📌 Why does it work?
Audience Expectation
Viewers who’ve seen content related to your livestream topic are more likely to feel curious and click through when the actual stream goes live.
Algorithm Amplification
Thematic videos help platforms categorize your content more accurately, leading to stronger clustering and better recommendation performance.
Authority & Trust
Consistent, topic-specific content builds trust and positions you as a subject matter expert, attracting more engaged and relevant viewers.
💡 Tips for Implementation
Post 1–2 Days in Advance
Share the thematic short video 1–2 days before the livestream to give algorithms enough time to surface your content.
Highlight the Link in Title & Thumbnail
If the livestream is about “Thrift Shopping in Japan,” the short video could be “Top 3 Vintage Shops in Tokyo.”
Include a Soft Call-to-Action
For example: “I’ll be sharing more in this week’s livestream—drop by if you’re curious!”
“A short video related to your livestream can bring a steady 5% surprise boost to your entry rate.”
Pollux Chou
Live preview content isn’t just about views—it’s about building a guided journey that leads your audience straight into your livestream.
