The live streaming app is a new, global way to communicate and make money from it.
The Liveme app allows people to connect with other people by streaming live video. Ruslan Leonov uses this app and found it after he stumbled upon it on Facebook eight months ago and downloaded it after seeing a promotional video for the agency Liveme. Since then, Ruslan has built up a solid fan base of 25,000 subscribers. One of the ways he develops his brand is to treat his viewers as “family”, thus creating a personal virtual family using the water and panda emoji that his fans add as part of their username.
“When I went into this app, I noticed that basically everyone was in different families, and I thought that was cool, but, you know, I noticed that there are so many different families here,” Ruslan said.
People use this app as a way to connect with other people from all over the world, but it can also be used as a source of income. During broadcasts, virtual gifts can be given to the “host” user. When the host receives virtual gifts, they can convert them into diamonds, and diamonds can be converted into real money or transferred into virtual coins to give to others without spending money from their pocket. If a person receives 15,500 diamonds or more, they can start cashing out. This money will be transferred to your payoneer account within 10 days.
One presenter, who wishes to remain anonymous, is running an expensive virtual giveaway that anyone can enter. He gave the winners virtual aquariums, as well as virtual castles. Virtual locks cost 19,999 coins or about $57. He uses the app as a way to network for extra money and free publicity.
Some Liveme streamers have made it their only source of income they live on, according to an October 2016 Venturebeat com article “In 7 months, Liveme has processed $1 million in virtual gift payments for streamers.”
This worldwide streaming app can be downloaded from any iPhone or Android device through the App Store or Google Play Store.
