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.

YouNow’s May Rewards Program
Mark your calendars because starting May 1st YouNow will begin the new Reward Program! Things are a little different so pay attention. Also, those of you who are viewers and don’t broadcast often can win prizes!
Starting May 1st until May 31 (or until supplies last) all of you guys will be able to get your hands on some new rewards!
HOW DO I EARN REWARDS?
In May we will reward you for recruiting new users. What exactly does that mean? Let me break it down for you.
We reward users that recruit new registered users to the YouNow community DURING THE MONTH OF MAY. The concept is easy - the more NEW users you refer to YouNow AND who BECOME YOUNOW MEMBERS the more rewards you get!
There are 2 ways to recruit new users:
1. While broadcasting: Any new user that comes to the site and registers during your broadcast is automatically credited to you as a recruit, whether you invited them or not! So the more you broadcast and spread the word, the more recruits you gain.
2. By sharing and inviting users: Every time you post a link using the “Share” button, (by tweeting, publishing a link to a YouNow broadcast or profile page via Facebook, etc.) it contains a unique reference to you as the originator of the link. This unique URL gives you credit for every time a new user comes to the site and becomes a YouNow member through the link you’ve shared.
You will be able to view the number of new recruits gained at any time in your “My Stats” page:
The number of recruits gained will also be displayed at the end of each broadcast.
And you can easily find out how many recruits you earned in between sessions in your inbox.
Additionally, the total number of recruits a user has gained will appear in the area below the video screen every 2 minutes.
SO HOW MANY RECRUITS DO I NEED TO GET TO EARN PRIZES?
Tell us how excited you are in the comments below!
Remember, there are friends to be made, coins to be earned, and NEW prizes to be won at YouNow. So be sure to keep calm, go live and RECRUIT!
