Using incentives for maximum audience engagement

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, rewarding a generous donation or just looking to whip up some audience participation, give people incentives to get engaged! 

Here’s some ideas for prompts and rewards that you can offer your audience during your stream: 

  • 1. Set up a wall of fame to reward your top donors. Add names to a chart during the stream to say thank you – or take it up a level and see who donates the most to maintain their position at the top!

  • 2. If the price is right, get silly with your audience! For every donation over a certain amount, promise to tell a joke, do a dance, impression or sing a song. Remember not to stray out of your comfort zone, it should be fun for you and your audience.

  • 3. Eat or drink something as a dare. Beanboozled sweets are a popular penalty – there are interesting flavours for you to try.  Fingers crossed you don’t get rotten egg!

    4. You can’t argue with a classic. Reward your donors by taking a cake or squirty cream to the face. Your friends will be more than happy to assist on this one!

    5. Use your skills to say thank you. If you are a budding artist, crafter or have some insider gaming tips, share it with your audience after a big donation or milestone.

  • 6.  If material goods are what your audience want, could you incorporate some giveaways? Offer prizes or get a raffle going to increase your donations for Sense.
