TappyBee’s YouNow Tips!
Check out this awesome YouTube video by YouNower Tapiwa Bururu. She gives some great tips for new and current broadcasters on on YouNow.com.
Here are TappyBee’s Twelve YouNow Tips:
1) Always be prepared when coming on to broadcast. Whether you have a topic planned or you plan to sing a song. Make sure it is all prepared before hand so you can have a smooth broadcast!
2) Don’t rush people off to go live. Let everyone take the time they need to broadcast.
3) Be considerate for the amount of people in the queue. If 50 people are waiting you don’t want to be on too long.
4) Be nice in the chat. If you tell people to vote down they will remember and may vote you down for that reason.
5) Don’t beg for fans. It’s ok to mention it once or twice but you should earn your fans and let them become a fan of you when they are ready.
6) Besides broadcasting you should interact in the chat and with the YouNow community. This way you can build friendships and they will vote you up when you come on.
7) Appreciate your fans and the gifts they give you. Thank them whenever you can. You should also mention them when they become fans. And when they ask you questions try your best to answer them.
8) Give people at least three minutes to see if they are interesting or not. Everyone should get a chance.
9) Don’t let the haters get you down. If you get voted down just keep coming back in the queue. Show them you will not give up.
10) Watch the site to see when haters are at their lowest and highest. Try to broadcast when a lot of your friends are on so this way you can stay on and have fun!
11) Be safe and if people ask for your phone number don’t give It to them. Also don’t give out your location and other personal information. You have to be as safe as possible.
12) And last but not least just be you, Don’t be fake because people can see through that.
Don’t forget to check out our other blog posts with broadcast tips. Check them out below.
