and week three is just the
TikTok, uh, training we did in January.
It's it's reedited and it's simplified.
And I would say if you guys are busy and again, and you just want to be doing,
we, we don't necessarily want to be like shooting for the bare minimum, but I
understand there are seasons where you only can do a certain amount,
like there's just a lot going on.
The TikTok approach, 60 seconds of content.
You're filming it on your phone.
You can do it in the car.
You can do it when you're, you know, anywhere, not while you're driving,
not while you're driving, but while you're parked, but basically the, uh,
it lets you just quickly get a thought out and, and, and do that.
Um, the new platform is just kingdom messenger.tv and you
should all have a log in there.
I see Edgine was asking.
Um, but, uh, yeah, so for you, Mark, like, I think you're probably on week
four then on the new system, if you've done some of the, the TikTok stuff.
Um, I would make sure that you're just taking, if you're going to do a post,
post it to TikTok, but then immediately post that same video to Instagram
reels and YouTube shorts, a little bit of a learning curve to do that for the
first time, but now you're creating one post and you're getting, so you're
getting one piece of content and getting three posts out.
Um, and I think that's in week three or four is where that would, I can pull it
up, but, oh, um, the only word thing I mentioned to you was after that last
class, Facebook shut me down and, um, I don't know, I don't know.
I don't even know what I did.
So I, I applied for the reinstatement on Monday, they reinstated me with no
comment to this day, I still don't know what I did.
I don't think I did anything.
No, we had a client who has 300,000, um, followers on Facebook and his account
has shut down for two weeks for like no apparent reason, like, and then just came
back and then just came back.
So, so you're in good company.
I don't think there was any re like, I don't, he's not posting like
controversial information.
It could have just been a glitch, but we, there was never any explanation, but I
feel like if you're just wanting to, if you just have enough time to focus on one
thing, like Tik TOK, like if I were starting all over again, if every, if all
my accounts were wiped and I start all over, I would go full on into Tik TOK.
There's so many people on Tik TOK.
It's not, but it's from a creator standpoint, it's not as saturated as some
of these other platforms and you will be able to scale and kind of gather that
audience way more quickly.
And as a creator, you'll be able to get your content, your creative reps in
because it's shorter format content than say like a five minute or 10 minute
teaching.
So keep on keeping on.
So the merit.
So yeah, this is a cool testimony from one of our members and, um, just on the
back of what Lindsay just said.
So she's just passed like 5,800 followers, but check out this one video.
I have to try and find it.
Here it is.
So 131,000 views.
Um, and all she's talking about is like, are you questioning your salvation?
This is how, you know, if you're saved or not.
And that she's getting like overwhelming response on like
great engagement in her comments, having good conversations with people, really
helping people out.
And it's all happening on Tik TOK.
Yeah.
And that's, that's only because she did, she kind of went through those first two
or three weeks on the messenger.
So that's something that you can get going.
It really helps build that confidence of talking to the camera regularly, which
does take a while just to kind of get over, you know, it just takes time.
Yeah.
So I did a live video.
Yes.
I made a bit of a mess.
What'd you think?
I did.
I didn't know how to switch.
You did a live video where?
On the Facebook?
On Tik TOK.
Oh, on Tik TOK.
Yeah.
So let's pull it up.
And you don't, you don't, there's nothing in my file to say it was live.
We're going to pull up your account.
Yeah.
It is a little strange.
It like, you don't know if it's live and then all of a sudden it, um, so here's
Jane.
Yeah, but then it doesn't, you know, when like, uh, Marion, you know, when you've
got something in, um, in your own, of your own videos that you've posted, but when
it's live, I didn't see anything.
I mean, I'm glad I didn't because it was, it was a start anyway.
I can't remember what I was talking about now.
I was reading a scripture.
I'm trying to see if I can find the live.
So I wonder if the live disappeared, if it didn't save after it went live.
It could have, is it still on your account?
No, I didn't say, are you supposed to save it then?
It may be an option to save it.
Honestly, we haven't done a whole lot with-
We haven't done live on TikTok.
Let me get to your actual account here.
I'm just, I don't know why that's, the URL is not working.
I'm looking for Marianne.
Anyway, yes, I think you're,
I don't see it when I look at it,
but just see if it's on there.
But yeah, that's, look, the point is you went live
and that was, you got over the fear
of hitting the go live button.
That's huge.
Going live and making a speech.
I was reading scripture.
I thought, come on, they don't have to look at me
if I just, and I've got to,
my daughter, she lives in New Zealand,
and she goes, mother, why don't you just talk
like you're talking to me?
She don't have to come out
as if you're sounding like the queen.
That sounds like a family member comment.
I know, but my husband's are the same
because everybody's Irish here.
Everybody speaks, and I'm very English.
So anyway, yeah.
So I'll have to figure out, I'll have another go.
Yeah, just keep practicing.
I think that there might be an option at the end
where you can save it to your profile.
So you just have to make sure that you click that to save it
otherwise it goes away.
Well, it was just, I was so nervous.
It's perfect practice.
And that's the thing, guys, with those things
is like, you can go live and then you can delete it.
No one ever has to see it.
You know, but what's just as important,
and this is like still me, like over two years in,
like in no way do I consider myself seasoned
because what we've talked about with you guys before,
every content creator is always growing on their own journey.
Like there's always something more to become skilled in.
So being able to do it, it's not just,
you want to bring value to your who,
but it's also bringing value to you
because you're becoming more seasoned and more confident
in doing new things.
And the worst thing you can do,
I mean, this is why I'm doing something new with season eight
is just to keep doing the same thing.
Like, because that's familiar.
So I'm doing interviews for the first time, right?
Like I'm, it's so much easier for me
to just hit the record button and now,
and talk and do my own episodes,
but it's like, I'm trying something new.
And that's important because it, as a creator,
like I'm growing in a skill now, an interview skill,
being able to extract somebody else's message
into a conversation and be able to translate
and bring that to my who.
So I'm always growing in something.
Is this TikTok you're-
I'm doing it in, it's across all platforms.
So what I'm doing-
So you're recording it first and then putting it up.
I'm pre-recording it.
So, and I know that some people do live interviews.
I think that's my next step,
but I wanted to take baby steps into the process
because the thing about live is I know
that the algorithm would give it priority
if I was doing live interviews,
but I haven't done interviews.
I mean, I've done interviews before, but not for posture.
And so I wanted to pre-record it
to make sure that my guest was comfortable
with what we were doing.
I was comfortable and confident and then I can release it.
And so I think my next thing
after kind of doing this series,
we'll be doing some like live stuff
where we're doing interviews
and we're interacting with people live.
Like we're taking questions live,
but that was a lot of things at once.
How would you do that?
Would you do it like doing on a Zoom now?
So I think what I would do is I would do it natively
into like, I would stream it either live into YouTube
or do a live on, I probably would start with Instagram
only because right now Instagram
is my highest amount of audience.
But I wanted, I would probably do like it live in Instagram
or live on TikTok, that's my second largest audience
because I think the algorithms would give it more priority
that it was native on their platform
using their live stream tool.
So that's something I would probably,
and also it comes across less professional
and people like that.
Cause I feel like, oh my gosh,
like I'm live with Lindsay right now, right?
Like it's a little bit more approachable
and accessible to people
than if I was doing like a studio interview.
So how would you, if you did a studio interview,
you'd have somebody there next to you,
is that what you're saying?
Like you're doing it together now.
We did it virtually.
So there's a great, there's two great tools.
You can try and see which one is the easiest for you.
We personally use an app called Restream.io.
I'll drop the link.
There's actually, I'll grab a link here.
There it is.
So I'll drag, this is the link to Restream.
And there's another one that I have not used personally,
but one of my friends uses it a lot called Riverside FM.
And it's for specifically for like doing interviews
if you need that.
And so I actually,
I was being interviewed for another company this morning.
and they were using Riverside and so it's very very easy to use there's one big record button
and then it keeps all the files for you and then when you're done you can go back and edit it
however you want so. Thank you. Good. Okay so Mary you I think had your physical hand raised
and I think you had a question about Instagram so. Yeah I've never figured it out and I think
I'm getting people tend to follow me on Instagram quicker than on TikTok for some reason
but I'm not getting very much on Instagram because I'm having problems well one of the
videos I uploaded it and never never got posted and I'm not sure what happened there
it keeps telling me to try again later but then I did one since then and it I didn't have any
problems with it but I also I don't know like on TikTok I go to my profile and I can see all my
videos but I don't know where to find all of them in one place when I go to Instagram I've just.
Gotcha. What is your? Do you have a video is one of the is there a video on how to do Instagram
and in your there um cluster yeah the so I'll drop a link here um let's see here so there's
um let me let me show you this instead so how I'm gonna get to this if you go to Kingdom Messenger
TV um then you can do you can just there's a Instagram button here and all the different
topics that you guys are looking for kind of in this little uh bar at the top and you can
kind of scroll back and forth you can also just go to the top here and type Instagram and hit
enter and then all of our resources and the entire site will be here and you can actually
click through and watch particular trainings that's related to Instagram so um that's how
I would get there if you're looking for resources but yeah let's take a look at your specific
account do you know what your what is your Instagram username um or if you want to drop
a link to it well see this um is it Mary it's not Mary Gordon it was Mary Gordon with an s on it for
uh TikTok so I'm not even sure what I did with Instagram I'm yeah are you on are you do you use
it on your computer no I've never done it on my computer I've already used it on my phone yeah
so if I go to where it says my story Gordon is this it right there I found you is that you
there you are that looks like you that's me you got a lot of videos it's great um
okay so let's just look for like one word I'll just see if I can find it for you real quick
no okay well if if you find it and you have problems with that you can definitely tag us
in uh in the Facebook group and we can definitely take a look at that look at it
um there's a a piece I know you so also welcome to Mary because she signed she just joined like
a few hours ago we don't have all the links yet yeah so we or else I would have your links there's
one of the the steps in the roadmap is to submit all your links to um us and we create a little
dashboard for you and you can track your growth across all your channels and so um that is um that
is all available but um cool yeah check out those resources if you have questions just find us on
Facebook and and tag us in the roadmap group and I can answer any other things you can even take
screenshots and stuff too if you're like this is what I'm seeing like what am I missing here what
it could be um what I could just check here posture I'll show you on lindsey's the way that
Instagram kind of structures this um oops why is this not sharing there we go so when you're on
Instagram week we have a feed which is all your posts you see like there's a post
yeah button here you can also what you may be doing is posting them on the reels and all your
videos may be under reels they are okay so that so that's where your videos are so when you post
them I think there's a check box that also adds it to your feed I think it says like add video to
feed and for now like while you're getting you know not doing I would go ahead and add all the
reels to the feed yeah and then that when people land here they see it there as well yours may be
blank but I would go ahead and you know have that in there so I never okay the page you're showing
me I've never found it on my phone okay it's just it's what people other people would see
when they see when they look at your content
So it's just your profile, but on your phone, it is.
Yeah, I mean, I'm I don't know if you can see that.
Yeah, that's like your I think it looks like your reels.
That's that's your that looks like your profile.
Yeah.
So I think it's what would your question was like, you didn't know if the videos were showing up.
So I think they are, but these are some of these are some of these like this one here is is these two are the same video.
But one of them is what I doctored up and posted.
And the other one is just the raw video without the music or any of the other stuff.
Okay, gotcha.
So there is a way to delete videos if it's not you said there's so there's one up there that you don't want to be up there.
No, I just but there's one I tried to post that never posted.
Okay.
Sometimes we've seen glitches like that. And you can just sometimes you just try the next day we had actually Marion Judson who did her we just showed her Tick Tock all of her videos were sideways for like a few weeks.
Like it was nothing she was doing but like Instagram. Tick Tock was like turning all of her videos 90 degrees so she was just like sideways on the video so it's nothing she did but there was a bug on Instagram.
So sometimes just try it in a day or two.
And that should, you know, should solve it for you.
Okay.
I had something really neat happened to me.
Just an hour before this was a fit call with a group fit call with under decks.
And I don't know if everybody knows what that's about but it's freedom and truth is basically inner healing.
And we had to call it experience, and then bring it up to date to see what Jesus was showing us now well my experience that came to me was something way years ago, when I was, I was in Kentucky sitting on a rock.
And there was this little, literally, it was supposedly a bush but literally it was just a branch, maybe three or four branches, and there was a phenomenal number of birds landing on this branch that all different colors I remember Cardinals Robins everything I mean it was phenomenal.
It was not like a natural thing and, and God told me, he's showing me my audience that people are coming from all different kinds. Did this one little branch.
And today in the fit call, bringing that up today because this was years ago, Jesus showed me a huge tree and birds nesting and having babies and it was just so cool.
I love that. That's so cool. Well yeah and that's, I feel like that's like, you know, you just kind of putting. We actually have used the the tree analogy for, you know, your account because you're essentially creating each of these pieces of content that you're sharing.
It's like a leaf right and you end up with this massive tree with all this different content, and it just gets bigger and bigger and people can see it for you know further and further away, and we'll get some more visibility so absolutely wonderful story.
Good testimony.
Awesome.
Well we're glad you're in the group.
Any other questions that you guys have at Lindsay will be back here in a second she's just grabbing Hannah real quick.
But we can take any tech questions, anything where you guys are getting stuck.
I'm not sure it was everybody able to get into kingdom messenger TV, you guys have any, you know, issues getting in, just let us know.
It's American get get you in.
So,
Okay, well we can we can
talk through
the tick to I'll try to summarize what Chase shared on the tick tock call it's also on there we did a little interview on Monday with with Chase Chase chapel is is a tick is a Facebook ads guru and I don't really like the word guru but a master will call it.
And he's also been doing some tick tock ad training so just like Facebook has ads like tick tock now you can run paid ads to be in front of more people.
And so sometimes if you don't have either have time or you have money, so if you have more time than just do more posts, but if you don't have as much time, then what you can do is put $5 $10 a day towards some tech talks and just boost them into front
more people.
And so that way you can only do you only need to do like one or two maybe three a week, and then it can be getting the same kind of reaches if you were posting every single day.
bit about that strategy. And he shared some really cool, you know, case studies where people were
getting from zero to, you know, 100,000 followers in six weeks on TikTok. And that's why we want
you guys starting on TikTok because it is kind of like trying to learn how to start a fire,
but also having gasoline, right? It's actually, it's kind of hard to get it wrong. So just be
consistent with it, do the tags, do the, you know, the music, like, you know, got to go through all
the steps that are in there. And you can get some really great response from people just very,
very quickly. So that's why we always put it at the front. And then what we've kind of rearranged
in the new roadmap is moving the long form content, that five to 10 minutes, 15 minute content,
moving that further down into like weeks, like six or seven, because you want to make sure you've
got some audience. You don't necessarily want to create a five minute or a 10 minute recording
and not really have anyone to show it to, right? Like, so that can be very discouraging
because you spent like creating a five to 10 minute piece of content, getting your script
written, recording it, editing it. It's quite a bit of work versus just posting a quick 30 second,
60 second TikTok. So that's just a way to go very wide, very quickly. And then by adding the long
form content, you can go a lot deeper because you can't really change like someone's thinking
on something in 60 seconds, but you can get them to, you can spark their thoughts and get them,
get an idea in their head or just get them to consider something different or just be encouraged
or share a verse or anything. You can do that in 60 seconds, but teaching someone into how to,
you know, you know, how to build your prayer life or how to, you know, manage your kingdom finances
or manage finances the kingdom way, you're gonna need more time. And so those things tend to be a
lot more work. So just put those later on. If you've done some of those, it's totally fine.
It's all good practice. There's no specific formula, but just if you're going to focus your
energy and you're, you're still, you know, getting off the ground, put more energy into the short
form content, it's a much more, it's a better way to leverage your time when you're scaling up. So
I don't know if that helps anyone, but that's what we've seen work really well.
Awesome. Cool. You guys are all so quiet today.
Ruth, can I mention something? Yes, go to her. So Gene, can I just tell you, I enjoyed your live.
I actually caught it. I saw the notification that you were live. I clicked into it and I saw
you speaking on Psalm 23 and I was completely blessed. It was on time for me. I don't know
if you got to see, I did comment. I don't know if you noticed that or not, but I was commenting.
So just to let you know, I know sometimes we can be our worst critics,
but I thought it was awesome. I thought that, you know, as you travel through the Psalm,
it was edifying to me. And so just wanted to share with you, I did get a notification that you were
live and I clicked, touched on it and it took me right into your life. So just wanted to encourage
you on that. And that was on TikTok? Yes. That's awesome. Yeah. That's great. I think you have to
have over a thousand users, maybe followers to get, to be able to go live on TikTok, but
see what it did. Like people who have followed you, it actually does a push notification to
their phone to say that Gene is live. And then you just tap on it and you're in there watching it.
Instead of just, I have to go to TikTok and be scrolling and then I just happen upon your
content. So a live is a way to just sort of push it out to people a lot more to make sure they get
their attention. So in a little bit more, you know, it's, it's definitely scarier to go live
and just be sharing something, you know, with everything being, you know, live, but it's great
practice. So very powerful way to reach your community. Thank you so much for that. I appreciate
that. It was just, I suppose I didn't know, didn't realize it was still going because I hadn't done
it before, but I think you have to go up to the top right-hand side and then click off. Because
yeah, I was going through the notes as well and bringing, it was the passion translation and it's
so wonderful. Yeah. It's a lovely version. Thank you for that. That's awesome. And one thing you
can do is just remember that it is live. So while you're practicing, one thing you can do is to try
to see the comments, like bring the comments up to where you can see them so that if someone jumps on,
like you see someone watching, you can say, Oh, I see Tamara jumped on or, Hey, how are you doing?
Like, or they may ask a question like, Oh, I love this. Or have you, you know,
can you tell me more about.
it's like just respond because it's very much a it's like on a zoom call it's kind of two-way
it's not just like me broadcasting to you but it's a little bit more of a conversation
thank you that's gonna be a great way to connect with your um your audience so
i should have said hello shouldn't i
don't go back and watch our first live videos they're way worse don't don't worry
everybody yeah your first videos are your worst videos that's the beauty of that is you can
delete them so i see lisa's got her hand raised so yeah i was just um wondering for so if we want
to get people's email addresses like just to send out even you know whatever communication
what would be the would you like suggest the click funnels as part of that to do that like
how would we do that to start collecting email so you absolutely can do it with click funnels
i think that um i'm gonna pull up the site so there's a tool called um and i want to make
sure this is 100 free before i share it um i don't know if it is
uh let me find it here so um if you have an email service like mail chimp for example or we
recommend active campaign um they have a little landing page builder in there um they're not
necessarily free but they're very cheap you know five ten bucks a day 15 15 bucks a month not a day
a month 10 bucks 15 bucks a month um there's a i think there's like a tool called convert kit
i don't know if you've heard of that um click funnels is great it'll do the thing you want
it's just a hundred dollars a month and so it's kind of unless you have people get like putting
in their credit card and paying for things on there it's a little hard to justify something
like that um so i would start with something that's free i know i let me see if i can just
i just wanted to confirm this one was free and then i'll share the link but um yeah so convert
kit looks like it is free so make double check the pricing here i'll drop a link
here these aren't any kind of affiliate anything i just quickly searched for it um
so we would have to send them from somewhere to this because i'm thinking about how we actually
get get that email yeah so you would have like like an action step or something in one of our
videos or yeah we could probably make a little tutorial on this um or i can just find one on
youtube that walks here but there's i just confirming now it's a free totally free um up
to 300 subscribers um and then i think it jumps to nine dollars but at that point as well like
300 subscribers you can easily like move to another tool at that point um if you want to
move off of free but that should get you started but yeah what it will be is it'll create a ur like
a link for you that could say like you know watch my uh video or you know it could be like a pdf and
so what um you can do is have they put their email address in they'll hit a button and then
on the second page it will show the video it'll show them the the download there um and so that's
where uh that's where it'll um that's a good place to way to do it so you can say in your videos even
at the end of your videos you can just say um hey if you'd like to you know sign up for our
mailing list or whatever i'll notify you like when new content is available or something you just want
to make sure that you're giving some sort of value and that way you can kind of capture their email
address there so so if i'm doing that in a video like it's just a tick tock for example um do i
just like put a url like at the end of the video in the yeah good question yeah so what you want
to do is there's another tool called um there's a lot of there's a lot of tools you can use but
i'm going to drop a link here to a tool called solo.to um and this is a in this that video it
walks you through how to set this up but solo.to and let me just share my screen um there's a video
here i dropped in the links also guys we drop a lot of links in these calls and what's cool is
uh tamera is amazing and captures all these links and they'll all be in the notes and they'll all
get emailed to you after the call so um you will get that at some point so if you're like oh my
gosh there's so many links i can't copy them all down you'll get you'll get them um and uh so this
is a great tool and what it does is it
create something kind of like this. So I'll show you Lindsay's. It's got her picture and it's like
a little mini website, but it's on this platform and it's totally free. So if you don't have a
website, but you want to send people something, you can put this link. And so you asked where
to put it. So that's the key thing. Let's go to Lindsay's TikTok. You can actually add it. You'll
see it's right here. It's basically where it says like your profile link or your bio link.
You just have one link there. And when people click on it, they just are taken to a site like
this. And then that way we were able to send them a lot of different ways. So we have this new
soaking soundtrack that you can listen to, which I highly recommend you guys check it out.
So, and then there's all kinds of people can go watch on YouTube this. So you could say,
like sign up for the email list as one of your buttons. And that's, so what you would say is,
Hey, if you want to do mailings, like find the link in my profile or Lincoln bio. I even saw
someone use, sorry. Go ahead. Yeah. And that way you only have to ever keep that one link there.
You never have to change this link, but you could always go and swap out all these buttons.
And it's very, very intuitive and easy to make changes to the, to the page here. So
cool. Thank you. Yeah, no problem.
So definitely recommend doing that, even if it's just like one or two buttons and at least people
can get, cause sometimes people find you on Tik TOK, but maybe they like to watch on YouTube. So
lots of people kind of go between that. And I think you can set up all your different links
to like your website or whatever, right. On that one little page. Okay. Yeah. And it looks like
this. So if we have like a website here, you know, you, you label it, what you want to call
it, and then you can put the link that you want to take people to. So there's some other paid
features, but you can do all of it through the, to the free plan. And it will even show you like
how many views that page is getting. So you can kind of track the traffic, which is cool.
It's a great little free tool. We're all about some like free forever tools that you don't have
to actually pay for it. So awesome. But yeah, that, that is on there on Kingdom Messenger TV.
And what you can, as far as the Tik TOK goes, you can make some text at the end that pops
up like a little card or something where, you know, you can add text to the video.
You can say, you know, link in bio is something like that with an arrow or something.
So people can just tap your picture. They're going to your, your, they go to your profile
and they can just tap that one link. So makes it easy. And then you can use that link everywhere,
right? Like you could use it on every platform you have. So it always sends everybody to that
middle page where like every, all the links are there and then people can go from there out.
So it's a, it's a good, good tool. Cool. Just, and what was it? Solo. Solo.to. And there's a video
that I made, which I dropped here in the chat. So it's the last item there. And it's about a
little eight minute or six minute video that just walks you through where to go,
how to click on it in detail. So there are, there's a lot of tools like that. This one is
great because it's totally free. There's things like you've probably seen people use like Linktree
and other tools like that. Those are just typically have some sort of like $5, $10 a month. So
this is free. Sweet. Awesome. Cool. I know I see Donna and Denise,
do you guys have any questions? How are you guys doing? Life's good.
Hi, I'm Denise. This is my first time. Oh, Hey, good to have you.
But I've been signed up for, I think about three weeks, but life has happened. So I haven't been
to get in and start my classes and stuff like that. So today was my first time I can get in
and at least listen. So I'm so excited to be a part of this and learning and getting my message.
Well, I'm gonna say the Lord's message out on kingdom living. So I'm working on content. So
that's the little thing that I'm struggling with right now. So are you, that's awesome. Well,
we're glad, glad you're here. And are you, so you, you've kind of figured out who you're talking
to your audience. Who's that? People who are, who find that something's missing in their walk,
because for me, I've always.
serve the church serve the church in the church, but I knew that there was something more than
just sharing the gospel, but actually living it out.
So I am focused more on people who know that there's more and want more in living out the
kingdom and how do you do that.
So it's really people who are Christians that are in the church, basically, I'm not so much
people who are seeking to ask questions about salvation or about Christ or, but those that
are already in the church knowing that there's more.
That's good and walk.
That's great.
And are you, is it particularly for women for moms?
Is there a particular age group?
Women?
Yeah, women and not women are basically like 21 and older.
Okay.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
So yeah, anything you can do to niche that down, like go to where it feels unreasonably
niche down, like it needs to almost feel like, I don't even know if there's people who want
this.
So, you know, you can go to, Hey, I'm going to moms with kids who have, you know, we have
kids under five who live in, you know, the South that, you know, are Baptists or had
Baptist like upbringing or something, you know, you can go very, very specific.
So don't feel, don't feel too bad because then it gets really easy to create content.
Once you know who you're talking to, like, it's really easy for one of us to have a conversation
with another person on this call because you're just talking to one person.
It's easy to talk to one person, but when you're just going live and you're on the internet
and you're talking to everyone, it can be difficult because people, so many different
people are going to see it.
So it is easier if you can, even in your mind, like Lindsay did that for hers.
Like she picked the certain age group.
She has a friend named Hannah who, you know, she was basically making the content for Hannah.
Like that's what she did.
Now there's a lot of people who are older than Hannah, younger than Hannah, men, women,
people, Christian, non-Christian.
We have people who are Mormon, like what, listening to her stuff.
And it's great.
Like it's not slowing anything down, but it made it really easy for her to just talk to
that one person.
Yeah.
So you can even pick a friend or you can pick yourself, you know, maybe you've figured
out years ago that you could go deeper, that there was more.
So you can talk to where you were, you know, that could be another person.
You can talk to where you were a few years ago and it just makes it easier to create
content.
So it's good.
Awesome.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Just, just do it.
It's hard to mess up.
Awesome.
I saw Donna, you were unmuted as well.
How are you doing?
I, I'm doing well, but first of all, I want to say thank you to Tamara.
I keep on sending little notes to say something and you always respond and it's always very
encouraging and thank you very much.
So anyhow, I haven't really done anything.
I do try and I naturally speak to people and, you know, I have this executive prayer to
the Lord.
I'm ready to talk and whatever, you know, will come up, whether it's the supermarket
To try and do that on camera, I, I just find it really, really difficult and I'm surprised
that I find it as difficult as, like I actually would have to put my hand up and say, I'm
afraid.
And when I was thinking of that, I think there's a, you know, it's a, like an old war wound
that sort of keeps raising its head.
Not when I'm in the supermarket talking face to face to people, but when I'm on, try to
do it on camera and I practice with my phone and that just seems terribly contrived.
So anyhow, I'm glad I'm on roadmap for life.
Don't hold your breath, everybody, waiting for a first, a first live.
Yeah.
And one, so first off, I think everybody on the call is exactly where you were at some
point and, and in varying degrees, like just cause you figure out how to go live or you
feel comfortable going live to a particular group, you'll be immediately called into something
else.
The Lord wants to upgrade your thinking and talk to a different audience.
Even today, like it's easy for us to get on and talk to kingdom messengers.
we do it all the time. But today I was on an interview where I was talking to a tech business
audience who weren't believers, who weren't, and it was just totally different. I was very
nervous about it and it was only, it wasn't even live, it was just pre-recorded. And so I feel like
that's just something that's going to continue to evolve and Lord's going to keep upgrading you
and your thinking and your identity in that. But yeah, on a practical note, I think
of it like, I think we just have to find that cause, right? The why we're doing this. If you
had a friend or a family member who needed prayer or you needed something, it's kind of like,
you know, they needed encouragement, right? Like I would just pick up the phone and just talk to
that person and say, Hey, I just, I'm praying for you. Or I shoot a text message or something
like that. Think about your post, just being like, we're talking about to Denise, like sharing that,
talking to that one person, just hop on and just, just to encourage that one person. Cause you don't
know, you kind of have to break through that, that veil, if so to speak of going from a consumer
where I'm just watching a lot of content on these platforms to someone who's a creator, who's
actually adding value to it. So that's just more from a strategy standpoint, as far as like,
see if you can find, ask the Lord about this, like who's the person you're supposed to be
talking to? What encouragement do you want to have? If you feel very confident that the Lord's
given you an encouragement, or maybe it's just a verse to go share, Hey, I was reading this verse
today. I just wanted to share this with people today. Cause I feel it'll encourage someone
could be that, that simple. Don't have to be too profound. I think that's where a lot of people
get hung up is they, they, they have an incredible knowledge. And I know you've been in church
history and I know, you know, this is the content part is probably not a problem for you.
And so I think that that's something where we, we, once we hit record, especially we're looking
at ourselves on the camera, then all of a sudden we try to be something that we would find
interesting, but we forget that there's like a lot of people who just want to be where you are
today or where you were a few years ago. They'd be thrilled to be where you were a few years ago.
So just don't feel like you have to overdo it. Like you can just be very much yourself.
You just know who you are. You know, your identity or the Lord's called you to be,
and just be yourself. And I'll say from a, on a practical note, feel free to make a video
on your phone and just share it into the roadmap Facebook group, if you want, or go live in the
Facebook group. If you guys want to practice, this is, this is the whole group right here.
Like we're all, we're all doing this together. If you want to practice going live and figuring
out where all the buttons are and all that stuff, just go live in the group. There's
20 something people there. We're all figuring like everybody in that group is figuring this out.
And it's a very safe place just to get over that initial fear of hitting record and then
sharing the content. So it's not going to the whole internet and everybody in the world. It's
just going to a safe place where we're all can encourage each other and, and, you know, share
that. So, but yeah, one of the things that, you know, if I'm in a supermarket and I see a baby
and I usually approach the mom and say, Oh, I can't resist babies. And, and, you know,
we usually have a chat and the, the, in the conversation, you know, you're wearing it up
and just listening. And I love to bring up that scripture. Even as I was being together in my
mother's womb, you know, God knew all about me and all of the time, all of the time, you know,
I'll be cuckooing with the wee baby and saying to the mom, there's a verse in the Psalms. I hope
you don't mind me sharing, but I just, your baby just reminds me of, of it. And they say, okay.
And I share it. And all of the time, the mother or the granny or the aunt, they say, Oh, that's
lovely. Oh. And then they hold their tummies and say, Oh, Oh, do you mean God actually knew
that my baby, you know, that, that, and sort of asking questions like that. You see, I love that.
I really enjoy that. I don't know how I would ever do that online. And it's a whole eye contact
thing, smiles, you know, backwards and forwards questions. It's animated. So because I love that,
I kind of create this scenario that I can't do it online. You know, that's, and I don't need you,
I hear what you're saying. I'm just saying where I'm at at the moment with that, you know.
So I think that's great and I think I would keep that picture in your mind of that's who's
listening to you, right? Because sometimes, like, especially if we've been in ministry before,
we've been in various situations, like, that's not always the response you get, right? Like,
sometimes you've not been heard right or people took stuff that you said the wrong way or things
happen, right? So I think having a picture of someone like that who's listening on the other
end makes it very easy to talk to someone. Like, you've done that a few times in person
so much and you've got such a good response that you're okay doing it again, right? It's the same
way. Like, if you have to do that for the first time, it's just building, like, that thing of
getting feedback because you're getting that immediate feedback and it is much different.
Even on a Zoom call like this, it's hard. Some of us are muted so it's not really like
we're in a room together. It's very, it's just awkward sometimes. So that's just something that,
you know, we have to just, you know, build that skillful hand to keep building those necessary
skills to be able to reach people on the other side of the phone because they are there. They're
spending time on those platforms. And maybe even just if you feel like, I mean, I feel like there
was so much compassion that you're sharing of just this young mother. So I would, you know,
start your, say, hey, if you're a young mom, I just want to read this verse for you and just say,
just know that this is, you know, your child has been done this, have a blessed day. You know,
that could be that, that simple. But, you know, ask the Lord, whatever you're feeling is good,
but don't feel rushed. Like we're not trying to rush you to do this. I just want you to be
encouraged that I feel like you do have something to share. And I think it would really bless people.
You know, and it, yeah, it does, there's definitely fear involved no matter like what,
but I think it's, part of it is just pushing forward to that, trusting the Lord and trying
to get right. So we believe in you. Bruce, could I jump in? Yeah, go to Meredith. All right. Just
really fast. Can I just say this to you, Donna, the way you could think of it this way, you can
still have that interaction through the comments. I was just sharing recently how, this was actually
for my YouTube channel. I got a comment from a lovely young viewer. And so she was so blessed
by my message and even on TikToking. So those are ways that you can gain that interaction,
you know, with those that you're talking to, because, you know, they will, I promise you,
a young mom would be blessed by hearing a blessing over her child in her womb. I promise you,
you'll get a few amens, you know, there, and you can just kind of interact a little more. And
some people will even say, I've noticed on my TikTok and also YouTube, just all on the platforms
I'm on, they'll say, oh, I needed this today. I see that comment all the time. I so needed this
today. So I concur with Bruce, you have a message, no rush, but you definitely have a message that
someone needs to hear. So I just pray that breakthrough over you that, you know, you will
just walk into what the Lord has for you because you, someone needs to hear what you have. It's
unique to you, Donna. And so I just bless you with that to be able to walk courageously through it.
I know online is a different way of doing it, but honestly, that's kind of the way the world
is kind of going now. You know, you can, as Bruce and Lindsay always say, you can touch
people all around the world, you know, online. When I check my analytics, I see people from Africa
and Australia. You can see that people from all around the world is looking at your message,
you know? And so it's just a way to just accelerate that and touch, look, people literally
around the world, those young moms, those older moms around the world. So just that was just an
encouragement to you. That's all. And I second what Bruce said, definitely be led by peace,
you know? So when, you know, not saying a rush if you don't feel ready, but I just wanted to
encourage you in that, that when you start to receive comments, that's another way that you
can kind of have that face to face, so to speak, you know?
Yeah, thank you. I received that. Thank you very much. Thank you both for you. Thank you.
And I'll just say as well, as maybe one of the younger people on this call, like our
millennial generation and the Gen Z, like we need more spiritual fathers and mothers
online sharing, sharing encouragement and wisdom. And I think that there's just so much
that you guys, everyone on this call carries that you guys have the wisdom, you have the
experience you've walked with the Lord for a long time. And I think there's, I think
there's something that, well, we've get excited about is being able to help you guys figure
out the tech issues and the comp, you know, get familiar with it so that you can share
your message and so you can touch people and encourage people. So yeah, be blessed. Thanks
for sharing that and being vulnerable to share, share where you're at. I think I'm
sure that will encourage other people. Cool. I know we're a little over time here. And
if you guys do need to hop off, no pressure, but I'll, I see Mark got his hand raised.
I'll take that real quick and then we'll wrap here real quick, Bruce. One of the things
I struggle with is I don't use a whatever those things where they post the text up for
you can read it. I forget what the teleprompter. Yeah. Um, but it takes me a while to get through
the text before I can post a video. Cause I keep screwing it up, even though it's only
about a minute long. You figure it out. Let me know. And if you figure that out, let us
know. I'm just making sure I'm not the only one out there. Yeah. I mean, Lindsay will
do her four or five minute piece, six minute piece, and she'll do 60 takes like 60 times
with reading this teleprompter with reading it word for word. And she's been doing it
for two years. So be encouraged. Um, I, I think that part of it is where we're all kind
of doing so many different things. Like sometimes it takes a few rounds just to do it again
and again, cause your mindset, you know, you're doing jumping from one thing to the next,
just getting the mind space and get your mindset right. And kind of let the words and
the message you're trying to share. And I'm sure it's getting adjusted as well. You share
it the first time, the second time, the third time it may, maybe it's getting more fluid
and more clear. Um, maybe you're changing a word here, there. Um, so yeah, I, I don't
think there's a way to, um, over that. I will say it does get easier with time cause you,
you, um, just get more familiar with how to structure, you know, talking to the camera
and answer your sentences and stuff. But, um, one bit of advice that I saw, this is
for anyone who's, I mean, just getting used to hearing yourself on camera is, is it's
very awkward. Um, but one, one, a bit of advice I saw from a creator yesterday, he was saying
you need to, if you want to practice and just get confident and build that, that, um, confidence
is, you know, pick up your phone, hit record. Don't have to post it anywhere. Just record
a piece that you get it to where you think it's really, really well done. And then listen
to it once with the, with the, you know, play it back and just listen to it. Don't watch
it. Right. Just listen to the words, make notes. Okay. I'm saying this, I'm saying,
um, I'm saying, ah, I'm saying, you know, this, or I'm too soft. I'm too loud. I'm too
monotone. Make some notes, then play it back a second time where you're just looking at
it and it's completely muted. So you're just focusing on like, oh, is my, are my eyes like
looking over here or am I getting distracted? Is it too close to me? Um, and then the third
time, if you want, you can write out the words and actually go through with a highlighter
and like highlight or delete words that you were saying, if I'm saying, um, um, um, you
know, too many times or, uh, which we all do, right. It's just part of, it's just part
of how we communicate. Um, so that was a little pro tip, which I heard yesterday and I'm going
to probably put that to test, uh, later this week. So, um, but yeah, just keep doing it.
Get those creative reps in, you'll build those creative muscles and then it will be
second nature to you. It's like driving a car. The first time everybody drove a car,
we were thinking, okay, two hands, you know, break gas, like where's everything going.
And now like we all just get in the car and we just drive, right. If you don't think about
all the pieces of it. So same thing with, I call it the, uh, Sylvester's suffering
succotash syndrome that I've never had in my life. Yeah. What teleprompter can you
use with an iPhone? I mean, how do you hook it up? Um, check out like prompt, prompt smart pro,
um, is a great one. It's, I think there's, there's one that's called teleprompter.
Um, I think if you search teleprompter on kingdom messenger TV.
teleprompter. There's an article here, let me find it for you. Because we did get that
question quite a bit.
That's one of the reasons why I haven't put more out because, you know, I'm ended up sitting
in a chair for two hours.
Yeah, it's
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, obviously being military, you know, you can't you screw up
in the military, people die or cost a lot of money. So that's the standard I'm used
to. And yeah, but also, I just, I don't want the message impacted or distracted. And I'm
not feeling guilt syndrome or anything, because they can't understand what I'm saying. So
yeah, I just want it to be right. That's my heart. It's not good. Yeah. And it's all practice.
Like each time you sit in there recording and over and over again, it's just practice.
Right? So
Okay, great. But yeah, I dropped a link in the chat there. You can just go to KineMessenger
TV and just search teleprompter. There's like four or five videos and resources there of
different apps we'd recommend. And there's there's a lot of free apps for your iPhone.
So that's great. Okay, awesome. We'll have a great month. We'll see you guys. And we'll
see you guys in the Facebook group. We're praying for you guys. We're rooting for you
guys. And we'll talk with you guys soon in the next next month. So awesome, guys. Have
a great week. Bye.
