Going live on eZfan is one of the highest-earning activities available to creators. Live streams earn from virtual gifts in real time, attract new followers via the live discovery feed, and build audience loyalty that recorded content simply can't replicate.

Before You Go Live

  1. 1.Check your internet speed: minimum 5Mbps upload for stable 720p streaming
  2. 2.Charge your device to 80%+ or plug it in for the duration of the stream
  3. 3.Set your stream title and choose a cover image in Studio → Go Live
  4. 4.Announce 24–48 hours in advance on your profile feed and any external socials
  5. 5.Prepare 3–5 discussion points or activities to avoid dead air

The Critical First 90 Seconds

Start with a loud, clear greeting and immediately tell viewers what the next 30 minutes will cover. Viewers who understand the value within the first 2 minutes are 3× more likely to send a gift and 5× more likely to stay for the full stream.

Read gift senders' names out loud. Personalisation during a live stream drives a feedback loop: other viewers send gifts to get the same recognition.

Gift Revenue During Streams

Virtual gifts convert to coins, which you withdraw at the standard 80% rate. Top-performing live streams on eZfan earn $200–$2,000 per hour in gifts. Creators who hit the top tier of the Gift Leaderboard during a stream receive a discovery visibility boost for 48 hours.

Stream Lengths That Perform

Platform data shows that 45–90 minute streams have the best gift-per-viewer rate. Shorter streams don't give viewers time to build engagement; longer streams see viewer dropout without structured content breaks.

Turning Your Stream Into Reels

Every live stream is automatically saved as a replay in your Studio. You can trim highlights into Reels directly from the replay editor — a powerful way to repurpose one hour of live content into 5–8 discovery-feed clips.

Subscriber-Only Streams

For premium content, set your stream to 'Subscribers Only' before going live. This restricts viewing to specific subscription tiers, making it an exclusive event — one of the best retention tools for keeping fans subscribed month over month.
