This Is What I'd Do If I Wanted To Start Livestreaming
Manage episode 481200034 series 3658592
After 30 days of livestreaming every single day, I’ve got a few things to say about video confidence, consistency, and doing things before you’re ready. I didn’t start this challenge with a plan to beat video anxiety, start a podcast, or build a mountain of repurposable content. But that’s what happened.
In this episode, I’m sharing the messy truth about what it really takes to show up on camera when you're not feeling confident, when the tech fails, and when you’d honestly rather hide under a doona. Spoiler alert: your audience does not care if your lighting is dodgy or you cough mid-sentence. What they care about is that you’re showing up.
I talk through how I prepped content without over-prepping, what gear I actually use (and what you don’t need), and how livestreaming gave me my spark back after a rough start to the year.
There’s also a bunch in here about the power of repurposing and why going live with zero people watching might be the best thing that ever happens to you.
If you’ve ever wanted to make video, livestreams, or any kind of content more consistently but felt stuck, nervous, or like you had to wait until you had it all figured out, this one’s for you.
In this episode:
- Why I committed to 30 days of livestreams (and how I stuck to it)
- How I prep my content using ChatGPT without sounding robotic
- What I’ve learned about video confidence by actually doing it
- The gear I use (including what I didn’t need at all)
- The truth about tech meltdowns, coughing fits, and camera nerves
- How I launched a podcast without planning to
- Why livestreaming with no one watching can still grow your business
- My favourite mindset shifts, rituals, and repurposing tips
