Social Media Marketing: Using Facebook LivePosted on 01/16/2017
Ready, set, action! If your small business uses social media, you’ve probably heard about one of Facebook’s newest and most popular features: Facebook Live Video. Facebook Live allows individuals and pages with a Facebook account to livestream video, meaning it occurs in real time on followers’ newsfeeds. Video has become increasingly prevalent online as the most shareable posts on Facebook and the fastest route to gaining a new follower. How can your small business get involved? Check out this step-by-step guide for setting up Facebook Live Video and some ideas to get started. 1. Set up a plan. Pick a topic you think people will be interested in and build a storyline around it. Write compelling points for the video, though not necessarily an entire script. Establish objectives, who will be involved in the process and what to accomplish. Keep the livestream flexible and in-the-moment, but don’t go into it blind. 2. Generate ideas.
3. Start broadcasting.
Once the livestream closes, Facebook will automatically save the video to your business page for future viewings. You also have the option to save the video to the phone’s camera roll for other sharing options. When it comes to storytelling on social media, Facebook Live takes marketing to a whole new level. Facebook Live Video offers fast, dynamic and real-life visual engagement for your company to appear transparent and trustworthy. By utilizing this key tool Facebook provides, your small business can gain followers and customers. So get out there, and get streaming! |
