hello hello hello
holy smokes guys thanks so much because of your help I reached affiliate status
over on Twitch and if it wasn't for you commenting and watching and following my
station it wouldn't have been possible so I want to give you a big thanks and
with that I also want to explain to you what a twitch affiliate is and how it
can benefit you as well so stay tuned my name is Ileane Smith and
that's what's coming up in this video one of the first perks that I want to
point out to you about being a twitch affiliate is now because I'm an Amazon
affiliate as well I can promote my Amazon affiliate products right at the
bottom of my twitch page so if you're an Amazon affiliate you definitely want to
take a look at reaching affiliate status over on Twitch
up at the top you'll see now it says gift a sub but that's because I'm on my
own channel I'll show you in a minute what it will look like when you're on my
channel so one of the options that we have now is to pay in terms of twitch
bits that's what this get bits option is here in the purple but in the purple
button that you see there and so let's just click on get bits and you'll see
here that four hundred bits it costs a dollar 40 and so forth and so on and I
do want to give a big shout out right now to Bionic vape or he's the one who
show me all about bits and he was the very first to give me bits here on
twitch so now let's head over to another channel so I can show you what it looks
like from your view and also how you can get bids for free without paying so now
we're on the Babel music channel and these guys extreme
music 24/7 so this is a good one to check out if you love music and so now
you see at the top it says subscribe with the purple icon and that's what you
see at the top of my channel now so what you can do if you have twitch Prime or
Amazon Prime make sure you connect your Amazon Prime account because twitch
Prime is the same thing but you have to connect your accounts in order to take
advantage of it because you get one free channel sub every month you can
subscribe to a channel for free otherwise it costs $4.99 then you can
also make a gift of a subscription and that's $4.99 as well so you can gift a
subscription to someone else alright so now once again you see here
the get bits and you see all the different amounts and I also want to
make note that depending upon how many bits that you donate to someone you'll
see that the emotes change so you get different colors and you get different
animations with the emotes all the way up to 25,000 bits at three hundred and
eight dollars and of course these prices will be subject to change and every now
and then they do a sale now I want to show you how to do it for free how you
can get free bits in order to do it I'm gonna warn you right away you've got to
watch commercials so let's see how that works down at the chat box you see you
of course this is where you would give the bits and type any messages questions
comments feedback and all of that and notice these two icons over on the
bottom right the one I want you to draw your attention to
the bits so here is where you can show your support by cheering with different
cheer motes all right then get bits in this section where you get this you get
the option to watch an ad and when you watch an ad first let me let you know
that as you're watching the ad it's going to play over top of the stream
that you're watching and so you need to interact with this ad somehow click on
some of these buttons here and that's how you will be able to earn a few bits
now I'm going to close this out because I'm not going to actually play the ad
right now I just want to let you guys know this is how you would do it and
then you would get maybe five to ten bits depending upon what they are
offering for that particular ad so it's a great way that you can get bids for
free and then give to your favorite streamers show your support by cheering
with this yes and that was a short introduction to what it means to be a
twitch affiliate for the affiliate as well as for the fans and the people who
are watching the streams please let me know if you have questions you can leave
them in the comments take a look at the description of this video and you'll see
any relevant links and be sure that you're following me over on Twitch I
will be streaming more often over on twitch twitch has a handy mobile app
that we can stream from as well so make sure you watch that video here if you
want to know how to stream from twitch mobile so thank you so very much and
I'll see you in the next video peace
and before I go I do want to give you guys some real tips and just talk to you
about my journey of becoming an affiliate over on Twitch you know
there's some kind of saying about how people often give up right before the
dawn I think it was Thomas Jefferson who said that well I was about to give up
because let me just go over with you the criteria for becoming an affiliate
because it is completely different from the criteria for monetizing over here on
YouTube okay so keep that in mind and let me just see if I can get a little
screen share going right now and I have to move things around apologize for that
I said that I was gonna get that my ducks all in a row beforehand but I
didn't oh well that's me so let's see I want to go to the I knees twitch there
and I'm gonna go in the back end a little bit so we can just take a look at
some of those requirements and I do believe hey Sundra San Sereno how you
doing dear thank you so much for coming out and thanks for um just giving me a
shout out you know and I'm sure you gave the video a thumbs up but if you didn't
get a chance to please do so so first time watching me live yes it is first
time you're watching any YouTube live I am so glad oh wait I got to come back on
cam for that I it's never as good as the first time Sondra so I am so so glad I
want to put your comment up on screen first time watching
Aleut YouTube live well Sandra you know that I'm using ECAM live that is one of
our favorite live streaming tools and so I use this also on Twitch so I use it on
YouTube every weekend cuz I go live every weekend on YouTube but what I was
getting ready to tell you guys about twitch and my journey was that I did 30
days everyday life streaming over on Twitch I did it for 30 days and it was
some of it was using ECAM sometimes I went live with crowdcast if you're not
familiar with crowdcast that's another platform that I also use with patreon
and so it's a live streaming platform that lets you also use what's called the
rtmp technique for going live and and that's what you have to do even with
ECAM when I go live on Twitch I have to use the rtmp method so Sandra's saying
30 days yes yes because that's one of my biggest tips to share with you guys is
consistency now reason why was a challenge and the reason why I almost
gave up but I didn't but the reason why I got so close it's because and here's a
question that often comes up when it comes to live streaming what's the best
time to go live and I always tell people what's the best time for you to go live
so for me because I have a day job and you know I do this YouTube thing every
weekend right so I had to figure out when can I go live that's convenient for
me I may not get a huge amount of traffic or a huge number of people in
the audience but what's best for me and for me it was between 5:30 a.m. and 6:30
a.m. stern and you know it was a tough spot
guys but I did it okay because sometimes people like my friend Fraser Ramsay give
him a shout-out from Edinburgh dusters he's over in Scotland so I'd go live at
5:30 a.m. Bowl that's like 7:00 something or two in the afternoon for
him I'm sorry he's like seven hours ahead so it would be perfect so he
showed up a lot he was one of the people that showed up many many times and it
didn't matter as a matter of fact oh my gosh speak of the devil and he shall
appear well he's not the devil he's my angel Patrick M Ramsey which is
actually Fraser Ramsay which he's going to rename his profile one day soon I'm
sure but anyway so that was one of the
challenges and you know you guys you gotta just hang in there you gotta keep
going don't give up but the thing was because I was consistent so then people
outside of my regular Watchers like Fraser's one of my regular live stream
viewers but then there were so many people that just picked up on the fact
that hey this girl goes live early in the morning so it may be late at night
for them especially if they're in LA or over on the west coast or they could be
in another country but after a while they started to get the drift that yeah
she's fun to hang out with even if they weren't interested in my topic they want
to come over and just see what I was doing you know and and that's one of the
criteria so really quickly let me go now I'm going to before I do that I'm going
to definitely put up this fantastic comment from Sandra show up and go all
in yes so let's go to the screen share again some of the criteria that I had to
overcome so here we're going to go to path to Affiliate well it's all
collapsed now because I've done it all but let's let's get into it so ahead to
stream for 8 hours the last 30 days well you guys that know
me know that was not a big deal for me because I like to livestream and I can I
could probably do eight hours in two days
easy right okay but then like clockwork stream for seven unique days in the last
30 days okay so now that's a little a little bit more challenging but not for
someone like me because like I said I like the live stream so hang on in fact
let me get let me get me on here while we're looking at these okay and make
make it a little bit bigger because so you can see focused on what I'm talking
about over here so then the next one was and and I'll skip this one cuz number
three was the hardest part for me the last one what is thy bidding reached 50
followers now that was a challenge because when people think about twitch
they think about gaming right but twitch has a whole category now called
creatives and so I've done some Photoshop tutorials and so forth but
they also have a whole category for talk shows and that's right up my wheelhouse
right so sometimes I would be in the talkshow category and sometimes I would
be in what's called the in real life and these are some of the tips that I'm
sharing with you about how you can get that 50 followers because there's some
people that follow topics so if they follow the creative topic they may have
just ran across my station it just so happened to be up you know or or still
up or just getting up depending upon you know what country or what time zone they
were in and they were like like I said let me just go over there and see what
she's she's doing and of course you have to have good titles you know you have to
have titles that really get somebody's interest okay now of course I'm nowhere
near pro at doing this I'm just scratching the surface but I want you
guys to come along with me on this journey you ain't
me at least I know Sondra and frieza Ramsey are with me Fraser said 5:30 a.m.
is 10:30 a.m. there where he is an Edinburgh Scotland and I see that I have
some more company here this is my girl Tish Rosales and she's scared she called
Eileen fun Eileen morning faint fun thanks for the hashtags Tish you know
it's super cute Saturday just got my hair dyed but hey I am now here may not
be able to be home for long that's okay Tish I appreciate you for stopping in my
dear okay so we got past the 50 followers and actually I did that a lot
quicker than I thought I would but being consistent and I always had I didn't
just come on like okay it's Tuesday so I'm on here live now no it wasn't like
that it I actually had a topic that I thought
would be interesting and my friend friar Wade hello friar Wade is here hi wave
honest buck thank you for coming and so every time that I came on I also had a
real topic to discuss I didn't just come on and you know shoot the breeze and
like I said most of the time I was in the talkshow category but if I was doing
one of my Photoshop tutorials I was in the creative and then there's also
communities so there's different ways that you can get exposure from people
who like to watch there's a lot of people which which just like YouTube
that really just like to watch they're not necessarily people who are going to
create videos but they they love to consume them so then the last thing that
I had to get was the average of three Watchers for every stream that was a
toughest for me okay true story it was the
toughest for me because a lot of times by me going so early and sometimes I
would even start my stream at 5:00 a.m. and by me doing that so early in the
morning there would be some times that I wouldn't get anyone live watching so
that would kind of bring my average down okay so even at the end of let's bring
up this other comment here cuz I think Sandra has a question she says are you
on Twitch using ECAM yes Sandra and that's gonna bleep me into stick around
because I've got three or four tools to tell you about that you can go live on
Twitch with okay so I went through all four those requirements and then my
friend his name is Dale and he has self-published with Dale I know that he
had put out a video so as soon as I got that notification from Amazon you know
they gave me like a little confetti you you eligible you can apply for a Philly
because you just apply and Dale had already done a video going through that
whole application process and I remembered that so I went right over to
his channel self-published with Dale got the instructions because what they want
you to do they want you to fill out tax forms and it may be a little confusing
or you may be a little like what is going on here if you if it's your first
time so because I already had a heads up from Dale's video and I sit there and I
watched his video and then I was able to you know go through those steps are
filling out all of that ok let's see and do you have oculus go glasses oh my god
I love them very cool for live-streaming and meetups well you know that's great I
D I'm so glad you mentioned that Sandra because my daughter is doing that
Philadelphia real estate week so there's gonna be a week long
sessions every day there's gonna be a different topic about real estate
investing as well as home ownership so that's coming up June 4th through the
9th so the you say that they're very cool for beat ups that's going to be
fantastic to know so I'm going to tell her and see if some some of those folks
who are presenting or who are attending some of those events can come with some
oculus go glasses I don't have them but I'm glad you told me about them thank
you so very much honey I would definitely be sure to check your streams
to find out more info about that okay so let's go to a quick recap so with the
affiliate people can get subscriptions now if you're an Amazon Prime user you
have an Amazon Prime account please go over to twitch if you ever if you're
going to watch or stream on Twitch and connect the two accounts because twitch
Prime is the same thing as Amazon Prime and in a second I'm going to tell you
how that benefits you okay so you'll have you'll be a prime member over on
twitch okay you don't have to pay extra for that it's part of Amazon Prime so
what that means is that you can get one subscription for free every month so
every affiliate or partner who has a twitch channel can get people to
subscribe to their channel and that comes with different perks and you can
set up the perks that these people would get sort of like that sponsor feature
they have here on YouTube if you've heard about it but on YouTube you got to
have a hundred thousand subscribers to get that sponsor thing and I don't even
think it's rolled out to everybody that has a hundred thousand subscribers but
with twitch even with my 60 some followers over there I can get people to
subscribe and one month they pay $5 or it's $4.99
actually they pay $4.99 and they would be subscribing to my station and they
would get whatever the perks are that I designate for that and I think twitch
has some that are you know it's a minimum that you need to give to folks
and so Oh Sandra's asking do I have them no I do not have them I don't have the
oculus go glasses in fact I haven't even seen them so thank you for the heads-up
so alright the next thing that you can do is with the bits okay so as someone
who's watching a live streamer you can give them you can cheer them on you know
sort of like you guys are doing in the chat right now but you can also donate
to that streamer by giving them bits now you can buy bits in order to donate just
different streamers but let's see what what if my Prime has my husband's darn
email I think that's okay as far as the email is concerned you can you can still
as long as you can log into that account you can still connect the two accounts
okay so login and you should be able to connect the two if not then you go over
there and change the email on his prime account to yours
or vice versa cuz he won't care if he has a twitch account right so the emails
I don't think they have to match up though you just have to cut be able to
log in and then make that connection yep you know just like you also can connect
your Facebook so that it can notify people on Facebook or your Twitter so
that some of the one of the benefits that I can get they have these things
called extensions and it almost reminds me of like a plug-in on
or WordPress or something or on your blog but with these extensions you can
create fun little tools like every time somebody tweets like say for example if
I had to set up and I don't have it set up but let's just say I did cuz I I can
I just didn't do it yet if you were to tweet me right now and include my
Twitter handle in the tweet your tweet could pop up on the screen using one of
the extensions I believe it's the stream labs extension that does that or one of
them will explore all of that stuff stay tuned guys there's so many extensions
and so many cool things you can do every time somebody gives you a bit you can
sounds can go off and cheering and all of that stuff there is just so so much
to learn about twitch it's so different from YouTube it's so different the
audience is different the things that help you build audience and build
community and and there's a different kind of an algorithm I don't even know
if they have an algorithm I'm not a hundred percent sure about that I know
that the folks that I subscribe to well actually it's called following the
people that I follow when they're live I I can't even get it get an email
notification or I can see it when I log into my twitch as soon as I log into
twitch on the home page I see on the left hand side over here everything's
reversed I see all of the channels that are live right now so in fact let me
just go over there and show you exactly what I mean okay it's total it's
different from YouTube here's one of the many differences of YouTube okay so let
me get myself off screen here so now I'm just on the twitch home twitch TV I'm
not on my station okay and it shows me the channels they think that I want to
watch that's what's in the middle screen but I can totally ignore that if
I want and just look at what's followed channels over on the side here and all
these with red lets me know that each one of these folks is live and I also
get to see how many people are watching their stream then I can even say show
more because they only showed me the top five then you know so if there's
somebody that I really want to see and they're not in that top I can go down
here like the guys from Queens they do a podcast there's a lot of podcasters that
are just simply podcasting here you know they're not doing any kind of gaming or
anything like that they're in the talkshow category and their life so let
me do a quick demo of giving them some bits so I'm just gonna come over here
and use the hi guys bits that's one on ones that I like now I the last time I
gave them a cheer they didn't see it so I don't know if they're monitoring the
comments or not but just take a look now you can see here I'm going to zoom in on
that because I want you to see that now I became the top stream the top cheer
person in the chatroom can you see that all right let me move things around cuz
I want to make sure you guys can see that right over here is next to my name
and then it says that I gave them six Cheers
and all this kind of stuff these you know it's a gaming platform guys so
there's so many different gaming aspects to it that are built into it that it's
it can be like a little overwhelming when you first come one there but like I
said being consistent just going back every day learn a little bit here learn
a little bit there and it's okay if you don't you know have a full grasp I don't
even have full grasp of the platform like I said since I became affiliate
there's tons of things that I could set up that I haven't even
up yet because well you know I have YouTube to do as well thanks Tish Tish
and I see that Tish reminded you guys of what I always tell everyone to go ahead
and follow one another click on those three dots at the end of the chat box
and then you'll see at the top it says go to channel so I always recommend that
each other everybody follow one another so that we can keep up and keep the
community tight okay and then you know get notified when people go live so you
know there's been a and um before I get into back to YouTube because I almost
went off topic I'm not gonna do that yet let's go back to my little list of
things that I want to remind you of okay as far as the extensions go and the
extensions like I said during like plugins sort of on your blog post on
your blog but they're a way to augment your channel page and the things that go
on during your streams so let's see if I can find out where some of the
extensions are oh guys and just so you know just so you know this is super cute
Saturday and all that today but earlier today being vulnerable and keeping it
real and going behind the scenes and all that stuff wrapped up into one if you
notice here at the top my most recent video I actually took out my hula hoop
and did hula hoop yeah that was that was scary to be oh and someone came in in
fact my friend Dale from self-published with Dale he came in and gave me a cheer
so now I actually have a couple of cheers up at the top of my c.i Bionic
vape or he gave me 85 bits and actually his brother which is self-published with
Dale I knew Dale first I got introduced to
him from bored iseman over here on YouTube and so you know it is it's been
something really special to just bear it all here and then my buddy mr. snow has
arrived better late than never howdy mr. snow so since Larry is here he
always gets special treatment we're gonna roll the little video again so
let's do that holy smokes guys thanks so much because
of your help I reached affiliate status over on twitch and if it wasn't for you
commenting and watching and following my station it wouldn't have been possible
so I want to give you a big thanks and with that I also want to explain to you
what a twitch affiliate is and how it can benefit you as well so stay tuned
my name is Ivy Smith and that's what's coming up in this video
one of the first perks that I want to point out to you about being a twitch
affiliate is now because I'm an Amazon affiliate as well I can promote my
Amazon affiliate products right at the bottom of my twitch page so if you're an
Amazon affiliate you definitely wanted to take a look at reaching affiliate
status over on twitch up at the top you'll see now it says gift a sub but
that's because I'm on my own channel I'll show you in a minute
what it will look like when you're on my channel so one of the options that we
have now is to pay in terms of twitch bits that's what this get bits option is
here in the purple but in the purple button that you see there and
so let's just click on get bits and you'll see here that 400 bits it costs a
dollar 40 and so forth and so on and I do want to give a big shout out right
now to Bionic vapeur he's the one who showed me all about bits and he was the
very first to give me bits here on twitch so now let's head over to another
channel so I can show you what it looks like from your view and also how you can
get bids for free without paying so now we're on the babel music channel and
these guys extreme music 24/7 so this is a good one to check out if you love
music and so now you see at the top it says subscribe with the purple icon and
that's what you see at the top of my channel now so what you can do if you
have twitch prime or Amazon Prime make sure you connect your Amazon Prime
account because twitch Prime is the same thing but you have to connect your
accounts in order to take advantage of it because you get one free channel sub
every month you can subscribe to a channel for free otherwise it costs
$4.99 then you can also make a gift of a subscription and that's $4.99 as well so
you can gift a subscription to someone else
alright so now once again you see here the get bits and you see all the
different amounts and now ok so since that was the second time for me showing
that video I'm not gonna show it all again because I've got a couple of
comments that I want to put up and that's Daniel fortes hi Daniel this is
probably the first time you're commenting on one of my videos and if
it's not forgive me we're forgetting but this is pretty cool I just had this
plane in the background thank you for coming to the livestream you know I I
really want to talk to you guys about twitch because sometimes you hear so
many people too just want to you know vent about YouTube
and what's going on over here now there's problems with the subscription
feed you know and it's like if you didn't have all your eggs in one basket
you wouldn't be so upset okay so go with the flow
alright and know that there's other platforms out there and like I said
there is such a difference between twitch and YouTube now for those of you
who are watching us that don't know Amazon owns twitch that's why the Amazon
Prime and the twitch prime go hand-in-hand because it's an Amazon
property so this is not some small-time player okay this is big-time you know
cuz Amazon is you know is even bigger than Twitter because a lot of people
still like to go live on Twitter and periscope and all of that but Amazon is
right up there with the rest of them okay so so here we go I wanted to talk
about these extensions just connected my twitch to prime today thank you yay so
now you could give me bits or you could subscribe if you're not subscribed to
any other channel because you only have two for the free subscription get one
free subscription if you're a Prime member you get one free subscription the
subscription lasts for a month okay but anybody can buy a subscription
for $4.99 to any streamer alright $4.99 per month that's just a set rate
that they have I think it's more if I was a partner cuz that's the next thing
that I would have to go for but as an affiliate it's $4.99 so you could sub to
me and then you could sub to Larry for $4.99 okay but everybody who's got a
twitch pry if you don't have another channel that
you want to subscribe to you'd only be stuck with me for a month and you know
me I'm gonna give you some good content during the course of a month right
especially now that I am exploring oh they can go and over here on Twitch
because there's a lot of gamers here and they're only going to talk about twitch
from the aspect of gaming so most of the creatives that are over here and the
other content creators like you and I they're not doing tutorials they're
talking about whatever their topic is okay so you got the best of both worlds
here with me so I just want to go over really quickly
a couple of different softwares that you can use to live stream on Twitch alright
and there's that one that most live streamers love to use it's totally free
it works really well on PCs I've hear people with Macs having problem with it
but that's OBS and most people who are streamers use OBS especially if they're
gamers they're using OBS and then some of these extensions these third-party
apps actually combined with OBS so they have their own version of OBS because
remember OBS is an open source project so people can build applications on top
of OBS and that's what they've done I'm surprised nobody's done that for YouTube
but they've done it for twitch extensively and now just to give you an
idea when I talked about extensions now all of these are not related to OBS and
I'm going to get back to the other platforms in a second I just want to
take you down the scroll down the page you can see the vast amount of
extensions that you can add to your twitch channel so you know stream Labs
is one of the most popular ones and this even says sorted by popular
but then you know the the gear on Amazon is the one that I showed you guys
earlier where I have my little gear stuff at the bottom of my page now and
some of these of course I have not explored all of them but I'm just gonna
scroll down here scream stream Labs even has this different one that lets
you show your schedule and gives you a countdown timer before you go live
then you can add Spotify so that you can have your music playing and you don't
have to worry about any issues with you know them not wanting different artists
because this is a Spotify integration they they want you to play the music
don't ask me why it's different here than is on YouTube I don't know but
that's just the way it is so then you also have just all kinds some of these
things are even random and some of them are related to specific games so you
really have to go through this is the other one that I started using stream
elements and reason why I want to bring this to your attention is because I even
have it connected with my youtube channel and they have been giving me a
summary at the end of my YouTube videos so there's a bunch of stuff to explore
there I probably could do videos on each and every one some of them don't even
apply for us that are not gamers or if you want a gamer in your hair hey let me
know let me know let me know if you have any questions so I do see some stuff
coming in here hi Riverside rocks and Larry said forget about eggs I don't
even have a basket oh and tisha said that which has blossomed yes and it's
been blossoming like all along but we just weren't paying attention to it that
much but now I am I'm totally I told him because I get sick of hearing all the
the chatter about YouTube did this I'm so tired of you two how come I can't
grow oh my gosh it gets a little annoying true YouTube is just one
channel of your marketing efforts amen brother
and Sondra says Amazon flash briefing is freaking gold well honey you preaching
to the choir because that was what my last YouTube video was about and Larry
snow can tell you all about it and if you were a patron of Larry snow over on
patreon you have the whole soup-to-nuts of how to set it up and everything else
and I listened to his flash briefing this morning yeah oh by the way for
those of you who are interested in flash briefings be sure to listen in to Chris
Brogan who is a big advocate was being interviewed by Michael Stelzner on the
latest episode of the social media marketing podcast yes and of course I
was thinking about Larry snow the whole time I was listening and Riverside rocks
said hi hi Riverside rocks how are you so so yeah yeah yes so I let's go on to
the next thing that I wanted to talk about I mentioned one of the software's
that you can use to stream is OBS okay I don't use OBS thank the heavens
I found a cam ECAM life this is the platform amor right now he cam
and so ECAM live once I had that I didn't feel the need for obs
I'm not saying that OBS isn't great and that people who are using it need to
switch over to you can because that's not true
he camp first of all is Mac only so I would never suggest that however if you
are on a Mac and Sandra can tell you to and you want a powerful tool as you guys
have seen me doing stuff like putting up the comments and all of that I can have
my branding here for I was in two lower thirds I'm not but if I was I could have
that on and you just saw me play a video inside of my livestream yeah you can do
that and I also could have interviews here one using ECAM it's just that it
works through Skype which I personally find it to be just a little bit too much
so when I want to do an interview or have I shouldn't say I want to do an
interview I want to have guests on the panel okay because I did it the other
day I use crowds cast crowdcast dot IO and crowd cast is a browser-based
solution that lets you bring in guess and also you can screen share and you
can do it on Twitch and yeah so crowd cast is another option it's a paid tool
but it's still it's a great one it's a great one
oh wait we're going to keep you up to speed because Wade said flash briefing
Wow I've got a lot to catch up a flash briefing is basically a news a news a
news alert or a newsletter an audio newsletter
and as delivered daily and sometimes like with a business-related one like
with the Larry's he just does it on the weekdays he doesn't need to do it on the
weekends okay also Ross brand from livestream universe
he has one so if you want to keep up on everything with a live streaming you
would go you would subscribe to Ross's and he tells you who shows and honestly
I found out about a few shows or maybe I knew the show existed but I had no idea
what time it came on a world who they were gonna be interviewing or talking to
or whatever but because I get that flash briefing from Ross every weekday I was
like yes and then even a couple times he gave me a shout-out for the streamer
chat which is the Twitter chat which we'll go back to but we're just on a
little hiatus right now because you know you can't put all your eggs into many
different baskets right Larry first you gotta buy the basket tasks yes
Eileen flash briefings oh my gosh she should have heard Chris Brogan talking
about the flash briefing and you know it was so unique because when Michael
Stelzner started asking him about the numbers and all of that of course the
numbers aren't big yet because a lot of people don't realize what flash
briefings are a lot of people don't know how did it but it's common people it is
coming and so I'm so glad my friends have their foot already in the door so
that when people start searching for security
they're gonna find Larry snow when people start searching for a live
streaming they're gonna find Ross brand and even anchor the folks at anchor they
have a daily news flash briefing and that's another good one that I love to
listen to in the morning and she has different segments just
you can always just skip the ones you're not interested in like when she starts
saying the president or something like that and it's like I don't wanna hear
about that next Alexa next almost say her name - laughs yeah so Chris let a
lot of credibility to that topic because if hadn't been for Chris broken that
topic would not be covered my social media marketing show trust me because
the numbers are small and you know how people are about their numbers and even
Chris admitted that his numbers were small but you know hey I might even add
his briefing - to mine just because I like Chris Brogan
he's coke can't post your Flash link I will listen in yeah go ahead Larry Larry
can do that because Larry is a moderator here on the channel which I so so very
much appreciate for him yeah I'm not a fan of Skype or zoom is okay but I don't
use them I've I've gone into other people's zoomed I just don't even like
opening Skype so you never know maybe one day they'll change it but crowdcast
is the great alternative and that's why I went for crowdcast because I do like
to have sessions where I'm actually having you guys in and the fact that I
can you know stream on Twitch through crowdcast is really great because
they've improved the quality of the video as well now too so I had a couple
of live streams you can go that's another thing you can go to my twitch
channel and look at my past live streams and they were pretty good it's not like
it was just so so content because it was over on Twitch I put some good stuff
over there just as good as the stuff I put over here on YouTube in some cases
maybe even better but you know there was just um okay
and no your no yours girls yes SSS Larry says on mobile in and out oh ok Larry
but thank you I mean that means a lot that you're on mobile but yet you're
still coming in and out appreciate you so very much so there's one other
platform that I want to tell you about that you can use to live stream to
twitch this also works with with Facebook I don't think it works with the
group's anymore but it's free so we can't get your money back so it works
for periscope twitch YouTube and Facebook pages and that is stage 10
stage 10 TV I have a tutorial for that I will put the link over here in a YouTube
card for those of you are watching the replay of this and you know I often
tweet that particular tutorial because there's not a whole lot of good
tutorials about stage 10 but the fact that you can go live here on twitch with
station now the good thing about stage 10 is you can have people come in but
you can't screen share you can't screen share with stage 10
it's a browser-based solution and like I said it's free so the fact that you can
bring people in and you can play those pre-recorded videos like I played for
you guys earlier here with ECAM that makes it really fantastic you can't pin
comments you can't put your branding on there they do have a way that you can
drag and pull in images and you can show an image so if you had a presentation
already set up hey can't a how are you if you had a presentation you could just
bring those in as images and screen share that way but you can't do a
straight-up screen share one stage 10 so let's just go over those real quickly
because some folks just came in so the different ways that you that I suggest
that you can try to live stream directly into twitch and
all of these also work when YouTube are ECAM live which is what I'm using now
OBS which I don't use but all my friends do and I still recommend it
crowdcast and stage 10 and I will be sure to have links for all that stuff in
the description here on YouTube and yeah so if you guys have any questions about
any of this stuff I really look forward to hanging out with you over one twitch
and I probably will not necessarily do a daily live streams over on Twitch but
it's just so much easier for me to go live there I just because like here on
YouTube I wouldn't think of doing a show at 5:30 in the morning but because
twitch is more to me it's more laid-back and it's more like you know there's not
an algorithm and all that stuff there's just a lot tone it's probably just my
own mindset thing that I need to get over but it's okay because I do have
twitch as that alternative now have to go live here on YouTube at 5:30 a.m. but
I will do it on Twitch and so let me just really quickly go back to my
channel and the thing that I told you guys that I liked the most was the fact
that I had that Amazon gear thing because I do have some gear here that I
want to share with you and it's just some of this gear is the gear that I
have one the page so we were talking about I'll call her Lexi
so here's Leslie I actually have the dot and the big boy
EKKO so this is the echo and just say we love
your only thank you Tish so this is how I get my flash briefings
you also can listen to podcasts this way through the Alexa and I have the V dot
is in the kitchen this one is unplugs I had to worry about
her really the other one she did she did hear me say her name but she I didn't
give her a command so she was cool and every week they said your email to tell
you all the cool things you can do so oh and I mentioned you have them all over
the house okay Kente says and I'll put that up on screen that he's got
mm-hmm-hmm Sh'ma Mexico why it's affordable and I just did a podcast and
I released it to my patrons first about oh she started playing music now I
didn't ask her to do that
okay so there is one way without me trying to keep yelling in there to her
there is an app that you can install on your phone Alexa stop Alexa stop
Alexis stop she doesn't want to listen to me that's okay it's playing very
quietly so and you know what I can do I can turn down the volume from the Alexa
app mm-hmm there's more than one way to skin a cat yeah so I know what the
problem is it's telling me that it's not connected so anywho let's move on to the
next the next item that I have here and I mentioned my daughter and you know of
course how proud I am of her and she just got a resolution from the city of
Philadelphia for an event that she's putting on called the Philadelphia real
estate week actually is Philly real estate week but one of the other things
that she has is a book called the antique hustle start a six-figure
business in one year by Nicole pervy that's my daughter so that's one my shop
this should be a live stream title Alexa stop I think I do have a live stream
with it hi I really do believe it or not and can't a said he's got his trained
she come on when I tell her - yes she does come home and you tell her - but
sometimes she doesn't like to be quiet and usually I can go in here to the app
and turn down a volume but for some reason that's not working
today oh that's okay probably because I had the big boy unplugged
so all right so one of the things that I love to do when I am live-streaming
especially if I'm on mobile I love to have my smart laughs plus microphone
this thing is so cool because especially if you're doing the podcast like you
know I was doing a podcast I usually used to Spreaker app or I use an app
called voice record Pro and then I'll upload it either to anchor or Spreaker
or pod bean and I use this I also use this a lot when I'm doing my Instagram
especially from doing instagram live for a story you know it has to be really
serious the reason why I'm using it because if you're outside and you've got
wind noises and all of that you need this kind of a microphone I'll bring it
over here so you can see it's what they call a lapel microphone all right so
this clips on to your lapel and you know it plugs into the iPhone now has the old
jack on it but you know when you buy the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 8 or 10 it comes
with this little piece with the lightning connector so you can connect
that but I was using this also on my iPhone 6 so yeah I love this rode
smartlav+ and the links are in the description but like I said it's also
over on my Amazon my twitch page okay so Sandra has a great question
and the question is what wireless do you like for mics I actually don't have a
wireless mic so that's the answer to that but the ones that I saw and that I
heard rave reviews from the guys over at live streaming pros Maria and David
Foster it's called the 8010 I think the name of it has a little bit more to it
than a t10 but let's see if I can bring that up is actually in my my shop I
didn't put that on my twitch page but say my Amazon shop because you know I do
have an Amazon shop which is for influence you know if you have an
influencer shop let's get that screen share going and I'll show you that and
so let's see if I can get that wireless mic here sort it out right
I want to get everything set up guys I'm glad you asked his question Sandra but I
had to get a set up first so the scroll down and I'll show you that Mike is the
audio technica
system ten there are three hundred dollar microphones but I was watching
their coverage of NAB and when I say there I'm talking about the
live-streaming pros that's Dave Foster and Lauria Petrucci and I watched a lot
of people that were covering that NAB Show but theirs was the only one that
had that audio that was just crystal clear and they did so they were able to
do all kinds of switching back and forth and I even asked them when they were
there like what is the mic that you're using and it's this one the audio
technica and even Amazon is recommended it as Amazon's choice so I'm actually
going to put the link to my shop here in the chat here on YouTube just so you can
go over there if anybody wants to shop today and benefit the channel and
support my live streams you can go over there to amazon.com slash shop slash
Eileen Smith so yeah and so all my gear recommendations are over there you know
I have to echo and I have the dot there and I have you know some of the stuff
that I have back here oh the last thing that I want to show you guys before I
bid you adieu oh I'm sorry there's two more things
well the one thing is a tripod we're talking about going live especially when
you're going live on mobile you need a tripod and this little bad boys only
like 12 hours so and that's on the shop page as well so
this and you can adjust the height of it and you know and I use this also the
other thing that I use this for is for taking selfies I mean because you need
to have that selfie on your YouTube thumbnails right so when a day like
today which is a super cute Saturday meaning that I went to the hair salon
and so I don't wait until the day's like three and four days later when the hair
is not looked it's okay but not as cute right but on that day I'll come in on me
take 20 shots but I have it all on the tripod and then I just use my earbuds
and you know you can click that little thing on your earbuds now the other
thing my favorite live-streaming tool I can't actually show you because it's my
webcam but I have a second one so I'll use this just for demonstration purposes
this is the Logitech c920 2 but the one that I use every day is the Logitech
c920 they're both a very affordable and check them out and find out which one is
the right one for you I when I did a comparison I ended up liking the 920
better the 922 is more hi-def which means that tended to show every single
flaw that I probably didn't want y'all to see in my skin oh and Kente said
thank you very much my dear by the way your hair looks lovely thank you thanks
to Shelly over at Hair Studio 712 here in Philadelphia I got another good hair
comment yes thank you so much and then Sondra even said you're so
super cute Saturday love it yes I've been using hashtag super cute Saturday
for about two years now I don't know what made me say it one day and then
it's like and then yesterday which is the debut
before I go to the hairdresser you know the hair is not looking all that cute so
then that's when I came up with hashtag uber uncute uber I'm cute you know I had
to have a little alliteration in there all right one last thing to show you is
the USB mic that I use when I'm recording my podcast now before I even
show you the mic it's on my Amazon page but I want you to know that this mic
works with your iPhone and it's gonna give you a better sound than just going
right into the iPhone so if you want to record a podcast and you don't want to
have a big time setup you can still use your phone but you can use an external
mic I did a whole youtube video to show how it works
I've talked about it on the podcast and all that and so this one is called the
at2020 forgive my back the 80 and it's also from Audio Technica Audio Technica
is good they make some good mics and it's the at2020 and and this wentz
windscreen you need to have one of these and you know it's called you want to
avoid the plosives which are your poppin peas and all that stuff and so you want
to have the at2020 now the mic that I'm speaking on right now is the
audio-technica ATR 2100 okay now that has a different it's a
wind a foam when I forget the name with the difference between the wind screen
and the wind you just need to make sure you have
something to stop you from popping your piece and plosives
hey wait no Sandra Sandra Sandra says I want to give you hearts damn YouTube
girl you'll see that little emoji I kind of right underneath the chatbox that's
where you go in there and you can uh heart it up and emoji it up
and that's another thing where YouTube is different from twitch because on
Twitch they're not call emojis they're called emotes and they're totally
different there it's not even the same lineup but you can find some hearts and
smiley faces and all that stuff in there and let me just really quickly show you
in case you're you weren't familiar with that this chat box has down at the
bottom this is where you can give a super check to someone that's what that
dollar sign is or you click on the emoji keyboard and it brings up all the emojis
and then when you're done with it you can just click it off oh yeah but then
also the super chat which you can even give super chats anywhere from one
dollar a day it's the default is two dollars but you
actually could give somebody a one dollar super chat but from one to five
ten all the way up to 500 dollars and then when you make a comment that
comment stays pinned at the top of the jack so I invite you guys anybody who
wants to give a super chat feel free to do so yeah so you know
YouTube does have some cool things over here I'm not turning my back on YouTube
I will be doing my live streams every weekend that's been working out well for
me and it seems to work out well for you guys because usually between from one
week to the next I usually have some real news to tell you guys about and
something that's really like on your hearts and on your minds and I
know that people are getting frustrated and so let's really quickly let's talk
about this YouTube situation before we get off ok so here's the problem all
right let me tell you the situation before I tell you the problem YouTube
has started using an algorithm so to speak on your subscription feed so in
other words when you go over to YouTube and you just want to see the channels
that you subscribe to you would normally see them in chronological order reverse
chronological order based on when they were posted okay so you're going to see
the video that was just published an hour ago then you'll see the video that
was published two hours ago and etc etc it's been like that for for ages alright
and I'm bringing that up on my end so you can see what I'm talking about
so let me screen share that
if I switch the screenshare that'll help okay and I'm gonna get myself off of
here so you guys can see alright so now it's giving me things in reverse order
alright so what they have decided to do is tweak this and start using an
algorithm and showing you what they think you want to see based on your
viewing history not just on your subscribers now come on guys doesn't
that sound familiar Facebook's done the same thing
Twitter has done the same thing I don't even know what the heck going on over on
Pinterest they've been doing that for the longest they stopped showing in
chronological order it's so long ago I can't even remember what happened
okay so sorry about that so now YouTube is doing it and so now
everybody's upset so now I told you the situation now I'm going to tell you the
problem here's the problem we as content creators here on YouTube are always
telling people the call to action don't forget to subscribe hit that Bell
notification subscribe subscribe subscribe for the beginning an idiot
video to the middle to the end we're telling people to subscribe so what
happens people are doing it because they're dare listening to you're like
I'm not subscribed to this channel but they don't have no intentions on
watching your videos they just subscribing they're subscribing because
they like your video they you know they think you are nice you were entertaining
but that may not even be the topic that they're really interested in learning
about they just needed a one-time thing like if somebody wants to know how to be
a twitch affiliate they'd be watching this video right now but they don't care
about podcasting which I talk about a lot here on the channel now or they
don't care about YouTube which I talk about a lot here on this channel so
every time I release a video which is every weekend or
more right they see my thing but they just scroll past it they scroll past it
because I have 6000 subscribers but I don't get 6000 views on each one of my
videos so same way with someone else who's got 8 million subscribers and I
think that maybe only a couple of people that have 8 million but there are some
they don't get 8 million views on every video ok now there are some people that
do get a higher proportion of their subscribers watching their videos but
that does not mean it's because of the fee is because alright let's just say
you're a daily streamer everybody knows you did a video every day they just go
to your channel they probably don't even look at it in the subscription fee look
oh I know my favorite streamer I'm not even going to name a name because that's
not important I just want you guys to get the point of what I'm what I'm
trying to make here's the problem so what we don't realize that hurts us that
hurts our channel because YouTube is now showing us the click-through rate when
the impressions right of our videos they weren't showing us that before but this
is a new thing that they came up with in analytics and they're showing your
click-through rate and you can see maybe your click-through rate is 2% 4% 7%
whatever whatever it is a lot of those people that saw your video are your
subscribers but they didn't watch it so it's to your benefit because YouTube's
got all the data so in other words if someone subscribed to my channel but
every time I put out a video every week they're like ups I'm going pass her I'm
not gonna it's to my benefit for youtube to stop showing that person my video
whether they subscribe to my channel or not
doesn't mean they won't see it it means that it will be filtered down lower in
the feet not necessarily in the chronological order so it's actually a
good thing and if for example someone like myself I subscribed to a thousand
channels and you know how many of those people I scroll past every time I see
they put out a video I'm like I don't really wanna watch this I don't know why
I subscribe to that person probably because they told me subscribe to my
channel and click the bell on notification so you don't miss a thing
well honey clicking that Bell notification does not mean I won't miss
a thing because I really don't watch your videos so and it's okay is nothing
personal it's just we all are strapped for time and we have to do what's most
important so take the good with the bad
everybody and take a chill pill so explore another platform hang out with
me over on Twitch you might find an audience over there okay because they do
things differently and I showed you guys earlier I'm not gonna show it again
about how over on the right hand on the left hand side I saw everybody who was
live so it's more a bug platform it's geared toward life you can watch reruns
you can watch someone's premiere I could take this video right here when I'm done
download and upload it to twitch I could do that that's okay you can upload
videos on twitch people may not watch them as much as they will a live stream
course which is more of a live platform okay so I think I'll get off my soapbox
now does anybody else have any comments
okay wow that was a tip worth being here
thank you I'm not sure what tip that was but and does the super chat work just on
life even if you're not on Twitch okay two different questions
super chat is only for YouTube so doesn't super chat doesn't work on
YouTube at all oh it's on twitch now and which no let
me answer the question about super chat here on YouTube the person must be live
in order for you to give them a super chat it's a live stream feature not just
a youtube feature person has to be live you won't even see that option okay now
on twitch you can subscribe to a channel I don't have to be live you also could
watch one of my reruns and give me bits I don't have to be live it could be the
rerun so see ya there's so many different I would have to draw like a
humungous maze of a chart and say you can do this on youtube you can trust me
I thought about in fact I think I had that dream last night I was like it's
too many things to compare you know you need a team of people to sit down and
compare all the features on how youtube differs from twitch but something basic
like that which is about money yeah I can tell you that Ralph's the top of my
head so Daniel thank you so much and Daniel let me know if you're on Twitch
what is your twitch handle and and I'll make sure I'll connect with you over
when do you think LinkedIn will have live I don't think link teens are gonna
have live until next year but what do I know I barely use right like you know
one thing I I was gonna start using it more because Larry actually asked me a
question about LinkedIn so it says I'm going to start using it more okay so um
hang on just one second guys I think I have something really special that I
want to show you and it doesn't look right on ECAM I have to
spring it up one here Oh didn't show up on there I'm not sure why not I'm not on
twitch but here's your tip thank you yeah I'm trying to bring it up on screen
oh here it is oh there you go with a little bit of a delay Thank You Daniel
for the $2 I appreciate it and then we said thanks great timing I was looking
at the fryer wait which account earlier today wondering what I was going to do
with it now I know yay and Daniel I appreciate you so very
much for the super chat it's always good to know that someone values your content
and will show support in a monetary fashion yeah so if there's a there's so
many things that are different between YouTube and twitch yes every bit helps
yes and you should come over to twitch Daniel but you know what
we sent it earlier but I did not show you guys because actually Tish mentioned
it make sure that you click on those three dots and I have to do this for
Daniel right now because I actually was caught up in the middle of some talking
when I said it earlier make sure you click on those three dots and subscribe
to each other's channels and Daniel's got a nice little channel going on over
here whoa rejection free formula all right I'm going to check it out I
subscribed now I will watch some of your videos not like I said earlier about
subscribing and not watching i watch because hey the super chat is
worth a couple watches a couple comments and a couple thumbs up over there right
that's how we roll okay but you come and check out twitch
you know and if you do do you know just go ahead and follow me I'm sober and
Daniel had you been subscribed to my channel before or did you just so happen
to see that I was live today because I think this is your first time ever
coming over to one of my lives so I just wanted to check in with you about that
and frier way yeah be sure that you stick with my tutorials I did have once
video here speaking of twitch versus YouTube I did a video about that but I
didn't go into that much detail because I didn't know that much and now that I'm
affiliate I have a different level of experience with twitch because a lot of
the features weren't available to me but now as an affiliate I get a lot more of
the features available to me I just have to fumble through and figure them all
out because not that many people have videos on this topic and ones that are
out there are old and you know these platforms they evolve like you know a
video that's two years old talking about twitch affiliate program is probably
half of it is probably outdated some of it could be right you know but the other
half is like you're not really sure right so so as I know I'm the one the
only one that became affiliate this week that did a video about it yes that's how
I got the alert okay you're subscribed already great Thank You Daniel so the
last life I was born was a while ago I didn't watch too many lives but today
I'm glad I did I was playing in the background okay great
now that's right well you know we got a play on the weekends I like to do my
live streams on the weekends but hey gotta run so happy to watch girl right
Sandra thank you so much my don't forget to tag me when you do the
oculus glasses thank you so much that sounds like fun
no and we need to have our new gear toys there might be something I can add to my
Amazon shop then again I don't know they sell it on
Amazon I'll find out though okay so everyone who came out thank you so so
very much I'm so glad you guys are all connected with each other and even
Sondra I got to make sure that I'm connected with her here on YouTube
because I know we're connected on Facebook and and a bunch of other places
but before I leave here I'm not gonna nope I was not connected with her so yep
there you go Sondra got our another subscriber here on YouTube yeah but
we're connecting on snapchat and facebooking and all that good stuff and
Twitter and everything so but you know it's it's always good to have multiple
places to connect with someone because you never know when those sites shut
down like we got clouds going away right no yeah I'm going to take two more
minutes because I just want to talk about that Klout is going away and so
now there's another site that might take its place and I don't remember all the
details about it but there's also another site that's going away or that
may go away that's called Audioboo an audio boom it's called now I used it it
was called audio boo and there's gonna be some podcasters that are gonna need
to look for a new podcasting home and for the hosts for their show so we just
one day these platforms are flying high and the next day they're shutting down
so always try to have multiple touchpoints with those people that you
really care about and whose content that you really want to consume because you
just never know and that's why I don't put all my eggs in one bag
because I pick up new friends no matter what platform I go to because people
know that you know I care I want to see people succeed I put out this
information for you guys because you never know like fryer weight said you
know hey he has a twitch channel and he was wondering thinking about what to do
with it so maybe I sparked some ideas I always
loved he always inspires me so I love inspiring him too you know
felt good when I got that little notification from twitch that says
you're eligible to be an affiliate and then if I never sell a thing over there
it doesn't matter it's a fact it's an achievement it's a it's a feel-good
moment right and I want you to have more of those and you we all got to celebrate
all of us our wins whether they're big or small and and don't let people call
you similar youtubers y'all know I hate that
terminology I don't like it and most of the people they're calling people small
youtubers I've seen a met them in person and they're all littler than me so I'm
large compared to them and if you don't believe me watch my whole loop video
over on Twitch and you'll see just how large I had but that's okay cuz I'm
working on making it getting in better health and that's what's really
important for me have fun being good health be of good cheer and you know
have friends and and be helpful to them and we learn and grow with each other
and with one another so keep continuing to follow me on my twitch journey you
know you guys do something to separate yourself right to make yourself stand
out so everybody over here you got all these YouTube gurus and I know a lot
about YouTube too but I wanted to do something that's just a little different
a little different to that I've got the podcasting thing I know we're going to
see what we can do with Twitter so I'll probably do a twitch stream tomorrow
morning if not later on tonight so hang in there peeps and with that I just want
to bid you all a I do and don't forget you can always get in touch with me
let's see if I have my call to action ready yup want to leave me a voicemail
