How to prepare for a LIVE
Set a topic, prep one story, test your lighting and audio, and have a clear reason people should stay.
How to choose a LIVE topic
Pick something your audience already asks about. Make the topic the title.
How to title your LIVE
Lead with the outcome. 'How to find your niche in 10 minutes' beats 'LIVE with me'.
How to welcome viewers
Greet by name early. Acknowledge joins. Make the first 60 seconds feel like a conversation.
How to avoid awkward silence
Have 3 conversation starters ready. Narrate what you're doing. Ask a question and wait.
Conversation starters
Keep a bank of 10 questions. Rotate them. Reuse what works.
How to interact with chat
Read aloud, answer in order, and call out names. Chat is the show.
How to create recurring shows
Same time, same topic family. Repetition builds the habit for you and your viewers.
How to build community on LIVE
Create inside jokes, name your regulars, and give people a reason to return.
How to encourage followers naturally
Don't beg. Give a reason to follow: 'follow for tomorrow's breakdown'.
How to structure a 60-minute LIVE
10 min welcome → 30 min main topic → 15 min Q&A → 5 min next-step CTA.
How to review LIVE analytics
Check peak viewers, watch time and new followers. Note what you'll change next time.
