What the result means
The result shows whether your livestream monetizes attention well. Strong revenue per viewer and diversified revenue sources indicate a healthier stream format.
Product Sales = Product Orders × Average Order Value. Gross Revenue = Donations + Product Sales. Net Revenue = Gross Revenue × 85%. Revenue per Viewer = Net Revenue ÷ Average Viewers.
The calculation uses an estimated 15% platform/payment fee. Adjust manually in your business model if your platform fee is different.
Example calculation
With 800 average viewers, $600 donations, 75 orders, and $35 AOV, gross revenue is $3,225 and estimated net revenue is $2,741.
Tips for better results
- Use limited-time offers during peak viewer moments.
- Pin product links and repeat the value proposition.
- Track donation and commerce separately.
