<b>Q: My live shopping viewer count is good but conversions are weak. What's leaking?</b>

A: With decent viewers and low sales, the leak is almost always one of three things — and they're all fixable mid-stream:

— No urgency: "available anytime" kills live buying. Use limited-time live-only pricing or limited stock counts you call out as they drop.
— Buried CTA: if you're not telling people the exact tap path every few minutes, new joiners never find it. Repeat "tap the pinned product, then checkout" constantly.
— Trust gap: show the product physically, demo it, answer a real comment by name. Live converts on proof, not polish.

Also worth knowing: watch your join-time data after. If most viewers leave within 30 seconds, your conversion problem is actually a retention problem — fix the opening hook, not the offer.
