Is Facebook Live Video a Good Strategy for Network Marketers?
Hey there, Ninja! Today, I’m going to share with you why you should or shouldn’t be doing Facebook Live videos for your home business, even if the thought of it makes you want to throw up a little….and then I have a special gift for you at the end to help you with Facebook Lives, so make sure to stick around for that.
Let’s dive right in!
I recently went to a weekend training summit hosted by Kate McShea and much of what I’m sharing with you today is takeaways from the massive amount of notes I took there…. you’re welcome!
Boring Disclosure: I use this site to teach you how to become more productive. That comes with expenses & my family likes frozen yogurt, so occasionally I use affiliate links to recommend products I love and I know will help you. Click here if you want to read the full disclaimer (or take a good nap).
In case you don’t know me, I’m Misty Dorman & I love to help busy network marketers use systems, tools, & technology to organize and grow their business more efficiently online. I’m committed to giving you systems & strategies to rock your home business like a ninja!
Ok… so can I ask you a few questions?
How would it feel if you had people coming to you daily already interested and ASKING YOU about your products, service, or opportunity?
How would it feel if you could quickly create curiosity instead of begging friends and family to buy from you or join your company?
Do you ever feel like Facebook is a bit congested or busy?
Like there’s just so much going on in your newsfeed & notifications that it’s kind of overwhelming?
I want to shift your mindset on this a bit…
This is something Kate prompted us to think about in her training: Would you say this is it an internal belief or is it something external that you KNOW to be true?
Can I talk Facebook video stats with you for just a minute?
I’m a little nerdy, so I love this kind of stuff…
These are some statistics I got from Kate at her summit:
- 78% of people watch online videos every week and 55% view online videos every day.
- By 2020, online videos will make up more than 80% of all consumer internet traffic (85% in the U.S.).
- Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to 10% when reading it in text.
- 100 million hours of video are watched each day on Facebook.
- 500 million people watch Facebook videos every day.
- Facebook videos receive 135% more organic reach on avg than a Facebook photo
- Shoppers who view demo videos are 1.81 times more likely to make a purchase.
Also, Facebook places more importance on LIVE videos than uploaded videos, so they show them in more newsfeeds and even pop them up in notifications.
The bottom line is, Facebook lives are one of the best ways for network marketers and other entrepreneurs to get their message out for FREE.
If You’re Not Doing Live Videos, It’s Time To Really Evaluate Why.
What excuses are you making? What’s stopping you? Is it thoughts like…
- What if I'm not good enough?
- What if I look stupid?
- What if I sound weird?
- What if they don't like me?
Why did you start your business? Did you have hopes of…
- Impacting people?
- Serving a larger purpose?
- Creating financial & time freedom for your family?
How can you impact others if you’re focused on yourself?
Are you letting YOU stop yourself from impacting someone else’s life?
What if there’s someone out there who can’t retire right now because they need YOU?
What if there’s someone out there who can’t spend more time with their family because of your insecurities and inability to take a step out of your own head?
What if there’s someone out there suffering because you feel too uncomfortable to put yourself out there
Do you want to continue being consumed by all of these reasons you've told yourself that doing video isn't your jam or do you want to touch peoples' lives?
Yes video can seem scary, but it’s a powerful vehicle for massive change.
Now that you realize the only thing stopping you is yourself, what are you going to do to change it?
