FOMO is also a part of what makes live stream videos so enticing, people don’t want to miss out on what’s going on right NOW
Luckily for you, your live videos can continue to bring value to your brand long after the camera has been turned off. Try these tips and strategies for getting the most from your live videos.
Divide & Conquer
While people are keen to watch more lengthy live broadcasts, the average video view of a non-live (pre-recorded) video is much shorter. To maximize your live broadcasts’ shelf life, clip it into shorter segments and repurpose it.
For example, let’s say you did a 20 minute live broadcast. Once you save that video to your camera roll you can now edit it into shorter segments. Consider breaking it into 1-2 minute segments that you can drip out during your next marketing campaign.
When you’re planning and writing your live video script, plan to cover several topics that can be addressed in 1-2 minute segments. This will make your editing much easier. Editing tools and tips here.
These short videos can also be the foundation for a series of blog posts or social ads.
Live Stream Videos Dress Rehearsal
Does going live make you nervous? If so, tune in and learn how you can have a dress rehearsal to iron out the tech and the topic.

Do your clients stumble when using some piece of technology connected to your business; your booking engine, group registration form, etc?
