7-Day Live Video Challenge
Go live every day for 7 days — May 11–17, 2026
It’s time to go live.
Here’s the truth: live streaming is the last thing we have that AI can’t manufacture. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s the single best way to build genuine connections with your audience right now.
And I want to challenge you to do it for just seven days.
No scripts. No perfection required. Just you, showing up live every day from May 11–17—and we’ll celebrate together on May 18th.
You in?
How to get ready in 3 steps
1. Register for the challenge
After you sign up, you’ll immediately receive a confirmation email with a welcome video from Pat Flynn to get you prepared and excited for May 11th.
2. Set Up Ecamm (Mac) or Restream (PC)
For Mac users
Ecamm is the live streaming tool we recommend and use ourselves. It’s simple to start, professional from day one, and grows with you as you get more comfortable.
- Download your free trial at smartpassiveincome.com/ecamm — no credit card required
- At checkout, use promo code LIVESPI to get your first month free (new customers only)
- Get familiar with the basics before May 11th — you don’t need to master every feature, just enough to go live
For PC users
We recommend Restream.io as a great alternative for going live on YouTube and other platforms.
- Set up your YouTube connection and do a quick test stream before May 11th
- Visit Restream.io to create your free account.
3. Prepare Your YouTube Channel
- Make sure your YouTube channel is set up and enabled for live streaming
- Decide what you’ll talk about — a Q&A, a topic you know well, or simply your story. Plan for a daily commitment of 5-10mins (or more if you’re feeling it). Don’t overthink it.
- Show up on May 11th and hit go live. That’s it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any live streaming experience?
None at all. This challenge is designed for beginners. If you’ve never gone live before, you’re exactly who this is for.
How long do I need to go live each day?
Just 5–10 minutes is enough. The goal is to show up consistently, not to put on a production. Some days you’ll do more—and that’s great. But five minutes counts.
What do I talk about when I go live?
Keep it simple. Host a Q&A, share something you know well, or just introduce yourself and your journey. The whole point is to get out of your own way and start building real connections with your audience.
What if I miss a day?
Don’t quit. Just pick up where you left off and keep going. Progress matters more than perfection.
Is Ecamm only for Mac?
Yes, Ecamm requires macOS 11.2 or newer.
Is there a cost to join?
Zero. The challenge is completely free. Just sign up, get set up, and show up.
