THE WORLD’S TOP 10 LIVE STREAMERS IN 2024

Before you start using some of the world’s top 10 most popular live streamers in 2024let me tell you something you probably have been turning a blind eye to…

Social media platforms are not helping your business

  • Social media platforms are “money extraction” machines. Their business model is to make money from you.
  • Their algorithm has been deliberately designed to lower your organic reach so you have to pay for ads to reach your followers. That’s why only 5% of your followers may see your posts (If you are lucky!)
  • You keep trying to build audiences on social media platforms you will never own. 
  • You cannot transfer your hard-earned social media followers to your best CRM software.
  • Your customer acquisition costs from social media ads are through the roof.

The solution

THE BEST METRICS WHEN PARTNERING WITH A STREAMER

  • Hours watched.  Hours watched are defined as the total number of hours an audience spends watching live content. Traditional television campaigns often measure in “reach” or the total number of viewers that saw the program, but this metric doesn’t take into account how long they were watching. Hours Watched is a better metric to show just
    how much content was seen.
  • Unique registered viewers. The total number of unique viewers that watched the live content and were logged into the platform. Logged-in viewers are often more engaged and repeat viewers of creators, and can be a better metric to base a campaign on.
  • Brand Mentions. Measuring the number of mentions your brand has across live-streaming chat can be informative to keep track of performance. These mentions can help you find who is already talking about your brand, about your competitors, and help you find where to activate with creators.
  • Chat engagement. Chat Engagement measures the number of users watching the live content that typed at least one message in the live-stream chat. Measuring chat engagement can help show how active and interested a streamer’s audience is in the content on screen. The more engaged an audience, the more likely they’ll pay attention to a campaign.
