How to Stream Using YouTube Live and Hangouts On Air


How to Stream Using YouTube Live and Hangouts On Air

If you didn’t know, we have a Freedom-Preneur show every week so that we can share valuable information that you need to know. This past Wednesday, before we did our show, I took this video explaining to you how we get set up. I will show you how to stream using YouTube Live and Hangouts on Air.
You can no longer go through Google+ to access your Hangout on Air. This posed a problem for us, because we do our shows live on Wednesday nights. to do a live show in Clickfunnels.
If you didn’t know, we don’t record our shows ahead of time. That is already a unique thing we offer to our readers, because if you know much about Clickfunnels, you’ll know most of it is pre-recorded. It is important to us to have the interaction with you all during the show.
Now that changes have been made with Google+, this is the process we use to stream live for our Freedom-Preneur Show.

How to Use YouTube Live and Hangouts On Air

Make sure that you do each of these steps in order so that you can do your show

  1. Sign into your YouTube channel
  2. Click on video manager
  3. Click the live streaming option
  4. Locate and click on events
  5. Look at the top right and find- new live event
  6. Select Type: Quick
  7. Create a title of your video
  8. Go Live
Once you have done those steps, you will need to login to your Clickfunnels account.

How To Stream Live Through Clickfunnels

Since we prefer to go live for our shows, we have a work around to add the YouTube link we created into our Clickfunnels page. After you do all of the steps to get your video started, you will be able to grab your YouTube link and input it into your Clickfunnels page. 
Here’s what you will need to do next-
  1. Go to your live show page in Clickfunnels (this is a page that you have to set up ahead of time in your account)
  2. Click on the video
  3. Video Type- YouTube
  4. Paste in the video URL
  5. Save the changes
After you do all of these steps, click preview to make sure it is working correctly for you. Before you send it out live, you will want to be certain that it is streaming properly.
When you go to the preview page, it should say “Live stream is starting soon”. This will let your viewers know that you are going to be on shortly.

Start The Broadcast

Once you have all of these components together, you can start your live broadcast. If you have been going through your Google+ page, and no longer have that ability, this is how you can go live.

Establishing Cash Flow in Business

Establishing Cash Flow in Business

Whenever we are starting a new business or venture, cash flow is the most critical element. As Paul Maguire says, it’s oxygen for your business. That means planning your month, quarter and years promotions and activities are vitals and required for your success.
To help you plan for the close of the year, I put together a quarter branded plan outlined with examples of how I manage my sales cycles to keep the cash flow in business going. 

For Better Cash Flow in Business Think About Your Entire Quarter

It is important to understand your budgeting needs for the entire quarter. This will allow you to break down your financial needs for each month and see how they fit together. If you are going to be successful in your business, you need to know what your financial commitments are.

You Need a Budget

If ever there was a need for a budget, it is when you are a business owner. Without an understanding of your financial obligations, you can get into deep trouble real quick. What if you have a big bill that you need to pay in the second month of the quarter? How are you going to pay the bill if you haven’t earned enough in sales?
That is why having a quarter branding plan is essential.

What is a Quarterly Branding Plan?

A quarterly branding plan allows you to map out exactly what you need to do to bring in the earnings necessary to cover both your personal and business expenses. You will develop very specific action plans that help you know what has to be done every day in order to reach your goals.

Quarter Branded Plan


In this document, I give you a real life scenario of how Brian and I would structure our quarter to host an event. In order to get interested people to the event, we will launch a 4 week workshop and host weekly calls to bring in new members to our Freedom-preneur academy.

What is the Freedom-preneur Academy?

Over the last few years, we have realized that there is a major hole in the online marketing industry. If you do enough searching around and digging, you will find all of the information you need to build a successful business. The problem is, many people run out of time and funds long before they find all of that information.
We created the Freedom-preneur Academy to house all of that valuable information you need to be successful. When you sign up to join our academy, you will have access to training videos and worksheets that will help you know exactly what you need to do.
Not only do we offer the video training courses, but you can also plug into the online community of other Freedom-preneurs that are in the academy. These men and women bring so many skills and knowledge to the table.
