Hey guys, how's everybody doing?
Everybody.
How's everyone.
How's your week been going everyone okay.
For the most part.
How's Lindsay doing.
She is doing well. She's watching Hannah right now.
We think Hannah's woke up yesterday morning with a fever. And so we tested this morning which we think she has coded as well.
But Lindsay's feeling better she was just having a lot of like throat stuff so she will not be on today but so but she's definitely better she's up, and, you know, so it was only like a couple days but, yep.
Hannah's been getting better like her temperature is going down so we're, we're good but it's been it's been a bit of a week.
Appreciate you guys being flexible and switching up the times and stuff for us we still wanted to glad we get to still connect with you guys this week but that's awesome.
Let me I need to get us live on Facebook which we're not.
Yeah, if you want to start tomorrow with some shares we could do that.
I see you, Marcella you already you have a win. Go for it.
Yes, I'm excited.
I started with kingdom messengers in 2021. And while I was on the slow track that I would call myself that I know Lindsay was on she probably, you know, thought me virtually upside my head but it took me a while but on my Facebook page, I have over 1000 followers.
Mine. That's awesome.
So that's amazing that was that's my biggest win and then the second is all of this week. I've been working on really getting clarity on my who and so I believe I got it kind of narrowed down so now I'm just, you know, kind of taking the wording
into that statement that I held with by all of those things I'm putting that but I got clarity really fine tune clarity and so I'm happy about that I'm just excited.
Awesome.
That is amazing more Lord in the name of Jesus growth growth growth.
Anyone else. Oh hey Susie, what's your win. Um, I got my origin story done. Yay. And I have taken serious steps for doing my challenge I started a Facebook private group, and I managed to get myself tangled up quite a bit in, in that and in trying
to figure out how I get my tick tock off the computer and onto my phone.
That frustration of struggling and then realizing, oh wait wait now the whole purpose of this is to acknowledge how dependent I am on the Holy Spirit.
So, the day after struggling with the tick tock, I suddenly room after as Lord suddenly remembered my username and password and in out and it came up, and so yeah I'm really excited about stretching out I've set dates for my challenge, and I've already
I'll probably have a big enough challenge just with friends. So, I'm awesome.
That's good. That's, that's the best way to do it first, right, just to only just, it's a great practice run because everybody they know you very forgiving.
That is amazing. And I have to shout out look unless she wants to shout out.
Go ahead, Mark.
I just a little bit late sorry about that because I had to check what the registered numbers are up to.
And they're up to 70 from Facebook.
So, I.
Yes, so there's five from my website and 70 from the Facebook and I just.
That's awesome.
I'm so blown away. Yes.
When we get into it I'd love to, if you get mind sharing like you're like what you're running as an ad like how much you're spending, what results that I think that'd be helpful for other people to just kind of see someone doing it.
Borrow some ideas.
That's awesome.
I know I wanted to give a shout out to Michelle, but she is like just a few people short of 1000 on tick tock. So, I noticed that, but your stuff's been looking awesome.
You've been doing some editing and some really
cool videos on TikTok.
They keep popping up on my feed, so.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like TikTok is my slowest growing one.
I started doing Instagram reels every day.
These identity soundtracks on reels on Instagram
and they are blowing up on Instagram.
Blowing up.
Like thousands of views on each one.
This is for my small group at church.
But yeah, so I haven't quite figured out the TikTok thing
probably cause I'm not using their sound
and they're trending everything.
So I'm trying to play with hashtags a little bit
and stuff on TikTok.
TikTok feels a little slow to me.
Got it.
Yeah.
Well, well done.
I'm glad they're showing up.
Good.
Thanks.
It looks like Amy, you have a win.
And then.
Yes.
Well, I mean, you know,
anytime you hear from the Lord, it's a win, right?
But this, I feel like this was specifically for you all
and the Lord gave it to me.
I mean, for this group.
And he took me to the book of Zechariah in chapter eight.
And I'm going to read this from verse 12
and it says the seed will grow well
and the vine will yield its fruit.
The ground will produce its crops
and the heavens will drop their dew.
I will give all of these things as an inheritance
to the remnant of the people.
It says, oh Judah and Israel,
so I will save you and you will be a blessing.
Do not be afraid.
Let your hands be strong.
And then, I mean, if you just read the rest of that verse,
but the verse at the very end is the one
that I feel like is just in this season
where we're like beginning to form groups
and minister onto a different level,
which I haven't started that yet,
but it says, this is what the Lord Almighty says.
In those days, 10 men from all languages and nations
will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe
and saying, let us go with you
because we have heard that God is with you.
So I just, I believe that like they're,
like the followers, each of you as followers of God,
and as you like get what your purpose is to your who,
they're gonna go, yes, I see that you walk with God
and I wanna walk with you.
I wanna learn how to do this.
So that's my win.
I believe, I really, really believe
he's forming those groups.
He's prepared us to sow the seeds.
He's given us what to sow and I was encouraged.
This is confirmation.
I'm gonna let you go, Marcella, then I'll pray.
Go ahead, Marcella.
I just wanted to add, Amy,
that just resonates with me so much.
And when you were speaking,
I was reminded one of the other things to celebrate,
because sometimes I forget in all the things in the way,
that they come to celebrate, right?
So I was working in my 100X family room
when I got my who, clarity about my who,
I reached out and got help, but what I was reminded,
and I know a lot of you don't know my whole story,
but there was a stop in my life
after I graduated with my PhD
and I did my whole dissertation on clergy and their families
and the psychological implications of serving.
I had all closed doors, all closed doors.
I finally got a full circle moment in my family room
in discovering my who,
as my group helped me to discover it and give the words
that it was all from my dissertation,
the work that I had done,
that I had totally forgot about my dissertation
because all doors had been closed,
had not used that research, had not done anything with it.
And these people that did not know me,
my history or anything helped me to get the words
and it was just what I researched.
So I just wanted to kind of just highlight
like what everybody's saying,
how the Holy Spirit will just bring the pieces,
even from 2009 that I thought I would never,
I thought God took me off that track.
I'm never going back to that.
That's over with, I did it.
Great job.
Okay, Lord.
following you, he brought it full circle.
So I meant to thank you.
We are praising God for full circle too.
And I love what you're saying about,
we don't know when the seed's gonna sprout.
And Amy, you were referring to the seed too.
We have a new song about good ground.
And you know, some falls on the wayside or path
and some on the rocky ground, some falls in good ground.
And we don't know when it's gonna sprout up.
So even these ideas,
like God's really been pressing us to scatter.
And so that's my report, right?
It's like, our job is to scatter the truth in love,
to just share truth in love.
That's what this digitizing this message
with Kingdom Messengers is sharing the truth in love
even wider than we can in our own communities
to go global with it.
But this week with TikTok then I've been pushing
and we did get at least one video out a day.
Some days it was two, but I just counted
and it was 22 videos since our last Zoom call.
So that is because we are encouraging one another
and working Kingdom strategies.
So thank you for that encouragement.
Wow, like, go ahead, Laura, and then I'm gonna pray
because y'all are popping up like popcorn.
Okay, so I do, I have a small win.
I would say I'm not really,
I'm a little bit further behind you guys
in terms of like subscribers and stuff.
I'm up to I think 47,
which I've had more subscribers coming on board
and I like rejoice for every subscriber,
you know, every person who comes on board.
And I'm really just like getting used
to doing my creative reps.
I feel like I am getting into a good groove
and it's about my rhythm with the Lord
because I'm trying to learn how to come up
with something fresh from heaven,
from the Lord every week, you know?
So just learning how to do that
and how to put it out in something
that's under 10 minutes for me is incredible.
And that has really been a learning curve.
But I did have something interesting that happened
and that is one of the pastors from my church
inboxed me and invited me to do like, you know,
have you thought about doing a small life group, you know,
and just basically said, you're a great teacher
and, you know, encouraged me to try to bring some people in,
you know, from church to some of that teaching.
I'm not certain truthfully if I have time
to add anything else on my plate,
but what it told me is that a lot of times
people are listening in the background
and you have no idea who's really listening.
You don't really know where the seed is going.
And I've kind of, I'm just not looking right now.
I'm just learning how to get the message from Jesus
and not worrying about like, you know,
how many boxes I'm ticking, how many people are listening.
I'm just putting the seed out there,
learning how to fellowship with him
and come into a good rhythm with him
and letting him do what he wants to do with it.
So it's actually really, really fun.
Absolutely amazing.
And I just have to confirm the word that Amy was,
all of you guys, it's just been like a thread
and I see Walt is on, he has a challenge coming up too.
So God is just doing amazing things in this group.
And so I knew obviously for the most part,
I pray, you know, when we open up,
but the Lord just kind of impressed certain things
in my spirit just to speak over us.
And one of the things was newness of life.
Like there's a fresh fire, a fresh revival.
No, we won't be stale.
It won't be hard because it's just gonna be those downloads
that are coming straight from heaven.
So like an open heaven above us.
Newness of life.
He also gave me Isaiah 61, seven.
I just wanna read that over us
because I believe it applies to many of us.
Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion.
And instead of disgrace, you will rejoice.
You will rejoice.
You will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land
and everlasting joy will be yours.
So father, we thank you.
Father, we thank you for the growth.
Lord, we thank you for, it is what you're doing in us.
It's marvelous in our eyes.
We are growing personally, we are growing collectively,
and it is all your doing.
To you alone be all the glory, be all the praise, oh God.
Lord, we just come with a heart full of thanks
that, Lord, you want to partner with each and every one of us,
oh God, to touch lives more than ever before.
This world needs you.
Our families need you, our communities need you,
we need you.
This world is dark, and it's getting ever darker,
and you have called us truly for such a time as this.
To spread your light and love, to bring truth,
to bring clarity, to bring healing, to bring deliverance,
to bring growth in the spirit, to enlighten
the eyes of their understanding.
I thank you for the bravery of each and every one of us,
oh God.
We come from different backgrounds, different ages,
different churches, everything could
be different about all of us.
But yet, oh God, you saw fit to draw us together.
You saw fit to connect us, because we are family.
Doesn't matter our nationality, doesn't matter
our financial status, oh God, none of that
matters, because that's all temporal.
That's all temporal, none of it will go with us, oh God,
when it's our time to transition into glory.
But God, we thank you, Lord, for your Holy Spirit.
We thank you, oh God, for what you have instilled in us,
oh God.
I thank you for the obedience of every person on this call
and those that watch, oh God.
For the obedience of us to answer the call,
to answer the call for your people are crying out,
and maybe they don't even know it.
Maybe they don't even know that they're crying out for you.
But we're here to give language to that.
We're here to bring light to that.
So God, I just thank you for this group.
I bless, oh my goodness, I bless Bruce and Lindsay.
We cover them in your blood right now, Lord Jesus.
We cover them in your blood.
Full recovery, no residual, oh God, from any infirmity
in the name of Jesus.
Oh God, we bless you for them.
We are grateful for them, oh God.
And we ask that you restore, that you replenish,
and you renew, and that there will
be an abundance, an overflow for Bruce and his family, oh God.
An overflow of anointing, an overflow of provision,
an overflow of your love and goodness, oh God.
Let it spill out and run over.
And we just thank you for that.
I thank you right now for all of us
that have challenges coming up.
We plead the blood of Jesus over every challenge
that is coming up, oh God, this weekend
and coming up shortly, oh God.
We thank you, oh God, for those that will be healed,
for those that will grow in their Christian walk,
in their prayer life, oh God.
We thank you for all that you will do, Lord,
in these upcoming weeks.
And it's in Jesus' name that I pray and give thanks,
amen and amen.
I'm so sorry, Bruce, that I went a bit over.
That was good.
I'll take all the prayer we can get.
This is good.
I appreciate it.
I was going to just say, this is an awesome way
to kick off the call.
You guys just hearing all the testimonies
that are being shared.
Yeah, this is awesome to hear.
It feels like everybody's got something going on
or had some sort of breakthrough in the last little bit.
So that's super exciting.
I know a few of you guys have joined
since we first jumped on.
But really appreciate you guys praying for Lindsay.
She is feeling better.
She's up watching Hannah today.
And we did find out, I think, Hannah may have COVID.
So we're just letting her rest up.
But appreciate all the prayers.
It's been a little bit of a busy week.
And again, we appreciate you guys
being flexible and jumping over to a Thursday instead
of Tuesday.
So awesome.
Well, we do have a couple of people
who filled out some things.
And I'm just going to go kind of in order how they arrived here.
And I think Susie was the first one.
You had some questions about TikTok.
And then I've got Lee and Brendan.
And then we've got.
And then we've got Holly as well.
And then anybody else has questions after that,
we can go for it.
So I got pretty much untangled, thank you, Lord,
so that I can get on my TikTok on the computer.
But since I have an iPhone,
I wanted to be able to access it on iPhone,
and I was having a hard time with that.
And I don't know if that's something
anybody else really needs to know.
Probably everybody's already doing TikTok on their phone.
So I can, you know, get on Google or something
to see what I can find out.
Yeah, are you just saying like
you're recording it on your phone,
and then you want to like move it from your phone
to your computer or the other way around?
I am now uploading TikTok from my computer.
And I want to be able to do it from my phone
so that I can add music,
since I can't add music from my DaVinci, correct?
We can't put music in our-
Yeah, you can.
It's just kind of a missed opportunity
to tag something, some trending music.
It's not the end of the world, though.
You definitely could.
I know that you can,
I've had TikTok on my phone,
and I've sent it to my computer with Drive.
Can you do it the other way around?
I would think you can.
You can, yeah.
Google Drive.
Just having like a central place to put files.
If you are on Mac, on a computer, desktop, and an iPhone,
then iCloud is very easy for that.
If you're on a PC or Android,
Google's going to be really great for that,
just Google Drive.
And again, you just kind of put one folder
that you use for like transfers or whatever,
and you can just put things in and out that way.
But yeah, Google Drive's probably going to be the easiest
or a Dropbox or something like that.
Essentially, you're just taking it from your phone
and you're putting it on the internet somewhere,
and then you're going to your computer
and downloading it from the internet back down,
or vice versa.
That's what Marianne is saying.
I think my question is,
I have an account on my computer.
Can I get that access to that account with my phone?
Oh, yeah.
The TikTok account?
I think that's a kindergarten question.
Did you say the TikTok account?
Yeah.
Yes, absolutely.
So you just have to download the TikTok app on your iPhone.
Okay, and have the correct username.
Yeah, right password definitely speeds things up.
So, okay, so I'll just do that.
I was wondering, I guess it's a moot point,
if there's any value in having a separate TikTok account
on my phone versus a computer,
because with a computer,
I'm doing like one style with the computer
and I'm going to switch on to another style.
Should I just go ahead and do that all in the same?
All in the same account, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, or else you're going to be twice as much work
to keep it all moving.
So, cool.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Good luck with it.
Awesome.
Sweet.
So I think we had Lee and Brendan.
How are you guys doing?
Hey Bruce, you've answered that question I just saw.
I went back on Facebook and saw that you said
that's a really good beginner guide
to just set up the automations.
So we'll kind of follow that.
But we also had a question around,
which we didn't put in there about website,
like a website developer,
any suggestions on not website developers,
as us taking back on board our website and learning,
what's that?
WordPress.
Any good links?
That'd be great.
Or advice.
Yeah.
Yeah, advice around, yeah,
editing and updating and sort of changing the website.
Yeah, I think you guys are using Elementor.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Okay.
So sometimes there's,
but the information is everywhere for all of these things.
It's the problem is also trying to figure out
what the question is.
Like, what question do you type into Zoom,
into Facebook or into YouTube to search for something?
And so, yeah, what I would say is like,
look for like WordPress Elementor tutorials
would be a good place to start.
And there's probably going to be some like guy
who's got, you know, 100,000 followers
and has all the tutorials.
And you'll find that they're the actual,
the company Elementor that makes that tool
will have tons of free training.
They don't charge you for any of those courses or anything.
So, because they obviously want,
the more people who know how to use it,
the more people will buy their stuff.
So you guys already bought it.
You guys are using that plugin.
We did not use Elementor but we used another tool called Divi, which is very popular. And so that's that's how I went like on their website they almost have like their own little e course on their website, at least on the Divi side so I'm sure Elementor
has something kind of like that.
And you can just kind of go from top to bottom and it definitely but it's definitely worth learning because it's one of the two or three big ways to build a site so it's not some obscure thing that like no one ever uses.
It's very popular, and it's definitely something, you know, so.
And Bruce do you know, do we have to know coding and things like that.
No, not at all. It's a drag and drop.
If you've seen us like put ClickFunnels pages together and kind of drag and drop ClickFunnels.
It's the same, all kind of the same idea. Yep. Yeah, so as long as we've got like the login details because if we just do it on our own now.
And the person that set it up for us has got like his, his login details we just need that from now on we can. That's how we take it back. Yeah.
Yeah, as long as you can get in, like the way we did it the other day.
That's, that's all you need it that's an admin account so you can do everything you need to from there. So, thank you. Awesome. Thank you. No problem.
Okay.
And I see Holly's on here and you had a question about narrowing down your niche so I'll try to help you but if you want to, we can always bring it up again with Lindsay or have, I can have Lindsay mentioned responded on Facebook as well.
I don't know if you were.
Hi.
Yeah, so, well, let me, I'll just ask you this because after doing Pedro's thing. I just felt like I needed to narrow it down a little more.
And,
I get confused with the wording, you know, I don't know if my niche is quantum healing if that's my niche, but the reason why I'm having a hard time narrowing it down is because I have this system that I use that really will work on any life issue.
And so what I'm doing is finding the root of people's problems so people will come with a life problem whether it's, you know, anxiety, depression or a mental issue or whether it's a relationship problem in their marriage or whether it's problem with their kids
or even physical issues, and I find the source of that issue and eliminate the source. And so I was talking with Teresa, and she was helping me and I wanted to run this by you.
And so what I did because I want to do a challenge or a workshop, would it make sense and tell me if this is too broad would it make sense to do different workshops for and to categorize them like if you're struggling with depression do a workshop
for depression. And then if you are having like problems in your marriage do a workshop for that. But I'm using the same system for all of these things.
Yes.
The short version is, yes.
There was so that it's the same thing like we kind of for Kingdom Essence, we came up with this system which was like leveraging the digital landscape so each of our workshops or challenges are like leveraging TikTok, leveraging, you know, this tool leveraging
Facebook like it's basically it's just the same. It's the same concept, just applied in a lot of different applications. Okay.
The other thing I will just mention, and we, this is something I took away from our, we had our masters mind group yesterday. And I just want to get this exactly right but it was something Pedro said and I think Stephen may have said as well but your, your challenge
is on what and why.
And then what you sell them afterwards is the how to. And so, we're, we don't do a good job of this yet we're trying to get better at that because the goal for the challenge is just to say here's what it is.
Like, that's kind of the focus and then if you are going to do coaching, then it's the step by step walkthrough of how to actually go through that so an idea would be like, hey, you should be leveraging TikTok for your ministry, because it's amazing because there's
all these people because there's always and just giving a ton of reasons and you're talking about what it is actually, and why.
But we tend to because, you know, we like to go right, right to the technical okay everybody go to this screen and click on that button and do this thing and, and that's where it needs to be that needs to be in a course or a coaching thing afterwards.
So, you don't give them the tactics is also I've heard it say you talking more strategy, and then the tactics come afterwards that's where you go and actually implement it so it can be applied to pretty much any topic.
But I think that's a great idea and I think the work.
workshop concept that that's very, um, in right now to just do kind of, um, either
a challenge or just a one-off workshop as well.
Um, I'll, you know, if you guys are thinking a challenge might
be too much to do initially, like just do a host, a, a one hour free
training on your website, and then it takes all the pressure off and you
can just talk about one topic.
You can just share the thing.
Cause if you don't have enough for three days or five days, you just really feel
like I could, I could really talk and go deep for one hour, you know, just share
it, put on your YouTube channel, see what the response is, it's a great way to
practice, um, and just get comfortable with it, but we're going to be doing,
we've done a few of those this year, um, for kingdom messengers, cause it's a
great way to do that between challenges.
Cause challenges are a crazy amount of work.
Um, so doing those, like you could even do a monthly workshop
or something like that.
Just a free
a monthly workshop.
Oh, yes.
That would be great.
And then, okay, go ahead.
No, I'm saying you can't make it paid.
Like it doesn't, it can be, you can start free, but you can also charge $37 to,
to, you know, be the, join this thing.
You know, I was wondering about that.
Cause it seems like if people pay whatever the amount, even if it's small,
they're more likely to commit to it.
I don't know.
But, um, and then the, I have another question about Tik TOK.
Um, is it like Instagram where I want to follow a bunch of people?
No, not really.
Cause I have a bunch of people that have followed me and I don't
know if I should follow them back.
Cause I don't want a bunch of people's stuff on my thing.
No.
Uh, well one, the, you following someone is, is pretty low down in the priority
of what you're going to see in your sort of your feed on Tik TOK.
Um, they don't really have a feed.
It's just kind of one video to the next is what they serve up.
Um, there is, if you guys have noticed on Tik TOK, there's kind of a tab at the
very top that you can toggle between the four for you, or what is it called?
There's, there's two tabs up there.
So if you do want to just see only the people that you're okay.
That's Hey, I pulled up.
What are the odds?
Like, what are the odds of that happening?
Oh my gosh.
There's there's Holly right now.
Um, that feels weird to see my face right there.
Yeah.
That's what you call artificial intelligence at work.
Yeah.
Yeah, there are devices definitely aren't listening to us, but here's
Holly, who was talking on zoom.
Um, so, but there's a tab at the very top.
I will, you probably can't see it, but it just says for you on the right.
And on the left, it says following.
And so if you do click over to following, then you will only see
the people that you're following.
If I follow people, am I, does that help me get more followers?
Not really.
No.
Okay.
Um, and, and the, the, the, the followers are, are not as important on Tik TOK.
Um, uh, I'm still researching this a little bit, but the short version is
like the watch time and the amount of views is everything on Tik TOK.
Um, if you go to one of your metrics, um, and I'll see if I can share my screen
here, cause that would be helpful, but if you go, um, I'll go into my onesies
profile here, um, I think you go to the settings, the creator tools and the
analytics, you can actually see, there's this one really, really interesting
metric, um, that is, let's see live videos.
I'm going to find it to be awesome.
Followers.
Uh, I'll, I'll find it, but basically what it, what it is, is it's showing
you the, um, how many people that are watching your, what percentage of people
that are watching your stuff are actually following you?
Um, yeah, I think Liam Brendan may have it right there.
Is that on the, it's on the followers tab.
New followers.
It shows like how many people go look at your profile also.
And that's kind of helpful.
Well, there's a lot of, yeah, there's really a lot of really good stuff in there.
Um, there's one metric though, that just tells you like how many people that are
watching your content are following you.
And that number on average is five to 10%.
So be encouraged if you have 500 people following you, like there's a good chance
you have 5,000 people actually like watching your stuff regularly.
So, and that's where the following isn't as, um, critical.
So, you know, I mean, we, we track it definitely, but, um, there, there is a
metric and there's a number somewhere where it'll tell you specifically for your,
um, channel.
And if I can't find it, I'll, I'll make a little video on, on somewhere for that.
But, um, anyway, that that's the, that's kind of the, the main thing that, that I
would, I wouldn't worry too much about the following back and forth, like who's
following you, you're following them.
Um, it's just people who like, once they see something from you, maybe they
like really want to make sure they don't miss anything from you.
So they are following you.
But I have a lot of people that I see regularly in my feet on
Tik TOK that I've never followed.
I just, I watch like when their video plays, it's 45 second video.
And I watch all 45 seconds or a good portion of it.
Tik TOK takes it.
They now understand that I really like this piece of content and they'll
keep showing me more, whether I follow them or not, it's kind of a little bit
more, um, you know, intuitive, intuitive that way, they're going
to kind of figure it out for you.
Um, so, but I'll find that metric and I will share it somewhere.
Cause now I know it's somewhere in here.
Great.
Okay.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Oh, and your, your niche, did you feel like you answered that question?
Um, well, the niche, that's not necessarily my who, that's
something different, right?
The niche is, is just my area.
Right.
Yeah.
It could be your area.
Yeah.
We typically say like niche down on your who, or who do you want to serve?
You know how you're trying to take the digital landscape, that type of thing.
Well, I'm doing the same thing in this area of healing and energy stuff.
I'm trying to take the territory cause it's been hijacked by the new age people.
So I'm doing the same thing.
So I don't know how to, I don't know how to describe that.
I don't know the words to say for that.
Yeah.
I think there's something in there, like even taking back, um, even in how you
position it, uh, you, maybe it wouldn't necessarily title a challenge with this,
but just in your own thinking, it could be like, it could be a specific peak group
of people it's for woman, it's for moms, it's for whatever, like whatever niche
you want to focus on who are, who are, um, you know, looking for healing in a
particular area, you know, uh, uh, using, and then your method, right?
Like using, um, your things.
So then you could kind of just swap out each, each of those topics, um,
for a variety of workshops.
And you can just do a whole hour workshop on one of those things.
Cause what you're generally saying is like, this is my methodology and then
you can apply it to your family relationships, your, this, your, you
know, your health, your whatever.
And then you can different types of health.
Do you have like an infinite amount of topics that you could cover?
Yes.
Okay.
Yay.
That's, that's very helpful.
Thank you.
Um, and I would definitely, I would definitely recommend if you guys
haven't already read, um, expert secrets by Russell Brunson, I'm almost finished
with it, and so I definitely recommend it.
We are actually anyone who signed up for our tribe social or sending it to you.
Um, so, uh, because it basically goes through the, how to build a framework
and that some of the things that I was just sharing there, like how you can
create sort of one, um, anchor piece of here's like why we're doing this.
And then you can build off sort of all these different, um, applications
of it for different trainings.
Uh, it's basically a way to put your framework together and teach
frameworks, which is pretty interesting.
What's it, what's his first name?
Russell Brunson.
Russell.
Okay.
I think it's in our, we have a, I think we have a recommended
reading and can you message your TV?
I may be wrong.
Um, I don't think we do actually.
We will make it.
Nope.
Um, Bruce, what you're saying about the tick tock was really interesting
because in our lives challenge, like just our lives, um, in April, we noticed
like everybody that was coming on the lives, we didn't know any of them.
Like, like there were none of our followers.
I think it was, I was, that was my surprise.
Cause I'm like, um, I, I went in thinking they all know about our content.
So we had to quickly change our strategy to tell them what we were
because they're like, who are you guys?
And, and again, that's it.
Lives are tough like that.
Cause you got people who are just going to show up 10 minutes in 20 minutes
in 30 and they're the same thing.
They're not want to know who you are.
So, um, but yeah, that that's good.
That's awesome.
Do we get your question answered?
Holly good.
Yes.
Yeah, that's great.
Thank you.
Cool.
And drop any ideas in Facebook or whatever.
Cause I think, I think, uh, we can, everybody on this call probably
has a lot of good feedback.
Sometimes you can just put 10 sort of average ideas out there.
And then one of some people will say like, oh, I really liked number seven.
That was like really resonated.
And then all of a sudden like, cool, I'll go with number seven.
You don't have to like pick having to pick the title or pick the topic or the niche.
So, um, got it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I was going to say just a tip for, uh, Liam, Brenda, if you guys are doing
a live and you have that thing, you'll notice that, um, if you ever
seen an infomercial, you know, they kind of, they talk for a little bit
and then they like give you an opportunity to buy, like doing, you
know, call the number screen, do whatever.
I mean, this is really not how people are doing it now.
now that, you know, it would be,
and then they would talk, share things about it.
And then you would give it.
So you can do that kind of idea on a live webinar
where every three to five minutes, you're like,
hey, if you're just joining us today,
we're Lee and Brendan,
and we help people do this, this, and this.
So as we were saying, like kind of like on a radio show,
you know, they do that as well.
Like they just randomly in the middle of an interview
be like, so if you're just tuning in this,
and then you kind of like,
just we're here with such and such,
interviewing such and such, you know,
and just give that little like highlight reel.
And then they're like, oh, okay, cool.
I know now I know what they're doing
and that it makes sense.
So it's kind of a different format though.
Yeah.
That's good.
How many people are you seeing live when you do lives?
I'd be curious.
Around when we did lives last month,
it was around 8 p.m.
Like around eight or 9 p.m.
We got the most in I think 130 or something like that.
Yeah.
And then, you know, when we did it at different times,
you know, eight to 10.
Yeah.
But we noticed like, yeah,
it was mainly at night.
Like we looked at, I suppose,
some of the analytics from our previous popular videos
and they were always around somewhere between seven and nine
or 7 p.m. or 10 p.m.
So that's what we focused.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
That's great.
I mean, yeah.
Getting 100 people on a call to listen to you all live
is, that's a lot.
Like it'd be very hard.
If you try to go live on Facebook or YouTube,
like you wouldn't get anything like that.
You get one or two people maybe accidentally click on it.
So unless you have a really big channel.
So that's awesome.
Oh yeah, cool.
Laura was saying the book's free on Audible.
That's awesome.
Good to know.
It may also, yeah, cool.
Okay, so I see Reba has a question,
then Marcella and then Marianne,
we'll just go in the order that you're showing up here.
Hey guys.
Yes, I just now am looking at TikTok analytics.
And so if we can stay in a TikTok details vein,
that would be super.
Because I am posting a graduation themed thing
with my boy and his friends.
I left it like not private,
but I don't know, there was a setting on it.
And so I have a settings question.
I usually am not tech.
Like, hey, I have a tech question.
But today I have a tech question
because I just looked on there and I realized my last video,
hey, it only has seven views.
Why is that?
The video before had 390.
And it's because when I posted this celebrating grads,
it says friends only.
And now I don't know how to take that off
because the video after that is also friends only.
And I don't like this about TikTok
that it's not like YouTube where you can change tags
and things after you post.
Yeah, I know.
Well, I'm assuming that I lost both of these now
are in a friends only setting,
but do you know where that is?
Yeah, so I'm going to just,
so when you were posting,
let me see, I don't know if I can,
let me see if I can share this to you guys.
Thank you.
We'll give this a shot.
May or may not work, we will see.
But when you go to post, there's a dropdown
after you've put your video together
and then once you hit publish,
and that is going to show, okay, I think it worked.
Yeah. There we go.
So I just recorded like two seconds of me
staring at my phone.
So if you go to the, right here,
it says visible right there to everyone.
Yes, okay.
So if you click on that, you see down here.
Yes.
That's kind of what it is.
So just when you do it again next time,
just go back to everyone.
So what probably happened is it got switched
to friends somehow.
And then after that, it just defaulted back
to whatever you did last time, yeah.
Okay.
And a tip I use when I do a video that I want to edit
because you can't change it is I set it to privacy
and just only I can see it.
So that takes it off your screen.
Yeah.
Then you just have to repost it.
So you could make it private
and then just post it again if you want.
Oh, that's good.
Okay.
The right way, yeah.
It is a little annoying when you can't edit it.
On that one, I did post it twice already
because something else went wrong.
But unfortunately, I try not to timestamp anything
on TikTok, putting the date so that the material stays.
more relevant, but yesterday it was five to five and I was all about Galatians five to five. And
so I have this post that actually is date driven. So whatever. Thank you for the help.
Yeah. It doesn't matter quite as much with Tik TOK like it would on other platforms. Like I'll
sometimes get a lot of content that's pretty old, but if it's popular, it'll have a long lifespan.
Yes.
It's so much more organic than just a feed of stuff going in order. So good. Awesome.
Thank you.
I did see that on, when I was on the Tik TOK app, it did say that you can get better analytics when
you sign in on your web, on the computer. I am not seeing those, those analytics,
but if I can find them, I will show you guys. We can hopefully find those.
Oh, here it is. Let's see.
Now these look kind of like the same. I don't really see them being any different than,
anyway, we'll, we'll really want to find that views percentage, but yeah. So I don't know why
they said go to the website because they're the same, they're the same analytics on both. So.
Yeah, it was interesting. It only looked like it showed me one day's analytics,
but I did just turn it on. So it like did the 23rd. So don't know.
But I am like the other gal who mentioned that and more about wanting to document what God is doing.
And we are gearing up for Pentecost with great expectation. We had like literal signs in the
skies today with pillar of cloud leading us and hail and thunder and lightning. And it was fun.
So we've been doing a lot of prayer around our city and that's what I want to be doing reps
in sharing what he's showing us around our city. Awesome. That's great. Let us know how it goes.
Awesome. Okay. So we're going to Marcella.
Okay. Mine is, I think it's just a quick question and I'm, and I'm, I'm missing it in my training
notes. So I noticed my last two Tik TOKs, I do the, the caption, but it's covering my face.
What am I doing wrong?
Like the sticker, like the tagline or whatever.
Not the tagline, but when I turn on the captions and you, when I go back to watch it,
they're covering, like, they're like up here, like covering my face. And I'm like, how do I move
that? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. So there's on the, there's like a poster image.
Let me find, what is your Tik TOK? We actually don't have it in your.
Finding me with Dr. Marcella. I don't know why I went blank.
I don't know who's the head is, but you have the kingdom of darkness in my eyes.
Here we go.
With Dr. Marcella, see if I can find your account real quick. Yep.
Okay. Yeah. The last couple.
You're talking about like this?
No. So like, okay. So when I play it, the words,
cover my face, but it's not covering my face.
Cause there's, so rather than say there's like a poster, which is what you're seeing right now,
it's like just a little gif. And then when you click into it, there's the kind of the text that
could be above and below. Right. So when I click in there, at least when I saw it on my phone,
the, the text that I was seeing was like, oh, this is what I'm seeing.
At least when I saw it on my phone, the, the caption, I turned the captions on.
It may not be doing it here. Let me, I'm going to do it on my iPad.
When I look at it on my phone, it's covering my mouth and I'm like,
that looks crazy. What am I doing? Yeah. Let me.
That happened to me during the week in terms of the caption going up higher. I've noticed.
Yeah. By the way, I opened the TikTok app and Marcello was the first thing on. So I'm just
saying that's, that's twice now on the same call. I don't see it happening for me.
Let me see. I thought I saw that when I look back on it.
It's not covering you or your face. It's kind of below or it's above. It's not covering your
eyes or anything like that. So it may be on the iPhone. Even it could be cropping it even
differently. It's not, well, maybe it's just on my phone. I'm looking at it now and it's like,
my caption is like literally crossing mid portion of my face. So maybe it's just on the phone,
on the mobile. Yeah. Mine does it sometimes and other times.
Sometimes it doesn't okay okay so it's okay I don't need to do. Yeah, and I don't know why it does it sometimes and not others. Okay.
Then I'm okay that's all I need it.
Oh, keep doing it.
Yeah, I gotta get going.
Oh one going comment I would have is, so I'll just share the screen just while we're here to. Well, this is a comment not just for you but I did see it for a second when I pulled this up.
I've seen it on some other people's TikToks as well so I'll just mention it.
Just when you do record, when you get to that editing portion, trim it in the beginning, like right so that it starts with your first sound out of your mouth like the first word.
I've even seen people literally cut it halfway through the word.
So there's no like start pause one two and then it's, and then you start speaking. And you just want to be like right into it like there's no pause at all, because remember you've only got like three seconds to capture and you've got now got a
full second of dead space where nothing's happening.
I just thought on one video somewhere but anyway, the same thing on here when you do the poster image you see how it's, it's where that green let me see if I can refresh it here.
You see how it's the green pieces like cropped off.
I would just move that text down, either below your face or just maybe even over your forehead. That's just for the poster image.
So, but just make sure that it's it's visible because you can see here it's not you can't even see it.
Gotcha. Yeah, I see. Okay.
And it looks great on your phone but then in other places. It kind of it just gets cropped off, so you can always just just kind of the way you've got your face kind of the middle is great just kind of bring the text down in tight to the middle.
Okay, safe. Yeah.
Cool.
Thanks.
That looks good.
Cool.
I'm not sure if this average engagement rate is the follower thing, I'm not sure, but we'll see.
Cool. Okay.
Marianne, what did you get a question. I've got a few questions. Number one, having seen that on TikTok. I can now get 10 minutes does that mean I can go as long as I like, and it won't cut me off after a minute.
Exactly. Yeah, you can go longer.
Okay.
So I don't have to worry if I'm a few seconds over. Oh yeah, exactly. Okay. Experiment with it and just see, you know, different types of content if you've got enough followers and stuff, and then people already know you.
The more people know you, the more willing they'll be to give you more of their time. So, the thing is TikTok will allow me 10 minutes, right, but I wasn't sure I've been afraid to test it.
No, not really. No, no, no. You can do is go all the way up to 10 minutes.
Just, just test it out and see what I was meaning is like, just keep in mind okay this one was 10 minutes okay so maybe I got fewer views on this one.
Yeah, compared to others and, and. Okay.
My original question was my origin story on YouTube and Facebook, at the top somewhere, and I'm not sure how to do that and I think probably that we've had a video before on how to do this.
How to put a video on Facebook.
At the top of your on YouTube and Facebook, so that it's like, so I can fill in the about and put my original my origin story.
Yes, I'm not sure quite how to do that. So, so it's going to be different on each, but you'll go to your channel here.
So, we don't want have one for this let me actually switch over to another. I have here.
Your channel.
I think I may have taken it out out. Yeah, you can set up like a little about like kind of a welcome video there. So do I go to the about section and click on that. Yeah, well what you'll do is you'll go to this customized channel, this button up here.
Yeah, click on that, and then all this, everything to set that up is going to be in here so you can see, these are the kind of the videos that are going to be across the, the bottom on that first page.
So you can always highlight popular content.
Definitely want to make sure that at least your uploads are showing up there.
Let me switch back to posture as you can see, well I have, I have all these already.
I have all of that. But, but when people switch on YouTube, they want to know about me.
Can't you put that in a position where, where that comes up first?
The about on YouTube? I'm not sure how much you can move these, those tabs across.
Okay. Yeah, so here's the
channel trailer. This is what you're talking about. So if you hit add, I could pick a video here,
which I won't do right now. But let me just do one here. And then you can have some text next
to it to explain what it is. And that will be the first video that shows up. And that could,
that's a great place for your origin story. Okay, channel trailer. All right. Yeah. And
that'll be right front and center. It'll actually be when you, when they go to your page, it's
actually gonna be right here on the piece right there. So yeah. So now how do you do it on Facebook?
So Facebook, for your page, you can make a featured post.
Just get over here.
So good.
What you'll do is, is jump.
So you can actually, you could actually create a post. And I think you can pin a post to the top.
That's one thing you can do in the feed. So you've pinned to top of page,
right at the bottom there. So you can actually upload a video and then have it as the very
first thing they'll see on the far right here, which is typically, you know, the main
area. And then you can add like your about and other things to the side and kind of arrange.
So you'd see there's like an about section down here. Yeah. We talk about things like this,
and it shows your followers and all that. So you can edit that and put text in there.
But what about the origin story as a video? So you can put some, there's a video block as well.
We have not spent a lot of time laying out the page. I'm pretty sure that Monica
made an awesome training on this. She did. Yeah. Okay.
If you look for Facebook, she did one that's just on like how to set up your page correctly.
Yeah. How to choose a Facebook template. And then I think she had one
just to changing different buttons, how to create a about section. Here we go.
Oh, that's perfect.
I'll drop the link here for you.
Thank you. Yes.
And I'm noticing that like on Lindsay's page on Facebook, that her videos are live playing.
And when I put mine on there, I'm just getting the thumbnail.
Are you sharing the YouTube video?
Yeah. Don't do that.
Oh, really? Okay.
Yes. Don't do that. So I guess always, this is true of all of the platforms.
You always want to give each platform the original content, the footage, right?
So you want to actually upload the video into Facebook and that's what you're seeing there.
And so what's happening is exactly what Facebook wants is that you're like,
hey, I want mine to look like Lindsay's. Well,
they make them look like that when you upload the content.
In years ago, the Facebook, you could actually watch a YouTube video on Facebook and it would
just play perfectly. Now it's just a thumbnail and you have to click on it and it takes you out
of Facebook and goes to YouTube. And then just to add to it, they actually push in the algorithm
way down so that if you are uploading a YouTube video, they're going to make sure people don't
see that as much as if you had uploaded a video. If you share a YouTube link to go watch it off
their platform, because why would they want people, it's an off-road to get off of the platform.
Okay. That's a big mistake that I've been making.
If you're scrolling and you see a video playing even for a few seconds, it pulls you in.
It does. Yeah. You kind of see it for a second. Yeah. And it's easy because if you're on the
Facebook app, even the sound and everything just sort of starts to play automatically.
There's a video here.
That's a huge learning for me. I'm still in the beginning.
No, it's fine. Yeah. So if you go to the roadmap or you're in the members,
each either one of the same piece of content here. If you go down, I think
it's under long form content, but there's a whole little video on like how to actually,
I'd have to search for Facebook up here. I think it's like creator studio, which has now changed
his name.
I think it's the same videos in there twice, but I'll drop this.
This is like a little tool called Creator Studio that lets you upload videos, schedule
them.
It's all built into Facebook.
So that's in there.
That's a great screen.
Perfect.
Thank you.
I'm going to make my new thumbnail profile picture right there.
You can do the comments.
That's a great hack.
Suzy, you can say like, hey, just posted a new video and that would be just a post.
And then underneath that in the comments, you could link to the YouTube video.
That's a great, that's a great way to do it, too.
So hey, Monica, what's up?
Hi, Monica.
Give us the 30 second update, because I know we're kind of over time and I have a 4 o'clock
call.
So you can't answer any more questions for me, then.
If you have, we can go.
Yeah.
Go for it.
I have a YouTube channel.
I'm really not getting many more people.
And according to my IQ thing or whatever it is, I've got all the boxes filled in, but
I'm just not attracting subscribers.
I think I've attracted a few more, but not very many.
And are you posting all your short form content?
I haven't been posting it because nobody at all is watching it.
How, when you did, were you posting it daily when you were posting it?
I was posting it every time I had something on TikTok.
OK.
Exactly.
Three times a week.
Yeah.
But it's it's not the short form.
It's the other form.
You know, the most people I have watching a video is probably about less than 20.
Right.
Yeah.
It is a little bit slow in the beginning.
That's pretty normal.
Well, I've been doing it a year.
Yeah.
I think so.
What you could do.
So the videos you were uploading to YouTube were just the same video that you're putting
on TikTok?
No.
It's a different video.
It's the short form.
No, the YouTube video is longer.
It's seven minutes.
OK.
Have you have you gone from your TikTok to say, hey, for the full video at the end of
a TikTok, say for the full video, check out my YouTube channel or see my YouTube channel?
I haven't because I find that the people on TikTok, I can't give them the same content.
I find that they're geared around a certain thing.
And that's not what my YouTube channel is about.
Do you want to give a preference on which content you want to share?
The topic on my YouTube channel is really them getting to know God and who he is.
On TikTok, I find it's more about people believing lies and telling them the truth.
It's just different.
Yeah, I think as much as you can make the topics as similar as possible and again, whatever
is working, lean into that, right?
So just if it's working on TikTok, just try to see if there is like.
If you're sharing something in 60 seconds on TikTok, is there a way you could take three
minutes and share that or five minutes and share that?
And there's some things where I have done that.
So so you you are thinking then by by bringing people from TikTok onto my YouTube channel,
that will be what will bring my numbers up.
It's going to it's going to bring traffic.
Yeah.
Regardless.
Are you doing all the keyword stuff from vidIQ?
I'm not finding vidIQ very useful, to be honest.
I'm doing which is $10.
But but all it will do if I get a tag, it will tell me how I have to look up how many
numbers that works out at and so on.
Very slow.
But that's the only thing I'm finding it useful for.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
That is pretty much mainly what we use it for, too.
Yeah.
So I think, look, this is how we we've broken down is is 60 seconds like TikTok is like,
you know, it's like pouring gasoline on it, like everything just it's just it's so easy
to get hundreds of views.
And yeah, you go to other platforms and it's very difficult.
So it's kind of finding the balance between how much content I would only I wouldn't do
more than a weekly video on YouTube, but I would post at least weekly on YouTube.
Yeah, I do.
I've done.
Yeah.
It looks like that.
And yet last week it told me I wasn't posting.
It's like it told me I wasn't posting.
I wasn't being, it's almost like it was telling me I wasn't posting every week and yet I've
never won.
It probably is just some automated message when they like, they just want you to keep
posting.
Okay.
It is like getting to the first hundred subscribers is a great milestone on YouTube and so it
takes so long to get there.
It took us like three or four months of posting daily, daily five to seven minute videos on
Lindsay's account to get over a hundred.
And then in like within a six, five or six weeks, it was like 200.
It's just like, it's a tipping point and it does, it is like all uphill there, but it
does definitely grow faster after you pass that milestone.
I see all your tags.
This does look really good.
I mean, you've got engagement, some comments here.
On some of them I have, some I haven't, that's, that's actually one of my better ones.
Yeah.
So one thing I would do, this is a quick thing and then, um, is I would, so you have 12 seconds
just for the intro.
Um, yes.
And that's what I was wondering about.
That's the answer that was made for me.
So it's a good intro.
Just you always wanted to, you see how Lindsay does hers.
She said she has a sentence or two right at the beginning to say it's, it's called the
hook.
You just want to hook them right in with something on the beginning.
So it's just an editing difference.
Just probably the first sentence you say here, let's just listen to it.
Did you know you can change somebody's life by blessing them?
Perfect.
Did you know you could change somebody's life by blessing them?
Then run the intro and then come back.
I would, um, you could probably cut that intro to like five seconds or what you could do
is make that the outro and just use it at the very end just to have it as is, but just
at the end.
Um, but the intro at the end.
Yeah.
What do you do at the end?
Let's see.
You just kind of end.
Yeah.
You could do that.
And then just because this part is way more interesting than your intro.
As cool as this looks, um, people are going to stick around for the content.
So that's a quick thing I would do just to test that out.
Yeah.
I was wondering about that myself.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you, Bruce.
Okay, guys.
Um, um, hey, Monica.
What's up?
Hey.
How is everybody?
I miss seeing you.
It's good.
Good.
Um, I will just say one thing and that's why I hopped on because I literally just walked
in from the store.
My hundredth trip to the store, uh, having the ability to be online, you have no idea
how much easier it is than having a brick and mortar.
Oh my gosh.
Just the ease of being in your home and being able to create content and to be on your own
schedule and not having to run back and forth and, you know, deal with like, we can't make
a copy of our keys.
I've been like to 10 locksmiths and just like, you know, those details that take up your
time where we couldn't find a, the vinyl cutter that every single load was broken.
So we went to like five different ones, but you know, all of these little details and
I was just really thankful that we have the ability to have so much impact, uh, through
on our, your online presence.
So I just want my, my own experience to, to kind of encourage you guys, wow.
What you have and what you're able to do in a very small amount of time is just amazing.
So keep going, keep going, keep going.
And we're doing great.
We are kind of in that middle phase of decorating the store.
We got the prayer posts up, uh, last night and we're doing all of these great things.
So, uh, God is moving.
We already have a church that has 10,000 members that's nearby that are all in to come to our
open day.
So it's going to be kind of busy at the mall, I think, so I'm very excited about that.
Yeah.
So nice to see you guys.
I just want to say, Monica, you're an amazing animator.
I love your geeking out video on that little first.
Oh, I know I just, I will, I'm so excited about how God is moving everybody in their
own specific way.
It's so fascinating to me how he'll put just every piece into place.
You are exactly where you need to be right now.
That's like I am, I'm over here complaining a little bit, but I am exactly where I need
to be.
You are.
So kind of like.
Push into it, push into those things that seem difficult.
There's a reason why that's happening, right?
Your voice, someone doesn't want your voice to be heard.
So push into it harder, like, oh, I'm not getting views.
Okay, I'm gonna hit it even harder.
I'm not gonna give up because there are people on YouTube
that need to hear, for example, your voice area.
There are people there that will hear it
or that one person that will stumble upon it
and they will say yes to Jesus
and they will have their salvation
and it was because you post it, right?
So keep that up.
I would also just interject there on your thumbnail,
Larian, I would make your face a lot bigger.
Okay, yes.
If you have your wording in question form
around the blessings, the blessings of God,
well, are you receiving the blessings of God
or something like that that might make them want to click in
and if on TikTok, if you have your link
to your YouTube channel on there,
since you have so much traffic going there,
I just wanted to add that in,
but I am feeling so excited and highly expectant
of what God is doing in each and every one of you
because you have fantastic leadership here
with Bruce, Lindsay, and Tamara
and everything that's going on,
just, I mean, you really should be rejoicing right now.
It's such an exciting time
and to have this amazing support on your side.
I know a lot of people are just kind of flailing
and trying to do whatever they can with whatever they know
and you guys literally have like a lifeline right here
in terms of how to build what God has placed in your heart.
So keep going, keep going, keep going.
Awesome, thanks, Monica, appreciate it.
Well, that is a good place to end.
If you guys have any questions that we didn't get to,
just connect with us on Facebook, tag me,
we'll get back, or Lindsay, but we appreciate you guys.
Thanks again for your prayers
and we'll be back again on Tuesday as always.
So we'll see you guys have a great weekend, cheers.
