How to Get More Gifts on Tango?
When it comes to making money live streaming gifts are the king! Every streamer you see who has 1 million, 10 million, or 100 million diamonds almost certainly got most of them from their fans giving them one of the hundreds of awesome Tango gifts.
Everyone on Tango starts out with 0, which means that every streamer you see with millions of diamonds has spent months learning everything weâre about to tell you. Instead of spending weeks discovering these tricks, check out this post and learn the best tips to get more gifts!
1. Pick your profile name and photo
This might sound super basic to you, but itâs 100% worth talking about.
When you set up a Tango profile the app will automatically give you a name like Famous Badger or Unknown Tiger along with a default profile picture. Are they cute? We think so! Will people see you as a newbie streamer who probably doesnât know what theyâre doing? Most likely.
If you want to meet crowds of live stream fans and increase the number of gifts you receive, take a few moments to pick a profile picture and name. No, you donât need to hire a professional photographer – a clear, well-lit selfie or photo from social media will do just fine.
2. Set up your streaming stage
Your streaming stage consists of four elements:
đśInternet
đLocation
đĄLight
đAudio
đśInternet: Make sure that wherever youâre streaming from has a reliable internet connection. Nothing kills a stream faster than one constantly cutting in and out.
đLocation: Someplace comfortable, easy to access, and secluded enough that you wonât be interrupted. A living room or bedroom is perfect and, to really catch peopleâs attention, put up some decorations like colored streamers or fabric that you can hang on the wall behind you.
đĄLight: People want to see you when youâre live! Streamers who are hidden in shadows hardly ever get gifts. Turn on a light or hang some of your own. Ring lights and disco balls are highly recommended!
đAudio: Make sure there arenât any echoes or your voice isnât muffled. Put in some headphones and go live to make sure you can hear yourself. If it sounds bad, try and find a different spot or invest in a lapel mic to increase the sound quality.
3. Go live often
Gifts only happen when youâre live (in later articles weâll discuss ways to make passive incomes on Tango too) so if you plan on earning on Tango you have to be streaming on Tango.Â
According to our own research, streamers who stream for over an hour earn double the amount of gifts. All of Tangoâs top-earning livers stream for at least 50 minutes every time they go live!
The more you go live the more gifts youâll probably earn, the more chances youâll have to meet new fans, and the better of a broadcaster youâll become. You shouldnât go live to the point of burning yourself out though.
Our advice – do what feels right and what you feel comfortable doing. If you push yourself too hard youâre just going to burn out which is fun for nobody.
4. Actually TALK to your fans
Why are you just sitting there staring at the camera?? Talk, interact, and say hello to the people coming to your stream! Your fans want to connect with you. If youâre not paying any attention to them, then theyâre just going to go somewhere else.
Another mistake that many rookie streamers make is focusing too much on their talent. Yes, you should perform your art or music, but donât become so absorbed in it that you forget to look up and check in with your audience. Make sure you schedule breaks where you talk to and catch up with the people who are cheering you on and supporting you.Â
5. Bring positive energy
People are naturally attracted to those who are friendly, charismatic, and seem like theyâre having a great time. If you look like youâd rather be anywhere than in your own stream, people are going to take that as a sign to move along.
The more fun youâre having the more likely people are going to stay and start chatting with you. If youâre a naturally introverted person thatâs totally fine too! You donât have to start yelling and waving your arms around expecting that it will make you more gifts. Just donât act like youâre bored or uninterested. If youâre tired then stop streaming, go take a nap, and come back when youâre feeling refreshed.
6. Focus on the fans, not the gifts
Fans give gifts to streamers they connect with and actually like. They typically donât give gifts to streamers who go live and start shouting, âGIVE ME GIFTS! MORE GIFTS NOW!!â
Nobody likes a streamer whoâs begging for or demanding gifts. Instead, actually interact and engage with your fans. Talk to them, ask them questions, and focus on making your stream a fun place that people want to come to and enjoy. Trust us when we say that will bring you wayyy more gifts than just shouting for them.
7. Connect with other streamers
One of the biggest mistakes that new broadcasters make is assuming that other broadcasters are nothing but competition. This could not be further from the truth. Other live streamers can be your biggest fans and your best friends.
As the expression goes: a rising tide lifts all boats.Â
DONâT fake a connection in hopes that theyâll gift you. Itâs easy to spot and youâll get a reputation as a faker. Instead, go to their live streams, interact with them, become their fans, and get to know them. These little acts of kindness can get repaid tenfold as they come to your live stream and get to know you. You can also participate in battles and live parties together, increasing both the size of your audience and, most likely, the number of gifts youâre both going to get!
8. Donât forget these 2 magical words
Thank you.
Few gestures are as strong as simply thanking the people who have gifted you. Donât save your appreciation for the massive gifts and ignore the small gifters either. No matter how big the gift is, make sure you thank the gifter by name. The same goes for new followers.Â
These small acts of kindness add to the overall positivity of your stream and make the gifter feel great about themselves. Do you know what that leads to? You guessed it – more gifts!
9. Follow up with your fans
Letâs say your broadcast is over for the day. As you exit your live stream youâll see a list of the people who gave you gifts during your stream along with how much they gave you.
Our advice, if you didnât follow them already during your stream make sure to follow these wonderful people back when itâs over. Then, send them a message thanking them for their generosity. Even something as simple as, âThank you so much for your gift! Was great meeting you and canât wait to see you next time!â is enough to get people excited about your next stream.
10. Show your appreciation to your biggest gifters
Hereâs a little tip for the pro streamer. Letâs say someone gave you a REALLY big gift. Something so big that youâre practically skipping around your studio by the end of your broadcast due to uncontrollable happiness!
Instead of just sending them a message showing your appreciation, many of the biggest streamers like to take things a step further and send them a personal token of appreciation. This can be anything from a personalized t-shirt to doing a one-on-one video call with them – anything that makes them feel special and reminds them of how amazing they are!
Discover the Tango tools for success
Tango provides in-app tools that help live streamers accomplish their goals and maximize their profits. Theyâre simple to use, provide great results, and, best of all, are all 100% free!
Analytics
Tango analytics are the best way to discover what your audience loves and how you can improve your stream for the next time you go live.
Checking analytics can only be done from your cell phone. In order to view them tap on your profile picture in the upper left-hand corner then select statistics.
From here youâll be able to see when you went live, how much you earned, how long your broadcast session was, and how many new followers you have.
Battles/Live Parties
Battles and live parties are features that allow you to stream with other broadcasters at the same time.Â
MAXIMIZE YOUR BATTLES
Plan battles with other streamers ahead of time in order to promote them on your feed and on social media.
Filters
There are two types of filters that you can use to add even more fun and excitement to your stream!
Masks
Adorable and hilarious animations that move with you and even adapt to your facial expressions.
Beauty
Change everything from the whiteness of your teeth to the shape of your head. It can be cute, silly, or just plain crazy!
Premium
Premium content is the best content that you put behind a paywall for your viewers. To go to premium first select the camera icon at the bottom of the explore tab. Scroll to the left and select premium and then pick any gift youâd like.
Itâs an immediate gift from anyone in premium plus more gifts once the premium starts!
Best ways to plan a premium stream:
- Go live and wait until you have a lot of viewers in your stream. When you start your premium stream you can expect between 10-15% of your audience to join you.
- Promote your premium stream ahead of time. If you really want to earn those extra gifts create a teaser video or photo of what youâre going to be streaming and wait for your fans to show up for you!
Conclusion
Getting more gifts doesnât require knowledge of some deeply-guarded secret. Simply bringing positive energy, interacting more with your fans, and showing gratitude is enough for you to earn more and live the lifestyle of your dreams as a live content creator.
