Overall Satisfaction with YouTube Live

I use it to engage with my audience (spanish students and teacher) and interact wit them in a playful way. Since they can interact via chat, it's a unique way of "talking" to each other in real time in a way that wouldn't be possible through social media or the newsletter. It has helped me a lot to make launches or introduce news from my business to my audience.

Pros

  • Allows to interact with your audience via chat
  • It's very easy to set (a couple clicks and boom, you are live)
  • You can integrate it with Zoom and other tools

Cons

  • Integrating it with other tools such as Zoom is not hard, but it's not very intuitive at the beginning. I feel like it should be better explained how to do it.
  • I miss having more ways to interact with my audience (live surveys, games, etc)
  • There should be an option to do a Live for only a segment of my audience
  • It's become a reliable source of traffic (even years after each Live they keep adding views)
  • It's added hundreds of subscribers to my newsletter (where I sell my services and courses)
  • It has increased my visibility with less effort than in more produced non-live videos.
It provides a lot of tools, but in order to be a 10 it should be a little bit more "visually friendly". Also it contains so many options all at once that it can be overwhelming.

Other than that, it's a great software for your business/personal project.

Did YouTube Live live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of YouTube Live go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy YouTube Live again?

Yes

If you have a preexisting community somewhere (a newsletter for example) and you want to interact with them, YouTube Live is a great tool to do that. In my experience, a Live is great to make announcement, discuss topic or even make interviews if you integrate it with Zoom.
I guess it's not as useful if you haven't build a community yet, since people are not going to show up on your live if they don't know that you exist.
