By Jamie G
Interestd in live selling on Facebook, Amazon or YouTube? YoloLiv has the perfect guide to get your sucesfully up and running. With the help of their YoloBox and YoloBox Pro you’ll be able to reach out to customers online, boost sales in a single livestream event, and bring product and brand awareness.
Facebook Live allows you to use a different way to promote you products, rather than just a using imges. If you have a commerce account you can tag and feature products from your shop and add links. When you hit the “Go Live” button, you can show the link for specific products to viewers, and they can click and go right to a checkout page.
To get started on Facebook, heres what YoloLiv suggests
- Add a link to your ecommerce page or website in the comments. If your customers want to checkout, they can click the link, or they can message you if they are interested. For example, you can say, “message me with ‘red dress’ and I’ll send you a link to buy.”
2. Add the Overlays on your livestream for call to actions. This method allows you to pauce in the middle of the show, take a breath and let your audience know where they can buy it. For example, you can make an overlay, to tell your customers go to amazon to search for your product name. Or you can give them your social media account and DM you if they are interested.
Amazon
The pretty recent Live Creator app allows any brand registered seller, a U.S. vendor with an approved Amazon store, or an Amazon influencer with an active Amazon storefront for live directly from their phone.
To get started on Amazon, here is what YoloLiv suggests
- Login to your Live Creator app
- Add the product
- Go live!

YouTube
YouTube is a great place to go live but YoloLiv does say that “building your army of shopaholics on YouTube can be a bit more challenging, as the platform hasn’t optimized the interface for such goals. Also, it requires minimal knowledge of keywords and tags to at least have a chance to be found by viewers. Generally speaking, we would recommend using YouTube Live as an additional platform for your live sales.”
To get started, YoloLiv suggests
- Go to your YouTube account.
- On the top right, click Create. Then click Go Live.
- Edit the details for your stream, including cover page, stream title, and you can put your product link on your video description.
- Schedule the time for your livestream.
The YoloBox and YoloBox Pro are the perfect all-in-one live streaming encoders, switchers, monitors and recorders to live sell on all three of these platforms. They allow you to stream to 3 platforms simutainly, are easy to setup, and allow you to engage with your customers.
