This week's episode is a little different from the show's usual format but it does give you a sneak peek into how I was getting ready to gear up for the Rise of the Youpreneur launch.This episode actually started out as a casual and candid conversation between myself and live video expert Luria Petrucci over Zoom to talk about live video launches, but the call quickly turned into a full-blown masterclass on how to launch via video on Facebook that I couldn't resist turning into a podcast episode.So strap in as Luria and I talk about the ins and outs of launching with live video, becoming consistent with it without having a regular set schedule and how "life streams" can help. We also talk about some useful gimmicks you can use during the actual live video of the launch plus the power of bots and what they can do for you.This chat with Luria was such an eye-opening one, which is why it ended up becoming a podcast episode instead so get those pens and notepads ready!Essential Learning Points From This Episode:Why more authors lately aren't too worried about making the New York Times Bestseller list.What are the four levels of live streaming.How long your live videos should take when promoting your launch.How to get your audience's interest peak during the pre-show of your live video.Much, much more!Important Links & Mentions From This Episode:Luria Petrucci's websiteLuria Petrucci on TwitterLive Video for LaunchesGabby BernsteinWirecastZoomLewis HowesSchool of GreatnessRise of the Youpreneur Personal Branding RoadmapSign-up for the FREE Youpreneur Launchpad Training CourseJoin the Youpreneur Community and Build Your Business FAST!Thank You for Tuning In!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose mine, and I’m grateful for that.
