Q: What should I check in the 30 minutes before going live to sell?

A: Run this pre-stream checklist so nothing breaks mid-broadcast:
— Confirm every product you'll show is approved and in stock — a sold-out pin can't be bought.
— Test your lighting and frame the product where the pinned card won't cover it.
— Wire your phone to power; a 60-minute live drains battery fast and a mid-stream death loses all momentum.
— Check upload speed (aim 10+ Mbps up) on a stable connection, not crowded WiFi.
— Pre-write your pinned product order and prices on paper so you're not fumbling.
— Post a 'going live in 30 min' story or short video to pull early viewers.

A crash at minute 10 costs you the concurrent audience you spent 10 minutes building, so the power and connection checks matter most.

Also worth knowing: do a 2-minute private test stream first to confirm audio levels.
