This is live TV and anything can happen!

Golden Rules of Live Stream Club Turn off your computer or mobile devices

before broadcast. Wait 1 minute then restart.

Check your bandwidth and your devices. Make sure your sound and camera are on

and working.

Sometimes things just don’t go as planned.

Take a deep breath and go to your back up plan

If you don’t have the bandwidth to go live…..

Go old school and record your video on your laptop, camera, smart phone

or table. And upload it later

It’s not the end of the world if you can’t go live.

The truth is most people watch live broadcasts in replay.

What equipment that will make your live streaming easier and make you look more professional at the same

time.

Hover Camera

Of course if you want to go Old School….

Use two laptops or a combination of laptops, smart phones or tablets.

For my Google+ Live Broadcasts

I use two laptops, along with a Blue Yeti Microphone and Logitech C 920 Cameras

Technology is constantly changing , mobile devices are getting more amazing

with each new edition.

Live Streaming is the Future and there is no better time to begin then now.

If you wait for the perfect situation- the opportunity to own your blogging niche through live streaming will pass you by.
