Livestreaming Is Bigger Than You Realize

Monday, March 14
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 12AB
531 E 4th St

Meerkat blew up at SXSW 2015, and Periscope trumped it only two weeks later. When you talk about livestreaming, this is as far as most people are familiar. But at least two livestreaming networks have already surpassed Meerkat and Periscope in terms of users and revenue model.
Twitch and YouNow have taken livestreaming to the next level. On their networks, it’s gamified with experience points and monetized with in-app purchases and subscriptions to channels. That money that is shared with the creators. Some creators make $18,000/mo.
Livestreaming is not just another platform, it's a whole new way of interacting with your audience and where all your usual content-creating instincts are wrong.
