I am excited to share with you all that as of a few days ago, Facebook now allows its users to broadcast their live feed in landscape mode. This is a screenshot of my test done in my private Facebook group for those wanting to learn Facebook marketing (crazy video screen saves are my specialty and even though I know how to change them, I don’t mind most of the time).
So hey- If you are used to doing it in portrait mode at least Facebook has upgraded how it looks. No more side bars in black. I like how they muted your screen on the sides. I think this is much better.
But WHY am I so excited about this? Not only because it looks better but because when you record your videos in landscape mode, it allows you to repurpose them on other platforms (upload from your phone to your youtube channel for instance, or save them for your own course later on, or your blog!
A few tips:
* Your broadcast will be in whatever direction you start it in so don’t try to move your phone in another direction (portrait vs landscape and vice versa) after you start your broadcast.
* Check your phone orientation lock prior to going live to be sure you are in the direction you want to be (I unlock my orientation before a broadcast and then turn it back on afterward otherwise my phone drives me crazy with the screen switching back and forth)
* If you forget to do this, remember you do not have to leave your broadcast on your wall. You can choose NOT to post the video after you complete it.
Another new feature is the “trim” function which allows you to do immediate editing of your live broadcast prior to saving and posting. This will be very useful if you, say, got into a conversation at the end of your broadcast that is not relevant to your topic or a dog barks too much until you got her sorted at the beginning.

Why Do People Leave Network Marketing and The Industry?
Why do people leave network marketing? Well, It happens all the time. Someone joins a company. They are all fired up and tell you that “THIS IS IT” The One they have been looking for!
OR…I cannot wait to be a Diamond!
OR…This is the best thing I’ve ever done!
And then, the next thing you know, they are posting a DIFFERENT company on their Facebook wall. Have you ever seen that? What happens to them? Have you ever done this?
Well, I can tell you one thing! It’s NOT about the Company, It’s NOT about the Products, it is all to do with the person them self. Listen to my video to find out why…
People leave the network marketing industry ALL the time because they simply do NOT know EXACTLY what to do! Period.
I’d like to share some things that will help you help them…Stay. This is not just Network Marketing for beginners, it is for anyone who may struggle with this. Because frankly, it does not matter how long you’ve been doing this, it happens.
One of the best tips I have for that is to make sure you use all of your company or team tools to help them get introduced to the company, the product and your team. Whether a person is new, or has done this before, getting introduced to the tools that your team has and actually doing the steps will help them succeed (and therefore stay). If your company does not have this tool, make one yourself. It is a critical piece to having a successful network marketing career. Let them know to contact you for an appointment at a specific point in this process.
Once they complete the first few steps, they will have called you to set up an appointment. Use this time to reaffirm and congratulate them on their decision, see where they are in their progress and to see how they are doing with the overall action plan. This is also an excellent time to talk about their expectations.
Why Do People Leave Network Marketing? – You Have False Expectations?
Expectations about exactly what do they want from this business and what are they willing to give up in order to get that. If the expectations are out of whack (I want to earn $10000 in my first 30 days, working 2 hours a week), this provides an excellent opportunity for you to help them get more realistic and provides a great mental boost to what they actually can accomplish. It is also a great time to establish your mentorship relationship, one that they will learn from you. This is an integral piece of what makes Network Marketing work: the ability to mentor and train so that your mentees can do the same with their team. It’s magical when everyone does this. And the community it builds! Wow!
So plan on spending at least 30 days with them (NOT constantly but very much available) as they begin their journey and you will be amazed at your retention rate because the number of people who STAY in the business will increase. Are you willing to do that? Are you able to do that? This is really about long-term relationship building. It’s not about just bringing people into the business and just moving on. It’s about working with your team and helping them to develop relationships while training and guiding them to their success, so that they can build their team-and their business.
So, if you have had that feeling that you want to leave network marketing, feel free to contact me so I can help you stay active and see where you are stuck.
To YOUR success,

How do You Prospect to Bring in New Customers and Clients?
When most people decide that they want to have a small business, they may not realize, at first at least, that it involves prospecting.
So what is Prospecting and how do you prospect? Entrepreneur Magazine defines it this way.
Definition: The search for potential customers or buyers .
To see more on that go to:
https://www.diannagoodsky.com/entrepreneurdefinitionofprospecting
How you choose to prospect is completely up to each one of us. You must decide which is in your best interest, but you may want to consider this and then once your decision is made, take that path and see where it leads you. To gain prospects, you may choose using online marketing or offline marketing in order to get more prospects.
How Do You Prospect Without Hassling Friends and Family?
Face it, at some point you will run out of friends and family to talk to about your business. Honestly, some people choose NEVER to talk to their friends and family. The internet has made it possible for anyone who wants to build their business never talking to their friends and family. That is powerful and this is where the power of marketing comes into play.
I want to clarify here. Prospecting is different than marketing. However, you can use marketing (especially online) TO prospect…
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me because I specialise in teaching how to prospect online and attracting new customers directly to YOU!
To YOUR success!
