7 Ways to Repurpose Your Facebook Live, Create Authority in your Niche and Make more Bank!
First, let me guess, it’s been a couple of years since you learnt about facebook live video, you jumped in with both feet or just started tentatively, on and off recently.
You have no clue what you really are gaining with this FB Live trend for your blog posts, webinars and products! You’ve learnt a lot, but you haven’t made any returns on the investments you’ve put in. You’re online business feels more like an online hobby despite all the time and money you’ve poured into it. Perhaps that job isn’t looking so bad after all… At least you get weekends off, PAID holidays, sick leave and other benefits. You watch your friends go out clubbing, parties, movies etc., and you are glued to your PC weekends and evenings trying to build that list, biz and make some income… Does it feel like this ‘Facebook Live Video’ thing is an exclusive club that you’re never going to get membership to – but you keep applying anyway? You’ve got pieces of a Social Media Marketing puzzle scattered all around, but missing that one piece that is the KEY to figuring it all out. I get it… And let me tell you it’s not your fault. There are A LOT of pieces that have to link in just the right order for this whole online and facebook marketing thing to work. |
Well I have been there and I know your pain.
I’ve spent the last 2.5 years working with clients who have successfully taken their OFFLINE skills via LIVE Video to Online Expertise.
One client went from STARTUP TO COMMANDING CLIENTELE AND SENDING SOME AWAY in 3 months and is impacting lives by turning her knowledge and expertise into an online program. All the while being there for her children and family.
See, I know your pain, because I jumped into Facebook live video myself, with no clear PLAN or Strategy why I was doing them. Other than my mentors and people I looked up to were doing them, so why not me?
It seemed a great way to reach more people, maybe get some traffic, could I even build my list maybe? Plus who doesn’t like the popularity and social proof…
Then #RealityCheck1…. Were these live videos making bank for me? Not at all for the first 8 months….WHY?
Because I didn’t have a plan or real Solid Trackable Goal for them?
I am sure you can relate and are possibly in the same spot.
#RealityCheck2 … What is Facebook’s long term agenda for videos? We all know how YouTube got us all on there, then changed algorithm! and now you gotta pay to play. To get any kind of views to your video or spend your life on YouTube Syndication Groups trying to get your video to look like it gets a ton of views…still no sales huh! Facebook has an AGENDA..so watch the space and Leverage the FREE LIVE VIDEO while you got it!
So when the penny dropped I sought help and have since learnt amazing ways to make my Facebook Live video profitable…And thus I am sharing with you the various ways to repurpose your facebook live for longer term results. Before I do…

7 ways to Repurpose your Facebook Live & Increase Brand Authority!
#1. To repurpose your Facebook Live Video you gotta Download It. Very important, you now own your IP. Until you do this, Facebook owns your video and can delete, use it or even block you from accessing it…
Haven’t you had an experience where your video disappears from your Newsfeed and you find a notification from FB that it contravenes some convoluted FB law or you used Copyrighted music…I rest my case.
So immediately I am done with a live broadcast, we get to work immediately downloading it. Nothing else matter before this…(Well apart from family and life lol).
Don’t leave it to chance, you dont own Facebook. Download to your Cloud space or an external drive…I will be talking about these in the resources Section Below!
To download your Video: go to Your Personal Profile or Page depending on where you did the Livestream. Click on the video like you are going to watch the replay. Three little dots appear on the right side. Click on them and click Download SD on the drop down menu
If done in Profile, click on “More” on your profile. A drop down menu appears, Click on Videos and Go to “Your Videos.” Click on the “Pencil sign” on any video you wish to download. Save your video to cloud space or external drive to reduce on resources on your PC. Job done.
If you did your Live Stream on your Page, Simply click on Videos on the Side Navigation panel of your page, Find the video you wish to download. Follow instructions to download above.
#2. Transcribe your Live – we use temi.com and it costs $0.10 pence/minute. Thus a 30 min broadcast will cost £3. Many people recommend Rev.com because they have no clue that Temi exists. Rev costs $1/minute so a 30 minute video will cost you $30. See the massive saving…You are not in the business of Multiple streams of spending, so leverage temi… Plus you have better things to do with your time so dont spend hours trying to transcribe it yourself. #Youarewelcome
Now you have your video in written format. You should of course edit this transcript, lots of little typos you will find.
[clickToTweet tweet=”You are not in the business of Multiple streams of spend #contentmarketing” quote=”You are not in the business of Multiple streams of spend”]
If you are a blogger you have your blog post draft, add some imagery and you are good to go…So simple!

Finally, you can use that transcript to Add Captions to your Video – doesn’t always work in personal profile or even page! But hey, captions hypnotize and captivate your audience. Best for shorter videos under 10 minutes, so go for it.
#4. You can repurpose your Facebook live into a Podcast – you need editing software for this.

Super tips Julie! I took my foot off the Facebook Live video pedal – time to promote my flagship eBook freely and dive into blog commenting full bore – but the download tip is pure gold because I have 500 plus Live videos waiting for repurposing. At the least I can download one by one and upload to YouTube. I did this a few times in the past when pressed for time. But knowing I have year’s worth of content in my creations on FB Live excites me. The power of leveraging! Thanks much for sharing my friend 🙂

Hey Ryan,
I understand why you took the finger off the FB Live Ball, You go where your heart feels most Impactful for your audience and I agree with your decision on that front.
That said, Video is still the fastest way to connect with your audience outside of belly to belly meetups. Yet your style works and that I respect 100% plus over 500 Videos, woot, you have a mother load man! 😉
