Community is one of the most valuable reasons to sell on live video (or to go live at all!). That's what Parker is talking all about in Part 6 of the mini series, "Mastering Live Sales: A Handmade Seller's Guide."

Parker provides tips for cultivating community during a live video in this episode. Also, he explains how this opportunity to react quickly and interact directly with our audiences is the biggest way we can set ourselves apart from the bigger corporate competitors.

Part 5 of "Mastering Live Sales: A Handmade Seller's Guide" is all about what happens after you show up for a live sale! First and foremost, congratulations and take a moment to be proud of yourself for showing up. It isn't easy to put yourself out there live!
Now that you've made some sales live, you're going to have to spend some time processing orders and payments, and gathering information like shipping addresses. You'll also want to spend some time assessing how you think it went and what you might want to do again in the future and what you would like to do differently. Learn more about the steps to take after the "live" part of your live sale is over in today's episode.
