- As a content creator
it's important that you make it easy for people to find you,
it's important that you make it easy for people
to consume as much of your content as possible,
it's important that you make it easy for people
to find you on other social media platforms as well,
and it's important to make sure
that you're representing yourself in a professional way.
I'm gonna show you an easy way to do all of that
and we're starting right now.
(upbeat hip hop music)
Okay so the thing that I'm getting ready to show you
is put together by Streamlabs
and if you've watched any of my previous Streamlabs videos,
you're gonna catch on pretty quick that Streamlabs
is doing everything that they can to help creators
earn a living from what it is that they love to do.
And what I'm getting ready to show you is no different
and as I'm going through it, I'm going to explain to you
why certain parts are important and things like that,
but the idea here is basically
to have one singular place online
that consolidates all of your online stuff
so that when people come and find you,
like let's say potential brands or sponsors,
then it basically makes it easy for them to figure out
what it is that you're about.
And this is something that a lot of content creators
have trouble with because typically,
it's a really complicated thing
but Streamlabs has made it extremely easy,
so let's head over the computer
so I can show you exactly what it is that I'm talking about
so you don't have to wait any longer.
Okay and here we are in front of the computer,
the very first thing that I did
is I went over to streamlabs.com
and I logged into my account there.
If you're a livestreamer,
I'm sure you're probably already a part of Streamlabs,
if not, you need to be,
so make sure that you head over there and create an account.
But once I'm inside of my account,
basically I can click on My Website right here, okay?
And basically when I click on this,
it's going to take me into an editor.
Now check out how cool this is.
So inside of this editor, you can see
that I have some predefined things here on the page.
Now what we were talking about before
with making it easy for people to find you
and things like that,
right here let's say that I embed my livestream here, okay,
which I'm going to do.
Let's say that I embed my livestream here,
then while people are watching my livestream here
on this page that I set up and that I direct people to,
they're gonna see an option down here
to where they can buy my merch,
to where they can donate to me directly
right here on page, right,
so this is gonna help anybody that uses this,
this is gonna help you make more money.
Now in addition to that, this is gonna help you
grow your followers on other platforms as well
because right next to that we have this panel over here
to where you know we have the YouTube account
where they can subscribe there,
we've got Twitter, Instagram, Discord,
so this is gonna help me send more people
into the Nimminati Discord which is gonna be great
and it's gonna help me grow my followings
in the other platforms as well
while people are watching me live.
So basically they don't have to leave YouTube for it,
they don't have to do anything,
all they have to do is scroll down
and they're gonna see this other stuff
where they can donate, buy merch,
or they can connect with me on other social media platforms
which is a win all the way around for everybody.
So with this not only they're helping you make more money
but they're helping you get more followers elsewhere
which is a humongous win.
If you look over here in the top left,
this is something that's really cool also.
So if you click on Domain,
if you've watched any of my other videos,
you hear me say that it's important to make sure
that you get the .com for your channel name
and the reason for that is basically protecting your brand.
So one of the things that you can do here is one,
just with a couple of clicks
you can get your domain name through Streamlabs
or you can also get an additional name,
let's say that you already have a domain name
to where you can just forward like in this case
how they recommend the watchnicknimmin.live
to where you can just click on that
and you can go through the process
of getting that domain name so that it's live specific
so your livestreams
you'd be able to send people to this page for example.
It's also helping you protect your brand
and it's also making it easy to get the name
so you don't have to go through
a long complicated process in order to do it.
So next in terms of how easy this is to use,
let's say over here on the left hand side,
let's say we click on design.
Then what I can do as I start scrolling down this
is let's say for example I'm like hey you know,
this background would look better
if it was like a different color,
I wanted to build the colors around my brand,
then in that particular case,
I could do that here and all I have to do
is just click on it and then I can change the colors
and as soon as I click off, it's done, it's already changed
and I don't have to mess with it,
it's really easy to set up which is cool
if you don't know how to build websites and things like that
because it can get pretty complicated.
But through this on the design side,
you can make changes to pretty much any aspect of this
in terms of how it looks, the colors that you're using,
the fonts and things like that
so that you can create it where it's on brand.
Now another thing that I want you to see
in terms of just how easy this is to use
is if you look down here, right,
like I can just click here and I can build out sections
based on what it is that I want to put in those sections.
So right here I'm just gonna click
on the drag a component option here in this box
'cause it's already here
and I'm gonna go up here to the contact form
because let's say a brand wants to contact you, right,
you wanna make it easy for them
to be able to find you and contact you.
So because of that, we've got this right here
to where I'm gonna click here
and I'm actually going to make this a little bit bigger
so that I can make sure that I fit the form in
and then I'm gonna close that and then it's done.
Right, so it's not a complicated process,
it's really, really easy to make it easy for you
to make more money, to get more followers,
and of course if somebody wants to contact you
to collaborate, somebody wants to contact you
to work out some type of deal or something like that,
it's easy, right, it's that one central location
where they can do all of those things for you.
Now if you're a livestreamer,
this whole thing gets leveled up
because here you can also add
like your livestreaming schedule, if you want,
to where it's gonna countdown
until the next livestream that you do,
you can add like your full Twitter feed in here,
you can add your Twitch panel, any of that stuff.
Now one thing that I am gonna do with this personally
is I'm actually gonna take this schedule here
and I'm just gonna drag it down to this bottom area, right,
so I have that schedule taking up that whole span
and then I'm gonna move the contact form over here
and then in this area I'm actually gonna put some text here.
One of the things that you can do here
is you can turn this area into a thing
where you tell about your channel
and what it is you're doing,
the mission that you're on and those sorts of things,
so that if a brand comes here
or somebody comes here that wants to collaborate,
then you're telling them a little bit about yourself
and you're telling them what it is that you have to offer
so that they get a little bit of information about you
before they actually contact you which is also a win.
Now another thing that's really cool with this
is if you are directing traffic to this
or you're wanting to make it easy
for people to find you in Google, for example,
then they also have an SEO Settings area
to where you can go in here,
you can upload a Favicon which is basically
a little icon that shows up here on your website
and then of course you can optimize your title
and your description and your keywords
which are just like YouTube tags
when it comes to actually optimizing your website
so that people can find you easily and search as well.
So you can tell people, hey Google me
and then this will actually come up.
Now part of this also is, you know,
you might be using like your Gmail account, for example,
and you are trying to contact brands
through your Gmail account.
Now one thing that this will help you do also
is when you do choose your particular domain name,
whatever that happens to be for you,
whichever one you decide to go with,
then you can actually forward any emails that come from this
into a specific account.
So you can connect this to your Gmail
in order to be able to make yourself
look a little bit more professional
because you have an actual domain name
that you're sending your emails from.
And another thing that I wanna show you
inside of the Content section that's really cool
is you see here where I can add a page or an external link?
Let's say that in addition to the monetization
that you're doing here,
let's say that you also have a Patreon account,
or let's say that you have something else
that you sell or that you want people to know about,
another website, right, let's say that you just build
this is your livestreaming area
but you have another website that you want people
to be able to go to as well,
you can actually add that right here
and turn it into a clickable link
that will show up right up here in the very top
of your navigation panel.
Something else that's cool is let's say
that you sometimes you stream to YouTube,
sometimes you stream to Twitch, right?
One thing you can do here
is you can go into your General Settings
and you can actually, once you connect your accounts,
you can just turn them off and on.
So then that way instead of having to go through
a big lengthy process in order to do this,
all you have to do is you just click
on whichever one you wanna be on
and then that's the one that's going to be showing
right here in your livestream box, for example.
And in the typical fashion of Streamlabs,
they've also done something really cool here
because I know that, you know,
even though this is extremely easy
but you might be looking at this thinking like,
huh, you know, I don't know how to actually
make everything look right,
what if I pick the wrong colors and things like that?
Well, just like they do
with all of their livestreaming options
to where inside of Streamlabs OBS
they have the themes built in,
they have that same exact thing here
for the websites as well.
So as an example, if I wanna click on the classic,
I can just apply that theme
and then it's going to give me the classic look
that I can build all of my items into.
And right now they have a great selection
of really nice-looking themes to help you get started
so you can represent yourself in the right way
but just like they do inside of Streamlabs OBS,
if you're livestreaming, you're familiar with that,
just like they do inside of Streamlabs OBS,
I'm sure they'll be adding more themes to this over time.
In my situation, I'm gonna go with the Night Theme
just 'cause I like the dark mode of pretty much everything.
Okay, so now this is a preview of what it looks like
after I've tinkered around with it just a little bit
and you can see right here
that if somebody comes to nimminlive.stream
that now and I did that with one click,
I just chose the name, did it with one click,
actually it was two clicks
because I had to confirm that I wanted to use that name
but basically with this, nimminlive.stream
and it's ready to go.
And then now my website is live right here on the internet,
you can actually go to this right now
and you're gonna see this page.
So what I did is I messed with it a little bit,
I added a background image,
I changed the opacity here in the background
of the actual boxes,
I changed up, you know, a few of the things
but this is just a really quick thing
that literally took me, I don't know,
maybe five minutes to put together
and part of that was actually hunting down
that background image (laughs)
but you can see here to where the actual livestream itself,
if I was live on Twitch, 'cause this one right now
is connected to my Twitch account,
but basically if I were to be live on Twitch right now,
it would be showing right here.
And check this out, this is something that's really cool.
If I click on this little tab here, boom,
it opens up the chat for my Twitch as well.
So basically if somebody's watching my livestream here,
then they can actually participate in the chat
just like they would if they were
on my Twitch or YouTube channel.
This is another thing that Streamlabs has done
to help you earn more money, help you get more followers,
help you basically secure an online property for yourself
so that you can start building your brand
and be more professional with being a content creator
or a livestreamer.
Just so you know, this is a paid thing
and inside the video itself,
I'm not gonna say the actual amount
because that might change over time
and this video is gonna be online forever,
so because of that, I'm not gonna give you the exact amount
but I'm gonna put a link down in the description below
so you can actually head over to their website
and check out all the details for yourself.
