Facebook stories and a few smart tips for those of you working from home
Hey Ed…Happy Wednesday
Happy Wednesday Tammy! 🙂
Living the dream…everyday…all day long
Cool!
Hello
Gremlins…lol
Haha see
Hey Ed!
So good to see you here! How are you?
Hello! Ed you are AMAZING.
🙏🏼thank you!
I hate sorting socks…lol
And most of the time socks disappear right? 🙈
It’s never ending!!!!!!
I hate folding laundry
It was my dream to invent this!!
I want one… But it also needs to deliver it to the closets.
Enter your updated version of it 😂
I can hire a housekeeper for that!
☝🏼 😆
FB stories? Yes
No Idea what FB stories are
That’s ok. I am so glad you were able to tune in. Did this help?
Yes! My new career!
Have no idea how to use it for business?
Did this help Tammy?
Ed Troxell Creative I think it helped…I’m definitely going to research it further.
Tammy Fink Excellent! Yes, research is key!
I did… But not much.
Interesting!!!!
Shot out to @nicolewalters !! 😉
Yes
Makes sense so far
Cool! I never saw the “next” -button options.
Oh cool! I love being able to show something new 👏🏼
Save! Yes. Yes yes…. Great thing to remember.
It’s the best feature lol
I never looked at Stories so this is great stuff
!
This is what I love to hear! Awesome!
Do you think you will start using stories now?
That’s good to know
Why do I want to use this as opposed to just going live?
Such a great question Jocelyn Van Coney! Glad we were able to answer this live. Yeah, it really just depends on what you want to do and how comfortable you are doing it – meaning, do you want to go live or just have a short story video which isn’t as public if you will.
Do you think you will start using stories?
Maybe Ed Troxell. I have to think about it a little. Its one more thing to do and I’ve just planned out how I want to do my lives.
Jocelyn Van Coney Good idea. Yes, think about it and see if it could be a teaser clip maybe prior to your lives 😉 Maybe the night before you do a quick story of what you’re feeling for the next day’s show?
Do you know anything about “our story” on business pages? I just noticed it today. It’s not related to FB stories, right?
It’s just a separate story for your Facebook business page. Great question!
That makes sense.
Can you draw on FB stories?
Such a great question and if Facebook is listening they might add that feature soon 😉
Thanks!!!?
( no question mark) thanks!!!
Can you tag people in Stories?
🙁 sadly not yet on Facebook. Instagram does allow you to though.
It seems like fb stories aren’t used a lot ( at least my friends). So, it would seem it’s easier to capture people’s attention since it’s at the top of the page. Is that what you’ve noticed?
Yes! So true! It’s good to jump in now so that it’s easier for you to be seen 😉
Perfect! Thanks for your insight on FB stories and getting attention.
Oh my pleasure! Are you going to start using stories both on Facebook and Instagram?
Yay yay yay! That’s awesome
What brand webcam do you use?
Great question! It’s this little guy which has been pretty awesome! even has the built-in lighting 💡

Practice, wow never thought of that’s.
Yup! It’s all about testing and seeing what happens! 🤓

Mind blow!
I love that insight! You don’t know who will see it!
It seems so simple right but we forget because we are so focused on the right now numbers.
Yes, would love webcam link.
Here you go Whitny Turner https://kit.com/CheckwithEd/filming-gear/yoluke-usb-hd-webcam
Ed Troxell Creative Thanks! You’re awesome 🙂
Ed Troxell Creative Thanks! You’re awesome
Ed Troxell Creative well I used to catch you on periscope and I don’t know if it’s the platform change or the camera but you look better on Facebook. LOL I’ve been off social media for awhile and I’m just getting back so maybe it’s just me not just you but the quality over all looks good.
Can I ask, what caught your eye in regards to this camera?
Whitny Turner You bet! 😉

I love your border😊
😱 Thank you! It’s a work in progress but it’s working right now for me too 😉
I appreciate the feedback 🙂

It’s so hard not to compare.
I totally agree! It’s human nature to compare. We just have to be careful not to get sucked in too far you know 😉
PS Can I just say how exciting it was to have you use my name in your example…. 😀
Isn’t that fun! I love it! And it looks really cool!
Do you think this feature encourages people to comment more?

Like Nicole Walters says no need to compare when you are running your own race.
What program are you using? Is it for PC or Mac?
I was broadcasting through Ecamm Live for Mac only 🤓

Yes I was on with her on Periscope too😊
Oh cool! Now, let me ask you, do you use Periscope? I’m curious how many still use it compared to Facebook live now
Ed Troxell Creative No I don’t go live on it anymore but I watch periodically. Going to be doing Facebook Live and YouTube. Starting with Facebook Live🤦🏽♀️. I just finished Jereshia course.
Anita Posey-Fendall Good to know, thank you! Oh cool! Jereshia Hawk will be here live and on tomorrows show 🎉 So be sure to spread the word and bring your friends 😉

Maleeka, you’re so right. So Cool

Yup…. my phone was 1000. Imma use it
😆 Tammy, yes! Lol.
So. True. 😂😂😂
Bernadette Henry right?

Yes, FB wants you to be here all the time so the more you engage the better for your page.
So true! And if we give them what we want then we get somewhat rewarded right? 😆

Here is the link to my live training next week that I mentioned http://bit.ly/FBCreatorTraining
Hi Ed! Will the training also cover how you do your intro/outro video?
Peatra Osborne Stots hey! Oh yeah!
The Facebook creator app plays a small part here as it’s just kicking things off. I will dive into how to create the intro and outro videos as well as a banner 😉
Ed Troxell Creative Awesome! I’ll be signing up. Looking forward to it!
Peatra Osborne Stots Sweet! It should be a blast! 🙂
I just looked at Ecamm’s website and it seems like awesome software, espically for the price.
Peatra Osborne Stots oh yeah! If you have a Mac then it’s totally worth it! Saves you so much in the long run!
Peatra Osborne Stots I am waiting to see if I get approved for their affiliate program so I might have a link for you soon if you need it.
Ed Troxell Creative Awesome!
So how do we sign up for the class that is happening next week?

Anything particular that caught your attention regarding the training? Just curious if something specific stood out for you 🙂
Ok friends, I think I followed up with all of you and showed some emoji love. I hope I didn’t miss anyone. Have a great night and for those catching the replay, be sure to drop a comment so we can chat 😉
Remember, you never know who will show up and see your comment and want to start engaging with you.
How funny is this, we talked about how Facebook has the text option for stories but Instagram doesn’t yet…enter “Type.” 🙈

Making sense
I need help getting encouragement on my business page. Will this help?
Oh yeah! And be sure to check out Monday’s episode here on pages as that will help too! https://edtroxell.com/facebook-business-pages-stand/
I love that. One on one and private message. Cool
Right? It’s all about getting real personal in 2018.
My business is hard to get the engagement I get in my personal and I have more followers.
Design purposes? What do you mean?
Can I post a story in Facebook that automatically post on Instagram?
Makes sense! Engagement is 🔑

What’s the post to help engagement on business page again?

I agree going live definitely helps develop you in many areas.
It’s amazing how much you grow even just after a few broadcasts. 🤓

Catching the replay
Hi Ed 🙂
Hey Monica! How are you? How’s your weekend going?
I’m good 🙂 just getting my work content ready to start my week 🙂 my goal is to get 2 weeks worth done by tonight 🙂
I have a question for you…. I’m not quite sure how to put it but here go’s
I wanted to reactivate my coaching status for beach body but they charge $15 a month for a website I won’t use because I’ve always been taught NOT to use the company website… so is it worth it? I feel like I’m throwing $15 a month away! And if I’m not going to use it should I be in that company? I really like everything else about the co !
Monica McGahan great question! If it’s not a requirement in order to be a coach then no. I was not waste the money.
Watching Replay: Hi Ed!
WOW!
Good stuff huh? 🤓
Do you use stories already?
Yes it is! No, I don’t currently use stories, but I plan to start. I listened to the replay on my work commute and didn’t finish full video. 😔 I plan to finish watching later! Do you mention later how we can re-purpose our saved stories? By working full-time and building a brand, I’m all about working smarter not harder. 😉
Tonya Miller Cross awesome!!! That’s really cool! Yes, I mention how you can repurpose 🙌🏻👏🏼
Exactly! I got you 🤓
