A Live with ten engaged viewers can be great. A Live with a hundred is even better. Here is how to grow your Live audience.
Why people miss your Lives
- They did not know it was happening.
- It was at the wrong time.
- The title did not tell them why to join.
9 ways to get more Live viewers
- Schedule the Live so followers can set a reminder.
- Announce it in stories with a countdown sticker 24 hours and 1 hour before.
- Go live when followers are active. Check with our Best Time tool.
- Write a clear title: “Live Q&A: fixing oily skin in monsoon”.
- Invite a guest so both audiences get notified.
- Go live regularly, for example every Sunday at 7 pm.
- Greet viewers by name so they stay.
- Offer something exclusive: a discount code, a freebie or early news.
- Repurpose the replay into Reels to attract people to the next one.
How long should a Live be?
20–45 minutes is a good range. Viewers trickle in during the first 5–10 minutes.
