Is it April already?! The first quarter has already FLOWN by! I cannot believe how fast 2016 is going! Since it’s spring time (yay!), this month’s theme is all about Spring Yourself Forward! Let’s use this month to learn more about how you can spring yourself forward by learning and experimenting with new ideas to make the second quarter rock for you and your small business!
Periscope is sweeping the nation with its easy to use Live Broadcasting system that anybody can use to record their life or event or share a piece of information. This is a great way to become exposed to your ideal client or audience as well as a way to build your tribe, community, and bank. I have read stories of how people have used Periscope to build their income and increase their credibility. It’s a no brainer when you’re starting out and trying to gain a footing in this world of technology.
I first heard about Periscope from my friend Monique. Monique is the photographer behind her company, Silver Paws Studio in Fort Collins, Colorado. She goes around to animal shelters and photographs cats and dogs to showcase their personalities to new owners (what a awesome job!). She also photographs pet portraits for already pet owners too! So no more awkward dog or blurry cat photos! Seriously, go and check out the adorable animals Monique has photographed!
As I was saying, Monique introduced me to Periscope. Because of Periscope, Monique is now on a tribe called the Pet Lover’s Tribe where she, amongst other pet lovers (whose community is already built), can record videos about animals, techniques, expertise, and much more! Monique has built her presence, expertise and credibility using this one simple tool! She has created friends, a fan base and potential clients using Periscope.
I am getting into Periscope more and hope to start a challenge in the next coming months to grow my own presence, credibility and authority on it. I also knew for this blog post, I had to talk to Monique and gain insight from her.
Me: Tell me how you got into Periscope:
Monique: I use Periscope to connect to a worldwide community. People from California to Alaska to Australia watch and interact in my broadcasts. When traveling, I meet people in person and have an instant connection since live streaming is live and authentic.
Monique: Best times to Periscope depend on your audience, as with any social media. There are experts who suggest lunch and dinner times for USA EST but poll your audience. It helps to have at least one scheduled show a week that people can look forward to and add to their calendar.
