Live streaming has become one of the most popular features on social media platforms, and TikTok is no exception. The TikTok live streaming feature gives users the opportunity to interact with their fans and share content. This article will introduce sellers to personal live streaming on TikTok so that sellers can make the most of this feature.
1. Preparation.
Before starting a personal live streaming, sellers need to make sure that their TikTok application is already the latest version. In addition, sellers also need to make sure that their accounts meet the conditions for using the live streaming function. Usually, TikTok will require sellers’ accounts to reach a certain number of followers before they can obtain the permission for the live streaming function. Therefore, before starting the live streaming, make sure that your account meets this condition.
2. Set up live streaming permissions.
After meeting the account conditions, sellers need to enable the live streaming function. Open the TikTok application and log in to your account. Then, go to the settings menu and find and select the “Privacy and Security” option. In this menu, sellers will find the “Live Streaming Permissions” option. Click this option and make sure it is enabled.
3. Prepare the live streaming content.
Before the live streaming, it is very important to determine the content and topic that sellers want to share. Sellers can choose a suitable topic based on their interests and expertise. For example, if you are a beauty blogger, you can choose to share makeup tips and product reviews. If you are a fitness trainer, you can choose to share workouts and fitness advice. Make sure your live content is relevant to your audience and provides valuable information.
4. Prepare your equipment and network.
Before you start your live broadcast, make sure your equipment (usually your phone) is in good working order. Check and make sure your camera, microphone, and speakers are working properly. In addition, a stable internet connection is essential for a smooth live broadcast. Make sure you have a good network signal at your location and try to avoid using other large bandwidth-consuming applications.
5. Set a live broadcast time.
Before you start your live broadcast, choose a suitable time and date that will attract more viewers. Considering your target audience’s time zone and daily activity time, choose a time period that they may be convenient to participate. By promoting and informing your fans in advance, you can increase the number of live broadcast viewers.
6. Start the live broadcast.
Once everything is ready, you can start your live broadcast. Open the TikTok app and log in to your account. Then, slide the sidebar on the right side of the screen and swipe up from the bottom until you find the live button. After clicking the button, the seller will enter the live preparation page.
On the live preparation page, the seller can edit the live title and add relevant tags. Make sure the live title is concise and able to attract the audience’s attention. Tags can help other users find the seller’s live content on TikTok. Select tags related to the seller’s live content and add them to the tag bar.
7. Adjust the live settings.
On the live preparation page, the seller can also set some other live parameters. For example, the seller can choose to allow or prohibit audience comments, send gifts, and use special effects. According to the seller’s needs and preferences, select the appropriate settings and ensure that you provide a good live experience for the audience.
8. Start the live broadcast.
When the seller has completed all the preparations and is satisfied with the settings, the seller can click the “Start Live” button on the live preparation page. Before starting the live broadcast, TikTok will count down for the seller so that the seller has time to adjust the posture and prepare psychologically. When the countdown ends, the seller will officially start the live broadcast.
9. Interact with the audience.
During the live broadcast, interaction with the audience is very important. TikTok provides a variety of interactive features, such as audience comments, gift sending, and likes. Respond to audience comments actively, provide valuable answers, and encourage them to participate in the discussion. Sellers can also thank the audience for their support by giving gifts and give them special attention and recognition.
10. End the live broadcast.
When the seller has completed the live broadcast content or reached the scheduled live broadcast time, the seller can choose to end the live broadcast. Click the End Live Broadcast button on the screen and follow the system prompts to complete the operation. After the live broadcast ends, TikTok will save the seller’s live broadcast recording and provide a playback function on the seller’s account for other users to watch.
Summary.
TikTok’s personal live broadcast function provides users with a platform to interact with fans and share content. Through preparation, setting live broadcast permissions, preparing live broadcast content, preparing equipment and network, setting live broadcast time, starting live broadcast, interacting with audiences, and ending live broadcast, sellers can make full use of TikTok’s personal live broadcast function and establish a deeper connection with the seller’s fans. Enjoy the fun of live broadcast and show the seller’s talent and enthusiasm!
