I recently had the opportunity to spend 30min with Wes Sharpton of Hairstory chatting about hosting in a digital space. I have long admired Wes for his unmatched ability to engage both his cohosts and the audience filling the chats with comments and questions.
If you didn’t get a chance to see it live – no worries, we have it on-demand for you on the loup.ai website:
The TL/DW (too long, didn’t watch):
- How Loup allowed Wes to interact with Hairdressers across the globe – without racking up Frequent Flyer miles
- How he uses Instagram to drive engagement for both co-hosts and audience leading up to a stream
- Being intentionally inclusive by not using people’s names
- Adjusting stream length based on the busy season of your audience
- How to make sure people are ‘heard’ amongst a busy chat during a live stream
- How under preparing can create a better conversation (this one will stick with me)
What is your favorite take away? Let us know in the comments!
If you are interested in learning more about how Loup can help your business, we would love to chat!
