I have now met 2 coaches/marketers who have sold more than 5 figures in 5 weeks using live streaming, I have been on Periscopes where there are over 1000 viewers. Another marketer has got the attention of a CEO of a 30 billion dollar company. The CEO has over 1.5M followers on Twitter and only follows 148 and has now followed this particular marketer. Ultimate goal for the marketer is to interview the CEO on a Google Hangout and he has almost got the interview. Mind Blowing, Right? So you be the judge.
A social media coach has increased his business by 30% by using live streaming.
For live streaming there are 3 main platforms Periscope, Meerkat and Blab.im. I have used Periscope and Blab.im. Periscope is owned by Twitter so when you start a live stream it automatically posts to Twitter that you are live streaming. Blab is also integrated with Twitter also send out push notifications to your followers when you start a live stream . . . BRILLLIAAANT!
I have been using live streaming with Periscope myself for the last 2 weeks and the results are as follows:
1st cast I had just over 20 live viewers without any prior marketing, by the 3rd cast I had 85 live viewers. I have now done 8 Periscope and the live viewers are always between 60-90 viewers. Engagement is very high and you can pick up replay viewers too!
Persicope and Meerkat is yourself broadcasting to the world, but on blab.im you can have up to 4 people chatting together. I utilize periscope to broadcast live coaching calls, where as blab.im you can do a hot seat or interview other experts in your niche to provide vale for your prospects and clients. Because it is live and it is video know, like and trust can be built very quickly and a prospect can experience you as a coach and get a taste of your teaching before becoming a full time client.
Tips to get started . . .
Exclusive interview with a tested step-by-step live streaming strategy here . . .
Remember Live streaming is still new so by starting out now you can quickly become an expert on live streaming and have plenty of business opportunities in the future to train and teach others
One last point to consider . . . If you knew how BIG Youtube would become and had a opportunity to be an early adopter would you have started earlier on Youtube? You probably would have . . . well this is the next big thing in social media and growing very fast. So go out there and start live streaming.

Many thanks to everyone who shared the quotes above and the other quotes from last week. I know that there are various aspects that can influence if a quote attracts your attention – if you saw the tweet, personal style, if it speaks to something happening in your life at that moment etc.
(For those of you as geeky as I am and wondering what tool I’m using to measure individual RT’s this week I’ve been playing with www.twitonomy.com)
