Below, we’ll talk about the benefits of using Facebook Live on your WordPress site and how to use Virtual Events for all of your online event needs.
The benefits of Facebook Live
Facebook Live is a fantastic tool for hosting live events. It allows you to interact with attendees throughout your broadcast to get their reactions, comments, and questions. It’s also a great way to gain new subscribers, engage in unexpected and important conversations, and earn valuable exposure in your area of expertise. All while saving money since Facebook Live has no overhead costs.
Facebook Live and WordPress working together
If people aren’t already subscribed to your Facebook Page, they don’t know where to find your events. Using your website as a marketing tool is the most effective method for helping potential consumers understand what it is that you do. What’s great is that your branding will already be incorporated on your WordPress site, so users can get a sense of what you’re all about and feel like they’re buying into your brand when they decide to tune in to your Facebook Live event.
By setting up your event page with your embedded live stream, users know exactly when to tune in to your event so that they don’t miss a beat.
