Facebook Live Social Video: I Gave It a Try. Here’s What Happened.
IT ALL STARTED ON INAUGURATION DAY…
I traveled from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. to protest during Trump’s inauguration and to be part of the Women’s March on Washington. I did a number of Facebook Live webcasts and the response blew my mind. One of the videos in that series (the second one below) has had well over 4,000 “views.”
How did that happen?
I got “high” with some help from my friends. Well, one friend in particular, Jeffrey Grimshaw who used a technique called “social bookmarking” that he learned from me. Go figure. 😉
Here’s our conversation recorded using Zoom Webinar and webcast via Facebook Live:
Here’s the Facebook Live video from the Mall in Washington, D.C. immediately after Trump’s Inauguration:
I’ll share more soon. For now here are two significant outcomes from this experiment:
- There’s been so much enthusiasm for social media action in response to Trump, including two different requests for educational programs about “Social Media for Social Action” that I’ve created a quickie website that includes those two course descriptions. Please contact me if you’re interested in a course like this in some form, in some place, or virtually.
- I’m doubling down on “Social Video.” It is going to become a major focus, including in some form on my Patreon channel (hint: this channel/community/tribe is a place where you can support my work if you are so moved.)
Much more to come. Stay tuned.
