Speaker:perspective, cuz again, your, your list of accolades is, is long, but, and we can
Speaker:go into that too, but I really wanna talk.
Speaker:Course what makes who you are, who you are today.
Speaker:All right, man.
Speaker:Dr.
Speaker:Fred Lopez, I am basically born and raised in Puerto Rico.
Speaker:A hundred percent Puerto Rican.
Speaker:I went to an all English school when I was little.
Speaker:So my English is, is, is good because of that because of my parents went
Speaker:and, and put my that school basically.
Speaker:So, um, I grew up around technology.
Speaker:I, um, my doctors, um, I mean, my, my master's in my, uh,
Speaker:bachelor's are in technology.
Speaker:Um, my doctor is in management, so I've done a bunch of stuff
Speaker:in between the coast guard, technology, maritime, transportation.
Speaker:I've done a lot of things.
Speaker:What I really love doing is, uh, you know, creating content about live streaming.
Speaker:How did it came upon that I've been watching, um, L and David, when we
Speaker:were back together forever, since they were geek beat or, you know, all
Speaker:the names they had before for live streaming pros, I've been a fan of them.
Speaker:I ended up being a moderator and while being a moderator, I started
Speaker:doing Lida, um, you know, live every day in April and in August.
Speaker:And by my second leader, man, I was felt I fell in love with live
Speaker:streaming, to be very honest.
Speaker:So moving forward from that, I started doing my own thing in September, 2020.
Speaker:And from then on, I haven't looked back, you know, I've been doing tutorials,
Speaker:uh, anything that has to do with live streaming and tech, especially after
Speaker:the tech, which basically is a movement.
Speaker:And it means have detect.
Speaker:Start with whatever you have.
Speaker:If you have a cell phone, that's what you gonna start with.
Speaker:Forget about the rest.
Speaker:And man, I'm, I'm happy married, man.
Speaker:I'm a family man.
Speaker:And, uh, I have a beautiful wife named rose Marie and my kid seven year old,
Speaker:which is the light in my eyes, Franco.
Speaker:So that's basically me in nutshell, man, you are well
Speaker:rounded individual right there.
Speaker:Love it, brother.
Speaker:I appreciate you for, for bringing that up and, and telling again the
Speaker:context, cuz a lot of times folks just see us for an hour or so a day
Speaker:doing what we do and we're always on.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But what, what happens when we're not on these with the lights and
Speaker:not with the camera, not with the microphones and things of that nature.
Speaker:Um, interesting that, that you mentioned that you kinda got turned on via L I've
Speaker:actually known Laurie for a long time.
Speaker:I knew her back into Kelly Lewis that so I, we, we go back a long time and hadn't
Speaker:seen each other for a long time until.
Speaker:The social media marketing world in, in San Diego a couple of months ago.
Speaker:So it was, it was a great, uh, get to see her again as well.
Speaker:So, so yeah, I mean good people.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:She, she, she is good people and shout out to C cam too.
Speaker:You know, her, her, uh, her, uh, community manager's um, let's let's talk about,
Speaker:listen, we got comments coming in.
Speaker:We got questions coming in Gabe.
Speaker:No, see we not, we're not gonna do that.
Speaker:You're asking about the microphone.
Speaker:We already talked about F the tech.
Speaker:We're not, we, we're not gonna get into it.
Speaker:That's the pod mic that he's rocking.
Speaker:I'll just, I'll just say it.
Speaker:Actually.
Speaker:It's not a pod mic.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:Come on now look like a pod.
Speaker:Mike it's limelight five 12.
Speaker:You just make enough stuff now, bro.
Speaker:It was a gift from, um, Tom buck actually, is that right?
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Hey, Hey buck.
Speaker:You supposed to, you got an email too, that you need to read there, Dr.
Speaker:Buck, uh, hint, hint to, to my community.
Speaker:Uh, just going, I'm just gonna drop that right there too.
Speaker:Uh, listen, man, let, let's talk about this, Gabe.
Speaker:I see your other question and we're, we're gonna go into that,
Speaker:but not too long ago, actually.
Speaker:I believe on the seventh you did a show, you did a stream
Speaker:called my content workflow.
Speaker:Correct?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And that's kind of where I want to go today.
Speaker:I want to talk to aspiring content creators.
Speaker:I wanna talk to folks that are early on in this season.
Speaker:I wanna talk to folks who are just getting monetized, right?
Speaker:So some very, uh, still hungry folks that are doing this content creation
Speaker:journey, either as a side hustle or looking to actually move this into
Speaker:so that they do, uh, full time.
Speaker:And I wanna talk to you about how you go about planning, coordinating.
Speaker:And then distributing the content cuz you're, you're very active across
Speaker:multiple social media platforms with the content that you create.
Speaker:And if we can just talk a little bit about a day in the life of Dr.
Speaker:ELO in terms of creating content.
Speaker:So like today you had a stream about, uh, how to go live on LinkedIn live, right?
Speaker:So the mind of that, if you don't mind, just, I just wanna walk through that.
Speaker:If I had a whiteboard in this room there, we, we draw it on the board
Speaker:and all too, but, but let's talk a little about, about that and
Speaker:then bring our, our, uh, comments.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So a date in the life, uh, Dr.
Speaker:ELO basically starts at six in the morning, six in the morning.
Speaker:I wake up I'm military.
Speaker:I'm used to it.
Speaker:It's totally normal to wake up at five something in the morning
Speaker:or six and just keep on going.
Speaker:The first thing that I do is obviously I get some breakfast, some coffee, and sit
Speaker:down at this computer and create content.
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:That's the first thing that I do.
Speaker:I do, um, anything from a post that I thought in the morning or thought the
Speaker:day before I finish a newsletter, I finish, um, doing a small clip of a video.
Speaker:I do everything in that morning through six to seven because I
Speaker:start my day teleworking at seven.
Speaker:Now when I go to the office on Mondays, I do it on Sunday and
Speaker:leave it, you know, ready to go.
Speaker:Now I already have a template.
Speaker:I use Filmora to do, uh, every, all my editing.
Speaker:So I have that.
Speaker:I also use, uh, combination of softwares starting from.
Speaker:Let me see here, Terry, before you go into that, tell folks who may not
Speaker:know what Filmora is because some of us know, I don't wanna assume though,
Speaker:about M Filmora is a editing app.
Speaker:You can edit your videos, your audio, you can edit pretty much everything.
Speaker:So that's what Filmora is a lot of people have the free version.
Speaker:I have the top notch version.
Speaker:Obviously I use it every single day.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It only cost me about 90 bucks with a coupon from, I don't
Speaker:know where probably from.
Speaker:What is it?
Speaker:What's this, this place that's always bugging you, honey.
Speaker:I believe I got something.
Speaker:you saw that on my, on my browser too, a few minutes ago when we were looking
Speaker:at broadcasters, but yeah, we won't give away all the secrets that we have.
Speaker:Yeah, I know.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So I basically got it from there.
Speaker:And from then on, they give updates every couple months or so, and
Speaker:it's really getting really good.
Speaker:And Daniel Batal is the person who I've learned from he's the master in Phil Mora.
Speaker:So go check him out.
Speaker:And if you wanna do anything with Phil Mora, he's the guy to watch.
Speaker:I think, uh, Daniel's also a, an ambassador or an affiliate
Speaker:with, with stream yard.
Speaker:So I, I know he goes live with, with that platform as well, talking about
Speaker:different technologies and different tools and things of that nature, so, okay.
Speaker:So I go and, uh, uh, have an idea already of what I'm gonna do.
Speaker:The first thing that I do is that obviously, um, once I finish the
Speaker:live stream, I download it because I know I'm gonna be using that
Speaker:live stream somewhere around, um, next week or this week or whatever.
Speaker:And I put it in this script, I put it in this script.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Which program that basically converts all of your video into a script, a
Speaker:transcript on and words, it looks like a word document and you can
Speaker:actually edit it there, make those edits right there, fix, uh, whatever
Speaker:you, your ums fix your, the, yeah.
Speaker:The filler words and things of that nature right now, which is
Speaker:thinking, um, all that stuff.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I'm, I'm gonna cut all that out in, in, in post after this.
Speaker:Don't worry.
Speaker:Don't worry.
Speaker:You all right?
Speaker:I got you, mate.
Speaker:I got you.
Speaker:So basically I do that.
Speaker:I have it there standing, and then I start taking clips.
Speaker:Like small clips that, of, of nuggets that you give the public, those clips, bam.
Speaker:And afterwards what I do is that I take it to film Mora.
Speaker:I edit it, I take it out of the edit.
Speaker:I export it.
Speaker:Like they call it and after I export it, I go to a GU pole, a girl pole.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So you are using a go pulse right on okay.
Speaker:Yeah, straight up.
Speaker:I'm a partner with them as well.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So, um, I do both.
Speaker:I sell a girl portals and, and it's a hard word for me.
Speaker:Don't worry about it.
Speaker:that's right.
Speaker:Say in Spanish or something like that, but basically I take a girl
Speaker:pulse and put a thumbnail in there.
Speaker:Uh, and the thumbnail I've learned that it's easier when you have shorts like a, a
Speaker:one by one, um, format, like in Instagram.
Speaker:And that's the one that I use for every platform, because
Speaker:that one works for everything.
Speaker:I take the, uh, a photo, like a photo from whatever part of the live stream
Speaker:that I'm speaking, that I'm engaging.
Speaker:And I put it at the beginning of the, of that video and convert it into
Speaker:basically the thumbnail automatically.
Speaker:That's what it does.
Speaker:I tell you what I'm gonna, while you're talking, because you, you, you touched
Speaker:on this during that particular stream.
Speaker:And I, I want to kind of maybe show that as well, if I can, because that
Speaker:was a neat li life hack that you did of making kind of that, that
Speaker:thumbnail out of the, uh, environment.
Speaker:So it's easier and it works, you know, it's already done, so might as well just
Speaker:take a picture, put it in the front.
Speaker:Game over.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That, do you see the corner to the left?
Speaker:You'll see in there in that, and, and Phil Mara, that there's like a little
Speaker:spot in the corner left, that's it?
Speaker:You can see it right there.
Speaker:It says, ask Dr.
Speaker:ELO, the live streaming doctor.
Speaker:So it starts like that.
Speaker:You already have that in there.
Speaker:You don't have to worry about doing any thumbnails.
Speaker:So you save time, you save money, you, you, you know,
Speaker:you outsource your thumbnails.
Speaker:So it kind of helps out.
Speaker:It's really, really easy to do.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And afterwards I just, you know, go to what's the name of it?
Speaker:Uh, rebranding have a rebrand account.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:What does that do?
Speaker:I turn my ass, Dr.
Speaker:elo.live into a forward slash and put information about what I want you to see.
Speaker:So what I do is that I put my live stream with the rest of the information of the
Speaker:snippet that I just gave you and that, um, social media, uh, Post that I gave you.
Speaker:I give you a little wording about it, which the wording with help of
Speaker:a, of a program called Jasper helps me write everything, which Jasper is
Speaker:a AI that helps you write content.
Speaker:Whenever you're out at ideas, you put ideas in there and this helps
Speaker:you just, you know, you don't have to use everything from Jasper, right?
Speaker:Just ideas, put it in your own words and then you have a post.
Speaker:So I put the information under the post.
Speaker:I tag whatever company I'm talking about.
Speaker:For example, last time I tagged El Gato, I got what F 1500 views in
Speaker:LinkedIn that that's on call for.
Speaker:Usually love it.
Speaker:So I do all that.
Speaker:And then watch here a little hand.
Speaker:And then the link that I just talked about that says, ask.
Speaker:Dr.
Speaker:ELO live slash Elga.
Speaker:You're a bad man.
Speaker:You're a bad man.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Hold on.
Speaker:See you.
Speaker:I told y'all to get your pen and pad, and if you're not recording,
Speaker:just, just rewind because Dr.
Speaker:ELO in like 10 minutes has already given you a full course on
Speaker:content creation in his journey.
Speaker:Let's backtrack again, cuz you, you gave a lot of good information there
Speaker:and I was showing the, the last stream that you did, where you took that
Speaker:profile picture, then, then we will get into, into these comments folks.
Speaker:Don't don't trip.
Speaker:I'm not gonna forget about you.
Speaker:Um, Phil, more phenomenal tool.
Speaker:It is available on windows and Mac.
Speaker:Yeah, that's great.
Speaker:It's it's um, available for, I think there's actually a mobile app, correct?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:For at least, at least on the, I look at you.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:See now you showing.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:See, that's what I use.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:I love so a great alternative to something like an IMO, something like, uh, Adobe,
Speaker:premier, uh, something like on the Mac slide, look, look as final cut pro folks.
Speaker:They Camtasia as well.
Speaker:It's an alternative to that.
Speaker:So, cause I've been looking at Camtasia a little bit and just
Speaker:trying to find other tools.
Speaker:I know final cut, but just again, staying active and knowing different tools.
Speaker:So, uh, take a look at what Phil Mora.
Speaker:I think it's word share Filmora, but Filmora Filmora and F more 11 are the two,
Speaker:it's not the best in the world that, you know, it's the one that I used, the one
Speaker:that I learned, but it's straightforward.
Speaker:It does what it needs to do.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And you don't have to sit in there and right.
Speaker:So, so that's, there's value in that perspective right there that you
Speaker:can take a clip and you can create everything that you need to really fast.
Speaker:I think I just got a notification that my final, that my RER shifted.
Speaker:Oh, it did.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:squirrel just did ass what's up.
Speaker:Just script now I used descript used past, I, I have to say that cuz my, my guys
Speaker:from a headliner are probably watching.
Speaker:I'm a huge headliner fan, very similar tools.
Speaker:Uh, but again, being able to do transcriptions of audio and video content
Speaker:folks that, that that's power in that there's SEO magic in being able to
Speaker:transcript your, your, your content and the fact that that's part of the package.
Speaker:You don't have to pay for words or hours of transcription time.
Speaker:That's just what you get by having a subscription to edit.
Speaker:You can edit there.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So the, um, what, what's the, the voice that you could
Speaker:actually do with the script?
Speaker:The, uh, um, When you do your own voice or the over overdo, that's it?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:The overdo.
Speaker:So literally you can re you can record, you can train the script
Speaker:to use your voice for any time that you update the transcript.
Speaker:That is really scary.
Speaker:That's, crazy's crazy.
Speaker:Sounds like what fantastic tool as, as well.
Speaker:And I'm just kind of going through some of the things that you use, just
Speaker:so we don't, we don't gloss over 'em.
Speaker:Uh, you talked about Jasper AI, uh, Jasper AI is the truth, right?
Speaker:Being able to use artificial intelligence to create blog, titles, descriptions,
Speaker:uh, outlines, everything, all of that.
Speaker:Right now, there's a alternative to that, which is called word hero.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And you can get an app Sumo for a one time payment of, I think it was 59 99.
Speaker:Oh, listen, shout out to AB Sumo.
Speaker:They know me over there too.
Speaker:Yeah, they're good, man.
Speaker:They're good.
Speaker:I, I Absolut was on point.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:So word hero, you get word hero in there.
Speaker:If you don't have the budget to spend $30 a month, which is the, the
Speaker:lower tier mm-hmm Hey, word hero.
Speaker:You can get it for 60 bucks or 70 bucks or whatever.
Speaker:And it's exactly the same.
Speaker:I got both of them because for some reason I compliment one with
Speaker:another, I conduct creator stuff.
Speaker:it's being paid by the business.
Speaker:You know, there, there you go.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It it's, it's a write off, nothing wrong with that.
Speaker:You look, man, hold on.
Speaker:You're bringing in all these, these, these champions too.
Speaker:I, I go, I scream every other day and, you know, look, I got, we
Speaker:got ally Johnson in the building.
Speaker:We got Alec what's up, my friend, we got Dr.
Speaker:Rich Graham in the building.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I, you just need to come every, every other day.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Because shout out to everyone else as well.
Speaker:But you know, these are folks that, uh, only come out.
Speaker:No just come out at night kind of thing.
Speaker:Um, love that.
Speaker:I love that.
Speaker:Uh, go or pulse.
Speaker:You mentioned that as well.
Speaker:I use a platform called, uh, content studio, very similar, right?
Speaker:Allow allowing you to take all of your social media platforms
Speaker:and create, uh, content micro content that you can push out.
Speaker:So that's how I pushed out the, the promo about two hours ago, about our stream.
Speaker:I pushed it out to Instagram, to Twitter, to Facebook.
Speaker:I, I like the, a Agora pulse mobile app, much better than
Speaker:the content studio mobile.
Speaker:So listen, folks, anything that you get out here, anything that we're
Speaker:talking about, that, that ELO's talking about, you get what you pay for and
Speaker:that, and some of these some of these platforms, some of these products do
Speaker:cost a little something each month from a, a subscription perspective.
Speaker:But again, well, Again, like, like there it is right there.
Speaker:If you, if you're serious out here and you're trying to build a community,
Speaker:you're trying to build an audience and you're trying to stay in front
Speaker:of that community with your content.
Speaker:You have to buy, you have to take advantage and utilize these tools
Speaker:because automation just makes sense.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:You can't be out here waking up every morning.
Speaker:Like, like you said, at five, six o'clock in the morning and, and just send out
Speaker:individual posts to all those different platforms and cur it and make, make it for
Speaker:a Facebook post, make it an, an Instagram post, make it a TikTok, all of that.
Speaker:Why not use some automation tools out there and take advantage of the
Speaker:technology instead of you having to go out there and recreate the wheel.
Speaker:So I wanted to preface everything that we've talked about thus
Speaker:far with that piece right there.
Speaker:Um, I call 'em headache, beaters, headache, beaters, headache, beaters.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:That's.
Speaker:There's nothing to it, because guess what you go to, uh, anywhere
Speaker:and grab a beer and this and that.
Speaker:That's 60 bucks.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I don't drink.
Speaker:If I drink, I have to be like in a party or something that
Speaker:can have one drink or two.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I save all that money.
Speaker:So why not use it for something?
Speaker:That's good.
Speaker:So that's why, that's how I see my investment.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I tell you what you save all your money and in August 22nd or 23rd, meet me
Speaker:and rich Graham in Dallas, cuz we're gonna be at, at podcast movement.
Speaker:I'm just flying.
Speaker:I'm swooping in just for the E cam meet up.
Speaker:I I'm buying the first round of drinks on, on everyone.
Speaker:I won't, you don't wanna drink.
Speaker:You don't have to buy drinks.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And then I'm swooping out.
Speaker:So no in that location.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I'll make the exception.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:They, so it's already, I put it out there.

Speaker:you you kicked it into gear too.
Speaker:A little bit, right?
Speaker:Oh, I love it.
Speaker:We, we, we talked about some tools and we highlighted some tools that you
Speaker:do at the beginning of that process.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Thinking about what the content is and then push and downloading
Speaker:that, that that's a, that's a good.
Speaker:Step that you do as well, downloading the content from whatever
Speaker:platform you're, you're in coder.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So if you're using a B live or a stream yard or a E cam or a re stream, whatever.
Speaker:So are you saying you, you download it off of their cloud environment to where you
Speaker:have it locally so you can manipulate it?
Speaker:Yes, yes.
Speaker:Or use the E cam one and just keep it, you know, I, I use all of them.
Speaker:I'm very sincere.
Speaker:That's why I mentioned that's why I mentioned all of those platforms.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I need to keep up with every single one and I use, I swap 'em out.

Speaker:Uh, okay.
Speaker:So we talked about the early stages early process.
Speaker:Before we go into some of the other tools that you use, uh,
Speaker:I'm not even gonna mention 'em.
Speaker:I want to get into some of these comments, because I think these, these are some
Speaker:relevant questions that were being asked.
Speaker:So shout out to you.
Speaker:Gabey in the building.
Speaker:What is the first thing?
Speaker:Any aspiring content creator should consider before starting
Speaker:to share their content easy?
Speaker:What is your topic?
Speaker:What do you wanna talk about?
Speaker:That's the first thing.
Speaker:If you don't know, what are you gonna talk about?
Speaker:What are you wanna share with the world?
Speaker:You need to sit down first and write, you know, write it down, write it down.
Speaker:Uh, what do you feel happy talking about?
Speaker:Um, what is your everybody cultures?
Speaker:Niche?
Speaker:I just call it what's my.
Speaker:To be very honest, because niche is too small.
Speaker:Start with whatever you want, whatever you feel comfortable, whatever you can think
Speaker:about something you can speak for hours, they can be in having a conversation and
Speaker:join that conversation with somebody else.
Speaker:And that's it.
Speaker:Once you have that, you can start building your systems.
Speaker:And, um, I talk in systems because, um, I've been trained to talk in
Speaker:systems, uh, with my doctor's degrees.
Speaker:Uh, I took a class in systems and that changed my whole brain around.
Speaker:And, um, then I found EV which you, we will all know mm-hmm Yvon hand, right.
Speaker:She's one of my coaches.
Speaker:So she's my click up coach.
Speaker:So I use click up for everything like encompassing, everything,
Speaker:everything that I do it's in there.
Speaker:So my system is in there, but yeah, it's all systems.
Speaker:In the intro.
Speaker:I talked about you being a, not just a creator, but an evangelist
Speaker:and the strategist yeah.
Speaker:In the services that you provide to aspiring creators and, and as
Speaker:creators in general, do you walk them through, can we add coach to that?
Speaker:Do you, do you walk folks through again, how do you utilize some, because click
Speaker:up is, is, is pretty, pretty vague.
Speaker:It's not vague, very intense.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Very, very, very encompassing and, and walking someone through a click up and
Speaker:a notion and a Trello and things like that, those systems of record can be kind
Speaker:of daunting to folks, cuz they'll take their eyes off of that end goal of just
Speaker:creating content and, and driving and build a community and say, yeah, well ELO
Speaker:just said, I gotta have a system in place.
Speaker:I can't just use the Rocka book that I got here all the time.
Speaker:I gotta have it, you know, prioritize and documented things of that nature.
Speaker:You can use Google notes or apple note.
Speaker:And I learned this Diana, Diana Lanny, who is my second coach.
Speaker:My third coach is Ash Bolan.
Speaker:I got the three of them.
Speaker:Those are my three key people that I go to.
Speaker:And I, you know, get my coaching from yeah.
Speaker:Apple or Google notes.
Speaker:Doesn't matter.
Speaker:Doesn't really matter.
Speaker:Just use whatever you have.
Speaker:Just put it down in a piece of paper.
Speaker:That's all you can do after you have that in a piece of paper, it's a
Speaker:system, whether it's in a complicated, um, click up, you know, setup or
Speaker:whether it's in a piece of paper or in a rocket book, it is written down.
Speaker:It is a system.
Speaker:You just need to know how to follow it.
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:I, I appreciate you for saying that, because honestly, that was a leading,
Speaker:leading statement and, and I wanted to hear your opinion on that, right.
Speaker:Kinda get in where you fit in or you hear, hear us talk a lot about.
Speaker:What's the best camera that you got more than one that you got right in
Speaker:front of you, you submit a thousand dollars on this phone, which you don't
Speaker:normally use to even take phone calls with you using that, to take photos and
Speaker:videos with utilize that technology.
Speaker:So, uh, start with what you have learn that you've mentioned miss Diana.
Speaker:Gladney right.
Speaker:She's always talking about know your tools, right?
Speaker:Mm-hmm you, you buy a Sony's uh, what is this?
Speaker:The, which one I got now the a 74, 2500 camera ELO, the CV ELO.
Speaker:That's how I call it.
Speaker:Oh, see that.
Speaker:I that's why I tripped up.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Cause I, I got them looking at me right here.
Speaker:They they're on the sides.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And I said, I got ELO right here.
Speaker:I, I should at least leave me alone.
Speaker:But again, so that's $2,500 that you spent on the camera and, and
Speaker:you're just gonna Mount it there.
Speaker:Get the settings, right?
Speaker:Learn the tools of your track of your craft and the trade.
Speaker:Before you go out there and start complaining or saying that it's
Speaker:broken, it doesn't work well, did you actually read the manual?
Speaker:Did you actually go through the menus and do the configuration?
Speaker:So know the tools.
Speaker:If you're gonna spend your hard earned good money on something that you see
Speaker:someone else using, and it works for them.
Speaker:Well, probably because they read the manual, they know how to use it.
Speaker:You should do the same thing.
Speaker:You should take that onus on yourself.
Speaker:Folks.
Speaker:I'm, I'm talking to everybody out here.
Speaker:I got one finger pointed at you and right.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Three pointing at me sometimes, but you gotta know what you're using and, and
Speaker:take advantage of that type of stuff.
Speaker:Um, rich put in there.
Speaker:8 22.
Speaker:So yeah, brother, be there 8 22, bring the towels and I, I do some and whistles.
Speaker:Uh, I bring up another thing right here, uh, before we go into some other
Speaker:things, but this, this is an interesting question here as well, that Gabe is asking
Speaker:and, you know, what are your opinions on live selling for content creators?
Speaker:Touch on it briefly, but I wanna go into it just a little bit later, but again,
Speaker:that that's a, just a different aspect and a different avenue that you've see
Speaker:a lot of creators going into by taking advantage of the technology and what
Speaker:we have and going out, and actually being advocates, being influencers
Speaker:for the tools and the, and the, and, uh, uh, platforms that we're using.
Speaker:So what do you think about live selling?
Speaker:You gotta have a taste for it.
Speaker:Not everybody likes selling stuff, and it's the same thing
Speaker:as you were selling in store.
Speaker:You know, if you like sales, you are gonna be very good at it.
Speaker:If you're miserable doing sales outside, I can guarantee you, you will be miserable
Speaker:doing sales in Amazon or anybody else.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:You have to like it, you have to have that, uh, certain type of
Speaker:personality that likes to sell stuff.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:I worked in foot action.
Speaker:Uh, I worked in, in sprint when I was, uh, younger, you know, I have that sales in
Speaker:me and my dad was a salesman man as well.
Speaker:So I have it in me.
Speaker:I like to talk as you can tell
Speaker:So, um, basically if you're gonna be a salesperson you need
Speaker:to learn about the product.
Speaker:You need to have that commitment to learn about what you're selling.
Speaker:You're not just gonna sell for selling.
Speaker:You just, you're just gonna tell, Hey guys, this microphone's 150 bucks.
Speaker:You like it?
Speaker:No, you're gonna know that it has a, a low filter, a high pass.
Speaker:It has a, uh, you know, the bells and whistles.
Speaker:You have to like it.
Speaker:If you don't like it, it's okay.
Speaker:You don't have to be that type of content creator.
Speaker:You give your own type of content creator.
Speaker:It's.
Speaker:It's fine.
Speaker:Not everybody is made for selling and I understand, you know, it's okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Uh, good, good point right there.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Because you know, it could almost be a bit of FOMO, right?
Speaker:If you're missing out that you, you hear a lot of folks that are, you
Speaker:know, in, in the content creation world that are trying to do all the things,
Speaker:trying to be on all the platforms to talks, to Snapchats faith everywhere.
Speaker:Because why, because that's where they hear they, they need to be, they hear
Speaker:that you need to get into life selling.
Speaker:Why?
Speaker:Because that's the next iteration of us going out there creating
Speaker:community, creating an audience and having conversations and engagement.
Speaker:If you're not comfortable doing that.
Speaker:It's going to come across very, very easy in, in two K 4k.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Shout out to how, you know, we, we screaming in, in, you know,
Speaker:60 frames a second right now.
Speaker:Come on E cam.
Speaker:Where, where you at?
Speaker:Ken and Glen guys.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:See there, there we go.
Speaker:Let me, let me stop but there, there are.
Speaker:So there's pros and cons to everything.
Speaker:I, I see that there are honestly more pros than cons to actually getting out there
Speaker:to, if you want to be that person who's looked at as a subject matter expert.
Speaker:If you want to be that technology evangelist, if you want to be the
Speaker:one who says, you know what, I've got an Amazon that live shop and
Speaker:store, this is the gear that I use.
Speaker:This SM seven B.
Speaker:Yeah, rich.
Speaker:I sold you my S Simpson seven B and I got another one.
Speaker:I, I, I have no sense, but again, I use this.
Speaker:Why, and you know what?
Speaker:I recommend this to you as well, put it out there and then talk about it.
Speaker:And, and like, uh, ELO was just saying, you have to be convincing you can't
Speaker:just get gear from a particular company.
Speaker:And act like you like it, and you haven't even taken it outta the box
Speaker:or you end up selling it on eBay or, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker:You have to be authentic.
Speaker:Let me, uh, there I'm, I'm very verbose sometimes, but you know,
Speaker:you gotta be authentic in things that you do that Matt just said
Speaker:it, you have to love what you do.
Speaker:You gotta love what you do.
Speaker:I love that.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:It's different.
Speaker:It D you don't have to jump in the bandwagon and just, you
Speaker:know, go selling Amazon live.
Speaker:Oh my God, I gotta do this.
Speaker:No, I'm not selling shirts.
Speaker:I'm not selling pants.
Speaker:I'm not selling earrings.
Speaker:If I wanna sell something, it's gonna be something that's in here
Speaker:that I have used that I love.
Speaker:love it, Matt, be because again, folks who.
Speaker:Don't know you folks that do know you can read through everything, right.
Speaker:Again, when, when you're looking straight at this camera, folks can
Speaker:read your poker face is not good.
Speaker:People just, just letting you know, don't, don't, don't try to fake the funk.
Speaker:When, when you out here, try to, uh, part have people part with
Speaker:their, their, their good money.
Speaker:Uh, let's go on.
Speaker:So we, we, we talked about the beginning stages.
Speaker:We talked about the, the thought part.
Speaker:We talked about the actual writing it down about the transcription mm-hmm
Speaker:, uh, let, let's go into now what you do kind of on the tail end of that.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So after you've actually recorded something after you've actually
Speaker:published something, you know, maybe the I'm repurposing of some content.
Speaker:Let's talk about the, the intricacies of even creating like thumbnails, the
Speaker:intricacies of creating, uh, you know, marketing graphics and things and overlays
Speaker:and things like that, tools that you use and processes that you use for that.
Speaker:If you don't mind.
Speaker:Of course, uh, marketing graphics and overlays.
Speaker:I outsource them already because it took, it was taking me so
Speaker:much time to do 'em that I just go to fiber and outsource them.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Now my overlays, that's only for my, uh, thumbnails now, my
Speaker:overlays, um, I did a package with a friend, um, from Goki content.
Speaker:We had like a little, um, movement going on and, uh, she made everything for me.
Speaker:She, her name is SI Misto.
Speaker:She's a great graphic designer.
Speaker:So she designed all of my graphics and, and she gave me all types of colors.
Speaker:So I can use that for years.
Speaker:I outsourced that now after the fact when I released everything out, um,
Speaker:the thing that I like to do is go to a Agora polls because it has a place
Speaker:where you can see all the messages that people sent, all the hearts,
Speaker:everything centralized in one place.
Speaker:And I go one by one and say, thanks for watching or response to questions.
Speaker:And that's what I like to do in the first couple of days after.
Speaker:And there's videos that been done two years ago or so, and I'm still
Speaker:answering questions today from wow.
Speaker:So I go every single day and I answer whatever I can, obviously there's
Speaker:days on the weekends, you won't see me answering anything Saturday or Sunday.
Speaker:yeah.
Speaker:That's time for my family.
Speaker:So I usually, when I'm on the way to the train, um, to work down in
Speaker:downtown DC, uh, or after I put out a video in the morning, then I take that
Speaker:time to answer the videos from, from yesterday and from before yesterday.
Speaker:So I give it at least no more than, you know, I don't let
Speaker:it fly more than 48 hours.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:At the minimum.
Speaker:So people can actually feel, you gotta feel the love, man.
Speaker:You just can't just not answer somebody.
Speaker:Two weeks or weeks, it just it's, it's counterintuitive and it
Speaker:demonstrates that you're not being human or that you're too busy.
Speaker:And if you're too busy, you should get somebody to help you out.
Speaker:So, or B answer.
Speaker:So let, let let's pause right there.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Because again, that, that's, that's a concept that I don't think
Speaker:needs to be, uh, over overlook and overshadowed if you are, if you
Speaker:don't have the priorities right.
Speaker:For content creation.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If you've got yourself ahead of your community and the content
Speaker:you're doing it all wrong, right?
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:So I really like the fact that you have a kind of set and schedule and, and, and a
Speaker:forward mindset that 24, 48 hours after I put something out there or after I get a.
Speaker:I'm reaching out there and I'm, I'm given the, you know, the, the
Speaker:thumbs up I'm given the love, or I'm responding to that commenter.
Speaker:I, I do something very similar, but again, it it's something
Speaker:that should be not assumed.
Speaker:And, and I'm glad that we're talking about it because again, that's
Speaker:what we're doing is for listen.
Speaker:We, we can sit here and make videos all day.
Speaker:Every single day, doesn't resonate with anyone or just resonates with ourself.
Speaker:Just ha have the channel enlisted , but you're trying to grow an audience,
Speaker:grow a community and actually reach people and touch people.
Speaker:that's what you gotta do.
Speaker:You, you gotta stay in communication with them.
Speaker:So I, I really like that.
Speaker:And I appreciate you saying that, uh, yeah.
Speaker:Part of the system too.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's, that's part of the system after there's, um, stuff that I do after
Speaker:uploading, it's not just uploading and, you know, keep on running there's
Speaker:uploading checking messages, um, you know, analytics check, uh, in what parts of
Speaker:that video, uh, you got a better response.
Speaker:If you were doing tech, which tech works more for the next time that you're gonna,
Speaker:for example, the Amazon live, that's the first product I'm gonna start with.
Speaker:So, you know, there's a lot of thinking to it, but once you have that system
Speaker:in there and you, you know, you promise yourself and you do the work because
Speaker:this is not, it's gonna be automated and you're not gonna do anything.
Speaker:No, you're gonna bust your butt doing a lot of things.
Speaker:And that's totally normal for me because I am, and then you're
Speaker:gonna follow a thousand times.
Speaker:Like I was certainly earlier.
Speaker:I'm accustomed to failure.
Speaker:I'm used to failing.
Speaker:Yeah, man.
Speaker:So, okay.
Speaker:Hold on.
Speaker:I'm so we, we talked about that behind the scenes and, and I, I wanna dive into that
Speaker:before I go into this next topic, because I mean that, those are typically the
Speaker:types of conversations that I have on this channel with, with my community, right?
Speaker:We, we get into social impact of, of things we get into mental health.
Speaker:We get into the why somebody hits know, we haven't talked much
Speaker:about a lot of gear right now.
Speaker:We're talking about what drives you in terms of what you do, right?
Speaker:Your, your drive to do what it is that you do.
Speaker:Now.
Speaker:You just made an interesting statement right there.
Speaker:You're accustomed to failing.
Speaker:And if you, you know, you know, mind kind of going into that
Speaker:just a little bit, of course.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, when you grow up, you're always, uh, tripping, falling, doing a, a
Speaker:bunch of things that are not gonna go.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So in my mindset, then I thank my parents for this.
Speaker:Obviously my mom, my dad.
Speaker:They showed me that everything's not gonna be perfect.
Speaker:That what you need to be worrying about is how to get up and keep on moving.
Speaker:So for me, I know I'm gonna fail.
Speaker:I know I'm not perfect.
Speaker:So I prepare for that.
Speaker:My mindset is already, you know, thinking, all right, I'm gonna do this, but I know
Speaker:it's not gonna be the first iterations.
Speaker:It's gonna be five, six iterations before I can get it.
Speaker:But while I do that, those iterations or repetitions, I'm gonna improve it.
Speaker:And when I come through it, it's gonna be amazing.
Speaker:Whatever I, I stand up like for my doctor's degree, that was probably the
Speaker:hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
Speaker:I finished my doctor's degrees in three years and a half
Speaker:people take five, six years.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:I was taking double the classes, but I was dedicated and I even lost hair, man.
Speaker:This, this was really hard to do.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But I knew that somehow I was gonna fail in some classes, which
Speaker:I did fail in one class because I was doing the research incorrectly
Speaker:for not listening for being human.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So I shifted, I shifted, I have a, I always have a buddy with me.
Speaker:That's, you know, we reflect on each other what you're doing
Speaker:wrong, what am I doing wrong?
Speaker:Um, I'm a good friend.
Speaker:The Lester you happen to move 10 minutes away.
Speaker:So I love it.
Speaker:pretty cool.
Speaker:Yeah, man.
Speaker:So I always, always, always listen to feedback from somebody else when
Speaker:I'm doing stuff, because I know that I'm doing something wrong.
Speaker:I know that I will always do something wrong.
Speaker:That's it's not a matter of how it's a matter of when and that's okay.
Speaker:You can accept it.
Speaker:Why not accept that you are gonna make mistakes and just keep on moving.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Strong.
Speaker:Uh, I build myself stronger from those mistakes than anything else.
Speaker:I'm accustomed to failure.
Speaker:Bring it on.
Speaker:That's.
Speaker:Uh, that's profound.
Speaker:And, and let me, let me ask you this, uh, is, is that necessarily,
Speaker:and, and it may be both.
Speaker:Is that necessarily your, your upbringing?
Speaker:You, you mentioned your mom shouts out to, to mom being in the chats,
Speaker:hearing the comment, or is that also a product of your, your military service?
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Because again, being in the military, right?
Speaker:You, you get.
Speaker:You get, uh, a different mindset in terms of how you go about your day
Speaker:and, and, and the actions and, and the people that you engage with.
Speaker:So is, it is a little bit of both or, or what it's, it's both.
Speaker:I started with family.
Speaker:Um, even my wife is a big part of, of, of maintaining myself straight.
Speaker:Uh, my father-in-law my mother, you know, everybody around me.
Speaker:I listen, even though I'll, you know, I'm a knucklehead, I don't listen.
Speaker:Yeah, I do.
Speaker:I do listen.
Speaker:But when I got to the military, everything got perfection.
Speaker:Like everything got tweaked the right way.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And whatever, the upbringing that I got, it got perfection in the
Speaker:military, and this is the way, this is why I am the way I am today.
Speaker:I'm not perfect.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:By no means.
Speaker:But if you need something done, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker:I'm gonna do it my way.
Speaker:I'm gonna make a hundred mistakes, but I'm gonna get it done.
Speaker:Do you allow yourself to have room?
Speaker:Do, do you give yourself grace for.
Speaker:Some, some of the failures for some of the mistakes, some of the challenges
Speaker:that whatever the task may have, right?
Speaker:Uh, in terms of you want to get it done in, in five hours, but it's wrecking
Speaker:your brain and it's only, and it's gonna take you 10 hours to do it.
Speaker:Do you give yourself the grace to say, you know what, I, I, it's gonna take
Speaker:me longer to get this done, but when I get it done, man, it's gonna be right.
Speaker:Plan for the double triple I'm put that.
Speaker:I'm gonna put that on t-shirt.
Speaker:What, where did Nixons that shots out depressing.
Speaker:So we're gonna put that on the shirt plan for the double waiting for the triple.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Always happens.
Speaker:I, I always allow myself more time.
Speaker:You get a big kind to yourself.
Speaker:That's one of the things that con creators don't, don't look at.
Speaker:You have to be kind to yourself.
Speaker:If you have heart for others and you have leniency and you have empathy for
Speaker:others, you need to have that for you.
Speaker:For you for yourself, if you're gonna take, uh, let's say we're gonna do a
Speaker:class and this class has 24 hours, right?
Speaker:Mm-hmm 24 hours.
Speaker:You're gonna do six, six, and six.
Speaker:There's nothing wrong with doing it in 30 hours unless, you know, you're, you're
Speaker:throwing it away, but there's nothing wrong with doing it in 30, 36 hours.
Speaker:You're doing it, you're doing it your own way.
Speaker:It's your way doing things there, there shouldn't be, uh, any critique of
Speaker:how you do things, uh, just to get it done and give yourself a little bit of
Speaker:mental space to, you know, to forgive yourself when you're doing it the right
Speaker:way and or not doing it in, in, in, in the 24 hours that you wanted to do it.
Speaker:There's intention, there's purpose and there's reality.
Speaker:So I, I live in reality.
Speaker:Come on.
Speaker:Now somebody hope wrote that down.
Speaker:I may have, y'all put that in, in, come up with a hashtag.
Speaker:So, so again, It always seems to work out.
Speaker:I, I, I have the thoughts and I, I, I have the bullet points of
Speaker:what I wanna talk about and it, it seems Karma's a good thing.
Speaker:It comes back to the, the subject matter and making it relevant to
Speaker:what we were talking about today.
Speaker:So everything that you just mentioned right.
Speaker:Of, of staying locked in, staying focused, you know, that that's a huge, um,
Speaker:mission of mine staying focused on you.
Speaker:You know, I've got that merchandise as well.
Speaker:And that, that statement, well, I got, come on now.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:I see brother, appreciate you for that.
Speaker:Giving yourself that grace to take a little bit longer to have
Speaker:the errors, have the issues.
Speaker:But one thing that I really like that you mentioned as you were
Speaker:talking is you have the support.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You know, you can't do it alone, right?
Speaker:You, you, you, you've got your folks that are around you.
Speaker:You you've got your, your, your tight knits of, of, of whomever, you know,
Speaker:when it's time to reach out to a coach, you know, when it's time to outsource
Speaker:certain, um, functions of your business.
Speaker:So you can step back and be strategic and you can be more creative and, and
Speaker:more, um, valuable to, to your efforts.
Speaker:You, you know, you can't do it all.
Speaker:You may wanna do it all when you start off, you can do it all.
Speaker:But you know, as you're growing, you you've come to that realization.
Speaker:And you know that, man, I, I just can't do all these graphics.
Speaker:I can't do all these, uh, comes from mistakes.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That's those are learnings from mistakes that I had.
Speaker:I can't do this.
Speaker:I'm failing.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I, you know, I humble myself down.
Speaker:It's like, what am I doing?
Speaker:All this stuff.
Speaker:And then I called Diana . Yeah.
Speaker:And then I called, and then I called, you know, and I got
Speaker:my support system in place.
Speaker:And ever since.
Speaker:Man it's been a world of difference.
Speaker:Been killing.
Speaker:Well, you, you definitely got some moderators in place that know what
Speaker:they doing, cuz cuz shouts out to, to Nightbot over here dropping all
Speaker:the links in the chat, you know?
Speaker:And uh, you know, he's talking about the, the, buy me a coffee I'm I'm gonna
Speaker:put 'em all in, in the description.
Speaker:Don't trip.
Speaker:I'm not ignoring you, but he he's got all.
Speaker:I know he, he or she, but your moderator has all the, you
Speaker:know, the, the links in place.
Speaker:He's got your Facebook.
Speaker:Come on now.
Speaker:Come on.
Speaker:Where my moderators at, man, I need to get somebody else to wrench.
Speaker:I got lover just there waiting for somebody to get dump.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:See you see hilarious.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:Folks, if you got any questions for, for Dr.
Speaker:ELO, put a cue in there so I can bubble 'em up to the top, but listen, as you see,
Speaker:we're we're talking about best practices, strategies, content creation ecosystem.
Speaker:Doing it the right way and doing it.
Speaker:So you yourself don't get burnt out, right.
Speaker:And make making sure that you are still, you're still having fun by doing this.
Speaker:This is a, this is an amazing time of what we're doing right now of creating content,
Speaker:reach, reaching out to communities and sharing knowledge, sharing experiences.
Speaker:But we can do this for a long period of time without getting burnt out.
Speaker:If you put systems in place, if you put processes in place and you put people
Speaker:around you, um, let me, let me ask this.
Speaker:Let me ask this.
Speaker:Um, you talked about.
Speaker:Using using tools to do repurpose content.
Speaker:You talked about using tools to what, what, what happens
Speaker:for you after that workflow?
Speaker:Right after the content has already been out there it's, it's marinated
Speaker:for a week or a month, two months or three quarter, whatever the case may be.
Speaker:Do you go back and maybe look at something like a, a VI IQ or two buddy or something
Speaker:say these videos or this, this bit of content is performing a certain way.
Speaker:Maybe I should change that thumbnail.
Speaker:Maybe I should change that description or that title.
Speaker:Do, do you use any tools like that to go back after the fact and, and do some
Speaker:kinda leveling up just kind of curious.
Speaker:Yeah, I use VDA Q um, usually that's, that's the better one, in my
Speaker:opinion, it gives you, uh, more data.
Speaker:Um, and I go back and remake thumbnails and put 'em back on
Speaker:videos that spend two years long, but videos that are doing very well.
Speaker:And I like to test them out and change colors, change the, the
Speaker:thumbnail, which whatever, with a different face with the emoji.
Speaker:Um, so I do that, um, but on the most successful videos and I watch
Speaker:that, or I'll do a 20, 22 version of that video and it will do as amazing
Speaker:as before and I'll address all the questions that they had before.
Speaker:So like, uh, for the, my caster, that's a piece of equipment.
Speaker:I'm preparing another one.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Which all the questions they had before and with the new update,
Speaker:I should have that one in the bank in the next couple weeks.
Speaker:So, but I'm going through every questions and that thing has
Speaker:like 300 comments in there.
Speaker:wow.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You, you had that and you, you actually convinced me to reach out to him.
Speaker:I, I had it for a minute.
Speaker:Uh, I gave, I, I gave it to my co-host on one of my other shows.
Speaker:Uh, and he use using that now he's got the, the microphone
Speaker:and the, uh, my caster as well.
Speaker:So yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker:Little, little piece of, uh, text
Speaker:So, uh, that's look, look at night by check out my website
Speaker:and get on my mailing list.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I'm let me just throw some of these up there.
Speaker:Cause I already got it.
Speaker:This, this, this right here, man.
Speaker:What part of this night, Bo, what, what's your buy me a coffee.
Speaker:We, we, I need to throw you a couple of couple lattes, right?
Speaker:though, man.
Speaker:Dr.
Speaker:ELO, that's it?
Speaker:No night Bo.
Speaker:Oh, yeah, no, I, we not worried about you right now.
Speaker:I I'm, I'm talking about this, this moderator in charge right here.
Speaker:Night over here is killing.
Speaker:It's free, man.
Speaker:over here killing the game.
Speaker:I love, um, listen, you use multiple platforms.
Speaker:You use multiple tools.
Speaker:This is another question that I wanted to ask, and I'm not gonna ask you what
Speaker:your favorite is, and we're not gonna talk necessarily about tech, so to
Speaker:speak, but again, talk about platforms.
Speaker:What's my favorite is, is be live.
Speaker:I, you know, consultants, that's it.
Speaker:the integrations that they have though.
Speaker:So I, I want to talk about, about that because we, we touched on and this is part
Speaker:of the questions I was gonna ask earlier.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:When you stream, when you go live the multi streaming capability and
Speaker:functionality, do you always go to.
Speaker:YouTube Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for every bit of content, or do you kind
Speaker:of have a mindset to kind of have a, a set in stone of saying this particular
Speaker:bit of content goes to Twitch only this one only goes to Twitter only that,
Speaker:that kind of thing, or do you, when you press multicast, multistream you go to
Speaker:all of your platforms that you have?
Speaker:The only platforms that I do go live on is Facebook, YouTube,
Speaker:and LinkedIn those three.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Now I'll go and do posts and everything else.
Speaker:Uh, and I include Instagram and Twitter on those five platforms.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So, um, for Lives's strictly, and I'm thinking lives in regards to
Speaker:LinkedIn, I do everything like if it was going to LinkedIn, because that's
Speaker:the platform that I'm hitting really hard right now, even though YouTube
Speaker:is my main platform, but I'm growing like crazy and, and, and LinkedIn.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:That's the one that I'm focusing on and it works across the board.
Speaker:So I have the, um, you know, that's why I'm dressing a little bit more.
Speaker:Um, I'm more no wearing the hat I, I should have, I should have put
Speaker:though I should have put like a sports co I should shaved a friend.
Speaker:No, I didn't shave.
Speaker:No worries.
Speaker:So that's a friend of mine that actually put me to this, uh,
Speaker:and he was dressing all nice.
Speaker:And, and LinkedIn, I was like, you know what?
Speaker:I probably should doing the same because people that are watching this on LinkedIn
Speaker:they're, you know, decision makers.
Speaker:So, and the rest, you know, and, and YouTube and, and Facebook, they won't
Speaker:mind if I wear a shirt like this.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So let's do it.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So I've made some little tweaks around it, even though I would love to wear
Speaker:my merch so I can, you know, I can sell it and everything, but I think
Speaker:that's more important than, than just selling tour to the t-shirts.
Speaker:Let's put it that way, so, okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I'm we gonna talk a little bit about them t-shirts in a minute, but so I.
Speaker:also.
Speaker:And the reason I asked that specific question was kind of a selfish
Speaker:question because I choose which particular type of content goes where?
Speaker:So on Tuesday I do show called team no sleep.
Speaker:And it's the social impact of sport.
Speaker:I don't, I don't shoot that to, to LinkedIn because again, that's a, it's
Speaker:a whole different audience, right?
Speaker:I get, but something like this, the digital collective, something
Speaker:like perspectives and focus.
Speaker:Those all will go to LinkedIn as well.
Speaker:But I don't live stream to LinkedIn.
Speaker:I am using that platform.
Speaker:I'm using that platform as a, as a fear of missing out.
Speaker:You don't come to the YouTube, you get it 12 hours later, but you got a bunch
Speaker:of followers and, and, and LinkedIn.
Speaker:So on LinkedIn, I also don't go to my personal profile.
Speaker:I go to my organizational page.
Speaker:Oh, right.
Speaker:So I, I was, I was, I've been blessed enough to get to the point
Speaker:to where I have an org page to where I can actually go live there.
Speaker:So I've got creator mode turned on and instead of going to my profile
Speaker:and the reason I don't go to my profile is because it pings everybody.
Speaker:And I, I don't, like, I wish there was a way of turning that off on my side.
Speaker:I don't, I don't necessarily like everyone getting the notification
Speaker:by default that, Hey, James is live.
Speaker:Uh, I, I would rather make the event.
Speaker:You see the event, you RSVP to the event as opposed to a ping.
Speaker:So that thats just me, right?
Speaker:That that's just me.
Speaker:And on, on the org chart on, on the org side, I, I have seen where it doesn't
Speaker:necessarily go out and ping everyone because cuz you're live so well.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That's so this session will be on my LinkedIn org page in 12 hours.
Speaker:Oh, so you're turning them into videos.
Speaker:Yeah, man.
Speaker:And because, so are you streaming them?
Speaker:Um, there I are.
Speaker:You streaming the video there because it's too long for 10
Speaker:minutes and it passes surpasses.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:So I'll, I'll pull this down, right?
Speaker:It it's, I'm I'm going in 4k right now.
Speaker:I'll pull it down and I'll, I'll down code it to 10 80, 30, and then push
Speaker:it out as a, uh, pre-recorded session.
Speaker:I'll I'll obviously, uh, document in a description that it's been
Speaker:pre-recorded and push it out.
Speaker:It's it's very, yeah.
Speaker:It's, it's that, it's that fear missing out.
Speaker:If you come to the YouTube live, Dr.
Speaker:ELO may be giving out free shirts or he's giving out, you never know
Speaker:you may have a discount code for, uh, Gora post that kind thing.
Speaker:Uh, so that, that's my mentality.
Speaker:He's working pretty good.
Speaker:So far.
Speaker:It's its actually worked out, um, Let me, let me bring up these shirts though, man.
Speaker:Come on.
Speaker:Let's listen.
Speaker:I need to get some of this.
Speaker:Look, Lord, have mercy.
Speaker:Ooh, embrace creativity.
Speaker:Ah, that's what I go create content today right now.
Speaker:Mm-hmm brother.
Speaker:That's it, man.
Speaker:Hi and braid F
Speaker:sorry, mama.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:Mama.
Speaker:mama.
Speaker:Mama knows.
Speaker:My mama knows I, no, man, you got, you got some hot stuff out there.
Speaker:I'm got look the free exclusive shirt with the purchase.
Speaker:All right, I'm gonna go ahead and order some where, where I know I got a
Speaker:credit or something with, with press.
Speaker:And so, so I don't know if the Nixons are watching.
Speaker:I'm gonna add this to the cart.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:Two more things that I wanted to touch on.
Speaker:And again, thanks again for everyone that this reaching out and the comments
Speaker:and, and putting some information down and it's, it's kind of around this
Speaker:piece and we, we haven't talked about.
Speaker:We've talked about creating content.
Speaker:We've talked about some of the tools and the workflows and things of that nature.
Speaker:We haven't talked about this side piece of this part of monetization, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Because, uh, listen, monetization is real and you, we, we can do this for fun.
Speaker:All we want to, uh, we, we can enjoy what we do by just ha having great
Speaker:conversations with, with great, amazing, and interesting people, but,
Speaker:and not nothing wrong with getting compensated for the work that you
Speaker:do if you're putting in good work.
Speaker:And if someone actually recognizes it.
Speaker:So talk to me a little bit about your thoughts about the overall monetization
Speaker:piece of being a content creator.
Speaker:Forget about the YouTube program, man, say that, say, say it one more time
Speaker:for the people in the back of the room.
Speaker:Say it one more time.
Speaker:YouTube partner program, just, you know, that's a good goal to attain
Speaker:mm-hmm but just have it on side.
Speaker:Forget about that.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You can monetize anything outside right now.
Speaker:Um, I'm a consultant.
Speaker:I do, uh, one on one coaching.
Speaker:I do, uh, be live shows.
Speaker:So I, I get paid for four shows a month.
Speaker:Not gonna say how much , um, I get paid for overlays that I do.
Speaker:I get paid, uh, for there's so many things you can do.
Speaker:So, and I'm not an artist, you know, by no means I, I, I will be a disrespect
Speaker:to say that I'm a, I'm a artist, but I've done a package of overlays for
Speaker:people and getting 75 bucks for it.
Speaker:You know?
Speaker:Um, you do buy me a coffee.
Speaker:You do.
Speaker:Uh, they can't even donate to your PayPal, you know, the super chats.
Speaker:They're 50 50 go and get me a coffee better.
Speaker:You know, I'll get my money's worth a lot there.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, you do reviews, you charge for the reviews that you do, like tech reviews.
Speaker:Um, you make interchanges with companies.
Speaker:There's, there's so much stuff you can do outside of just the
Speaker:YPP program or not the YP program.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And, um, there's other stuff now there's Amazon live.
Speaker:You wanna sell man?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Amazon live is, is the truth.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I do a lot of affiliate money as well on the side because I, you know, I have
Speaker:a list of a org, a organized list of everything that I have in the studio.
Speaker:It's organized.
Speaker:You click it, you go there, you get a percentage.
Speaker:By the time you end a month, you get 70 or 80 bucks a month.
Speaker:That's another source of income.
Speaker:So it's multiple streams of income and that's it.
Speaker:That's all you have to do, do a bunch of stuff at the same time, but Don
Speaker:concentrate on just waiting for you to, to pay you some money or tech.
Speaker:Talk for paying you in the tech talk program, you know, just get out,
Speaker:get out there, you know, reach, uh, um, meet some people don't accept
Speaker:anything, uh, from a company that tells you to buy it with your own money.
Speaker:That's one thing.
Speaker:That's one thing I learned.
Speaker:Oh yeah.
Speaker:We're gonna pass you the money through PayPal.
Speaker:You're gonna, oh, I got you.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Don't don't do that.
Speaker:Have, have I have ethics in place for ethics statement for that?
Speaker:Um, there's a lot of companies that are gonna come in and gonna start asking
Speaker:you, if you want to get, uh, subscribers, you're gonna get this, just stay away from
Speaker:all of that concentrated making money.
Speaker:You have something that nobody else knows how to say it.
Speaker:You know, the let's put it this way.
Speaker:You have, uh, a gift that nobody else can deliver.
Speaker:Like you deliver.
Speaker:So make a business out of it.
Speaker:You know, if you wanna do, um, Nestle lover for her for,
Speaker:for example, she's a painter.
Speaker:Nobody else in the world can paint like she does.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:She just said, she'll paint your logo for you or, you know, so yeah.
Speaker:So, you know, it's, it's take your trade and put it out there.
Speaker:People will eventually, if you are sincere and authentic and
Speaker:you know, your stuff, people will come, people will come be live.
Speaker:They found me, I didn't wanna knock it on their door.
Speaker:They knocked the mine.
Speaker:Hey, I would like you to do, uh, live streams for us.
Speaker:How, what do you think?
Speaker:I was like, yeah, I'll do it for free for a year after the year, then I knocked.
Speaker:Hey, um, I think it's time.
Speaker:So yeah.
Speaker:And it works out.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It worked out for everybody.
Speaker:There's more, you saw the catalog of, uh, of, of content that you put out put
Speaker:out and you were probably able to name it a, a decent, decent, uh, decent rate.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I I'm glad you said all of that, because really that, that's where
Speaker:I, I wanted to go with this kind of wrapping the, the bow around this
Speaker:package here of content creation and the evolution and the journey.
Speaker:Um, Listen, the YouTube partner program is, is, is nice.
Speaker:It, it really is right.
Speaker:It, it, it's great to be part of the program.
Speaker:It it's great to was that brother for Mr.
Speaker:B is nicer for us.
Speaker:It's just, okay.
Speaker:Well, so again, it all depends on what you, what, what your, your goal is?
Speaker:It all depends.
Speaker:I, I will not do prank videos, like, like he does.
Speaker:I, I, I have no desire to make the exact same type of content that he
Speaker:has on the, on the 21st of the month when them Google checks come in.
Speaker:And that's the day that they come in, folks on the part, the program, um,
Speaker:my, my initial goal was for I'm, I'm gonna put it out there in these streets.
Speaker:My initial goal was for it to pay a bill, right?
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:That's what it's doing right now.
Speaker:It's pay, it's paying, paying a couple, couple bills, but that was my initial goal
Speaker:for getting into YouTube partner program.
Speaker:My, my long term, not my plan, but the, but the goal, cuz I, I call plans, which
Speaker:you write 'em down and to become goals as, as you actually, uh, worked towards.
Speaker:Is to continue to provide critical, timely, relevant
Speaker:content that, that resonates with the audience and my community.
Speaker:So as long as I'm continuing to do that, and if someone wants to send
Speaker:me a nickel here or nickel there from, from Google, from YouTube,
Speaker:whatever the case may be, that's fine.
Speaker:But you'll, you'll see a lot of these creators who are monetized, aren't
Speaker:just singularly focused on YouTube.
Speaker:Like ELO was saying they got merch, they do digital downloads, they do consulting.
Speaker:They do, um, all these other things around the, uh, the YouTube partner program.
Speaker:So to buy me a coffee is to Patreons things of that nature.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Take advantage of that.
Speaker:If you are an expert in something, if you know how to draw.
Speaker:N's lever there.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Go out there and, and sell those and position those services to
Speaker:someone and actually turn that into a part of your business as well.
Speaker:Turn that into part of your part.
Speaker:Listen, here we go again.
Speaker:We got, we got superstars coming.
Speaker:Boy.
Speaker:ELO brings all the, all the rock stars up in here.
Speaker:Come on now, saves the day over there doing what's she doing?
Speaker:Is the TikTok videos.
Speaker:Are she doing, man?
Speaker:I, I, I can't understand everywhere.
Speaker:She's I don't understand it, man.
Speaker:Uh, thank you for joining us, but, but that's, that's the
Speaker:point that I wanted to make.
Speaker:And I'm glad that you talked about that, right?
Speaker:Don't just be locked in on getting a play button and, and
Speaker:mounting that on your wall.
Speaker:If, if that's, what, if that's what your goal is?
Speaker:You, you, again, you're in this for the wrong, wrong reasons and, and that is
Speaker:going to be unfortunately, a hard fall that you're going to end up making.
Speaker:If you are in this to deliver quality content to a community
Speaker:that you're trying to build and you wanna stay true to yourself.
Speaker:I like the fact that you mentioned the statement of the, the statement of an
Speaker:ethical statement as well, when you're dealing with brands and when you're
Speaker:dealing with OEMs and manufacturers and things of that, don't just take stuff
Speaker:because they're willing to give it right.
Speaker:If, if it doesn't resonate with you, if it doesn't resonate with your
Speaker:audience, it Def doesn't resonate with your morals and your ethics.
Speaker:Why are you gonna get the product?
Speaker:Why are you gonna talk about it?
Speaker:Why are you gonna try to sell it to someone?
Speaker:Come, come on now, come on.
Speaker:Let's let's be become sensical about this.
Speaker:I got somebody asking me, um, if I wanted, you know, high lashes,
Speaker:come on now, get you some, what.
Speaker:I can, I can wear 'em here if you want.
Speaker:That'll be really nice.
Speaker:How pretty, but no.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Go get him.
Speaker:I'm I'm gonna put you full screen.
Speaker:Go get him.
Speaker:No but, but yeah, it's, I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker:I'm gonna do something that makes sense for my business
Speaker:and makes sense for what I do.
Speaker:I'm not, yeah.
Speaker:Even I've I've told two microphone companies.
Speaker:No, um, this past couple of, of, of weeks, because they
Speaker:want me to do things their way.
Speaker:I'm like, no, if I'm gonna do a review, I'm gonna do an unbiased review.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:With my opinion.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If it's bad, I'm gonna let you know that I'm gonna put out
Speaker:content that it says it's bad.
Speaker:Do you want me to put that out there?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Solely, no, straight up there.
Speaker:There, there it is right there, man.
Speaker:I mean, I, again, it, it sounds easy.
Speaker:It, it, it really does.
Speaker:It sounds easy, but it can be difficult to.
Speaker:Stand up for yourself, especially when you got these large organizations reaching
Speaker:out to you and you know, they're waving that carrot in front of you look ELO.
Speaker:You wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna blow up on YouTube,
Speaker:you wanna do these things here.
Speaker:I am offering you this opportunity, but you know, you gotta do this
Speaker:to, to be part of the crew.
Speaker:No, you don't.
Speaker:So stand your ground folks.
Speaker:I think what we're trying to say and kind of wrap this up
Speaker:again, is that stand your ground.
Speaker:Be true to yourself, continue to build and create, generate content
Speaker:that resonates with your community.
Speaker:That you're proud of.
Speaker:That like El bomb is in the chats.
Speaker:My dad's in the chats too, right?
Speaker:I mean, we wanna make sure that we say things that we can actually
Speaker:be proud of as, as a product of, uh, what we've produced.
Speaker:I, I wanna be able to look back 3, 4, 5 years from now
Speaker:and say, this was pretty cool.
Speaker:That was me back.

Speaker:I can't wait.
Speaker:You know, I'm, I'm done with you.
Speaker:Stream is over.
Speaker:Let me go ahead.
Speaker:Just play the closing credits.
Speaker:Um, you get more of what you interact with.
Speaker:Oh my, is that I don't know.
Speaker:I see.
Speaker:I'm just, I'm pushing buttons.
Speaker:I look, I just playing an expert on the internet, you know, by, by day seven to
Speaker:four, I, I know what I'm doing, but you know, a after that, I, I don't know what's
Speaker:going on, but I better be quiet before I I'll put myself in, in the hole here.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:I love, listen, I let's let's let's wrap this up.
Speaker:I wanna be cognizant of your time brother.
Speaker:Cause I know you on the east coast, um, this, this has been amazing, right?
Speaker:Because as, as you noticed, I really wanted to focus the conversation
Speaker:on not just talking about gear, not just necessarily always
Speaker:talking about cameras, lights, um, infrastructure within the studio.
Speaker:That's important too.
Speaker:And we can have another conversation about that, but you, we, we
Speaker:got into some things about.
Speaker:A day in the life of a content creator out here, really doing it in these streets and
Speaker:the tools that you really use out there to push out your content to all the different
Speaker:types of social media, PA uh, platforms, uh, the work that goes on behind it.
Speaker:And then the fact that, that you wrapped advice talking
Speaker:about the monetization piece.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Don't get locked into that folks.
Speaker:Don't, don't get locked into one stream of, of, of income for
Speaker:your content creation journey.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Really sit back and think about if you're trying to do this just as a side hustle.
Speaker:If you're just trying to do this for fun.
Speaker:If you're trying to do this as a business, Put that business hat on,
Speaker:put that business mind on and have multiple streams of income actually
Speaker:reach out and, and do it the right way as opposed to being haphazard.
