**From Ari Herstand, author of How to Make It in the New Music Business:  When you perform a live streamed concert, you must interact with your audience in a way that makes them feel welcomed. A live streamed concert experience is very different from a physical concert experience. You can see a chat box, for one. So engage acknowledge their comments. Say hi to people popping in. Answer questions. Take requests. Make it super personal. Make it feel like they are getting a glimpse into your life, studio, process and world. 

The reason they’re tuning in to watch this versus just a YouTube video is because they want to feel connected to you. 

So connect with them!
