Becoming a live broadcaster might be intimidating for many. However, if you plan your live broadcast you’ll find live streaming to be easy. Don’t expect your 1st videos to be perfect. There are many that go live and are great off the cuff, However, if that’s not you, here are a few tips.
- Consider pre-marketing your broadcast via email or social media. Announce when you’ll go live.
- Make sure you have a strong connection – nothing like going live and you drop the broadcast.
- Remind your viewers to subscribe to your broadcasts and share with their friends.
- Write down talking points so you have something to bring your ideas back to memory.
- Thank your followers and acknowledge them by name. You can do this before the broadcast starts, during the broadcast or at the end. Do what make sense for your business.
- Always thank people for watching and ask them to come back.
- The more you go live the more followers you’ll get. So, “Go Live Often”.
- The longer you broadcast you’ll reach more people. Look at your analytics and go live when your followers are online.
