Hey guys, David Risley here with davidrisley.com, with a another ProBlogger Flip Tip for you. Now it's about ten after seven pm here in Florida, and within about 50 minute, actually earlier in this, but our official show time is at 8 pm Eastern, and this is a show that I do every once in a while at PCMechlive, which is at PCMech.com/live. Now my attempt is to other bloggers who want to help build up their Internet presence is that they actually explore doing live video, because with things like ustream.tv, it's actually really easy to do live video, and then I will also show you other alternative. I am going to just get the camera a little closer to my monitors here to show you what's going on.
Hopefully this actually looks good, but basically what we are looking at right here is one of my monitors, and it's set ustream.tv. Initial name is simply PCMech LIVE and you will see that I have got a little header there, and the whole nine yards, and then right here is actually a chatroom, and then over on this side is actually live them will go.
Now what I have done is, since we are not actually broadcasting live right now, but it's basically using a series of slides that I entered into the profile, that's just alternating between these things. What you can see is, that I have actually made each slides, at for PCMech, whether it be the store orr the newsletter or whatever. So this is you know when I am actually broadcasting, obviously I will show up right there.
Now I have got another thing going on here at Mogulus.com. Yeah, Mogulus.com and the channel name is just PCMech here. Now what you are actually seeing here is some of our PCMech YouTube videos. Actually running in succession. I think there are about ten of them queued up. So we actually have something playing here, even though we are not actually live, but when we go live for the show tonight, you are going to see it once again, me and Rich, sitting in that empty space, but when we are not online, you are going to see videos which is really, really cool.
So that's Mogulus.com, again, it's also free. Their interface is much heftier than ustream. They got some things that quite frankly I don't care for when compared to ustream, but it's pretty good. And as you go up here, up, right up to the top of the monitors, is you are going to see two webcams. One of them connects over to my Mac Mini, which is going be streaming to ustream, and the other one streams to Mogulus.com via my Mac Pro.
So basically we are simulcasting to both Mogulus and ustream the same exact time, and they pretty much seem the exact same thing. So that's what I do, the live stream every Wednesday night. Get the camera back over here. So you might want to think about it. I mean you know doing videos is awesome. I do recommend that you do online videos, kind of what you are watching right now. You know do this for your own blog, but you have services out there that you can do live video with, and some of them even record the live video, and then turn it into a recording.
Now I have had mixed experiences with that, don't expect it to work that great all the time. These are free services, so you basically take when you can get, but definitely explore, because that's really the cool thing you can do. So that's the ProBlogger Flip Tip # 3, and for more just stay tuned to davidrisley.com.
