How do you diversify your live streaming revenue sources and avoid relying on one platform?

One way to maximize views and create ongoing engagement is to have a dedicated website of your own that houses Each of your Livestreams. As they're aired and after they've aired. As you build up your site and live stream library, you'll start to see a trend that can further help you stand out from the crowd of live streams. You also have a lot of control of the content that goes on your own website further establishing your authority on the content and topics you talk about. Not only do you have a single place to send your audience to, but you also become more searchable and quotable for years to come.

You can use livestreaming tools such as StreamYard, Restream and Ecamm to easily multistream to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, as well as Custom RTMP destinations.

Another way to build a loyal community is in the direct messages. After each show, send a thoughtful thank you message to a handful of viewers. These people will become your most loyal viewers because they'll remember the time you took out one-on-one with them.

Exclusive content is an amazing way to build your tribe. It also goes with exclusive access that's something which is enabled by some live streams by inviting the audiences to the live show. The dedicated membership platforms are great to kickstart your community and start becoming a place to grow your relationship with your tribe, as well as support them to grow.

Many livestreamers feel especially at first that selling on their livestreams is awkward for them. Regarding that, as long as you provide education or entertainment a majority of the time, there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you do that, your viewers will not mind, and some will even be craving your services.

In order to get a sponsorship or partnership, you need to put in the work up front. Don’t expect a company to automatically want to sponsor or partner with you if you’re just starting out. If you are a user of the product or service and talk about the benefits without being sponsored, companies will see it. If you are creating good content and they see a fit for what you are creating, they are more likely to want to sponsor or partner with you. Your actions before this make you in essence a brand ambassador. With sponsorships and partnerships, make sure it is a brand you trust. Your followers may start using the product or service because of your endorsement and your own reputation is on the line if the product or service falls short.
