Hello and welcome to the Focused on Story Blog and to the Author Toolbox Blog Hop #AuthorToolboxBlogHop which meets every third Wednesday of the month to share resources and tips for authors. Thanks to Raimey Gallant for hosting this venture.
Please join us to learn more about the craft of writing and to meet bloggers who are dedicated to helping each other become the best writers possible. Click here for the list of participants and take a break and visit them.
We are traveling this week so I can't visit hop participants, but I'll catch up when I can.
Finding Content for FB Live by J.Q. Rose
I've been playing around with live streaming videos on Facebook--FB Live. It's fun. I'm learning by doing.
Why use FB Live Video? Not only is it fun, but these videos on Facebook can be used as a marketing tool to get the attention of viewers/readers. FB Live videos can be used on your blog, Youtube, social media--anywhere you leave your "footprint on the web."
Research has shown video keeps visitors on your website longer and engages browsers more than just text or text and image.
The gurus say "relationship marketing" is the way to go to sell your products online such as your books, online courses, webinars, etc. FB Live allows viewers to meet you via video and affords them the opportunity to connect with you.
Use Content from your Blog Posts
Rather than spending valuable time writing a manuscript/notes for a FB Live video, I use content from my blog posts. I based the following video on a blog post about Writers Groups--Points to Ponder. Click here if you wish to read the entire blog post written in 2017.

If you think you can't do live streaming because you have no topics, then look no further than your own blog for ideas.
Have you tried FB Live or live streaming on Youtube? Leave us your feedback in the comments below. Thank you..
