I do different things on live streams. I give away gift cards, answer questions, help people out, and I don’t try to sell anything on my live stream. If you get in the habit of doing that, you’re gonna lose your audience. They come there for live stream because it’s free and it’s really hard to market or sell something on a live stream. That’s not really the place for it but if you give enough value there, they will send you money. I know I’ve had a lot of people send me money over the years and you could do that too.
There’s a lot of other streaming software and this is not exhaustive of what you can use. I tell you about OBS because it’s free. A lot of them out there charge and you can’t do as much. With OBS, you can do everything and it’s free.
I hope you enjoyed this and you got something out of it. If you did, give me a thumbs-up, and don’t forget to comment below. Let me know if you have any questions and I’d be happy to help you out!
