First-month questions.
Simple answers for new hosts.
What should I do on my first live?
Introduce yourself, welcome viewers, ask simple questions, and keep talking even if the room starts slow.
How do I know if my hours count?
Check Creator Center or Live Data. Some data may take time to update, and some live types may not count toward official host hours.
What should I do if nobody is talking?
Keep talking. Tell stories, ask questions, react to trends, play simple games, or explain what your live is about.
Should I stream every day?
Consistency helps, but the best schedule is one you can maintain. Spread your hours across the month.
Your first month is about momentum.
Show up, keep your live active, check your data, and improve one thing at a time.
