FROM YOU TUBE TO PERISCOPE & BACK

FROM YOU TUBE TO PERISCOPE & BACK

FROM YOU TUBE TO PERISCOPE & BACK Transitioning From YouTube To Periscope & Live Streaming Guest Blog Post By Ms. Candy Blog     Since May 31, 2015, I have been a live streamer, prior to which I was a YouTube creator for a year and a half. My YouTube channel had moved from high production videos shot with a camera (not to mention scheduling, shopping, scripting, shooting, and editing), to quick vlogs done directly through an iPhone.   It directly affected my YouTube performances, moving from didactic monologues to conversational updates.  Live streaming is everything I was searching for and came at the perfect time in my journey as a content creator. My first Periscope stream was similar to everyone’s–hit “Start Broadcast” and see what the thing does.  When I finally got my bearings, I decided to bring what I had been doing on YouTube to Periscope. In 2015, my theme song from YouTube found its place at the beginning of my “scopes” with my headshot.  In 2016, the theme song is played throughout the broadcast without a consistent open shot as the platform’s format has changed. As people started to enter the “room”, I welcome them in, greeting them by name.   The “Romper Room Effect” (based on the children’s television show where the participants wore name tags and were welcomed by name) is very powerful as the most beautiful word in any language is a person’s name.   It also serves to create a relationship between viewer/participant and broadcaster somewhat similar to the relationship between teacher and student; remember when a teacher knew your name and...
FACEBOOK LIVE OR PERISCOPE?

FACEBOOK LIVE OR PERISCOPE?

FACEBOOK LIVE OR PERISCOPE? 3 Key Factors To Help You Decide ((Guest Blog Post By Ms. Candy Blog))     I’ve been livestreaming for over a year, beginning on Periscope after hearing a few people mention.  Like the majority of those who Periscope, my first “scope” (term used for first livestream on Periscope) was with the back camera of my phone showing my surroundings, specifically traffic on the Long Island Expressway in the rain. I quickly got the hang of Periscope which has been through so many updates that as I write this, there’s likely some new feature being worked on that’ll be in the next update pushed out. In a year’s time a lot has changed in the livestreaming landscape.  Periscope has listened to its users’ needs and requests and the app has improved greatly.  There have also been a number of app based competitors (YouNow, MyWay, MeVee, Busker, Live.Me) who have sprung up while others have gone by the wayside (MeerKat).   That said, the closely knit community of Periscope has expanded to other streaming options; the one which has seen the largest use is Facebook Live. I’m often asked what are the differences between Facebook Live and Periscope.  While there are quite a few, there are three which I feel are the key differentiating factors in selecting the platform which is right for you.   (1) Building Your Following     Well the mass majority have been on Facebook for years.  How many friends do you have? These friends quickly turn into viewers as you stream directly from your Facebook profile.   Viewers will see the...
THE 7 DAY PERISCOPE CHALLENGE

THE 7 DAY PERISCOPE CHALLENGE

THE 7 DAY PERISCOPE CHALLENGE A Guest Blog By Paul Thomson     A little over a week ago, I decided to start a Periscope challenge in that I would scope every day for 7 consecutive days. With absolutely no experience using Periscope before, I really wanted to try it out! I’d never dabbled in live streaming before last week, and it’s not something I’d ever giving much thought. There was a moment recently that really tweaked my interest, and started the ball rolling. I happened to stumble across a Facebook Live stream from the man himself, Mark Zuckerberg. Watching Mark hanging out on Facebook Live, I was completely fascinated, and that’s exactly what got the ball rolling for me… Now, my Facebook profile is traditionally family & friends, they know me & see me all the time, so I didn’t feel like it would be useful for me to experiment with live streaming on that platform. On the other hand, Twitter is my key to the world. I am very lucky to have so many amazing connections on Twitter, reaching every corner of the globe! I’m truly grateful to have a really great bunch of engaged followers. For this reason, I decided to choose Periscope as my weapon of choice in my crazy social media experiment. You can find my Periscope profile at: www.periscope.tv/ThomsonAus. So, here’s the top 3 weird things I learned throughout the experiment week:   (1) It’s OK To Feel Uncomfortable At First   I felt so uncomfortable and a little embarrassed at first. I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to make each...
IS PERISCOPE GOOD FOR BUSINESS?

IS PERISCOPE GOOD FOR BUSINESS?

IS PERISCOPE GOOD FOR BUSINESS? 5 Top Tips To Get The Best From Periscope     Guest Blog Post By Amazon Best Selling Author Victoria Rose   As a Leadership Trainer with over three decades of experience in talking to people for days on end, surely live broadcasting should be relatively easy? Having faced both large and small audiences, some hostile, some friendly, one would think I was well prepared for Periscope. Not so. Even the learning curve of producing my own videos for the last three years does not compare to a Periscope live broadcast (called a Scope). Whilst I finally got the cringe factor down from a 10 to a four when editing my videos, live broadcasting takes the cringe-factor to a whole new level of cringe.   It’s all because of that four letter word … “LIVE”    Why? No chance to edit out the bad bits like you can with a video. No slide-show to keep you on track and no ability to control the questions like you can with a face-to-face workshop. Those constant, often irrelevant, questions and comments moving up the screen as you enthusiastically speak your words of wisdom can really throw you off track. For instance, when explaining a key concept to surviving the minefield of life then to be asked if I did my own makeup makes one doubt the worth of those words. Trolls populate every platform and that’s certainly true for Periscope. One such troll asked if I sucked d#@k. Thankfully, I knew how to block offenders. That’s why the comments are seen by the broadcaster before becoming...

JOIN THE VIDEO MARKETING REVOLUTION

JOIN THE VIDEO MARKETING REVOLUTION Guest Blog Post & Blab By Preston Odenbrett What Is Your Favourite Travel Destination? (Blab Video Replay) Video marketing has definitely arrived in a big way!! YouTube statistics indicate that it has more views and more uploads per minute than many other major channels and both individuals and businesses alike are consuming video at an ever increasing rate.  Why would that be surprising? Look at how long it took TV to take over households back in the 1950’s when radio was the major medium for most households. I believe TV gained 50% adoption five years less time than radio did. Video today is getting  a massive lift due in part that Social Media is allowing video to be part of postings. Many who are in the video business have been watching this bubble grow larger each and every year and some people say that video will take over the internet in the next five years or less. It helps that bandwidth speeds have gone up and providers are allowing the bandwidth to go through cable but also through the air using many mobile devices that are in the market today.   Virtual Reality (VR)   The future is here - users can now be in a room at their home or office and be able to place an object lets say a motorcycle and be able to rotate and actually manipulate the object in anyway the user decides. If you remember Star Trek and some other TV shows in which you can change the environment that they are in and be able to share that with others to...
