What is Ustream?

  • Interactive live media streaming.
  • Launched in 2007.
  • Allows users to broadcast their own channels on Ustream network or on a third party site (i.e. your blog).
  • Allows live viewing and presenter to audience interaction via commenting and live chat.
  • Ustream offers a platform to host events, which are called shows or set up conversations with participants from anywhere around the world.
  • Ustream is also a social network. It’s encouraged that you create a profile, “favorite” shows, “follow” those you’re interested in, create broadcast schedules, add bulletins and be social with other users.
  • Viewers (and users alike) can rate and review shows. Doing so can positively affect a show’s standings on the home page.
  • There are older recorded shows you can search for within the site.

Who is Using Ustream?

  • Politicians. In 2008 seven million viewers turned their browsers to Ustream to watch live streaming coverage of the Republican National Convention.
  • Musicians.
  • Hollywood.
  • College and University professors are using for sporting events and prominent guest speakers.
  • Gary Vaynerchuk.
  • Ustream reported that last July 410,000 people were streaming video, and averaging 15,000 unique shows per day.

How does Ustream work?

To broadcast on Ustream you must have internet connection and webcam. The site is free. Once registered, enter basic information about your show and click Start Broadcast to begin a live streaming show.

The feed is live on the web once you click Start Broadcast.

From the Ustream site, users can email their broadcast URL to the names in their address book, or Tweet and Facebook the link.

Some advanced capabilities include desktop screen sharing and picture in a picture displays.

From Ustream’s home page, users can watch featured programs. Programs on the home page are those that are highest rated based on user feedback.

Users can also search.

Once users begin watching a video stream, they can chat live with other participants or comment on the feed.

Registered users can keep track of their favorite shows by clicking “Follow” on the show’s main page. Then the show will show up in the “My Feeds” section of their profile.

Why Does Ustream Have Significance?

Ustream offers an attractive means for internet broadcasters to connect with their audience and/or community. It allows for dialogue between users and opportunities for deeper connections (globally).

Overall, Ustream fosters and encourages richer online connections.

What are the Downsides to Ustream?

The live video streaming isn’t always uninterrupted. The site requires a steady connection, which often makes it difficult for remote users and those with a limited bandwidth.

What Are the Implications Ustream Has For Marketing?

More examples include-

Let’s say you’re giving Primerica training at a hotel conference room.

There are those in attendance, but you also want to provide a live feed on the Internet.

Why?

Maybe you’ll only be doing this seminar one time, and you have reps who live far away.

Broadcasting live in this case would be a good use of marketing and training.

For example, if I were doing a live video workshop of creating a marketing funnel, that’s all I’d talk about, and I could answer questions and solve problems along the way.

Another option that would work well is the “talk show” format.

This is where you act as a host and interview people. You can even have a co-host or a group of co-hosts where you discuss a topic. Tip: keep it moving and make sure there is chemistry between everyone, or at least some magnetic personalities.

And other option is the “ask the expert” format.

This is where, at a scheduled time each week, you host a show where people can tune in and ask you questions live. As long as you’re an expert in something (stock trading, gardening, whatever), this is a format you can easily pull off. Plus, your audience provides all the “content” for you, in the form of their questions.

Product launches

Makes sense to host a live Question and Answer session.

Scroll down the page if your interest was piqued by the headline to learn more details about connecting with Mike Klingler and the Marketing Merge team on Ustream.

Or patiently read the valuable information you should know about Ustream.tv.

Ustream.tv is a free service that allows you to broadcast video and interact with an audience – live.

To get started, all you need is a webcam (or a traditional video camera attached to your computer) and a broadband Internet connection.

Ustream.tv isn’t the only game in town, but seems to be most popular right now. Other live stream services include stickam.com operator11.com and justin.tv

Is Ustream.tv a good marketing tool for your business?

This depends on three important factors. But first, ask yourself what you’re doing online. Other questions that follow would be:

  • How will it build your brand and/or business?
  • What is your comfort level on video? Now kick it up a notch, what’s your comfort on live video?
  • How will live streaming video assist the marketing and sales funnel process you’ve created?

Live video services are intended to be watched by a live audience. They are not meant for pre-recorded video. Nonetheless, it can be valuable to record and make available for play back.

Here is an example.

Let’s say you are thinking about purchasing an SEO course that costs $997, but you have some questions you’d feel much more comfortable asking before purchase.

It sure makes sense for the owners of that SEO course to host a live streaming video doesn’t it?! Of course, they could be fielding all varieties of questions that make a difference between purchase and no purchase.

In this case, it’s also a great tool for establishing trust and making a connection.

Follow this link if you want even more examples and information for how to use live video streaming with Ustream.tv?

Most prefer to watch video at their convenience. This is why pre-recorded video rules over live video. That and all the edits that are sometimes needed to create slick and professional videos.

You can offer recordings of your original “live video” to your audience. But often, the live streaming videos aren’t meant for that. Bottom line is that there is a stark difference between recording “live video” and one that is pre-recorded and edited.

But what if you want to play around with live broadcasting nonetheless, just to see what happens?

We recommend you should, and we have a fun opportunity for you to help you get started. Pay close attention to the following.

Meet up with Mike Klingler and the Marketing Merge team on Ustream on New Years Day! Mike will be speaking to our Renegade Professional community.

Didi Alcheva will be announcing the winners of the live event contest. (Don’t worry, attending the live streaming video isn’t a condition for being a contest winner).

You’ll get to meet up with the entire Marketing Merge team. We’ll be wishing you a happy and prosperous 2010, and giving a special “can’t wait to meet you” greeting to all those who are planning to attend the Renegade Professional Live Event.

If you want to connect with Mike Klingler and the entire Marketing Merge team on live streaming video where you’ll be able to ask questions and interact, follow the link to learn more specific details.

Yes, I want to meet Mike Klingler on Live Streaming Video

Alicia enjoys teaching and training other entrepreneurs how to attain the same debt-free lifestyle she lives today.

Join Alicia as she shares her “10 Secret Strategies For Fast Lead Conversions”, “5 Magical Ways to Increase Profits”, and “3 Top Secret Reasons People Buy from You”.

“…It was the equivalent of that video working continuously for 2 straight years – constantly. And it brought a lot of money my way! How can you make a half million working 20 hours a week? It doesn’t sound human. Well, it’s not human. You learn to digitize yourself, and your website never sleeps.”

Mark_HoversonMark Hoverson started his online business with a $250 used computer. At first, he did not know how to attach a document to an email, but within 14 months, he was able to generate over $3.2 million dollars.

Mark is known for his ability to create a “high tech, high touch” community that focuses on personal branding & leadership.

He will be speaking about Automation without Alienation: how to create a personality-rich system of earning that is highly automated, yet also builds a thriving community.

Discover Mark’s time-saving secrets for virtually eliminating email and other low-paying activities, so you can focus only on the two highest-paid activities: building your personal brand & teaching your team to thrive. This presentation alone is worth the trip!

Don’t miss your chance to meet and collaborate with the leaders and rising stars. Go now to purchase your ticket to the first ever Renegade Professional Live Event.

  1. Mark is singing my song: automated systems, 4 hour work days, eliminating emails…This was an eye-opening interview.
    I’m all ears for more!

    Comment by Becky Joubert — December 28, 2009 @ 10:11 am

  2. I am really looking forward to hearing Mark speak. I get so distracted when I’m on the Internet or even check my email. I NEED to set better work hours for myself and my family. I’m very excited for the whole event–learning how to take my business to the next level, meeting all the presenters and meeting other people from the Renegade community. It’s going to be fabulous!

    Can’t wait to see you all there! :)

  3. Awesome analogy of the board between the two buildings. I’ll be making a video on that tomorrow, hope that’s OK with Mark (I’ll acknowledge him as the inspiration)!

    Comment by Deon Reynders — December 30, 2009 @ 4:58 am

  4. I’m eating Mark up right now.

    I love his “Atrach meaning to Things.” quite an emotional explanation but it hit the target.

    Trading Excuses for Cash!!! How many of us have done this??

    Back to finish and ADD to the 2010 business plan with multi videos.

    Cant’ wait to here the reports from Portland.

    Thank you Mark for sharing that with us and our community.

  5. Wow, it just keeps getting better and better.I have been listening to all these interviews and I can hardly wait to get to the Live Event.
    Mark has some great points and I am anxious to learn how to impliment them in my business.
    We have a great community here with so much support and so many resources.Everyone should be at the Live Event.
    See you there.

  6. Mark, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Way to bring the ‘reason’ to the forefront of what we do. Congratulations on your success and for your courage and willingness to share. Much appreciated

    Comment by Gayle Buchanan — December 30, 2009 @ 11:59 am

  7. Great ideas Mark…the best marketing tool I presently use is a BIG White Board!! Staying focused on daily production is way easier when it’s staring at you in multi-colored marker!! Keeps you off twitter and facebook when your daily goals are in your face.

    I do have two exceptions to your thoughts…In my book, network marketing is a relationship business. In that sense, once most is automated and you are NOT diddling around on the internet, I strongly feel that you do need to spend time on the phone and you do need to return emails. You can automate 95% of it..but ultimately it’s real people interacting in real time with other real people.

    As for bookmarking others’ content… Getting your stuff bookmarked by others is one of the most powerful ways of becoming more visible to search engines. But, only the uniformed do this by hand any more. With Synnd (http://gotsynnd.info)..you can accomplish this very important task…in under 1/2 hour per day…thus keeping within the outsourcing and automating mindset.

    Looking forward to meeting you at the live event.

    Peace and Abundance,

“One day I decided to contact Mike Klingler. I had this idea and I was certain it was going to be beneficial for a lot of people. I thought he was going to think I was a little crazy – I spilled out all my ideas. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a reply. It was then that I knew I had to show Mike (Marketing Merge) what I could do…”

“We only have one physical body to do all that we do. We get one chance. When that body breaks down, life is going to come to a screeching halt. My desire is to convey simple principals and practical steps that everyone can employ to begin to take responsiblity for their own health.”

Jerry_and_Sharon_GrahamJerry & Sharon Graham are excellent examples of how to apply what you’ve learned about Attraction Marketing to unique topics.

In their case, they’ve built an audience and following by educating about wellness.

They’ll be here as an example to you in business, but also to teach you how to apply workable wellness strategies into your life to get much more results out of the time you spend on your business.

To be successful you need energy—and these simple tips will have a profound impact that you can begin applying as soon as you return home.

Listen to our interview with Jerry & Sharon (Below). Note, this audio starts out fuzzy, but gets better.

  1. I was very interested in hearing how Jerry and Sharon work with traditional businesses to set up Social Networking for them.
    I also enjoyed hearing how they combine health and wellness with helping businesses. As a passion of mine also, I fully understand how important health is to everything you do.
    It was great to hear what Jerry and Sharon will be bringing to the live event!

    Comment by Becky Joubert — December 28, 2009 @ 8:53 am

  2. Thanks Eric for introducing Jerry and Sharon to me.
    I am also in the wellness industry as a Dental Hygienist and Wellness Consultant. I have the desire to use my home based business in nutritional supplements as my vehicle to ease out of hygiene and into the health and wellness consulting business on line.
    I am more excited to be attending the live event in Portland in January!

Renegade Professional’s PBN (Professionals, Businesses and Non-Profits) is closing its doors for acceptance into the PBN Small Business Marketing Trainer/Consultant Program on 12/31/2009.

We have had an amazing turn out from individuals who have applied and that have been accepted into the program; now it’s time to place a final cap on submissions to join the roster of the first group of small business marketing trainers of PBN.

Enrollment for the program will not reopen until March/April of 2010. Those who submit PBN Trainer Request applications after 12/31/2009 will need to reapply during the next open enrollment period.

Right now is still a great time to join our program, as the PBN Business Marketing Consultant Course is just beginning. You won’t be far behind at all! You’ll be just in time!!

So, get your applications in before you start partying that night—for the New Year!! There will be PLENTY of time to party after that, because once you’ve become a PBN Trainer, you’ve automatically set yourself up for a phenomenal 2010!!

So, What Is It About Being A PBN Trainer That’s Got People So Excited? Quite a bit– I Must Say!

Great People to Work With:
The PBN Trainers are some of the most amazing people on the planet! There’s so much talent and energy flowing out and all around them.  They definitely know their business fields and have the experience and passion to help business owners within their business area of specialty, market their businesses effectively.  I truly enjoy working with each of them.

Comprehensive Small Business Marketing Education:
PBN Trainers are provided with a complete business marketing curriculum that prepares them to effectively market their business field of expertise and choice.  For example we have trainers who have years of experience in industries such as Alternative health, Dentistry, Legal, Accounting, Physical Therapy, Mental Health, Retail, Landscaping, Interior Design, Real Estate and more.

PBN Trainers are able to take their existing knowledge of their business field and enhance their skills in the area of business marketing for that field. They learn how to do so as a PBN Trainer in our Small Business Marketing Consultant Program. Not only do PBN Trainers become consultants and learn how to help other business owners with business marketing implementation, but they also learn how to market themselves, to generate additional income into their existing businesses– whatever business it is.

The program provides clear, systematic, business marketing direction—and know-how.  The course teaches effective marketing strategies; making implementation of the training provided in the Marketing Tutorials area of your Renegade Professional back office—Simple and focused.

The PBN Small Business Marketing Consultant curriculum teaches the process of the PBN Small Business Marketing System and shows how to implement it.  Course material includes the best strategies for performing market research to position yourself in your market, effective marketing tools and materials, PBN video content creation training, PBN Business Marketing Consultant education – how to become a sought after marketing consultant, and how to build and grow a desirable Business Marketing Consultant Practice.  A high demand consulting business that has people tripping over chairs to work with you!  The program takes you through the steps to accomplish this.

Since PBN Trainers are already armed with the knowledge and experience of their business industry, they are half way there– making their own marketing efforts enjoyable because they are able to plug into a simple turnkey business marketing system that is designed for any business field to implement.

A Unique Opportunity to Enhance Existing Skills:
A major benefit in becoming a PBN Trainer is that, in our program you will develop new business marketing skills that will allow you to be more marketable and desirable in your past or existing business industry. Why? Because traditional, small business owners in your business field, are aware of how beneficial it is to hire a qualified Small Business Marketing Consultant that actually specializes in their business field. That’s the difference… PBN Trainers are experts. They know and speak the “language” of their business field; so the marketing strategies and campaigns that they teach to their clients will ALWAYS be spot on!  PBN Trainers benefit in having a unique ability to boost their credibility as a PBN Trainer for Renegade Professional.  You must have a certain level of credibility for anyone to do business with you.

Independence & Flexibility– PBN Trainers Are Always In the Driver’s Seat:
PBN encourages Trainers to maximize revenue in their existing businesses by creating multiple streams of income.  Becoming a PBN Consultant shows you how to do so– on your own terms– the way YOU want.  It’s YOUR business.  And that’s the great thing about it all, many of our trainers have been in their business field for years, and although they continue to enjoy their professions, some have reached a point where they have become more interested in the marketing side of it all.  This is where PBN comes in.  We show you how to effectively build that area of your business out– you learn how to customize your training/ consulting so that it aligns with what you are doing in your business.

PBN Trainers have the option to work from home, and they have the option to work in office, as a business marketing consultant—for a company in which they choose.  Independence and flexibility the entire time they grow their business. The PBN Program itself is designed for people to learn at their own pace.

Access to THE GREEN ROOM:
The PBN Small Business Marketing Consultant course material is located in THE GREEN ROOM —You may have heard of it. It has quickly started to create a buzz!! It is our PBN Trainer Access Only area located in the Renegade Professional back office. You will be granted access to THE GREEN ROOM upon acceptance into the program. THE GREEN ROOM is where our PBN Trainer Super Stars learn, develop and grow.  As a PBN Trainer, you are also given access, and are able to interact altogether, in our PBN Trainer Support Forum where tons of support, guidance—and networking takes place!  We all are really getting to know one another, we all support and work with each other. That makes the environment such a great place to build—together.

  2. Hi Patrice,

    From the first moment you mentioned PBN, I knew it was a good idea. I truly believe that we are at the start of something amazing with PBN:

    - the economy will drive an entrepreneurial wave
    - the Web 2.0 changes to the internet bringing down the cost of marketing our own business small business
    - the incredible Renegade Professional training
    - PBN delivering the benefits to our own targeted occupations.

    From my research, it’s rare to find any business in my sector that is truly clued up about internet marketing – the potential customer base is enormous.

    You are training us how to tap that potential (and at the moment that training is free!!!) How good is that?

    Here’s to an amazing 2010!

    Mark

  3. Working with PBN has certainly be an incredible experience. With amazing leaders in Patrice Walker and Michael Wilson we are learning how to be marketing consultants in our areas of expertise. It’s truly been an experience of a lifetime and I can’t wait for what’s to come in our training.

  4. When I submitted my application for PBN, I couldn’t have possibly know what was ahead for me. I had researched many internet based programs to learn how to have an online business before I came upon Renegade Pro and PBN. As part of the PBN Trainers team, I know the search is over.

    The PBN Trainer team immediately became an extended “family”. We support and congratulate one another through each step and each success.

    Patrice Walker is a fantastic woman. She shows her support at every turn and her actions speak loud and clear. She has a vision and wants us to succeed with her! Being a part of this program has already proven beneficial, and we’re just getting started. Watch out 2010!

  5. Hello Patrice, I just started Coaching Cognition and my peer Coach Jack Rosenberg just told me about
    PBN. It looks like I have missed the deadline.:-(
    I would love to get into this area of Renegade. Actually this was more what I had in mind when going into Coaching. I would like a spot in “Healthcare” Segment, ‘Radiology’ Expertise, particularly with the new Digital Imaging,
    CT, MRI, Women’s Imaging…and many more New areas of Radiology Imaging. Please keep me informed. Looks Awesome! wahoomq2@hotmail.com , 603-995-9430

If you can go to an event like this and pull out one thing, I’ve had people give me little
pointers and hints that literally made me an extra 50K in a year – in a ten second conversation.

“If you can go to an event like this and pull out one thing, I’ve had people give me little pointers and hints that literally made me an extra 50K in a year – in a ten second conversation.”

Ty_TribbleTy Tribble is an Internet entrepreneur and Work At Home Dad who lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife, Richelle and two children, Emma and Tyler.

Ty has been featured in Entrepreneur, Success From Home and Your Business At Home magazine and is considered by many as the # 1 blogger in the world on the subject of Network Marketing. An early adopter of Web 2.0 and Social Media marketing, Ty has been called one of the 52 brightest minds in Network Marketing along with Robert Kiyosaki and Paul Zane-Pilzer.

At the first Renegade Annual Live Event, Ty will be talking about the power of Multiple Streams of Leads and How to go from networking nobody to six-figure guru status in just 12 months.

Listen to our interview with Ty Tribble (Below)

Don’t miss your chance to meet and collaborate with the leaders and rising stars. Go now to purchase your ticket to the first ever Renegade Professional Live Event.

The return on your investment could easily be 100-fold, with so much learned in such a short period of time (a weekend)…

Because nothing compares to being able to get to KNOW these people who have done it, who ARE doing it… to talk with them personally, to ask questions directly, to dialogue, to get to spend hours upon hours with them to specifically narrow down your own vision and plans.

It WILL BE priceless!

  1. Awesome interview! Great job Eric for letting us all connect with Ty! Ty is an amazing leader and we can all learn a lot from him and his experiences in business online and offline, network and online marketing.

    I am excited to meet Ty in person for the first time at the live event and learn from his presentation.

    I totally agree with him that it’s one thing connecting with people online, and it’s a whole other experience meeting people in person. I was to a great event just a couple or three months ago and the rewards from it I can’t even begin to describe or amount to anything monetarily.

    Just one example of the many wonderful people I met there was that I connected with an amazing leader I had been following for years, Ellie Drake, who now is contributing a lot value to our Renegade Professional community and the Coaching Cognition course because of that connection I made with her. It’s priceless.

    I encourage anyone who hasn’t reserved their seat yet for our First Renegade Live Event to do so right away, until there are still spots available. Even, if you are participating in the contest you can continue doing so but buy your ticket so that you don’t lose your spot. (if you win you will get your money back)

    I am so looking forward to meeting everyone. It’s exciting.

  2. Good and interesting interview, as a new and struggling networker, I use these videos as inspiration.

    I am way up in northern Canada so attending the upcoming event won’t be possible for me at this time.

  3. Eric and Ty Thank You, Thank You.
    Ty I have heard a lot of good things about you. Your integrity in “the business” is a great example to all of us.
    I think I heard some things in this interview that I could make an extra 50K with :) Yes this will be an awesome event and a time a relationship building.
    Looking forward to it.

  4. Eric thanks for bringing this interview to the Renegade community’s attention. I’ve seen and heard Ty Tribbles name frequently throughout the network marketing industry but was not that familiar with him.

    I picked up some pointers just from this interview alone, so I can imagine what’s in store for us at the live event. I’m waiting with anticipation, see everyone next month.

    Comment by kevin thomas — December 22, 2009 @ 2:53 pm

  5. Eric: What a great idea to have the guest speakers give us a “teaser” to what we can expect at the live event. Ty, I can’t wait to meet you. I have a lot of questions. This will be a life changing event. So Eric, who is next on your list to interview?

    Comment by Lanette Passarelli — December 22, 2009 @ 8:13 pm

  6. @Lanette Passarelli,

    I SOooo want to tell you but if I did, well you know… I guess you’re just going to have to keep one eye on your inbox. hehehe.

    LOL!

  7. Wow,so many nuggets to gain from Ty!
    I agree that there is an element you gain from attending a live event that cannot be duplicated any other way. It completes your vision.
    I can’t wait to hear everything Ty will be sharing with the lucky attendees.
    Thanks Eric, for pulling this together.

    Comment by Becky Joubert — December 28, 2009 @ 9:41 am

  8. Eric and Ty, what a great way to let us know what we can look forward to at the Live Event. I can hardly wait to meet you and all the Renegade People. The Live Event will be everything that has been promised and more.

    Comment by Pam McKeen — December 29, 2009 @ 9:09 am

  9. I’m very excited for this event. I highly value Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler, the businesses they’ve built, and their knowledge. I can’t wait to hear from them and the people they’ve put together for this event.

    I’ve seen Ty all over the internet too and look forward to hearing more from him.

    Interesting that Ty mentions Ann’s people CALLING him. Mike K. also said that he CALLED Ann when he wanted to connect with her.

    I really appreciate Ty’s comments about perseverance and knowledge, too. (If I keep hearing it, maybe it will sink in.) :)

    I can’t wait to hear Ty’s tips for relationship building in network marketing.

    Eric, thanks for the great interview!

  10. Eric and Ty – great interview and tips. Loved the ideas about collaboration.

    I’m looking forward to meeting you and hearing Ty’s full presentation in Portland.

  11. Phone call from one of Ann Sieg’s inner circle. This person had the wisdom to reach out to Ty by phone. sent the physical item to him. This person stood out from the crowd by taking the extra effort to provide service and value.

    As a result, Ty became a strong and successful promoter of The Renegade Network Marketer and then Renegade Professional.

    Ty endorses bringing two great minds together to bring great value to the market Mike Klingler and Ann Sieg. Mike saw people in the community with a loss to know how to get the internet marketing done. Together he and Ann now have an incredible format for training.

    Thanks Eric, this interview does a solid job with validating Renegade Professional and all things related. I am so glad I am coming to the event.

What People Are Saying...

I stumbled across Renegade Professional about 16 months ago. I was enthused to have found it. I started to diligently study with Steve Anderson, Scott Rogers and Ann Seig.

Then I got distracted by all the other glittered training that was being offered out there, which wound up leading me NOT where I wanted to go.

Then one day I picked up one of my notebooks I had been keeping all my information in from Renegade Professional.

I begin reading through it only to discover it was what I had been looking for all the time.

So I signed up again and began a disciplined study with one of your great trainer/coaches Mike Klingler. With him, I am learning the art of internet attraction and the use of web 2.0, and how to write content for my Squidoo Lenses and blogs.

To go from not knowing about the value of internet marketing to where I can finally see the light of success, having being stuck in the old school way of network marketing, is due to the great training offered at Renegade Professional.
