So, okay, let's start with, we always want to start with testimonies and wins and I would love to hear like to channel wins from this past week I know that we were all pressing in together challenging ourselves, maybe like never before with our content
and our channels. One big win that I want to share on behalf of all y'all is you might not have seen it yet but we have reached over 300,000 people as a group.
So that's a huge milestone so that means that every week together we are now reaching over 300,000 people, I think that's pretty amazing and outstanding so well done everyone and thank you Lord for that.
We just say more audaciously for more, more reach more impact more influence for us as kingdom messengers so raise your hand in the.
Oh, there it is. I was just going to show.
It's just funny that last year, we were like super excited because we're at 37,000 in February 21 is when we started. Yeah, it was like basically just a little bit of posture and then like a handful of people that joined, and then it's scaled up to 8310
and now that was in September last year and now it's like coming up on a year. Yeah, so we tripled in less than 12 months which is crazy. So exciting. Very cool.
Okay, so Susie I see that you're unmuted does that mean that you have a channel in.
Yeah, oh I thought I put up a hand. Yes. Um, two days ago I had a long day afternoon said okay Lord I promised at least every other day I'll do this thing.
Did it.
And my I've had to tick tocks that were 1000 views.
This one was 2750.
And I got one comment that was kind of a semi I don't think so, which was really good because it made me think about my wording and my approach, and so it was like you said Lindsay, okay I'm going to use that as information to address that question
so it was really beneficial besides, I cannot believe it.
That is so exciting. Awesome Susie okay Gloria.
I see your hand.
Make sure you're unmuted.
Hi there. Good morning to everyone and good evening.
Five o'clock my time. Anyways, I'm excited to one of my tech talks is right now at 16,000 views within a few days, within a few days it was at like 10,000 within two days.
I like three days. And it's just, I see that people are really responding to prayer so I'm all about praying for people for healing casting out demons and things like that witchcraft and generational curses and speaking life into people.
And those are like the, my, my, my most popular videos, and out of this whole thing you know that's always been my heart but the Lord gave me a devotional, like, he just gave me this idea of doing a devotional, like a short devotional like just stop dropping
So, I started to do a devotional as well. So I'm doing a lot more than one video a day I actually like pumping them out because that's just what the Lord is giving me.
But yesterday I didn't do anything because I was working all day and I didn't get a chance but been doing a lot of videos.
Yeah, I have. I started with like probably zero in my tech talk, when we first started because I wasn't a believer in tech talk, as it was just too, too, too much you know too much for me every time I got in there I got attacked from all these videos of people, but posting
their ungodly stuff. And, but now it's like now you know now I have, I have, I don't know how many likes I have like 4300 likes I have.
I can't even think right now how many people have already have already subscribed, like, are following me. I can't see how many people like quite a bit.
I don't know I can't even, I'd have to go in there.
More than what was following you before you started tech talk.
Yeah, definitely. And then, yeah, and then, yeah, a lot.
I actually have quite a bit of videos that have passed the 1000, one of them is like 6000 the other one is like, yeah, 16,000.
It's just like really incredible what God is doing with this. Yeah.
I am.
Yeah, and so there's a lot and then even on my YouTube channel.
I had a.
Sorry, I'm doing a prayer meeting on this, on the side here.
You get 200.
I went to 10.
We just pulled it up.
You're at two 13 subscribers on YouTube.
That's when I started with you guys.
I had about five subscribers.
That's amazing.
Cause YouTube is the longer one to takes to grow.
So that's a testimony for all of us with just the power of short form.
Video even on Tik TOK, which is traditionally long format.
Like even Tik TOK is utilizing that short form.
And it's, it's, um, from an organic reach standpoint and from an
acceleration of growing your subscribers, it's a great way to do that.
So that's awesome.
Lori, thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
Hey, Amy.
Okay.
I don't know if you all remember me like saying it was a win when I crossed
200, um, a few weeks ago on, on YouTube or yesterday I crossed 300.
And it has to be the short form has to be, uh, and, uh, and crossed
another milestone in, in Tik TOK.
So, you know, just, and what is that?
What is that milestone?
We like thousand followers or a thousand more followers.
No, 5,000, 5,000.
That's what I was going to say.
I heard a thousand, 5,000 Mark.
Yeah, that's awesome.
You know, just happened this in the, in the last week.
So excited.
How long have you been on Tik TOK for?
Since the first Tik TOK challenge at the end of January.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's when most people created.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Yeah.
And I was like, like Gloria on like, no, but that was my story.
I was like, I'm not doing Tik TOK.
Now I'm getting everyone on Tik TOK.
Denise.
I saw that you were unmuted.
Did you have something to share?
Oh, that's okay.
I have a little big tree.
Cause I wasn't doing Tik TOK for a long time and I just started it and I
just got two things posted, but, or one, but I haven't gotten any followers yet.
But what's interesting is I posted my first Tik TOK on YouTube
and I just got 71 views.
So that was interesting, but nothing on Tik TOK.
So I'm not sure what that's about, but we'll look at it.
We can, but it was victorious just to get it out there for me.
And I really appreciate your prayer.
I wasn't able to make it, but I listened to it and God I'm doing my Tik TOK
challenge on a series of ones on joy.
And so it was very cool to hear everyone's prayers and everyone's
prophecy and the joy, it was just beautiful.
Oh, I love that.
That's such a good, that's, that's confirming.
Hey, Hillary, I see your hand.
Hey, so, okay.
I'm on a different kind of a different track.
You guys are inspiring me on the numbers.
Cause I usually haven't looked at that, but I did host the gala that I told you
guys, God told me to do, I went onto Amazon and I got, I got two tiaras.
And don't you know, these precious women, I told them, get, get a gown on, get
your chair on your meeting with the King.
And we were two days together and, and a number of mad tiaras or flowers in
their hair and they dressed up and it was glorious breakthrough.
So that's amazing.
Cause so for people who don't have context, just, you know, like
Hillary, you were really reawakening a dormant online
community that you had been leading.
And so do you feel like there was a reawakening?
Yeah.
So in the group that I still haven't gone, um, I haven't, I, I, you know, I'm
asking the Lord, okay, where do I, where am I going to go live?
Cause it used to be freedom Fridays, but my Fridays are so full.
So anyway, there are a hundred new members in there and there's, uh, on
the page, the business page, um, I'll have to find out how to, oh, that's
got, um, over 2000 likes.
So, um, getting there.
Yes.
It's alive again.
It's alive.
I love it.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Cool.
Okay.
Well, I think we can, you want to jump into it?
Yeah, we'll jump into it.
And so, well, let's just pray.
I would just say thank you father for these victories.
Thank you for the awakening and the reawakening.
Thank you for confirming your word through this community of the gifts that
you have for us to receive the pieces of our identities that we're becoming more
aware of, and we're awakening.
others too, as we share our content, share our messages, and take on more territory in the
digital landscape. We pray for today. Holy Spirit, I just, I ask for wisdom. I pray that you give it
to us liberally. I thank you for your innovation, your creativity. I pray that there would be just
a, this, this call would just be a breath of fresh air to each person that's on here, that it would
be a refreshing breath, and that we can move forward from this call with great momentum on
all that you have in store for us. In Jesus name, amen. All right. Okay, so I, it was a press
last week, right? So the challenge was post daily. So I want to hear a little bit from somebody who
has done that. So were any of you guys, you know, the idea was prepare next, prepare last week to
start being able to post daily. I know Gloria has been posting, she already shared. Is there anyone
else who has started posting daily? I see Amy's hand. Okay, Amy, can you, let's do it as well.
Yeah, yeah. So I, so Amy, can you just unmute? You're the first hand that I saw.
Let's, let's talk about it. How did it go? How is it going? Well, let's see. So I
really pretty much just started yesterday. Yeah. But. Did you batch anything? Were you
batching last week? Yes. Yes. Okay. So this is something really cool and I'll just share it as a,
like what my process is. Like over the course of last week, I just in my time with the Lord in the
morning, I would just, you know, just, he would just, you know, speak to me, you know, from the
word and I would, I would just write in my journal to my short form audience, to my who. And maybe he
would have spoken it to me, but then I would, you know, write it and I just put a little notation
because I do this better than I do this. So, and so I made a little notation that would tell me
where to go back to. And I had done like seven one time. And so I started with number eight
and over the course of time, I wrote 11 episodes. And so yesterday I, you know, yeah, yesterday
I recorded those Sunday or yesterday I batched 11. And so now I'm back into the,
the writing again. And, and I am very, very blessed to be able to be up where I am right now.
And my husband is coming back and forth. So I am alone. I mean, like daily life where I live,
but probably wouldn't allow that. So, you know, it's a gift, but it was so,
it's a, what I did is I type them onto, cause I use my teleprompter, just the teleprompter app
on my, on my iPad. And so I just type them. I don't go into docs or anything. I go straight
in and I just type my episode. And then I had them all typed in on Friday. And then I guess
it was a couple of days later, I record, I recorded all the lemon and I did change shirts.
Which is totally fine. Which is totally fine. It's, it allows for visual interest. So it's
not a bad thing. It's just not required. I wanted people to be a little bit free and then you're
like, Oh my gosh, I have to change shirts. And so like that, but if you can do it, it's great
visual interest. So Amy, from a, from a process standpoint, was it easier than you thought it
would be? Was it harder? Okay. Yes. To me, it's so much easier than putting together a long form,
you know, a five or seven minute podcast, which I am still trying to do, but I had already had
an episode ready to go. And it came from like a script that I had done on docs. And I saw the
opportunity that I could easily divide that into two episodes. So, you know, probably record this
afternoon and put it out tomorrow. So I don't know what that's going to look like going forward for
me. I'm not just going to, I'm going to do what I'm doing in rest. And so it was really the hardest
part was typing 11 episodes, you know, transcribing it from my journal under the
teleprompter. You're doing word for word work. Yes. On my short form. Cause I just got, I,
I go too long. You don't have to apologize. I'm just getting it.
The thing about it is, is it actually is quicker for me to have a script,
especially because of the teleprompter. And, and then like recording is easy. Cause I get to do
those. Like maybe the, the lot I did three takes on one, but I didn't even.
go all the way through the whole, you know, I knew what I had done that I
needed, so I deleted that and, and would refilm and some of them I just did in one.
Awesome.
Yeah.
That's good.
Great process.
I wanted to hear, cause Amy, I know you're like you're a veteran in this
and you've been doing kind of both forms of content, so just for people to be
able to hear your process and this is what it, you know, it looks like.
And I'm going to share my process too.
Cause I I'm, I changed it up a bit for the short form as well, but I see Bridget's
tan and you don't see, I think she's on her phone.
They asked them.
You can hear me.
I had, um, I did do two tech talks on Monday and Tuesday and I spent forever
trying to get them together.
Bruce actually helped me.
I have an idea if anyone looked at them because I don't know where to look.
Okay.
After you left on Sunday, I realized I didn't know how to monitor it.
And we will be talking about analytics too.
And I'm sure, um, cause it is good for us to be looking at, you know,
views and things like that.
Okay.
So, um, I am working today.
That's why I'm at LA.
I'm just taking my lunch break, but I'm planning to do like a whole batch
together and draw it, put them in my draft so that I can just send it out.
But, um, it was a little easier than I thought it was.
I think I've just got to get over myself, um, and get into it.
So I'm looking forward to getting a batch done at a time.
And I realized, although I don't like tick tock that my who is on tick
tock, so I have to get there.
And so it's where I can serve them.
That's good.
Well, it only gets easier from here.
I will say that.
And I liked, I'm, I'm grateful to hear from both you and Amy that it was
easier than you thought it was going to be.
Hey, Xavier.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Well, um, I think I posted in the chat that I actually starting last, starting
last Monday, I've posted every single day.
Um, including today, sometimes it got to be a little bit into the evening,
but I swore I was going to do it.
I still got it out there, you know, and, and got it done.
And, um, yes, as, as far as practice, uh, not practice, as far as process
goes, you know, I I've kind of learned when, when I joined the family last
year, I mean, you know, 12 minutes was short form for me, I, I just very
verbose and, and a lot of, a lot of kingdom communicators because we're
used to doing teachings and sermons.
Yeah, yeah.
So, because, so what, what I had to do and what's become easier, and that's
why I also resisted tick-tock big time until, you know, you said, come out and
do it, and so I was convicted to, to do that.
And, um, and so it has really changed everything.
One of the reasons why it used to take me so long is because, you know, as a
messenger, we are trying to lay out brick by brick so that people understand
what we're doing and what we're talking about and going through, but that
can take way too much time.
And, um, really what, what I do now is I still script my messages.
Um, but I can easily script a three minute message.
Okay.
And then I chop that up and using Descript, I think Bruce is going
to deal with that later this week.
It makes it really easy to cut out, you know, cut it into pieces.
Okay.
So I just stick with my three minute message, which was, you know, going from
12 minutes down to three minutes was part of my learning curve.
Um, but now that, you know, that I can do that, it's, it's much, much easier.
So I can do a three minute message and get two or three sub one minute, you
know, uh, parts in that, and just put that out there.
And what I found is, you know, each of those bricks that we try to build on
people will find them themselves.
Okay.
And they will put it together and you just trust the Holy spirit to, to, to let him
lead.
I'm getting incredible feedback.
I'm, I'm really shocked at the feedback that I'm getting, you know, off of
Tik TOK.
But, um, so it's been a huge, huge win and it's something that I'm going to be
increasing and kind of like Gloria, the Lord's been poking me.
So I'm, I think I'm going to be getting up to two or three videos a day in
different areas.
One is just the message.
The other is, you know, an imparted blessing, a prayer for people, or just,
you know, things along those, along those lines.
So I am excited.
I don't know, God is just blessing my time because I don't know where I'm
finding the time to do it, but it's getting done.
I would like to change my shirt more often, but I just, you know, I, I can't
once I get it there, it's like, okay, get the shot, get it done.
I don't have time to change.
We'll just get them out there, but people are responding.
So it's still working.
That's awesome.
And you, you shared a really key nugget there, which I thought was really good,
which is, um, being.
able to do multiple things in a day,
because it doesn't just have to be a straight message.
You can also add a prayer.
You can add a scripture reading.
So for those of you that are thinking through,
you know, okay, I wanna do something.
I wanna expand what I'm already doing
because I'm already sitting here
in front of the camera, for instance.
I've already got everything going.
You can shoot like your message
and then you can also shoot an additional video,
which is you reading maybe the scripture or passage
that was in your message.
Like just, hey, let's read this word.
And then you can do another thing
that's praying into the promise or the key from the message.
So that's three pieces of content.
So I want you guys to be thinking,
I like how Xavier's already thinking that
there's ways that you can even expound
on that 60 second something that could be a multiple.
So you could post it once a day
or you can just post three in a day.
And of course, you know, the stakes are always like,
as we've been talking about consistency,
not that you guys have to like be scared of this.
If you're like, I can only do one a day or whatever
is that obviously the algorithms
will increase your visibility
if you're doing multiple posts a day.
Cause you're showing them
that you're not just a consistent creator,
but you are from a quantity perspective,
you're feeding the machine, so to speak,
even more than that.
So just something to think about,
like if you've already got it,
if you're already sitting there and you're like,
hey, I can piece this out even more
after my kind of anchor 60 second something,
it's, that's really good.
Very good share there, Xavier.
Okay, Liam Brendan, hey.
Hey guys, sorry, I've just kind of woken up.
You might tell my sleepy face.
I'm just glad you're here.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
But I'm alive.
But just Saturday we batched content,
we batched seven episodes
and we found the process really good.
What would you say?
Like that whiteboard that you did,
you did that and that was really helpful.
And you might not have been able to see that actually,
but we did insert clear leavers
and then wrote all the different aspects about that.
And then we did, we picked a line
and then we did each four different long forms
like let the Holy Spirit speak to us about each bit.
And then we dressed up and went into our bedroom
because it was 11 o'clock at night
and then put all the lighting there
and then just went for it.
And then we thought we were starting this week actually,
sorry, in terms of starting to go live each day.
So yeah, it went good.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
And then the flow, once we did one,
then we're like, yeah, we can do another one.
And so we felt we've got into a flow
because we already put the ideas down then.
That was easier.
Yeah.
And last night was Mojo putting all the words in there
and fixing that up and talking to Brendan about TikTok.
And he did his first TikTok batch.
So that was good.
That's awesome.
I love that momentum
because I'm hoping everyone catches that.
Like, because there's this press into,
okay, we're going to do daily,
our process has to change.
And if you were, oh, I'm just going to,
I'm just going to post once a week
or I'm just going to post a few times a week.
When you kind of press into that goal of daily content,
you find that you change your process.
So things like batching almost become necessary,
not just a nice to have, but okay,
in order to do that, I'm going to have to batch.
And then we find in the batching
that there's some creativity and flow momentum
that happens as well.
Like what Xavier shared and what Lee and Brendan,
you even shared as far as like, hey, we're already here.
So we're already sitting here recording this stuff.
Let's just keep going.
Let's just keep flowing.
I found that I overcomplicated it,
interestingly enough, in my own process
because I had my mind map
and as I shared with you guys,
I really wanted to focus on the idea of peace
being presence and peace being present.
And so I was going to just do seven on those.
But as I sat down, I start, and again,
there's always, I want to say this,
I know I don't have to explain myself,
but I know we've got new people as well.
And I never want people to think that I'm bypassing
the Holy Spirit in this process of creating content.
The idea is I'm not sitting to conjure up content.
I'm sitting to capture the conversation
that I'm having with the Holy Spirit.
And so part of that will require sometimes flexibility.
And so the flexibility for me came
when I sat down to start recording,
I did not have a script.
So I think that kept it a little bit open-ended, maybe too open-ended, but I was really taken by
some recent comments that I had gotten where people were asking for prayer from a place of
real desperation. And not that there's anything wrong with that, but just wanting like my mother
heart to be able to equip them to say, okay, I can definitely pray for you, but I want you to
be equipped to pray something as well. Never feel stuck and never feel like you have to wait
for somebody else to pray. And so that's kind of where some of my content came from as well.
I did still do content on peace, but I focused on prayer as well. And we'll continue to focus
on that, I think for, cause I got really great response. So I just want to show,
cause I was finding that as someone who had done scripts in the past, and I know a lot of you guys
who are with us with long format, we're doing some format of scripts. If it wasn't word for word,
it was an outline. So I wanted to show you like what my new process had to look like as far as
building out a script when there was no script for these 60 seconds. And so let me share, let me,
yeah, I'm going to share my screen. I'm not going to try to attempt to write
like I did last time, cause that kind of fell apart, but I'm just going to type.
So you guys should just see like a blank. Can you see that? Okay. Okay. So as we know,
we've talked about the anatomy of a 60 second or, you know, 15 second, even short form piece
of content is we've said it has the hook. It has the process and it has the payoff.
And the reason we've used that term payoff is because I think it's a good term for us to
consider because we don't, what is, there's nothing more frustrating than somebody saying,
this is what this video is going to be about. And then they don't deliver on what they've promised
the video is going to be about. Does that make sense? That's why we say payoff because you're,
you're paying off on what the hook is. Like if you start the video and say it with an idea or
a question, say you start with a question, you, the payoff is the answer to that question. You
want to make sure that you answer that question in the short form piece of content. Otherwise
you're just going to frustrate your viewers, or it's going to feel like a tease and it's going to
feel spammy to people. And so that's why we call it a payoff. So my hook for, if you guys saw the
one that I posted in the Facebook group yesterday was, this is what I pray when I don't know what
to pray. So that was the hook. And then the payoff is going to be the prayer. We know that, right?
Because I better tell them the prayer that I pray. Right. But I obviously didn't want to just jump
into that because I wanted to explain a little bit of the thought process behind why this is
what I pray. So it wasn't just a, Hey, here's the prayer. I felt like I needed to explain it a little
bit. Um, and so before I get to that piece, I found that as I was about to record that to end
on the prayer still felt incomplete. So even though I was paying off on the hook, I'm just
sharing with you guys my process. And so don't feel like every single video you do is going to
follow this formula, but I realize there's, there's some flexibility within this three steps.
That's why I'm sharing. So I realized I didn't want to just end with the prayer. I wanted to have
one last landing, almost like a send off to finish the video. And so before I started recording,
I wanted to figure out what am I, what line am I going to land with? Because when I, I realized
when I tried to record it without knowing that it just sort of tapered off. Does that make, does
that you guys maybe experienced that with your own videos? Like you have all the great content
in the beginning. Cause you really focused on your hook and you're sharing the word or sharing
the promise. And then it just like, I don't know how to end this. So it's like, and so just okay,
be encouraged by like, that's how it felt to me. I was coming across. So I was like, I need
to figure out where I'm going to actually land this. And so where I ended up landing, I'll say,
this is the send off. I'll just call it. I'll call it the send off. Um, is I, I wanted them to know
that this truth is knowing this truth set me free because the prayer that I was praying was
based on knowing who God is. And so I just said, um, knowing this truth set me free.
So that was the line I wanted. So I had that. So as I was recording, like recording,
I knew what my hook was and I kind of discovered my hook by testing a few things out. It's like,
I know what I basically, I know I want to equip people to like pray something, be able to pray
when they feel like they don't have the words or whatever. So it ended, I had this line. This is
what I pray when I don't know what to pray. Um, and I just recorded it a few times to kind of get
like, to see how it was coming across, which is where if you watch the, um, if you've watched the
episode that I did, the video that I did, I kind of like bring the camera in
and like
make it kind of playful, I practiced that.
That came from me just practicing a few times,
nothing that took hours, but just practicing a few times
of, okay, what does this look like when I'm saying,
because the opening is so important, right?
The process itself, and I know I shared a lot,
I share a lot, 60 seconds, but really the exchange here,
like the big idea was instead of focusing
on the details of my circumstance,
I focus on the character of God.
That was the big process.
So I obviously say more than that,
cause I had 60 seconds, but here's what I want you to see.
By doing this, even in hindsight of going back and saying,
okay, here's the hook, here's the process,
here's the payoff.
The payoff and the send off can definitely be the same,
just for this particular video, it didn't feel right to me.
It felt like it just ended and it was kind of weird.
So that's why I added something.
This can be a 15 second clip in itself.
Do you see that?
Cause I literally can say, this is what I pray
when I don't know what to pray.
Instead of focusing on the details of my circumstance,
I focus on the character of God.
I share the prayer, Lord, make what is real about you
realized, and knowing that truth sets me free.
That's 15 seconds.
So I just want to show you some of the versatility
of some of you have started doing your 60 seconds.
This can be a second post, like Xavier was talking about,
that I can post the 60 minute and I, or 60 minute,
I can post the 60 second and a 15 second version
of that 60 second on the same day.
By just knowing what the anatomy of that 60 second is,
like the kind of the breakdown.
And so that's two posts for one day.
So again, that's a way to leverage the algorithm
when you think, oh my gosh, how am I going to find time
to post two things a day?
Now I didn't do it because I didn't do this exercise
until a couple of days later.
I can still go back and film a 15 second,
but this is what, these are some things I'm figuring out
as I, as I'm doing this.
Okay, how can I maximize what this one piece of content
to maybe I can post multiple times a day
around that piece of content.
And this is, it doesn't mean everyone is going to see
every single reel that I do,
but if you do go back to the profile
or people see you pop into their profile a couple of times
in that same day, you're, you're speaking to them,
you're reiterating the truth,
the same truth over and over again.
So it's kind of cool.
It feels cohesive.
And from a con, from your content creation standpoint,
you have multiple pieces that you can start posting
in one day.
So that, that was helpful for me to begin to like, look,
there wasn't a script per se,
but there was this kind of loose outline
that I was able to,
it was able to shorten the amount of time
that I had to record.
Cause I wasn't just like, okay,
I'm going to hit record and just start talking
at least where I was landing.
And I put some building blocks of like, okay,
I know what I'm saying in the beginning.
I'm going to speak to this process.
I did not have that word for word.
I just knew that the big idea was,
instead of focusing on my circumstances,
I focus on God's character.
Here's the prayer.
And then here's the line that I'm ending with.
And so that allowed me to really not take two hours
to do a 60 second thing.
And what else do I want to say about this?
Oh, what was helpful for me as well,
because I wasn't scripting it,
was I recorded it once all the way through and watched it.
And I realized it was over 60 seconds.
So I just, I had to record it a few times
to get it under 60 seconds.
I know that I speak fast and that is something
that I want to fix in future videos.
But that process was also pretty quick too,
because I just, it was 60 seconds.
So I recorded it and I was like, okay, that's,
maybe it was a minute 15 or whatever.
So I just had to edit some things out until I got it.
But I wanted to, I just went ahead and recorded it
instead of saying, okay, I'm going to practice this
and then record.
Because when you get the take, you want it recorded.
So that's just a practical,
it might be obvious to some people,
but you might think, okay,
I'm just going to practice this off camera real quick,
blah, blah, blah.
But if you're recording, then you've got it.
If you've hit that 60, if you're under 60 seconds.
So it's just a way to maximize.
Just say also people are very different
when once you hit that record button.
It's true.
Once you, once you, Bruce was saying,
once you hit the record button,
your demeanor changes in a good way.
Like you're on, right?
So it's like, it's just a, it's a better,
in my opinion, it's a better way
than just practicing it off script a few times
because you come across differently anyway,
when it's like actually real time recording.
So Hillary, let's see, Paul, I got some questions.
Would you recommend posting both of those
two different videos on all the platforms?
I would tick tock reels and shorts apps are kind of they work the same like they're working
the same as far as how that how they're maximized an algorithm so yes go ahead and and do that
and for you Paul because I know some of the stuff you're doing for anyone who's doing like
tutorial based stuff anytime that you can call out like a how-to in less than 60 seconds or
how to in less than 30 seconds like make that a part of your title because that is a hook in
itself like oh I can learn how to do this in less than 60 seconds is like a big draw for people so
play with that as well in some of your titles if you're doing like a how-to
um can I can I just ask a quick yeah absolutely thank you thank you so much for this would you
do it verbally would you do it just in the title I would do it in this I would do it in the title
you can do both but if you have a different hook like verbally use it but as far as like any type
of how-to I feel like a how-to something is a very powerful visual title if that makes like
I'm if you're reading it like um how to pray even like if you guys are doing like how to pray
something I don't know any musician terms that's why I'm trying not to like be like oh yeah it's
like how to do this chord change in less than 60 seconds but anything that you're doing tutorial
based or how to less than 60 seconds is I think a draw for people because like oh wow like I'm
it's not a it's not a 13 minute something right it's like it just draws it in and then for you
if you have long format content that ties to that tutorial so say you're using the short form
as almost like an advertisement for a longer piece of content you can link that to your short form
especially in in YouTube TikTok you'd have to like say follow me on YouTube or something and
this can be in the description but if you've already got like a longer tutorial that like
spells it out more you can link that to you like your YouTube short does that make sense this is
really really good would you would you for this you said put it on the title would you make that
title in the video like printed on the screen or would you do it in the description title like
typed out yeah I would do it in the yeah I would do it typed out because for YouTube specifically
it's still search based
shorts are a little bit different they're testing it really but it has that if it has it in the
written out title you know I'm saying like your title title of the video YouTube will tag that
and I and help serve it to people that are searching for music musician tutorials and
music tutorials and things like that that makes sense thank you so much this is brilliant thank
you okay I saw another I think it was Hillary asked oh how do you find the 60-second recording
I just put it in our group Hillary I just put it in our intensive group yesterday
and that you can watch it or you can follow me on on TikTok
okay so that was some that was a key learning for me do you have something to share oh stop my
share oh you stopped it okay thank you I've got let's see a lot going on here and did anyone else
have questions on that particular piece or about that process it looks like Gloria was raising her
hand hey Gloria go ahead I it wasn't just a question but it was something that I actually
learned as well in the process because it it I I just got a revelation because sometimes I just
want to tell people like you know like teach or whatever I just got a revelation like a bigger
revelation that these little bits of things that I'm doing it's just um it's powerful um it's just
like though if if you speak the word of God it doesn't matter how short it is it's the word of
God and it's like and it's going to go forth and it's it's it has the power to set the people free
and that's what you know God reminded me of that it doesn't matter you know you can you can share
a 20-minute video and it didn't do anything for someone but you can share one powerful spoken word
of God and it just sets people free and uh and I'm actually waking up with the with the meditations
that I'm actually sharing with people I'm actually even getting more revelation because I've been
sharing on the seed and the word of God and the soils and the good soil and the seed and God is
giving me even more revelation it's like breaking it down even more and so even 60 seconds I'm
starting to realize it's even it's even long I actually did like a 10-second YouTube video where
I just got dropped in my spirit to break off limitations
to prayer, like the people, like any hindrances.
And I just did a quick, I don't know,
I think it was a 10 second,
and I just got a thousand views overnight of that.
And it doesn't matter, you know, to me,
I'm just learning that it's just even a very small,
if it's the word of God,
if it's a powerful rainbow word of God,
it just goes forth and says it does,
it accomplishes what God has sent it forth to do.
So I'm just getting that revelation even more.
Oh yeah, you discover it, right?
Cause yeah, absolutely.
Like I, that was a big thing for me with TikTok
was I thought I can't transform anybody in 60 seconds,
but the reality is,
and this is what I want us to continue to get,
it's the word of God in our mouths is transforming things,
but it's the presence of Jesus in us.
It's us showing up in people's screens.
I much rather a kingdom person show up in people's screens
than people who are discipling people to worldly agendas
and things that are deceptive
and destructive and distracting.
So I love that revelation.
And I want all of us to keep that at the forefront
that because we're choosing to show up,
I mean, it's an act of faith for us to say,
I believe the message that I'm sharing
and I know that it's going to be transformative
because if I don't believe that,
then why am I even doing this, right?
So yeah, and all of that stuff will be tested.
You know, I'm reminded as, you know,
when the negative comments come in even,
because I'm monitoring comments
probably more than ever before,
because I took a little bit of a sabbatical
even just from posting.
Why you guys knew this?
Because I was focusing on Kingdom Messenger stuff.
So I'm kind of back in the comments feeds and stuff.
And so you're reminded of, you know,
this word will be tested.
Sometimes it's just by a negative person,
but it reestablishes in me the truth of what I'm speaking.
No, I really believe this.
I believe it enough to put myself out there
to publicly display it.
And I trust the Lord enough to mature me in this word
that I'm sharing, to further the revelation,
to father me into being a Kingdom Messenger
that mimics it, that reflects and mirrors his heart.
So that is pretty cool.
Okay, so the other thing that I did
was I completely ditched the studio,
completely ditched the studio.
And I was pleasantly surprised
with the beautiful filtering known as the sun,
because it's been a while since I've used natural lighting.
I had friends texting me, guys, this is complete,
this is just total like realm one stuff.
But I had people text me and say,
your makeup looks amazing.
And I'm like, I promise you,
it did not look that amazing in real life.
It is the sun.
So I just want to encourage you guys,
do not underestimate the power
of just standing in front of a window.
I was in the studio.
I wasn't doing it from the studio,
but I was just in this room.
And then Bruce, because it was the room
that was quietest in our house.
And then Bruce and Hannah went out and did Aaron's.
So I said, you know what?
I'm just going to go into the living room and record.
And I'm so glad I did because it just felt fresh.
It felt, and to me, it felt engaging.
Like, hey, you're just, you're here with me in my home.
And I had the natural lighting.
So, and I was on my phone.
So no special gear or anything like that.
No mics.
No mics, no.
I was just on my iPhone.
And so, and I mean, literally I had friends
that texted me and they were like, what mic did you use?
What camera were you using?
And I'm like, it was my, guys, it was my phone.
So people that know better, people that should know that.
So anyway, I did see one question, Sheree,
you were asking about, you were having some issues.
So I want to also talk about,
are there areas that we're getting stuck?
Because I want to be able to coach into that
and speak into that.
So Sheree, are you able to unmute yourself?
Yes.
Hi, everybody.
Hey.
Yeah.
So I just got so frustrated because, you know,
I do the little sign, I do the captioning, you know,
it takes so much time.
For me, it's not the content or the video.
It's the other stuff that I have to do that.
The editing and.
Not even the editing.
It's just typing all the hashtags and the description
and the stuff on the video.
That's the stuff where I'm like, no,
I just want to talk into my camera and put it on there
and be done.
But anyway, go through all of that.
And then I post it and, you know,
the labels across my face,
the captions are covering my mouth.
It's like, oh no.
So I delete and I tried again and move them different places,
do the whole thing.
The same thing keeps happening and this happened to me before.
So I just like quit doing it.
But then with you guys talking about it,
I'm like trying again.
And it's still the same thing keeps happening.
So.
Is this?
That's my complaint.
Is this on TikTok?
Yes, on TikTok.
Okay, I'm just looking at your TikTok right now.
So no, I deleted the ones that did that.
So.
Okay, so what did you do?
So you just, you're just not doing text, right?
Right now, is that kind of the fix.
Yeah, I'm not doing the word on the, and I really like having the captioning and
obviously, you know, Bruce was saying having that title is important, so I'm
just not doing it, but I haven't been posting cause I've been like saving up
because I was going to start this week and like do every day.
So were you talking about the, the thumbnail text?
Like when, before people click on it, is that what you're referring to?
No, like right when I'm doing the editing and you said, you know, it gives you the
option to fill in the title thing on the top and then I add the captioning.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
And you can like, there's kind of, you can add text in the video when you're
editing it and then when you're adding the caption, you can also edit the
thumbnail and manually add new text to just the thumbnail.
Um, so even if you don't add text to the video, um, I would still add it to the
thumbnail because it'll help your click through rate.
Um, people see it.
A little better.
Cause you have some videos from earlier Sheree where, where you have that text.
So is it changing for you?
We can look at it.
Oh, she's muted.
Oh yeah.
Sorry.
I, um, muted myself.
Am I good now?
You're good.
Originally I was doing it.
It was fine.
And then like all of a sudden, and again, it was like, I spent, you know, you
spend so much time doing all that and then it's, you know, you feel like, oh
my goodness, wasted time, which I know it's not, it's all learning, but it's
just easier for me not to do it then to like put all the time into it and
then it be across my face.
So,
I see.
Um, we can take a look at it.
I mean, I don't, it'd probably be good to see what you're seeing on your screen,
but that's going to be hard yet until we can see that.
But I will say one thing, cause you mentioned typing out the hashtags and
So something that I do again, this is if depending on what you're using, if you're,
if it's Google docs, if it's notion, I know we talked about this before, but
however, you're organizing your content.
If it's your notes app on your phone, I type it out there.
I do not type it like word for word in the actual app because sometimes apps
crash or it gets deleted.
And so I type out hashtags cause I, we're kind of using the same hashtags,
a couple of them change.
So I can always just copy and paste those into the caption itself, but the
caption, I type it somewhere and then I somewhere that I'm able to access it.
Right.
So I have notion app on my phone as well as my computer.
So I'm usually on my phone or when I'm posting things, I just copy and paste
it from there and paste it into.
The video like complete Amy saying that she does that as well.
I think you're shaking your head.
Yes.
That way if something shuts, shuts off or I, you know, don't save a draft,
it's all somewhere else.
I don't have to like retype it.
Okay.
That's a great idea.
I'm just, I'm going to definitely start doing that because sometimes you feel
like, oh, I'm going to redo this and I got to retype everything and.
Yeah.
So that's one fix for that.
Cause you can, cause a lot of your hashtags are going to be the same each
time, like the for you pay just like that.
So I just have a block, a chunk that we like copy and paste into.
Yeah.
What we do.
So that's a hack for that.
Bruce will connect with you, Shuri about the, what your specific, it
sounds like maybe it's a specific glitch.
So we'll make sure that we get that fixed for you, but Hey, Denise, I see your hand.
Hi, he, um, just quick.
Um, I actually, I posted a video and I had the music at the end of the video
and I also put it at the video and then I realized what I did wrong.
And I could have edited that before I posted it.
But my question is, once you post it, can you edit it?
Cause what happens is I speak for a minute and then the
music goes on for another minute.
And I know how to prevent that in the future.
I just messed up, but once you post it, can you edit it?
Yeah.
You can't edit it.
And, and, um, I'm making sure I'm telling you the right video, but
I've never tried to edit my videos.
Yeah.
We did.
So the tutorial was on last Thursday.
So you can't edit it once it's posted.
Oh no, no, no.
So one thing that you can do Denise is you can repost it.
And if I, instead of you can, I don't want it to be super complicated.
I w I would just repost it and not worry about deleting the video.
Cause you don't want to delete too many videos.
Cause TikTok kind of sees that as spammy.
So just repost it again, correctly.
Okay.
Cause the chances of somebody seeing both of them are especially
this early in the game are rare.
So don't even worry about that video.
Just like repost it again, correctly.
Okay.
And then real quick on the captions, I had the same problem.
They were going over my mouth.
And so is there, and I noticed yours, Lindsay, your videos, a lot of times
your head is at the very top of the camera.
And so maybe if wherever they can't, you can't move the captions.
You can't control what captions go.
Is that correct?
Because.
Or just, you can just control how you record it so that your head is higher on the camera. So when you're talking captions are you talking about the auto generated captions.
Yes.
Yes, like that. Yeah, not the not the text that you create created.
No, I can move that I know how to move that around. Yeah, you can't move the captions themselves so
it kind of like you'll see if you're even like, it's kind of normal sometimes the captions will block people's face because of where how people filmed it so yes you can film it differently so that there's a little bit more room between.
So, you know, because you think they're going to be here kind of on that lower third of the screen. So when you're shooting for future videos. If it happens, and you're like oh shoot it's blocking my face, know that that that happens on a lot of people's
videos and that's okay, because people can turn off captions if they're not using it like it's a setting on their phone.
So you're offering it as a courtesy of like hey if somebody needs captions they can use it, but like, like I use captions if I'm watching silently like if I'm in a waiting room or something right so I can see.
But if I'm, if I'm wanting to, if I'm listening to audio I just turn them off so it's not like a big distraction for people because they're used to, it's auto generated it's going to block part of the picture.
That's okay. Yeah.
Do the analytics favorite captions.
I actually don't know.
I would turn them on though because I feel like it makes you more viewable to people who either have auditory issues or a lot of people like me, if I'm in a waiting room or I'm in public and I'm scrolling through I'm reading captions I'm not, I don't have my audio on.
So it makes your videos more accessible to people, overall, which should help the algorithm.
Okay. Yeah, and then really quick. Okay now I can I can keep this to Thursday nevermind I have another question I'll save it for Thursday. Thank you.
It's really valuable because I saw Susie assets to it is it, it's just your all you're doing it's it's a toggle where you can say a allow for captions and then the app will caption it.
So sometimes it's not always correct but those things are getting smarter and smarter and smarter so for the most part, they're usually correct.
Hey Bobby I see your hand.
I kind of experienced the same thing that Sheree did and not not so much with the title but just the frustration of.
I batched three and that's huge for me so, and that went well I mean I feel like okay this, I can do this.
And then I thought, okay, I'm going to just get on tick tock and really just try to put it in the draft.
And it makes me feel like I need, like, therapy. I.
The music is so loud. I couldn't hear my voice, and I pushed every button that I don't know if I have a different tech tax in the world.
You're going to see me well I have surgery on Thursday so I don't know unless I come out of it I could come into that I need help with that. And I really don't know I don't know when I, I even thought okay I'm not going to bug them so I got on YouTube,
and I looked at every video, and I don't think my kickback has the same icon.
So anyway, but I'm better like I can do this, and it might take longer than everyone else but if I don't give up I'm going to make it so.
Well I love the attitude, and that's true, you keep it up you will make it.
But yeah, the, well, there is, were you able to watch Bobby the step by step editing tutorial that we've done from our previous tech talk challenge with Isaac, and you're not worried, was that what was not matching up.
I love that one and I did it once before but I don't.
Every single button in my, when I went into the songs it's like commercial maybe I'm in the wrong spot but okay, so that's something where you might want to make sure that your profile is a personal profile and not a business profile.
I set it up with our first you know when we did that first one. And I think it was I don't know why, but I can check that. That's for anyone so if you're struggling with like hey I'm not getting, I'm only getting commercial music, that might mean that your
profile is set as a business profile instead of a personal profile so you can check that in your settings.
You want to be a personal profile, because that gives you a lot more features actually in tech talk it's kind of counterintuitive to like say a Facebook, where you'd want a business profile, but it will give you more access to like music and things like that so you want
that is on personal.
How do you know?
Or like, so I sort of set it.
Yeah, so profile settings,
and it should say like profile type.
And this is something too that we'll make a note of
because I'm sure Bobby, you're not the only one.
So we can do like a screen share
and we do like a little tutorial
that we can put in our group of like,
hey, here's how to make sure that your personal profile,
here's where your settings are.
We could do that.
So we just would go into manage account.
Is there a quick way?
Because I don't want to keep doing this
if I'm not doing it right.
Is there just like a quick way to look at my TikTok to see?
Because I know I did it in the group.
So I don't think I set up.
I'll help her.
Okay, Bruce is making a note for you and Sheree.
So he's going to reach out to you guys
just because it will be a specific screen share.
We want to make sure we're looking at the same thing.
Absolutely.
We'll definitely make sure you get unstuck.
Yeah, absolutely.
Hey, Gloria, did you have a question?
Make sure you're unmuted.
Okay, yes.
I just did that.
I actually switched from my personal to a business
and then I lost all the music that I was actually using.
I lost it all.
I was like, what in the world?
If they take away the music, my most favorite music.
So I just did that right now
because I actually did switch to a business.
So I switched back to a personal.
The other thing I do want to encourage people
is my video that I thought it was not good at all.
I thought my voice was like,
that I was too strong on people.
I think a lot of times we have to understand
that there's a lot of spiritual warfare
because we are going into darkness.
We are helping people out of darkness.
There's a lot of spiritual warfare.
And I just want to say that the video
that I actually was not going to post
because I was like, oh yeah, my voice doesn't sound right.
If my kids would hear this, they'd say,
mom, you just sound like really rough
and demanding or whatever.
I actually sent it to my friend and I said,
what do you think of my voice?
You think the way that I'm speaking to people,
do you think it's okay?
Do you think I'm just like too much?
And she listened to it and she says,
no, I think it's great.
I actually posted it.
That is my most popular video.
And as of today, like I posted it a few days ago,
it's got 16,000, 16.6 thousand views
and it's got so many comments.
People have received a lot from it.
A lot of like 800, 900 people have commented
and it's for prayer for pain and against people with pain.
People have gotten healed from that.
So that was a video that just was,
I wasn't even gonna post
because I thought there's something wrong with this,
my voice, my this, this,
but there's a lot of spiritual warfare that's happening.
So I just wanted to share that and encourage you guys
that if you guys are having questions, just post it anyways.
Good encouragement, Gloria.
Hey, Joe, I see your hand.
Hello, I kind of added this in the chat as well,
but I was just curious
and I'm not trying to make it about the numbers.
It's just, I've never really done anything on social media
like TikTok and Instagram and all that before.
So trying to understand the analytics
and the ups and downs is,
and not focus on the wrong things.
But like when I started,
I think I was telling you guys I was having like
anywhere from 500 to almost 1600 views on TikTok.
The prayers would do really well.
The last couple of videos I've done,
like the one yesterday only got up to about,
it was under 300.
And then the one today is going really slow as well.
Like the other ones, the followers
or the users would jump pretty quick
and then taper out here.
It's like just going really slow.
And I was getting five to like five to nine followers
per video before.
And now between the two videos,
I've gotten like maybe three.
And TikTok or Instagram is similar.
I jumped up to almost three,
almost between three and 6,000 accounts reached.
And then it dropped back down
to still better than my original videos.
It was like 400 for one.
And I think today that I posted on Instagram was 600.
So it's even doing better than TikTok at the moment.
And I'm using hashtags from other videos
that have done well and just kind of changed.
Like if it's not a prayer, I take those hashtags out,
things like that.
So I'm just kind of curious,
is that normal to kind of start well
and then just kind of slump down
or am I just focusing on the wrong?
I just want to make sure
I'm not doing something wrong technically.
Yeah, I think, I mean, just looking at your account here,
let me share my screen.
You've got, you know, even just recently
you had this one which has.
1600. Um, basically the short version is don't worry too much about the numbers.
Your numbers are looking really good. Um, just when we Lindsay's first month
or two on Tik TOK, we were averaging about 200 views per video, and we just
never broke 200. So you guys are doing all of you. You're doing just fine.
Like we, we were experimenting. This is a year and a half ago. So we were
experimenting a lot. We're trying a lot of new things out. Um, this is great.
Like you guys for you created this account like a week or two ago. Um, so
you're doing fine. And one, because like, look at these other numbers,
there's obviously likes, um, this one, uh, you know, they, they typically
the amount of views will obviously correlate with the number of likes, but
not always if people are like, you know, so that's always this engagement.
So this one has a 43% engagement, which average like is around 15%. So 20.
So if there's other metrics here, even this one is 39%. So that means that's
how like people are watching more of the video, um, on average, which is
really good. So they're not bouncing. So it means it's getting to the right
people, but you see like this one down here, obviously at two, 2%, I think
this was maybe was in there before. Um, but you can see like, so I would just
keep posting it. Like, you know, this, this all looks really good to me. I
don't think you're doing anything wrong.
That's the short version.
I will. I just, it was just surprising because it went, you know, those
numbers you see, of course, you're obviously excited about it. And you're
like, all right, good. And then it suddenly drops. And because I don't
know what I'm looking at. I'm just like, okay, what did I do? What's
different on these videos that was different from the other ones? So
yeah, thank you.
And there's, there's ebbs and flows,
like, look at the up and down, like, yeah, see, just look at this up and
down, like 529436. We've not changed anything, then 7000. Right. So anyway,
that's, yeah, just just, it doesn't, even with an account, we've been
posting every single day for a year and a half, like, there's still you'll
hit one that just doesn't seem to go. So trick is just to keep doing it.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, there's gonna be, there's gonna be ebbs and flows. So you know,
day to day, you might notice changes or video to video, I would say, like,
when to pay attention is if it feels like a consistent ebb of like, all of
a sudden, it's like, every video you're posting is not getting that same
result, then. And what you can do is you can if there's like the one, like,
I know that you said, specifically in our Facebook group, hey, this message,
I really feel like there's something on it. So if you find that you're not
happy with the views or the engagement, you can repost it with a different
title or a different hook, and see if that's like, changes the engagement.
Yeah, don't feel don't feel like it's over that, you know, we can't use that
message ever again, like, especially if you feel strongly about it. Yeah.
Okay. No, yeah. Thank you. That was a Yeah, I think part of it too, was an
atlas is for anybody else. But I also just kind of feel the Holy Spirit
saying, don't worry so much about the numbers. And to trust him in that. So
maybe something God's just doing to me too. But it's good to know that that's
got a kind of normal thing. I just want to make sure I wasn't, you know,
somewhere I'm using the wrong stuff or doing the wrong stuff there. So thanks.
Oh, yeah, not at all. And you guys, it's Yeah, the number, there's going to be a
work done in you that are I promise you the numbers will the Lord will leverage
the numbers to do work in you. But also the numbers help tell us stuff. So we
don't have to be afraid to focus on those as well. Because it's a legitimate
question. Like, hey, is this tagged? You know, if I tagged it differently, or if
I had a different hook, could it find more engagement? So I want there to be
playfulness in this and experimentation of like, hey, where there's some freedom
where if something falls short, but we really feel strongly about the message,
let's not be afraid to like, put it out there in a different way to see if it
gets more people. There's something in that process, too, for us that I think
is fun and engaging and freeing. Hey, Susie, I see your hand.
So when you're talking about just repost it, um, but with a different hook, I'm
thinking I can't add a new hook on to that done without having the same clip
close in the same setting. Are you so are you saying just do it again? Or are
you saying have a different wording on it? And so I'm thinking, okay, so if I'm
going to repost it, that means I either need to remember exactly what I said, or
I need to have some sort of script.
Okay, so easy repost is just reposting it with with a different text, but a
different title, different texts. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is
to redo it all all together. So like it might be you saying it a little bit
differently, but it's the same message or it's the same truth or same big idea.
It's just delivered differently or different from a different angle. But
what you can also do, which Bruce will be sharing a little bit more about
editing clips together is you can
It doesn't matter if the clothes change,
but you can redo the hook itself at the beginning
and then go into the longer piece of content
that you already have recorded
because you can edit clips together.
So that's another way of doing it.
So there's several ways it can be done.
You could also, like, we'll do that on Thursday.
I'm gonna show you how to like record two or three hooks
in the same clip and then do your body, right?
And then we can just kind of move the pieces around
and create two or three variations.
So our goal would be to kind of share the same post,
but maybe share it two or three different ways
because there's so many different things
like a different hook, a different text on the screen,
different music in the background.
So give that one piece of content
as much chance as possible to get out there.
And I'll say one more thing for Joe,
just because we're using his as an example.
And I just saw it was the one that he posted today.
So it's in the group.
So you guys can all see it to see what he's referring to.
But Joe, one thing that you can do is redo it,
but just edit the script to make it a little bit shorter.
Cause you share like a really needy passage of scripture,
which is great and should not be diminished,
but that might be where you're losing some people's focus.
Cause there is this, I mean,
I don't want to say it's psychological if it's not,
but there is this something when you are used
to hearing Bible stories, you kind of sometimes tune out
when someone reads a long passage of scripture.
If you're not sure if you're interested or not,
like this might be for me, it might not be.
And someone's like, let me read the script
when I start reading.
And you kind of just like zone.
So Joe, something you can do is you can paraphrase the story
and share key parts.
Cause I know that one of the key parts
was Peter's response to the man like gold and silver,
I have none, but this is what I have.
Like that was a key part of it.
So you can kind of, again, using what I just did
with like the anatomy of, okay, this was my hook.
This is the process.
This is the big idea.
It was the fact that Peter wasn't giving,
that wasn't asking Jesus to do something
because it was a gift that Jesus already given Peter.
So Peter was giving something from what he already had.
And that was kind of the big idea I'm paraphrasing
and then ending it.
So there might be a way that you can reword it
to where you're like making it more concise
or curating that piece of the passage,
the piece of passage, curating that passage
just a little bit shorter and getting to the very big idea
that you're trying to encourage people in.
So that could be another way too,
because when we share long form,
for like long passages of scripture,
that might be where we're losing someone
if they're just feeling read to,
because also they might just feel like
you're not talking to them anymore.
Like they just lose engagement.
So it's just something to practice.
I'm not saying like that's how everyone's
digesting the content,
but that's an idea of one way that you can redo something.
Amy, I saw that you had a-
Okay.
Quick question, yeah, just about adding a follow button.
We can talk about that.
I will say that one thing I have learned
for short form content,
you may be talking about long form,
but for short form,
the algorithms really don't like you saying anything
about following or like a link in my bio.
Link in my bio is probably the worst thing.
You can definitely say follow for similar contents,
not as bad,
but anytime you're telling them to do something
or go buy this on my website or go check this out,
they don't really like that.
And so there's some workarounds for that,
but we can look at some of those.
Normally what we would recommend
is either in the text or the description,
use that place to link people out
to what you want them to do.
But if it is long form content,
there is some templates for that
in somewhere in King Messenger TV,
we can help you find that.
Can I just ask this real quick on that?
It's just on Instagram and Facebook shorts,
there's not a place to say follow or anything,
but I'm getting a lot of response,
like a lot of views on both,
but nothing is happening on Facebook.
I mean, like very, very slowly.
So that's why I ask.
Yeah, so kind of the idea like on YouTube
is people will click into your like name
because it will have like your channel name
like that's clickable, like in the short,
and they'll go there to follow.
Facebook is really, I definitely encourage to like,
because basically all you're doing
is to get it on Facebook,
you're just telling Instagram
to go ahead and post it on Facebook as well.
So it's not really much work, it's just a toggle switch.
So I think it's good to go ahead
and get the content out there,
but Facebook is slow going
because it's newer to the real situation.
And I feel like Facebook has kind of screwed
with the algorithm enough
where they haven't really been rewarding people
with enough organic reach.
And so a lot of people aren't seeing content
if, unless it's like.
paid, I think that they're going to have to like change things in order for there to be higher
engagement because I think people are kind of, because of that, they're losing interest in
Facebook. That's a whole nother topic I don't want to get into, but I'll say this. If you have the
ability to post your reels from Instagram, which you all should, if you have a Facebook page already
created, connect those and just go ahead and have the reels post to that, but don't get too caught
up in the insights of it. Like, oh, this didn't get a lot of views. Everything I shared with Joe,
that needs to be more with your like reels, like your Instagram reels and your TikTok,
because they're more robust for short form content. Facebook's not really telling us much
because they're just, does that make sense, Amy? They're just kind of, they're behind the times.
And so it doesn't, it's not as, it's not as informative as far as like, oh, I need to change
this because Facebook isn't getting enough views. Don't worry about that. In other words, just don't
worry about it. Yeah. Post it, but don't use it, don't use it as like a, like when you were, when
you were TikTok or Instagram, like, oh, I need to maybe redo something because the engagement's low.
Because Facebook engagement is low across all content right now. That's not paid because of
the way that Facebook has built itself. So that's a Facebook, that's a Facebook issue.
Awesome. Okay. I know we were going over time, so I know you have to jump, but what I'll do is
for Bobby, or if anyone's got any more technical things, I'll stay on here for another five,
10 minutes. You guys don't have to stay, but I'll just do a couple of quick technical things.
We'll get those off the list. So. And if you didn't get anything answered by me,
you can always post that question. Like we've been active in the Facebook group,
tag us, tag me, and I'll answer those. If you want me to audit your channel, look at your video,
look at your video, give feedback, you know, try to make the question specific if you can like,
hey, can you look at this video and tell me how to make it better? Or
can you give me a different hook idea? Or, and I'll, I'm going to answer those.
Lindsay has a prophetic gift where you just tell her a bunch of stuff and then she'll be like,
oh, why don't you just start it with this one sentence? And she's like,
I love, I love that you think it just comes out. It's so easy. You make it look easy.
Um, okay. Yeah. So I know Bobby had some questions about her thing. I see
Joe had a quick question about posting on Instagram. Um, is Facebook fine? So I would
think that, um, what we're saying on Instagram is there's a check box that you can just check
and it will send the reels to Facebook as well for you. So you're just Instagram,
TikTok, YouTube is where you can focus. So that's good. Okay, cool. Um,
got it. Okay. Let's go. Um, let's go to Gloria real quick. And then, um, I don't know if Amy,
you had another question and then I'll come to Bobby as well. And again, you guys are welcome
to hang out if you, you know, this is helpful. Um, you know, you can go. Okay. Thanks, Bruce. Um,
I started, um, the, the posting on TikTok first and I didn't start on Instagram. Now I'm trying
to get into Instagram. Is there a way that I'm able to do the same videos that I did for TikTok
and just take them to Instagram? Because I, because I know that the, I think it's the
sizing is different. And, um, can you explain that? How I, um, now I have been doing YouTube
TikTok. Yeah. So I'll the quick version is their Instagram reels. TikTok's exactly the same size,
exactly the same format. As long as it's under 60 seconds, you'll be good on both. Um, just know
that I'll send you like a, a link to the, to, to a video to go watch, um, on cam TV that explains
us in a little bit more detail about cross-posting. Um, I don't know if you've watched that already.
Let's do this. I'm going to send you a link. You can go, you don't have to watch it now,
but I'll send this to you. Awesome. Thank you. And another question on Facebook. Uh,
I heard Lindsay say that I, we should have a business account, not a personal account. We
should be using, uh, can you explain that? Or maybe I didn't, uh, cause I'm just using my normal,
um, personal, but should I be switching to a, a page or what should I be switching to?
Definitely want to use a page. Um, and you doesn't have to be a business necessarily,
but you can do a personal page, like an author or a podcaster. Um, there's a few different options
depending on what fits your ministry. Uh, and yeah, but do a separate page. It'll be nice. Cause
you can keep everything separate. People can go follow you on there. There is limitations to your
personal profile. You can't have more than, I think it's 5,000 friends on Facebook. There's a
limit. Um, so people can't just keep friending you forever. Um, you do get kind of maxed out
and then people will just be only be able to follow you. So, um, you know, you, what I would
do is then post the content to your Facebook page.
And then, and you can link your Facebook page to your Instagram account.
So there's a way to do that.
Again, some, some training and stuff on on cam TV but you can get what that'll do is then you can share that content to your personal if you want, you do have a lot of friends following you just share the post that was on the page over to your personal.
Okay. Now there's another thing that I just one of my phones, I couldn't find how to share the real like it wasn't there. And, and then now it's happened to my other phone because I have two phones and.
And I'm going on to Facebook last night I was trying to share a real I couldn't even find the place where to share the real it wasn't like coming up and I was like, so I ran into this yesterday.
Like if you're on the homepage of Instagram on the Instagram app, it's like some, and you hit the plus button, there's no real option and then if you go to the, if you go to your profile, and then hit the plus then there's a bunch of options there so it's just
a weird glitch I hopefully they'll fix it, but the short version is go to your profile on the Instagram app, go to the top, hit the button on Facebook on Facebook.
It doesn't have reels, but they all get shared from Instagram.
Oh, I'm sharing stuff I'm sharing stuff.
And there is a way to do it from there but I would just recommend tying it to your page and then you don't have to post it twice you just post it and tie it into Instagram and Instagram will share it on to Facebook.
Yes, yeah, Instagram to your, to your Facebook page, not to your profile, it won't work to your personal profile but if you have a Facebook page.
Okay, yes, yeah, that's how I would do it.
We'll talk about some of these optimization stuff we've got, you know, over the next eight weeks and others a lot. You guys are all okay, do all the same time but yeah, the main thing is just get consistent, don't worry about going to crazy with posting on every
single platform.
We've gotten like with some of the test accounts we're doing I'm just taking the exact video when you're finished editing on tick tock. It saves the whole video with the music with the text everything to your phone.
When you're done. And sometimes I don't have time to do anything fancy so I just take that exact thing with the music, and I just posted to Instagram, and I know that's exactly what we told you not to do, but you can do it if you're, if you don't have time
I'd rather get it out. Even if there's some music issues.
So we're experimenting it we may get flagged but I'm just, I'm just, I'd rather get the post out for some of these new accounts, and then to to sit there and kind of play with the music and all those details so awesome.
Let me go to think is Bobby had a question about her app. And I'll hang out for a little bit if you guys have any questions you can just put your hand up.
I will see your name there. Hey Bobby.
Okay.
You said you may have the wrong tick tock app.
Well, I, I really don't know but I did see down at the bottom it says switch.
No, that's not it I did see somewhere. Okay, so mine looks like that. Does that help her. That's correct. Yeah, that's the right app.
That's the right app but somehow I did this, this is the one here. Oops. Oh darn. Yeah, this, this is the one here I have it in draft. Okay, but the music is so loud and, and it would be the commercial thing so I don't know what to do.
So, you may be. Are you sure you're not on a business.
No, I'm not sure but I don't think that I am because you know when we signed up you got you guys made it super clear not to do that but how would I could I have switched to a business one, like,
Yes.
I was just going to show you.
Yeah, so if you go to edit profile.
Sorry, sorry sorry so it's the top right the little three dots.
Settings and privacy.
Yeah, it just says down here it says that above, okay settings and privacy I'm sorry. Yeah. And then from there, you can go to manage account.
All right.
And it should look like this like it should say switch to business accounts we don't want to hit that but that if you.
Mine says switch to personal account.
Yeah, so hit switch to personal accounts, you want to get back to being a personal.
If you switch your account you will lose your business.
Okay, yes.
Yes.
Everybody should make sure that does.
Okay.
Businesses get it's totally different, you don't get, you know, as much music so like all of your, the Christian worship stuff all that music is going to go away if you use the business account and you have like a couple little like royalty free music that they
give to businesses but if you're personal. It's more for, it's just they kind of let you do anything on there so.
Okay, so I must have switched to a business account. I'm just while you're here. Can I just.
Okay, so this is how loud it is.
But, so with, I don't have a button to like change the volume, because I saw you kind of, you know, do those toggle. Yeah.
The top. I say that again.
Well, the music is just so loud and when I push on the music it just goes. Yeah.
So you can go, let me just, I'm going to pull this up. You know what, now, it's different now. Okay, I got it. Yeah, it's, it probably was the personal business thing that's messes people up and then you're like no matter what I'm doing it's different
Yeah.
Yeah, so this is wonderful. Okay, guys, we flipped Lindsay's back to personal we ran some ads, like two weeks ago, and Isaac who runs our Lindsay's TikTok for us.
We went on there and he was like hey like our views are down like this is down like what is going on and he was like, and I had made a mistake like I set it to business, just by accident because we had to run an ad so we just flipped it back.
So, just, you know, just keep an eye on it.
Sometimes you're in a screen and you actually tap it and then all of a sudden things change and then you don't know why so good I'm glad we fixed that. I have one question about yeah real quick.
I have my Facebook that I don't really do a whole lot with but I have a page from years ago it was but it was God appointment. And I don't think it'll let me switch that so should I just post this stuff even though my regular thing is give God's breath
away, then just posted on that one right because I've got, I'm not very many but like 400 and some I think people that, but I mean I haven't posted in years so they're going to think oh my god, who is this person.
I think.
So there's actually huge advantages to if you have a new account it's actually better to just post it to a new account, because Tick Tock doesn't or or whichever platform you're on.
They want to see if your contents good or not so they put it in front of a lot of different people for you to see if those people like it. Sometimes if your accounts been around for a while and it's been stagnant you've not posted in a while then they
are like, well, you've been gone for a while like I don't know who you are. So, that's a real thing.
Yeah, so use your new account to your advantage it's like Gloria is getting some crazy awesome results because she's like, it was pretty new and she's been posting very consistently so they're like, they're in it with you so they'll, they'll see that you're
helping bring people up keep people on the platform. And so they'll help boost your stuff. So, can I just say really quickly Bruce that I'm not even I wasn't even putting hashtags.
I'm just posting I'm not putting no hashtag, I just like post. I just just yesterday I just saw some hashtags like alone and hollow Halloween, and all these depressing stuff and I put hashtags on that.
So I decided let's try that but I have not used any hashtags, just experiments with it what it's not going to, it can only help your posts. So, yeah, it's just going to put it, it's going to get it to the right people that your, your engagement
So let's say it shows it to 10,000 people. If 9000 of those people aren't believers, you're just going to get a lot of people just like bouncing really quick to the next video so you're going to get there and watch three or four seconds and then go and three
or four seconds and go, and that hurts your ranking as a, as a video, because Tick Tock wants to see that hey we show it to someone, and they stay on the platform and they keep watching all the way you know 80% 90% to the end.
And that's, that's, then they assume your content is good they don't care what you're talking about. That's the beauty of this thing you could be doing a dance video you could be doing a tech tutorial you can be talking to, you know, praying for people.
They don't care what the content is, as long as it keeps people watching so we're kind of using that to our advantage, and having something like that keeps them to the end is always good way, why you hear people say, Hey, you know this is very clickbait it ish but
you know these are the three things that, you know, brought freedom to me from anxiety, and the third one will really surprise you so then it's like okay number one number two and like I want to know what that third one is going to surprise me like that's
a very cheesy example but people do that stuff all the time.
Like, even if you say like here the, you know, something, there's a lot of ways you can like place a like start a loop is what they call it in the beginning of the pot and then you close that loop at the very end.
Something like that. So, anyway, yeah.
I hope that helps anyone else have any technical things or anything I can help with. I think this is technical. How do I get my read of my videos to my page to your Facebook, my Facebook.
My personal Facebook to my page, how do I transfer them.
Grab my iPad.
There will be a setting in Instagram.
First you got to connect your page, and your Instagram account.
I know we have one more set, let me just send you the video real quick.
Great.
So this one.
This video, I'm going to walk you through it. There we go.
So there's that video this tech Tuesday one and then there's one above that which was the Instagram reels to like how to cross post it really quickly.
So that will definitely help you and it will take you through like how to connect your Instagram account to your Facebook page or just a, there's a screen you got to get to on your page I would do it on your desktop or computer and then bring it in that way.
So, is there something. Is it okay to be starting your videos on Tick Tock and then from Tick Tock to Instagram, or.
Doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't really matter but start with Tick Tock and then you can always go from there.
Awesome. Thank you. Cool.
All right, any other questions I want anyone leave in with. If you have questions.
Good.
Yeah, I will. So, we'll do some more editing techniques on, I know we wanted to get to the script and we'll talk about how we're editing with the script.
And that'll be a little bit more of an advanced tutorial like we'll, we'll be taking the videos from our phone, putting them on the computer and then bringing them back to our phone so we'll show you how to do all that.
We will be doing some stuff about more on the Facebook reels. Yes, it's been Facebook's been kind of dormant but they are bringing reels and very quickly and it is bringing new life to your Facebook page and so there is that that's just another channel
and you can be leveraging. The cool thing is it's not going to add anything else to your plate so we'll probably do a training maybe next week on the technique tech to Thursday, and I'll go ahead and walk you guys through how to set all that Facebook stuff up,
all the new life coming on the Facebook page.
And if you just link it to your Instagram, they will, it'll just post up there for you automatically and all you have to do is get it to Instagram and it will send it to the rest so cool.
All good stuff. Have you guys have a good week you can find us always on the Facebook group, and we'll see you guys on Thursday.
Cheers. Bye.
