If you\u2019re around any of the internet marketing forums, you\u2019ll see that there\u2019s a ton of people talking about Facebook Live, and how to use it to make a fortune online.<\/p>\n
Hell, I\u2019m surprised some gooroo hasn\u2019t launched a product yet showing you how to do it. Maybe it\u2019s because they\u2019re struggling to come up with enough content to charge $1997.<\/p>\n
Personally, I think it\u2019s a complete waste of time.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve seen a few people, and well known ones at that, doing Facebook Live videos. How many viewers do you think they had watching? 10,000, 5,000, 1,000?<\/p>\n
Nope.<\/p>\n
They were lucky if they had a few hundred, and most had less than one hundred.<\/p>\n
Which means they\u2019re spending their time making live videos, which is waaaay harder than pre-recorded, to talk to less than a hundred people and not even be able to offer them a buy button for one of their products.<\/p>\n
One word\u2026 insanity.<\/p>\n
Why are they doing it? Because they feel they should. It\u2019s the new thing.<\/p>\n
Screw that.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve seen folk being told to start doing live videos regularly to build their audience, even if their Facebook following is small.<\/p>\n
If you want to sit infront of your camera for half an hour, talking to nobody, then go ahead and do it. Me, and the Business Ignition folk, won\u2019t be wasting our time on it. We\u2019ll be implementing the stuff that works, that makes us money.<\/p>\n
I happened, by chance, to see Ricky Gervais do a Facebook Live video. He has 4,177,829 Likes on his page.<\/p>\n
How many people were watching live? Less than a thousand.<\/p>\n
If someone with over four million Likes can\u2019t even get a thousand people to watch his video live, which makes sense as you\u2019re relying on people who are online and able to watch at the time you start, then it\u2019s seriously not worth wasting your time.<\/p>\n
Instead, you should be focusing on a strategy that\u2019s designed to generate you a revenue as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
Like this one.<\/p>\n
