LinkedIn Live has been around a few years but many people still don't know how to join one. Do you? I'm frequently asked if there is a link to click like with zoom.
INTERESTING FACT:
According to LinkedIn, live videos get on average 7 times more reactions and 24 times more than comments than native video produced by the same broadcasters!

How to join a LinkedIn live:
Check and see who the host is and then at the set time bring up their profile either on desktop or mobile and you'll see them going live in their cover banner at the top of their profile. They may use a countdown before they get going.??
As a viewer you have the option to turn on or off subtitles.

A free StreamYard account is fine if you're a guest on a live show however if you're considering becoming a host I recommend upgrading and using your own branding like I do - it's great for brand recognition and visibility.

Attendee on a Live:
Have no interest in ever being a host or guest on a live and simply enjoy attending them? Lives are an amazing opportunity to build your network and add value!
Check out the people signed up on the event page and actively engaging on the live and if they look interesting reach out, you already have something in common.
Who knows your next client, collab partner or trusted supplier could be on the same live as you. Treat a Live like any other networking event! If you want to add value to the host(s) and attendees (and be noticed), engage - share your feedback and / or ask questions!

Hi, I'm Jen Corcoran.
I’m one of?the UK’s most successful LinkedIn trainers.
They call me the Super Connector because I help introverted, empathic and sensitive female coaches, consultants and creatives attract their ideal client?to reach that next level of revenue without having to resort to paid ads or awkward cold outreach.?
Think 'in flow' versus forced hustle mode.
Originally from Dublin, I live in Devon, England by the sea with my husband Mike.
I'm a chatty, connection-focused introvert / empath / HSP, oat latte and travel lover. I’ve helped thousands of people just like you?thrive through my online courses, consulting, workshops and talks.
What separates me from 99% of LinkedIn specialists is that I believe in using LinkedIn holistically according to your?personality,?energy?and?goals.
No one-size fits all!
I also 'connect' my clients to opportunities from my little black book.
I look forward to helping you shine on LinkedIn. ?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?”

1 年Thanks Jen - I think one of the trickiest things is people working out how to join a Live so it's great that's right at the top of your list. I don't attend many of them, in part because I've been stuck not knowing how to join several times so I'll hold this in mind next time!

1 年LinkedIn live events can make such a difference for both speakers and audience. Streamyard is one of the best investments for my business. I love how the paid version allows you to stream to multiple destinations and access the recordings. LinkedIn lives have been the foundation of my new YouTube channel and I love running them solo or with a guest. :)
