Facebookā„¢ – Why Go Live

Have you even thought about going Live on Facebook? Here are a few reasons why going Live can really benefit your business:

  1. Going Live is a terrific strategy to acquire new eyeballs on your content which will ultimately increase your visibility.
  2. The Facebook algorithm exposes Lives to people with similar interests and behaviors to the Live Broadcast.
  3. Live video has 6 x the amount of engagement than regular videos on the platform.
  4. Just 20% of videos published on Facebook are Live video so it’s a great way to stand out from the crowd.
  5. Facebook notifies page users when you are about to go Live helping to increase attendance and engagement.
  6. Once finished your Facebook Live video will automatically upload to your profile, page or group.

Maybe it’s time to give it a try?

Instagramā„¢

The algorithm is now based on viewer interest, not followers. So you have to post about things that people are interested in today, not last week or last month!
