Live video streaming could double your business within the next 12 months, and LinkedIn provides an unfair advantage when executing this strategy. With conversion rates of 10-30% (compared to typical 1-3%), live video represents the blue ocean opportunity that most of your competitors will never pursue.

Why Live Video Is Your Hedge Against AI
Here's the uncomfortable truth: your prospects are going to start questioning whether content is real.With AI-generated video becoming indistinguishable from reality, the feed will fill with synthetic content. Viewers will develop higher levels of distrust. The responsibility falls on YOU to prove:
The solution? Live video. It's the ultimate proof of authenticity.
The Blue Ocean Math
Out of 5.4 billion people on social media:If you go live monthly: Top 0.3-0.5% of all social media users globally If you go live weekly: Top 0.05-0.1% If you go live daily: Virtually no competition
Your competitors probably won't do it. And if they try, they'll underestimate the skill required to master it.
Running the Numbers: Two Business Models
Business Model 1: $1,000 Product with Landing Page
Baseline (no live video):Add one monthly live event (50 attendees):

- Personality matters: Not everyone has the presence for live video
"A lot of the people will opt out from the get-go."
The realest people, who want the best for their audience, who show up consistently—they're the ones who will win.
The Skill Development Timeline
Your first live probably won't convert well. That's expected.Realistic progression:
This is why starting NOW matters. By the time competitors realize this strategy works, you'll have a year's head start on the skillset.
Beyond the Event: Amplification
The numbers above don't account for:You can also amplify your events through:
Start Monthly, Build to Weekly
The recommendation is clear:Phase 1: Go live monthly for the first 3-6 months Phase 2: Build up to weekly
"Going live monthly and building up to weekly within the first three to six months is as powerful as if you would've started your personal brand 10 years ago."
The Bottom Line
None of your competitors are doing this. That's insane when you look at the numbers.One monthly live video event can be worth:
The tools exist. The platform advantage is real. The only question is whether you'll execute before your competition catches on.
