Live streaming on Liveme can make a big difference in your life. By overcoming your fear of public speaking, it will be much easier for you to find a common language with strangers outside the home. Remember how difficult it can be for you to just walk down the street and smile at everyone you meet, this unpleasant feeling that many eyes are constantly looking at you, holding you down and forcing you to wear dark clothes in order to blend in with the crowd. It is important for you what people think about you, how they discuss you behind your back, and maybe even laugh at you. I mean, broadcasting on Liveme is no scarier than just going out into the street.
Yes, at first it will be a little uncomfortable, but at first, with each broadcast you will feel more relaxed and begin to enjoy communicating with strangers.
All unpleasant personalities can be blocked forever in a couple of seconds. You are the main person on your broadcast and it is up to you to decide which holiday you will arrange for the audience. You can sit silently for the whole broadcast, chat about your own, answer or not respond to messages, greet everyone who comes to you or not, there is a mood to dance, excellent, you dance badly, but you want, yes, no problem. The main thing is to understand what result you want to get, with a minimum of effort, you will not get the maximum result.
What if you know that live streaming is the way you want to make money, but you just can’t get over your own fears?
Well, you know the old saying: nothing worthwhile ever comes easy!!! I’m here to tell you… there are GREAT things on the other side of that fear factor! You just have to get over it!
This post will help calm your nerves so you can get ready and stream on LiveMe like a pro!
Write down your main points before you plan to go live.
Probably the best way to both suppress your fears and have the best possible experience is to think about what you want to say and then make a list of common ground.
I do not recommend writing what you are going to say word for word! This often ends up looking stiff and rehearsed… which is the exact opposite of what you should be filming. You just have to make a small list of your basic “phrases” so that sometimes there are no awkward pauses on the air when you don’t know what to say. For example, at such moments, you can greet the audience, ask them to share the broadcast, like it, spam in the comments, unobtrusively ask them to support you with a gift. Ask them for advice or help in resolving some issue, even if you already know the answer, anyway, it will help bring them to a dialogue.
A good option to diversify the broadcast in Liveme is to move from communication to action. For example, show the audience your house, pets, photos from the album, dance, cook in the kitchen, show the view from the window, go outside, play games with the audience where they will have to guess the result.
When you know that you have covered all the most important points, you will find that you begin to relax and enjoy.
Focus on your audience… not yourself.
If you focus on yourself – how you look, how you sound, what you’re going to say – you lose the most important thing – your audience. You must remember that it’s not about YOU… it’s about serving your tribe!
Before you go live, think about who you are trying to help and what they need.
What are their biggest problems right now? What challenges do they need to overcome? What do they need to hear from you?
Focusing on others can really help you get into the right mindset, thereby calming your nerves and making a better broadcast!
To overcome the fear of going live when you are just about to conduct your first test broadcasts, you can record and watch a video of how it will look from the viewer’s side and possibly show it to your friends.
Make sure the battery is fully charged and that you have reliable WIFI access.
Maybe this is “no brains” advice… but more than a few people have neglected it with terrible results!
You have enough to worry about without having to worry about your battery dying or losing your live signal!
It is generally assumed that everyone is just as critical of your appearance as you are.
In fact, most people won’t even notice that you have a hair problem or that your shirt is slightly wrinkled.
While looking and feeling your best can boost your on-air confidence, keep in mind that your audience is much more interested in what you’re broadcasting than how you look or sound!
Talk to one person
Imagine talking to a room full of 100 people…how would you feel?
Now imagine having a one-on-one conversation with one of your viewers.
Big difference, right?
Before you begin, imagine who your ideal audience is. As said above, think about his biggest sore point and desires.
When you go live, imagine that you are talking directly to this person. Not only will this help reduce your fear, but it will also give you a much more personal, recognizable live experience!
Know that (before you even start your first live broadcast) you will be confused… maybe a few times.
This is part of what makes live streaming so exciting… you never know what’s going to happen!
But here are a few things to keep in mind:
First, most people will never know when you screw up. They don’t closely monitor your broadcast for mistakes, and they care a lot more about what they can learn from you than about how perfect you look or sound.
Second, remember that your Liveme viewers want to see the real person on the other side of the screen…not someone who’s been so rehearsed and polished that all spontaneity is lost.
And finally, remember that the more you do this, the easier your direct inclusion will be. You will feel more comfortable and begin to develop your usual “bag of tricks” for each broadcast without thinking about it. Just don’t give up when you screw up the first, second, or even third time!

Many of them are covered in the paragraphs above, but there are a few new gems!
Know your stuff
Practice ahead of time
Get to know your audience in advance (say hello to those who enter at the beginning of the broadcast).
Try to feel the room from which you will be broadcasting.
Take some time to unwind before going live.
Imagine you are live
Understand that your audience wants you to succeed (they don’t want you to fail more than you!).
Don’t apologize for being nervous.
Focus on your message, not fear.
The only way to get better is to keep training!
Final Thoughts
If you haven’t spent a lot of time in front of the camera, then your first live broadcast might be a nail-pick.
Just remember that as you do this more and more, your nerves will subside… and you may soon have trouble remembering why you were so nervous!
