How Live Streaming has Helped Small Businesses to Grow?

Tags: Twitch, Periscope, Live Streaming, Development, Apps

Helping small businesses grow, the live streaming industry has become one of the most influential marketing strategies. We live in a generation where people believe google and social media more than human beings, and big businesses leave no stone unturned to make themselves look good on all such platforms. However, small businesses have a hard time outshining their competitors and overcoming the hurdles to bring their products or services to the marketplace.

Why is Live Streaming Becoming So Popular for Businesses?

People already choose video content over static content. Making it all the more interesting and interactive, by putting in a human element- live streaming engages the audience in every possible way and leads to business growth.

This is the reason behind the surge in companies creating their live streaming platform for business. However, instead of developing from scratch, most businesses are opting for live streaming clone scripts like the Periscope Clone- Live Plus.

How does Live Streaming Help Small Businesses to Thrive?

Streaming live has its fair share of benefits and advantages. It creates personalized content for your viewers and potential future customers and makes you stand out from all other posts or tweets, which in turn, invites attention from the audience and makes a difference by creating a greater overall impression.

It widens your customer reach - Even if you are from a small city or town, having a live streaming platform will widen your reach globally and as a default, it will increase your customer base- resulting in better sales. A live streaming platform gives you the ability to communicate with people wherever they are, and you can expand your business beyond the local parameters and serve a broader demographic.

Lucky Block Mod 1.16.4-1.16.3-1.15.2-1.12.2 for Minecraft

Minecraft Lucky Block Mod 1.16.4–1.16.3–1.15.2–1.12.2… introduces only one block, which brings Minecraft more than one hundred possible outcomes. You have to search the Lucky Block and wish the things you want will drop. The Lucky Block can be made with four gold ingots and a dropper, and can obviously be found in your universe as well.

Minecraft Lucky Block Mod 1.16.4–1.16.3–1.15.2–1.12.2

However, now you can anticipate much more than items, with the new update. The Lucky Block mod is capable of spawning creatures, bugs, other entities, and structures. From monsters to fireworks, sticks to gems, each time you mine, the Lucky Block will provide you an enjoyable experience.

Lucky blocks with other items will get various levels of luck if you place them in a crafting table. The ‘Luck’ of a lucky block appears from 0 to 100 in the form of a circle. The higher the amount of luck, the more likely the lucky block will offer you something better.

Luck rates can be pessimistic too, from 0 to -100. Negative rates of luck do miserable lucky blocks. Lucky Blocks can be used in either Netherrack or Quartz structures. Unless the block is located in a Netherrack system, it may have luck -50 to -100. The block may have 50 to 100 luck if located inside a quartz structure. By design, the probability of a lucky block spawning by itself or in a structure is 50/50.

3 distinct wishing well structures and three village traders that offer lucky equipment.

Lucky potion, with significant random effects.

Unlucky splash potion that contains negative random effects.

Wolves and cats with various bracelets and skin colors.

A flowery bouquet.

Books of Enchantment.

Blackmagic perfects live + ISO-cam workflow in several ways
By: Allan Tépper
Tags: 4k, Iso, Live, Live Streaming

From matching timecode for each source, creating the editing project from the switcher-recorder-streaming encoder and then auto-relinking… it’s amazing.

With its US$595 ATEM Mini Pro video mixer/recorder/streaming encoder, Blackmagic had already begun facilitating ISO-cam workflow to a certain degree, by remotely commanding all connected compatible Blackmagic cameras simultaneously to initiate a local ISO recording with matching timecode. That local ISO recording can be 4K or 6K in Blackmagic RAW. The ATEM Mini Pro even triggers those connected cameras to display their tally lights in two different colors, one for recording and another for “on-air”. That feature in the ATEM Mini Pro allows you to switch live, stream live, polish later and publish the polished version for later on-demand availability with higher quality than the live broadcast. Now, with the new US$895 ATEM Mini Pro ISO, Blackmagic has simplified the workflow in a few new intriguing ways. READ MORE…

The Live Web, Finally

The Live Web, Finally

One of the most significant impacts of Covid is that most everyone has realized how much more interesting the web is when it is live instead of dead. What I mean by that is that we like mixing it up with other people in the moment, as opposed to watching or reading something they said a while ago. Live captures our desire not to miss out, and reinforces our basic social nature.

I invest in the future of learning and work, specifically in companies who have pioneered live learning — Outschool, Lambda School, Juni Learning, GetSetup, Sora Schools, GalileoXP, Beanstalk and many more. Pre-covid these companies were doing well. Now, they are some of the fastest growing companies we’ve ever seen. I don’t think we are going to look back and see a blip and then a return to old behaviors. I think this is the beginning of the live web. To be clear, it’s not just learning where live is happening — twitch for gaming, many mental health services, and plain old Zoom for person to person are all on fire.

What I think we will see is that in every category, dead web companies will either need to transform to engage users live, or lose out to ones that figure out ways to do it. Because engagement is the most important thing in consumer Internet. And it’s pretty much impossible to beat live as a medium for engagement. Professional sports have known that for a long time. I think this will kick off a long boom in upgrading all of our experiences online to ones that are as exciting as being there in person.
How to recover your business and double your sales
Tags: Retail Technology, Ecommerce, Marketing Technology, Live Streaming, Retail

COVID-19 changed everyone’s plans this year. It has accelerated the demise of businesses that were already losing sales and touched even those who were doing great.

Such big companies as Avianca, ALDO Group, Debenhams, Foodora, Hertz filed for bankruptcy as a result of the pandemic.

Businesses that did not close had to introduce new measures simultaneously. They had to rapidly shift to remote working, hire more employees for call centres and facilitate E-commerce.

We saw an exceptional 41% spike in revenue from digital channels during the final two weeks of the quarter. It was an indicator for businesses to move online.

What is happening after COVID?

Consumers are buying products online and are not planning to come back to physical stores any time soon, according to GlobalWebIndex’s ninth release of its coronavirus research.

Home goods experience a 51% increase in sales in comparison to the previous year. Active apparel, toys and games followed with 31% and 41% surge respectively. Moreover, sales of essential goods spiralled upwards by 200%.

Online became the only opportunity to recover your business.

How to make sales online?

Thinking from a customer’s perspective, how many times has someone purchased a product online only to be disappointed when it finally arrives? That is the main problem of E-commerce.

Eyezon has recently introduced its new service, which is essential to have during the pandemic. It is a button integrated into your website that allows the in-person-like communication between the customer and the in-store consultant via live video broadcasts.

“The buyer can see the quality of the product in real-time. For sales, this is an opportunity to achieve the effect of live sales even in the digital space,” says Dragorad Knezi, Co-founder and CEO.

How does the button work?

After customers send a request, they see a pop-up message and a countdown timer, which indicates how long they have to wait until a consultant connects. While waiting they can play a mini-game, which keeps them on the website. Once the consultant is ready, customers will receive a push notification. The main thing is that customers will be able to watch, engage, and experience the product they are viewing and all on the same page.

This is your way into the future of retail. This is your chance to establish a long-term relationship with your customers. Try Eyezon now.
Meet the Recipients of StreamElements’ 2020 Creator Diversity Fund
Tags: Streamelements, Twitch, Diversity, Live Streaming, Fundraising

Today we announced the 20 recipients of our $100,000 Creator Diversity Fund, an initiative designed to provide content creators of underrepresented groups (i.e. Black, PoC, Women, LGBTQIA+, Individuals with disabilities) on Twitch with professional livestreaming services. The fund is being divided among the recipients with each receiving a wide range of support from StreamElements in the form of graphics, production, and mentorship.

The following content creators were selected from hundreds of submissions based on several factors ranging from insights they provided on why they were applying, the type of content they are producing, and channel data that reflected a commitment to livestreaming. We also allowed for reduced stream times from individuals with disabilities. Given the amount of applicants, most of which had compelling reasons for applying, there were no easy choices.

The inspiration for the fund was rooted in acknowledging the adversity members of underrepresented groups face in the livestreaming space and having a desire to help elevate their presence and voice in an ecosystem where discovery and access to information is an issue.

While graphics and production are a key facet of cultivating a successful channel, guidance on how to grow an audience, secure sponsorships, sell merchandise, and other engagement tips are equally important for sustaining a career in the content creation industry. This is why the fund goes beyond creating professional animated graphics and engagement tools to include assigned managers and access to an elite 24/7 Discord server where recipients can learn best practices first-hand from a team dedicated to helping them succeed.

Each recipient will be assigned an account manager, given access to a special 24/7 Discord channel (one normally reserved solely for members of StreamElements’ highly valued DreamTeam to have regular discourse with the staff), and provided with a wide collection of custom static and animated assets, such as in-game overlays, alerts, emotes, transitions, sub badges, headers, tipping pages, info panels, and logos, all customized for their channels.

In addition, one of the challenges of being a growing content creator is not always having the latest high-end peripherals. In order to assist on this front while showcasing support for the Creator Diversity Fund, SteelSeries is providing each of the recipients with an Arctis 1 Wireless Gaming Headset.

Over the coming months we will be profiling the recipients on our blog and using our social media channels in order to help raise awareness of these creators.

In the meantime, we encourage you to check out their channels and know that you can also play an important role in supporting diversity. This can be done through seeking out relevant creators and subscribing to their channels, giving tips, buying their merch, following their social media channels, or offering sponsorships if you represent a brand. Be the change you want to see in the world.

How to sell out an online concert? Three artists who did it tell us their secrets
By: Music Interaction Network
Tags: Live Music, Music, Music Business, Live Streaming, Music Industry

Left to right: Elizabeth Michelle Heryawan, Neethusha Cherckal, Larissa Goretkin

Selling out a show is regarded as a rite of passage for any up-and-coming musician. With most of the world confined to the online show format, selling out which is even trickier as the number of tickets offered is no longer limited by venue capacity, now is the time to talk tactics and methods that can help you get your online concert sold out.

We connected with three artists on Show4me who sold out their online shows with 50+ tickets.

Selling out a show for 10 or 20 people might not seem like a big accomplishment (although often it is, especially for artist who are just starting out), but selling out 50, 75, and 85 tickets (these are the number of tickets our artists sold) is quite an achievement.

We’ve interviewed the three musicians to find out exactly what helped them achieve the coveted “sold out” on their events.

Neethusha Cherckal

85 tickets sold

Indian pop diva Neethusha Cherckal relied on personal approach in her online concert promo. After she did the posts and Story updates on all of her social media, she also reached out via personal messages to fans and friends who she knew enjoyed her art.

This resulted in huge sales for her show tickets and led her to the sold out event in the end!

Elizabeth Michelle Heryawan

75 tickets sold

Skilled pianist Elizabeth Michelle Heryawan decided to host a relaxing piano showcase to provide a soothing musical experience for all those impacted by the pandemic.

She says her show topic was her key path to success with the event — people flocked to the idea and her manager Adam knew her fan engagement levels well enough to advise her just the right number of tickets to offer for the night.

Larissa Goretkin

50 tickets sold

Brazilian musician and music teacher now living in Portugal Larissa Goretkin shares that it was letting her fans know just how important this event and selling all of the tickets was to her that led her to the sold out status.

Larissa hosted the show to celebrate her birthday and many of the fans were happy to snatch a ticket and support their fave!

Curious about the exact tactics the musicians used to communicate with fans and more details about their campaigns? Read the full article, complete with artist interviews detailing their experience, on our blog here.

aking up early is marketed as the secret to succeeding at everything in life. Self-help books and articles eternally mention the benefits of waking up early, and how this is the one hack to achieve all your goals.

According to an analysis by Forbes from various studies, waking up early is proven to improve:

Productivity Grades Optimism

I am personally an early-riser too because I like to move and meditate in the morning. It helps me set the tone for my day. That being said, it isn’t a rule of life everybody has to abide with. For the longest time during university, I never understood my classmates who would sleep at 3:00 a.m. and wake up at noon. I always thought that they’re wasting away their life and are unhealthy.

But we need to stop shaming them, not just out of kindness but because science says that our brains are wired differently when it comes to our sleep clock.

Dr Matthew Walker is one of the greatest intellectuals who has contributed to over 100 scientific studies focussing on the impact of sleep on health. He is currently the director of the Center for Human Sleep Science at University of California, Berkely. In his book Why We Sleep, he claims that our population is divided into:

Make a Social Change with XXOOGO

Nowadays we have the overwhelming demand to stay in touch with what’s going on in the world. People began using their voices to attract attention not only to their everyday lifestyle, but to important social issues. We started talking about politics, women’s rights, gender equality, LGBTQ+ community, etc. These issues are a huge part of our lives even if we don’t notice it. Everyone has a different background and opinion, different education and appearance, but we are all connected thanks to the social media and we can speak up, share ideas, thoughts to be better human-beings and pay attention to something important. XXOOGO is the new livestreaming, social app that can be used not only by broadcast aficionados, but is actively positioning itself to facilitate activists and non-profit organizations initiatives. XXOOGO helps people to express themselves directly with their audience in real time. Here are a few tips how this app can be used to make a real social impact.

MAKE IT SOCIAL

XXOOGO is a social app, you can share your ideas, thoughts, create a supportive community around you. Spread the news for your upcoming event you will be attending on your other platforms. Live stream on XXOOGO given the propensity for connecting with a wider audience.

MAKE IT REAL: LIVESTREAM

Livestreaming is inherently more engaging, and therefore we believe it’s the best place to connecting through your passion. For example: maybe you will be attending a rally for LGBTQ community, and you would like connect with a wider audience. It’s doesn’t need to be a large scale event to make an impact. Why not a small gathering with close friends to debate passionate subjects? XXOOGO would be the perfect live streaming platform given it’s inclusive nature.

MAKE FRIENDS

While live streaming viewers will be able to conveniently connect with you through ?????. Notify other broadcasters who may support your passion project or could join your event. Build stories and relationships to help people understand who you are. This will allow for people to initiate conversation with you more easily. Who knows, maybe, together, you’ll change the world.

MAKE MONEY

Speaking about what matters is important but, in most cases, you need money to solve the problem. You can fundraise your campaign or project just doing what you like. If people involve into your activity during watching your livestream or reading your posts, they will be ready to support you and make donations using virtual coins that you can easily transfer to the real

money later. Perhaps this could lead to you creating your own rally or event to drive more social change.

MAKE A CHANGE

Understand that we’re here to support you in any way that we can. Of course, livestreaming apps, such as XXOOGO, were created to have fun, but what’s more fun than creating a social change. You have the freedom to make your own decisions, and we are focused on empowering your decisions to make a bigger impact. If you’re ready to make a change, we’re here #tobewithyou
Musetech under CV19: working on (future)in-museum user experience from home

Wire-framing the new website

The bigger project I have been working on is the wire-framing of the new website designed by Liquorice (external agency creating our marketing site). I am utilising their UX and UI to help the Website Coordinator build these pages in the CMS.

Before we moved to the WFH model, he and I met with different teams to figure out user journeys and what content they needed for their individual webpages. This workflow has continued much the same thanks to some great online tools. Slack calls and the collaborative wire-framing tool Figma is to thank for the seamless(ish) transition. I’m able to share my wire-frames and get constant feedback thanks to the comment tool and I can invite anyone from the organisation to the board and see my progress. When on Slack calls, I’ve been finding the draw tool really handy when someone is screen sharing and want to draw attention to a particular section of the screen. Thumbs up Slack 👍.

User feedback for an onboarding video

I recently went through a usability/feedback phase where I asked people’s thoughts on an onboarding video our team created for the Lens experience in the re-imagined museum — and much like a lot of user research, this took longer than planned.

I wanted to conduct these interviews at the start of March, however that conveniently coincided with Victoria’s new working from home recommendations. I was able to conduct three in-person interviews (before the more strict social distancing rules were in place), and the rest over Zoom calls.

On top of figuring out the best platform for remote video testing, I was struggling with getting users to commit to times, which is completely understandable during this strange month, given these strange times, I knew I would have to make some concessions. 2/3 of the first Zoom call was spent troubleshooting the user’s iPad and figuring out how to get the microphone to turn on. Another Zoom interview operated quite similarly. I had to troubleshoot a user’s 10 year-old Macbook and after 15 minutes of trying to get Zoom to work, I ended up screen sharing while remaining on the phone so I could have audio in the recording.

Because we have a little more time to fine tune the video now, this is a really good opportunity to try out user research platforms. For this project I tried out Dovetail and I like it a lot. It’s a Sydney based startup which I discovered through the UX Research Australia conference in March 20'. I will be testing out a few different platforms for when the museum reopens. (If you have any suggestions please reach out!) Presenting my findings were simply done by sharing the link and going through the research over a Slack conference call.
Who Gets to Be an Artist in America? Meet the Gatecrashers Who Bucked Convention.

Without formal training, these artists “crashed the gates” of major museums in the United States, diversifying the art world across lines of race, ethnicity, class, ability, and gender.

By Katherine Jentleson, Merrie and Dan Boone Curator of Folk and Self-Taught Art, High Museum of Art

The newly published book offers a valuable corrective to twentieth-century art history by expanding narratives of interwar American modernism and providing an origin story for contemporary fascination with self-taught artists.

In 1994, the High Museum of Art went out on a limb and became the first general-interest museum in the country to establish a department dedicated to the work of folk and self-taught artists — artists who never went to art school.

Thornton Dial, Sr., Looking Out the Windows, 2002, Metal grating, fabric, plastic toys, stuffed animals, rope carpet, wire fencing, carpet scraps, metal, corrugated metal, metal screening, wire, nails, paint cans, Splash Zone compound, enamel, and spray paint on carpet on wood.

We’re talking artists such as Thornton Dial, who grew up in the Jim Crow South and did not have access to a formal art education.

He was even concerned that by making art, he might have been breaking the law, putting himself and his family in danger. So, for decades, he hid or destroyed the incredible art he made from found materials in postindustrial Alabama.

Now Dial’s work hangs in museums coast to coast, from the de Young Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. One of his dramatic, truth-telling works, History Refused to Die, even served as the title for a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And here at the High, where we have the leading collection of Dial’s work, we are conducting a groundbreaking conservation study of major painted constructions that will explore his artistic and material choices — such as his use of Splash Zone compound to adhere objects to canvases — and how museums can best care for such nontraditional artistic methods as they safeguard his works for posterity.
Marjorie Acker Phillips: The Woman Behind the Phillips Collection

There’s an old saying that “behind every great man is a great woman.” As you stroll through the High Museum of Art’s exhibition European Masterworks: The Phillips Collections admiring stunning works by master painters Bonnard, van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Klee, and others, you ought to keep that phrase in mind — and this name too: Marjorie Acker Phillips.

Marjorie Phillips (1894–1985), Self-Portrait, ca. 1940. The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.

Marjorie Acker Phillips (1894–1985) was both a distinguished painter and an art collector. However, like many women of her time, her name is often eclipsed by that of her husband, Duncan Phillips.

Marjorie played an integral role in developing The Phillips Collection with Duncan, yet she is not as widely recognized for her contributions in helping establish the first American museum of modern art.

Marjorie Acker was born in Bourbon, Indiana, to a large family at the end of the nineteenth century. She enjoyed a modest upbringing as one of six children born to parents Charles Ernest Acker, an electrochemical engineer and inventor, and Alice Beal.

Marjorie Phillips (1894–1985), The Hudson at Ossining, before 1921. The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.

Much of her childhood was spent with her family in Ossining-on-the-Hudson, New York. Marjorie was interested in art from a very young age and was inspired by her uncles, artists Gifford and Reynolds Beal, who encouraged her to pursue her talents and helped Marjorie attend the Art Students League of New York from 1915 through 1918, when she graduated.

Marjorie first met Duncan Phillips in 1920 at an exhibition of his own art collection at the Century Club in New York. The pair hit it off and were married shortly after, on October 8, 1921.

Marjorie moved to Washington, DC, where she settled with her new husband and his mother in their Georgian Revival mansion in Dupont Circle, a fashionable neighborhood of northwest DC.

In the fall of 1921, The Phillips Collection officially opened to the public as the Phillips Memorial Art Gallery.
Understanding People’s Behaviour and Needs towards Museum — An Independent Project

As a Jakartan, it is never easy for me to recommend places to visit here, other than malls, parks, a mall with a park and….another mall. It’s ironic since Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, yet the options are limited (I have visited the national museum several times, but that’s it). I’m not sure if I should blame the economic boom for that, but it sparks a question in my mind: are those malls the only thing Jakarta can offer?

Luckily, in Somia, we are allowed to do an independent project to celebrate personal hobby and curiosity. Together with my colleagues, Dea and Citra, we did little desk research about what potentials Jakarta has and stumbled upon the fact that our capital darling has more than 20 museums! Gazed in awe, we started to reflect on our own experiences: how do we miss that? Why don't we go to museums often? And what do people actually need from museums?

Research

To find what is missing, first, we need to understand the current behavior of museum visitors. Then, we can find opportunity areas that can be optimized, thus increasing awareness and more visitors.

We started doing a 45 min phone interview each with four respondents that have different experiences and purposes regarding the museum. Two of them have visited at least one museum in the last 6 months, while others have visited more than three museums in the same period. We ask them to recount their previous trip, pain points, and expectation and how it impacted their experiences.

Therefore, we could see the big picture that helped us mapped the user’s experience and created deeper questions before doing field research. Also, we developed simple concepts based on those interviews as stimuli.

Rough concepts as stimuli

Next step is observation. To avoid biases, we searched for museums we never visited before. Considering time (we only have one day) and distance, we picked three museums to observe: Museum Wayang (shadow puppet), Museum Bahari (maritime), and Museum MACAN.

During our visit, we also did a 30-min intercept interview and concept test with five persons. A little tip: avoid using English in stimuli as it will make some respondents feel uneasy.
Social Media Burnout. The emotional toll managing a museum’s…

B urnout: “the reduction of fuel to nothing through use or combustion”

It can affect people in any position and sector but running social media for museums (usually alongside other duties) offers the perfect emotional cocktail for burnout to happen. Here are just a few of those ingredients.

GUILT

Social media is 24/7; it doesn’t stick to a 9 to 5. You’re always on, sneaking online “out of hours” and unable to switch off. Replying to every question is already a challenge, never mind engaging with comments and shared stories (the meaningful bit). The guilt builds unhealthily: you’re sure you’re doing as much as you can, but it’s not enough.

PRESSURE

In addition to representing every aspect of the museum, “going viral” has been an unreasonable management desire for years. Now it’s actually happened, the pressure is truly on. Despite these recent viral moments relying heavily on luck, too many people are waiting expectantly for their social media managers to make it happen. For those still feeling the pressure, Adam Koszary unpacks going viral at MERL beautifully.

BITTERNESS

Your peers’ work is always right there. While it’s useful to benchmark, it’s hard (but unavoidable) to constantly and unrealistically measure yourself against others. You see your contemporaries doing well, and you’re happy for them, but there’s a nagging voice in your head: “Why didn’t mine do as well?” Or you find unoriginality tiresome: “Someone already did that…and better.” Or, worse, the more conflicting: “but that’s…basic. Why is it getting praised?” Feeling bitter might be natural, but it feels bloody shit.

VULNERABILITY

Managing social media effectively rests on investing a lot of yourself and your personality. I’ve already written about this and I still believe it. But putting your heart on(the)line leaves it exposed; every cruel jibe, negative comment and complaint aimed at your organisation cuts you like a knife, especially because you usually can’t fight back. If you’re doing your job well, feeling vulnerable will likely be par for the course.

A pleasant Twitter exchange

Like many people working in museums, social media managers go beyond their job descriptions and pay scale, and their mental health is put to the test every day. Instead of risking burnout in your colleagues running social media, offer them space, time and support. Without these, they’re running on fumes.
