SHINE BRIGHTER

⏱ A countdown timer sets the mood for your livestream, differentiates your video, allows the platform to notify your audience that you are live, and encourages engagement.

Consistent video is the best way to connect with your ideal audience, create brand recognition, increase trust, and attract paying clients. But it's the "consistency" that stumps most people.

I've created videos on and off for years, but it wasn't until I created a dedicated studio that I started being wildly consistent.

In this episode of Rise and Shine, I walk you through the exact setup that I use in my studio as we go behind the scenes on my weekly livestream. You see exactly how I set up lights, camera, decor, and other pieces of gear so that you can build your own great looking, functional studio at home or in your office, too!

Watch the episode, and see the resources listed below.

Below are the tools that I use in my video studio:

Camera: Logitech Webcam

Lights: Softbox Lighting Kit

Remote Control: BN-LINK Wireless Remote Outlet Switch

Livestreaming Software: Ecamm
