Living Life Online with Live Streaming
—Bertus van Aswegen
Have you ever thought about sharing your life with the world, and maybe making a little money along the way? Take a look into live streaming, one of the Internet's fastest-growing phenomena. With live streaming, anyone can become an online celebrity—all you need is a camera, Internet access, and something to show an audience.
On sites like YouNow, Periscope, and Twitch, streamers log in and connect with fans from all over the world. These fans are able to interact with streamers through chat windows, passing along comments, requests, or questions and receiving responses live.
There is something for everyone in live streaming, from fashion tips to live music to online gaming. While there are many streamers, a number of people have been able to achieve celebrity status in streaming circles. But you don't have to be especially skilled at something to become a great streamer. Some streamers do little more than set up a camera and act as they normally would in day-to-day life, but their everyday activities or the things they say may draw interest. In particular, an attractive sense of humor goes a long way with audiences and can quickly elevate an average streamer to social media stardom.
線上直播：網路新風潮
你是否曾經想過跟全世界分享你的生活，也許在過程中賺點錢呢？研究一下直播吧，這是網路成長最快速的其中一個現象。有了直播，任何人都可以成為網路名人——你只需要一台相機、網路連線和可以展現給觀眾看的東西。
在YouNow、Periscope和Twitch這類網站上，實況主登入後就和世界各地的粉絲產生共鳴。這些粉絲可以透過聊天視窗來和實況主互動，傳遞評論、要求或問題，並在當場得到回應。
每個人都可以在直播中找到適合的東西，從時尚建議到實況音樂到線上遊戲應有盡有。雖然有很多實況主，但有一些人能夠在直播的圈子裡得到明星的地位。但你不必然得特別要專精於某件事才能成為很棒的實況主。有些實況主只不過就是架起相機然後做他們平常每天會做的事，但他們的日常活動或所說的事情可能會引起興趣。特別是吸引人的幽默感對觀眾很有用，可以很快就讓普通的實況主竄紅成為社群媒體的明星。
