FaceBook Live Ideas:
Promotion: Podcast, or website or blog, product. Talk about a guest or key points from your podcast or a new blog post….Do it in a way that helps them. Daily vlog. Take people along in your day or maybe share quotes or personal moments. This is a great way for some people to build high levels of likability and trust. Maybe you are on a fitness or weight loss journey, do a daily weigh in or something like that. Behind the scenes. What are you working on, what is your office setup. People can not get enough bts. Tips and Tricks or News: share a daily tip or some tech news or something you think people will find useful. Product Reviews or Demonstrations: Unboxings would work or demonstrate how to use a product you sell or an promote affiliate products. Q&A: You can either compile a bunch of questions beforehand or send out some posts letting people know to show up at 4:00 pm with questions on podcasting, etc. AskMikeMurphy
