[00:30] Happy Birthday to Melissa! [01:00] How do you pick your ice cream cone? [01:43] Tuesday was with serial-ass entrepreneur Patrick Siles. [02:00] Patrick came to us from Hawk Mikado. [02:50] The story how Patrick became an entrepreneur. [03:25] Last Minutes Inc. [03:40] Patrick started over 7 different companies. [04:14] Patrick's first success was in supplements, but now he's doing vid-alytics. [05:00] Video is really a big part of marketing [05:25] vid-alytics came from a need in the market for good analytics. [06:11] Melissa really likes ice cream. [06:26] Analytics are skewed for videos right now, but vid-alytics gives you specific video feedback. [07:12] Why are you doing a 5-minute video if the majority only watch 1 minute? [07:30] Start with video, and you can reverse engineer that into other content. [07:50] Video is too complicated, so most people don't have the time to do it. [08:10] Today's Moment of Italian [08:30] The Creative Hustler was forced into being comfortable in front of the camera. [09:10] Follow The Creative Hustler on Facebook to find out when we go live. [09:28] In the digital world, the video is accepted, but business owners are more hesitant to do video. [10:25] Shoutout to Auguste Crenshaw, Analysis Paralysis with video. [10:48] If you have a lifestyle type of brand, get out there and go live! [11:15] Incorporate your life into your live videos. [12:00] Video is where it is at - how do you utilize analytics on videos? [12:45] YouTube is saturated with a bunch of people trying to sell something. [13:00] Melissa uses YouTube for the wings on her eyes. [13:55] No matter what your #CreativeHustle is, you should be giving people a peek into your life. [14:30] Patrick was a digital nomad. [14:55] Bailey Richert and Patrick Siles both hit countries equal to their ages. [15:35] Working with your spouse is awesome and challenging. [16:00] Working with your spouse challenging your patience and communication, and sometimes you need space. [16:40] Normally, Steven has a pot of coffee before 7:30 am. [17:17] Sometimes it takes you awhile to understand how your spouse works. [17:55] Sometimes you need to talk it out, and other times you need to focus. [18:22] Patrick's wife was working on captions for a Spanish Soap Opera, and Patrick needed help with admin stuff. [19:00] It's challenging to work with your spouse because you spend so much time with them. [19:40] Patrick, do you speak Spanish? [20:00] Struggle for #CreativeHustlers, all our good friends live far away. [20:44] We're all just a URL link away from a video conference. [21:11] We could talk to Joseph Kennedy or John Bertino at any point. [21:40] Lina Sanden is making an album with musicians from around the world. [21:55] We're able to create without borders. [22:15] vid-alytics work with embed codes on your website only. [23:15] Always put the videos on your website, because from SEO perspective you might rank. [24:00] YouTube can get clients taken away from your brand. [24:20] Always make sure you have an embed code that people can share on their website, with a link back to your site. [25:00] I wonder if vid-alytics would get stats on videos installed on multiple pages. [26:00] Hypothetically it should read analytics from multiple different websites. [26:26] The most important video is that your page speed is fast enough because 2 minutes of delay can mean millions of dollars lost. [27:30] Our podcast is hosted on LibSyn which then imports to our website so you don't have to host the content on your website. This is important. [28:25] WP Engine is where we moved our website to have more space. [28:47] If you want to know about Alan's plug in, tweet us, Facebook us, or email us!
