Creator's Key Takeaways

There's no gatekeeping in this YouTube game or there's no gatekeeping in social media right so I know that there's so many of us that already go live.

If you're scared of doing it and you don't do it you're not going to do it. If you fail then you're going to learn from that fail.

Consistency is the name of the game the more consistent you get and you commit to a time and a place the more people are going to show up.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Just take the plunge and do it; you don't need fancy equipment to start.

✓Build a consistent schedule so your audience knows when to expect you.

✓Use YouTube Shorts as teasers to drive traffic to your long-form content and lives.

✓Engage with the chat to build community and prevent 'dead space'.

✓Consider collaborating with other creators to build comfort and reach new audiences.

Fear of being on camera/public speaking — Just do it; the more you do it, the easier it becomes. You can also start by being a guest on someone else's live.

Lack of professional equipment — You don't need fancy microphones or cameras; people watch for the personality and content.

Not knowing what to talk about — Use the chat to fuel the conversation; the interaction itself can be the topic.
