 Facebook Live Stream Broadcast 

One of Facebook Live's strengths is its flexibility, allowing you to stream practically anything you want on virtually any level of equipment - from your phone to professional gear. Whether you're doing a spur-of-the-moment broadcast or something preplanned, there are things you can do to take your Facebook Live broadcasts to the next level. Buy Facebook Live Stream Views to get more views easily.

You have to  PICK THE RIGHT TIME

What sets Facebook Live apart from a traditional video is the opportunity for viewers to watch and interact with you as you record. If you are broadcasting from an event, you may not have total control over the day and time. If the air time is your choice, though, plan to broadcast at a time when your followers are most likely to be active on Facebook. To determine this, click on "Insights" at the top of your church's Facebook Page, and then select "Posts" from the left column. Here you will find charts showing you the days and times when your followers are most active.

One challenge you may face is that many people don't have time to watch Facebook during the workday. This means that you may find the most success broadcasting early in the morning, at lunch, after dinner time or on the weekend.

PROMOTE YOUR BROADCAST AHEAD OF TIME

Facebook's number 1 tip for Live sessions is to let your followers know ahead of time when you will be streaming. Announce the date and time, preview the topic and ask for questions or ideas. This will not only drive interest, but it can help you prepare your outline and cover what viewers want to know.

If you are using a more professional setup, accessing Facebook Live through an API, you can even schedule a broadcast. This will create a post with a countdown to the beginning of air time.

WRITE A COMPELLING DESCRIPTION

Facebook Live sessions can show up in many different places — from the top of the mobile app alongside Stories to the news feed to user notifications. Some of these locations will include your video description, and some will not. Don't let that stop you from taking the time to craft a post that will attract viewers.

The description will be visible in the news feed if your viewers share the video. It will also be the content of the post if you choose to publish your video after the broadcast. This description should help potential viewers understand what you're broadcasting and why they would want to watch it.

START STRONG AND BEGIN WITH THE REPLAY IN MIND

Even if you have promoted your broadcast ahead of time, it will take a few minutes to build an audience. Instead of letting this time be "dead air," use it to your advantage. If you plan to post the Live session to your wall after its completion, begin your video by welcoming people who are watching the replay. This may feel odd, but having a strong beginning will help viewer retention during the replay. About the time you are done welcoming them in, you likely will have your first live viewers to welcome.
