We always love to see updates from Periscope as they work to compete with Facebook Live. The embed feature is one that I could not wait to try out. There is so much potential for repurposing content with this update. What I love best is that it’s very easy to do even from my iPad!

The app Periscope has introduced the world to many AWESOME people and allowed them to share their gifts with humanity. Anita Wing Lee is one of those individuals that is using platforms such as Periscope to bring stories to the world that may not have gotten told in their purest form. Following her path as a light worker, she has managed to build a pretty amazing community.
Anita will be in Atlanta for one day to share her tips on what it takes to build a community that will support your initiatives. On March 29th, those of us in and around Atlanta will have the opportunity to learn from someone who has really accomplished what so many large brands struggle with currently.
You will learn:
Note: This event is a fundraiser with all proceeds going to help Anita’s efforts in the refugee crisis. In an effort to keep the majority of her doantions going directly in to the camps, guest will have to purchase their own lunch. Valet parking is validated with the purchase of your lunch.
Periscope has presented many benefits to those that take advantage of the power of live streaming. From humanitarian work to increasing profits, we now have the ability to take our efforts globally. Recently, the team at Selsi Enterprises was discussing how great it would be to bring entrepreneurs together on a regular basis to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of entrepreneurship.
We presented the idea to Parachute TV on Periscope and a few months later, we got the green light to bring the show to life. Our first show went great and the numbers were great for our first time on their channel. We had a quiet audience in the background, but hope to bring our audiences in to the discussion. The mission of the show is for entrepreneurs to help other entrepreneurs reach their full potential.
We did a lot to prepare for the show from checking the lighting to prepping the guest. We also did a little prepromotion for the show. Prepromotion is one of this most important task to do when launching an effort like this one. Your followers may not realize what you have planned and may miss being there for the live broadcast.
I am not going to spoil the content that you are going to see in the video, but feel free to comment about additional information that you would have asked our guest. These seasoned entrepreneurs are open to sharing all that they have learned along the way.
Thank you to our friends at Sis and Moon’s for letting us come in to their space. Follow Sis an Moon’s on all social media platforms from their website www.sisandmoons.com.
The Periscope Community Summit will be here very soon. If you are not familiar with this event, take a moment to look at their website by clicking here. This event will bring together many of the top Periscopers from all around the world. Although the programming is sure to be interesting, I am most excited about connecting with other individuals that are as passionate about live streaming as I am. If you are passionate about what live streaming can do for your brand, I hope that you will join me in San Francisco.

You may have heard that Selsi Enterprises is putting together an event titled Scope Day Atlanta. This event will be the first of its kind for any city to participate in around the world. This is an event that will take place on Periscope and will highlight all of the great elements of the city of Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Scope Day was founded by a gentleman in Taiwan named Mike Lin. In a matter of 30 days, he pulled off a Scope Day that allowed people to travel around the world via their mobile devices on the app Periscope.
Here are some details about what took place on the original Scope Day:
The potential for Atlanta to be on a world stage with this effort is huge! This event will garner the attention of people globally and introduce them to a piece of Atlanta that they may not have seen. From athletes to authors, the broadcasters in this event will be amazing.
If you are live streaming and you live in Atlanta, be sure to join our Facebook group titled Atlanta Live Streamers.

World Anti Troll Day came together from an idea that Zsuzsanna Szkiba (Susie) had and brought to life with the help of her community, The BoPoTribe. From the moment she mentioned it, the BoPoTribe Ambassadors were ready to help out. This team effort came to life in a matter of weeks via Periscope, Google Hangouts, Face Time, a lot of text messages, Dropbox, and Google Drive. This was truly a virtual team working together at its finest.
If you are not familiar with World Anti Troll Day, here is a brief synopsis for the reason for the day.
Since Periscope’s beginnings, people have come on to others Scopes and made comments like ‘Open Boobs’ and ‘Sex’ just to name a few. These ideas are not only inappropriate, but they keep people from wanting to share their message on social media. These individuals that come on to someone’s Scopes and say terrible comments are called Trolls. Trolls like to stay hidden in the shadows and try to discourage others from their greatness. But, on World Anti Troll Day, we have decided to silence the Trolls.

#WATD was an Amazing Day
There were so many positive messages shared around body positivity and anti bullying. People shared their stories for 24 hours on Periscope, Blab, and several other platforms. I loved the fact that you could log in and see several scopes going at a time with the #WATD in the title. The community stepped up and I truly feel that a small dent was made to raise awareness about body shaming and cyber bullying. I also feel that the best is yet to come. Many stated in their scopes that this was only the beginning. I think what the BoPoTribe has successfuly done is to awaken people around a topic that needed this new found attention. The organization is sure to change the world!
Lesson’s learned from #WATD
Next steps
If you are not connected to the BoPoTribe, look for our group on all social platforms. You will be able to stay in the loop on what we are working on next to fight against body shaming and cyber bullying.

New York Scope Week (AKA Periscope Summit) was one of the best “conferences” that I have attended in a long time. For a first time event, this by far exceeded my expectations. Here are my top take-a-ways from the event:
If you attended the conference, please put your thoughts in the comments below. Many people have asked me why you should attend in person if you can see everything on Scope. The answer is simple…..the in real life connections are invaluable. They are worth way more then the price of the ticket. This is a conference that you want to attend in person!
OMG, the BUY button is in full effect on Pinterest Now! This can be a game changer for small and mid size brands. This gives smaller brands the ability to play along right beside the larger, more well known brands. Take a look at their introductory video:
Leave comments below once you have had an opportunity to try this out. We are looking at the payment options and comments that consumers are making about the new feature. We will be sure to update you on our findings. We also have a scheduled Periscope coming up about this topic.
