Live video has changed the way how we interact on social media.
Before, we would chat with many people via social media platforms like Facebook (Instagram), Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, YouTube to keep up with what is happening in the world.
With Twitter, it made communication much easier in “real time” because of the instantaneous response.
When live streaming arrived in 2015, interaction on social media went to the next level with no signs of slowing down.
According to Cisco, 82% of all internet traffic will be drived by video by 2021.
Which means if you are not using video for your business, it will become much harder to reach your ideal audience in the future.
Another reason why you should be using live video is to meet people you would not have met before even with social.
I was very fortunate to have met Cynthia Bazin two years ago via live streaming.
She was among the early adopters of Periscope and also made some guest appearances on shows which was hosted on the now defuncted video platform called blab.
Cynthia have the drive of helping business owners to be laser focused and her company “The Smart Chic” is centered on her values.
I had the opportunity to interview Cynthia on this week’s episode of What’s The Word?
Cheval John founded Vallano Media to close the gap between elite strategic thinking and the small businesses that need it most.
Operating at the intersection of social media management and sports, he is building a dual-pillar brand that does two things: deliver real growth for businesses and translate the sports strategies into practical business lessons.
Cheval hosted "What's The Word?" a podcast about finding out what inspires people to choose their respective careers and how social media impacted their lives and business from 2013 to 2017.
He has spoken at Social Media Week Lima in Ohio and at Social Media Day Houston 2017.
He was named a Houston Top 25 Social Media Power Influencer (2016 and 2017) and Twitter (Now X)Top 50 Influencer by Onalytica in 2018.
