Stream Wars Podcast Ep 3: How to Grow an Audience and Get More Virtual Gifts with Top Streamer Will Smith
In today’s podcast I chat with a popular streamer who goes by the username Will Smith. Will is one of only 2 streamers who’s successfully maintained a Top Streamer badge across three of The Meet Group’s apps, MeetMe, Skout, and Tagged. In our interview, Will candidly shares his tips and tricks and gives advice on how others can become top streamers too.
Some of the highlights include:
- How he incentivizes viewers to give him virtual gifts
- What he does to get more viewers
- What does #litfam mean and how has it contributed to his streaming success
- Why it’s important for streamers to develop genuine relationships with their top gifters and how he does that
- How live streaming has benefitted his career and other areas of his life
Will is a ball of positive energy who truly loves connecting with people, and he seems to have found his perfect medium with live streaming.
Before you listen to the episode, here are a couple terms Will uses during the interview that may be unfamiliar to people who don’t use The Meet Groups’ apps:
Diamonds — a form of virtual currency
When a viewer sends a car or a gold star — these are virtual gifts, each with a corresponding diamond value, larger gifts typically have animated special effects.
Being in the Guest Box — Basically what this means is that a viewer can request to have a video call with the broadcaster while the broadcaster is live. If the broadcaster accepts the request, the viewer’s video will appear within a smaller frame inside the main video.
This episode with Will is the first of a series where we interview top streamers to learn the secrets behind their success. If there’s anything you’d like to know about becoming a top live streamer, feel free to leave a comment below or email us at streamwars@themeetgroup.com.
