Take it away ladies…

1. Always be seeding your offers

To successfully make your offer and convert during a Facebook Live I recommend you refer back to your program, clients and work that you do throughout the Facebook Live. Don’t just bring it up at the end.

Focus on the what, why and inspiration in your Facebook Lives and the specific how tos are in your program/offer. Encourage people to message you if they are interested in learning more.

A big part is being consistent with Facebook Lives so you build up you know like and trust factor.

2. Use location to build engagement

3. Balance the promo with free content

I typically use Facebook Lives for free content, but will sometimes pitch an opt-in incentive (more free content) to get viewers onto my list or into a sales funnel.

To me, that feels a little easier than pitching a product, but I also know some people who treat their Facebook Lives more like webinars where they have a more formal pitch.

I occasionally do Facebook Lives that are ALL about a product, but only when it’s a special occasion, like the last day of a launch or a day when bonuses are expiring during a launch.

4. Master one message

Master one webinar that converts then do it on Facebook Live. It removes any friction that can prevent people showing up live and converts like crazy. But you got to have a high converting webinar first, so you don’t look like a fool on Facebook.

5. Position yourself as an expert

Don’t be the person that gets on Facebook Live and says ‘I’m just going to give a few more minutes for people to go ahead and get on, then when we have a few more people watching, we’ll go ahead and start.’

Don’t do it and here’s why:

If I go on a Facebook Live and somebody is sitting there just hanging out, the first impression it gives me is they don’t have anyone following them. It may not mean that but you always want to position yourself as an expert.

Get on livestream with tonnes of energy right from the beginning. You’re not waiting for anybody because you’ve got important, exciting things to say and that’s why there’s replay. You don’t want people watching the replay having to wait through that.

Get straight to business.

7. Work smarter, not harder

Facebook wants us livestreaming and has changed it’s algorithm twice to keep Lives at the top of the newsfeed longer. This leads to greater organic reach and more opportunity to connect with your ideal clients. You can turbocharge your organic reach however with three smart moves:

1. Schedule an email in advance of your Facebook Live letting subscribers know why they should join and when. Your subscribers are already part of your community and are more likely to engage than a ‘cold’ viewer. This engagement increases your reach, strengthens your relationship and can lead to exposure to new audiences.

2. Ask a question during your Facebook Live introduction making sure it’s easy to answer. For example, if I am talking about social media I could ask “Are you frustrated with Facebook organic reach?” Viewers will immediately answer yes or no. The comments indicate that people value your content so Facebook will share it with more of your audience.

3. You’ve done the hard work to get viewers, now make sure they come back by telling them to tap to turn on notifications while you are live.
