Interaction & Fan Management
Interaction
Interaction
Interaction is the utmost important thing in your live stream. If you want to get more viewers and keep them all throughout your LIVE STREAM, make sure to interact with them as much as possible.
One way of increasing engagement and interaction is simply through questions and answers.
Encouraging the viewers to ask questions throughout the broadcast makes them feel like they are a part of it.
It also drives other people to join the LIVE.
