Chris Strub, CEO of I Am Here LLC, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss the connective power of live streaming.
Live Streaming and Narrow Scopes
Whether crafting a lengthy blog, trying to catch the perfect photo angle, or live streaming an off-the-cuff video, most marketers look at the numbers to gauge success. Analytics are crucial to understanding what is working, but higher metrics should never be the end goal.
According to Chris Strub of I Am Here LLC, you should always strive to be someone’s favorite. That may mean actually narrowing your scope a bit when creating content, counterintuitive as it may seem.
Affecting a handful of people is far more beneficial in the long run than reaching millions. When you create more customized and personal content, such as live streaming for a specific audience, you start to engage on a far more personal level, creating actual impact.
In This Episode
- Why modern journalism could benefit from better storytelling on social.
- How Facebook Live provides the perfect medium for real-time content from events.
- Why you should be narrowing the scope of your content.
- Why you should stop worrying about numbers and focus on being someone’s favorite.
