Live Stream With Facebook! Make Money 1000$ !
Dear fans and readers,
Due to a massive amount of workload, I was off Wealthy Affiliate the last 2 days, this weekend I will catch up and answer all your replies you left on my blog posts. Thank you so much for all your support you have been giving me!
Todays topic:
Why You Should Live Stream With Facebook!
Many of you might think Youtube is the way to go to get your videos out there. Well they have the biggest audience on the planet, but how about live streaming? If you have already many followers, nothing speaks against it to continue in doing so if you get enough revenues that pays for the cost you will have with Youtube.
Youtube is mainly a platform for watching videos, yes you can chat with your audience too, but Youtube offers no socializing components, a big miss, socializing makes it so valuable for any Affiliate Marketer!
Youtube Costs of Streaming Live to expensive?
Youtube charges you 49$ a month, now that might sound a lot, it is, for anyone who likes to start with streaming there. Besides, Youtube can be compared as a huge TV station with 1000s of channels and if people search for a specific topic, you probably will go under in the massive of other channels offering similar content. So unless you are unique, you might want to look for alternatives.
Socialize With Facebook!
The key to your success lays in Facebook! Why? Because Facebook is a platform, where you socialize with your followers, your fans and in this way build a trust relationship. Make sure you do not over-advertise your followers, because that is a downturner.
Ask yourself the question: would you follow a channel to socialize if the only thing you see is advertisement?
Live Stream in Facebook is Free!
Yes, you read it right, live streaming in Facebook is free, and it offers you the perfect way to socialize with your fans and followers. They will be able to see you as a real person, people love that. You can live stream up to 4 hours.
You can entertain them and help them with reviews, talk about things you like, help them with questions, and in this way lead them to your website, give special offers in the stream only, let them chat with you. In this way you will attract far more conversions as Youtube!
In addition, you can even select your audience and do a special for your special fans, you could even monetize on that, people could sign up through your website to book a place in this very special live stream of yours.
New Oppertunities! Socialize Your Content!
If you live stream, put social content in there, no one wants to see an advertisment video, they want to experience you, as a real person, a person who is interested in his audience, to help them out and to listen to what they need. They will be your biggest fans and come back once they are satisfied and follow you like a regular TV series.
How Does Facebook Handle Your Live Stream?
Your live stream can be discovered in your News Feed, on your live page and after broadcasting anywhere else where videos can appear. If someone is interested in your live stream and wants to get notified, they can tap the "Live Subscribe" button on the top of a live video and whenever you go live or live again they will get notified. Now that is great!
And if someone missed it, after the live stream it will appear on your live feed, off course you can remove it if it is a special stream for paid customers only.
Increase Your Audience Place Advertisements!
You want more visebility for your live stream? Now advertisements can come in very handy as you will be able to target the right audience for your content you bring in your live stream. Facebook has a good system in place to get you those followers you need. It is worth the investment over longer amounts of time.
What Connection for Streaming Live?
You can stream live from your mobile phone or home pc. DSL will be fast enough from home, if you use your mobile phone you can use WiFi or 4G or faster for a smooth connection. Make sure this is a well established connection, do some tests before you go live, nothing is more as a downturner, when the watcher experiences break ups in your live stream.
Build Anticipation Live Stream! Schedule!
Facebook offers you a Live API to publish your live stream and you do well to use a schedule to announce your live stream. In this way your audience can plan and make free time to watch you going live.
Best way is a repeated live stream at a given time and same day. This way your audience will remember and know when the next live stream will be. Like Jay of Wealthy Affiliate is doing with his Webinar.
Make Money with Facebook! $$$$ !
Yes, you can make real money with your live streams and earn $$$$. The sky is the limit! how does this work? Well to sign up for Facebook Live (their advertisement tool) you will need at least 2000 followers watching you. Then Facebook will place ads in your live stream and for every 1000 advertisement viewers you will make around 7$.
Facebook will pay you out once you made at least 100$. So payouts are only for 100$ or more.
That may sound not much, but when you are growing and make many videos, this will start to go up as you will also gain more followers watching you. Within a year it is good possible your can make $$$$ a month. Now that sounds great right?
Facebook Advertisement Break!
If Facebook gives you the oppertunity to join Ad Breaks, monetizing will be made very easy for you and you are the one who controls it. You can run a 15 seconds advertisement break on every four or five minutes during your live stream if you want, by simply clicking a $ icon.
Your camera will turn off and you can then run the advertisement. Your live viewers will see a countdown timer in the corner of their screen during the advertisment. In this way they will know how long it takes before you go live again.
And my dear fans and readers. What do you think. Will you start live streaming in Facebook?

Wow, this is great information Stefan, thank you..... I'm thinking that I'm still in the 'feel the fear and do it anyway' basket as still in the training modules.... however this surely is an inspiration to 'move it along'!
thanks again.
Linda
Good morning Linda,
Great you like it, we all have that and we can overcome it just by starting doing this with our friends and family before we go wild. :0)
You can do it, I believe in you Linda!
Stefan, ToLiNoLi :0)
Thanks again Stefan
I guess I am doing better than I gave myself credit for as I have obtained Google index this past week.... yeee haa.... :)
Congratulations, job well done and you are on your way Linda! :0)
It all takes time, but we all will get there.
Enjoy your Sunday Linda.
Great info! I will look into this further. I suspect that once people get wind of the potential impact of this, it may begin to cost. Good time to get started and make hay while the sun shines, if you will.
Exactly Tom,
You don't want to miss the bandwagon on this one and great opportunity.
That is why I created this post, for all of you! :0)
Happy Affiliating!
Stefan, ToLiNoLi
That sounds like a good deal. I'm more of a behind the camera type person so maybe I can get Joe to do the live streaming... But you have definitely got my brain trying to work this out. Thanks

Hi Heather,
Good to hear you are going to make use of it. Good luck with it.
Stefan, ToLiNoLi
Everyone has confidence, without you would not even go outside and show yourself to anyone Brenda.
But as it is unusual to do, it automatically creates this fear in you, but it is not needed, there is nothing to fear. You sit behind your screen and there is no one around you.
That is even more easy as standing in a class with students (I have done that many times, I had students from 20 up to 70 years of age. It was a lot of fun and I learned from them too. :0) )
As written below, try it out with family and friends, before you go live to your fans and followers.
What do you think, will you try this method?
Stefan, ToLiNoLi
Good Morning Stephan,
I am not into live streaming yet but have had serious conversations about it. This is a great educational for all of us
thank you for taking the time to tell us
Karen
Hi Karen,
That is good that you are thinking about it. So will you pick up on this?
If I may ask you, are you using Facebook already and in which way?
Great write up about using live stream Video Stefan.
I am sure that I am not the only one that doesn't like the way our voice sounds or like the way we look. But we must get over that block and get in front of the camera and share the content.
Hi Rolland,
Yes you have to overcome your fear, but there is an easy solution for it, do one in front of your family and friends first before you approach the public, and ask them to tell you how it was so you know where you have to improve.
Do 10 of these, then you will see you will be ready to go big. :0)
What do you think, is this a good idea?
Hey Stefan,
Yes I noticed you were absent and welcome back. You are stepping in with a huge piece.
I have plans to do FB live but you brought me to a higher level of understanding in this post.
I didn't know about those monetizing features and that's something that makes me excited.
The problem we have here with live streaming is that of low/expensive Internet bandwidth. That makes it hard for us to experience the beauty of Youtube videos as well.
But I believe a change is coming soon ;)
Hi Enstine,
Thank you so much! :0)
I believe people should get more aware of what Facebook has to offer. I believe it will be the platform for best conversions as socializing is the key.
The monetizing can come in handy to cover your operational costs and who knows you can even start making an extra income with it. Another income stream you can add.
If you are smart, you should make use of the advertisement possebilities in Facebook, because you will grow faster then and that means your revenues and the money you could make with advertisements will go up. You will earn back your investment.
I think every country should invest in a high bandwidth network, internet is the future and you do not want to miss out on that.
Have a great weekend and do not forget to have some fun Enstine. :0)

Hey Stefan,

Tried and True

Overcoming and trying is the first step, try with some family and listen to them how you come over before you go big.
