Ustream, for those of you who have not yet watched, participated or run your own Ustream feed, is a platform where you can launch, stream and manage streaming videos for your market.
What sorts of videos might you stream on Ustream?
- A weekly TV show you put together for your marketplace
- A weekly Q&A (either prepared in advance, taking live questions via chat or a combination of both)
- Group coaching sessions where you assist a small group work through one of your infoproducts
- Communication out to affiliates, partners or follow up with customers
- An interview – where you interview an expert and allow interactive chat just like a call-in show
Ustream itself has been growing rapidly and allows a terrific way to brand your business, expand your market coverage, interact with your marketplace and provide some high quality back-links to your website
Ustream Is Even More Powerful – Partnership With Facebook
Today, Ustream announced a new app that can be installed on Facebook that gives you the ability to closely integrate your Facebook page with Ustream.
For example, you can setup your streams to feed right on your Facebook fanpage, allow promotion to your Facebook Wall (announcing an upcoming Ustream for example) or blast notice of your new Ustream event to your Facebook contact list…all with the push of just one button once you install the app.Â
Here is a quick video showing you how to set up your new Ustream application on Facebook:
I have been asked many times over the last few months which social networking sites information marketers should be focusing on…my answer is as follows:Â Twitter, Facebook and Ustream…now you can get an even bigger advantage through the Ustream application for Facebook.Â
Give it a try…I know we will be using our Ustream account within Facebook over the next few days.
