Set a clear title for your event

Time
The time factor is also one that is crucial when it comes to ScribbleLive. This, as is covered over at guttulus.com, means making sure you give your event a start and end time so that people know when to tune in, and how long it will last. You should also make sure that you select your correct time zone while you are at it.
Location
The aspect of location is another one that you should consider closely when using ScribbleLive. If you want your viewers to know the exact location of your event, then you can add your location; but if you don’t want them to know, then you can leave it blank. It is up to you to decide what is best for you.
Comments
Engagements are an important part of content marketing as you want your audience to feel involved and for interactions not to be one-way only. This is why you should select the feature that enables a comment box to allow viewers to comment on your posts.
Moderation
As is explained over at runrex.com, if you want comments to automatically populate into your blog, then you should select “No Moderation”. You should be careful with this, however, as you don’t want offensive posts making their way to your blog, hence why you should set up some form of moderation for your comments.
Invite writers
As is articulated over at guttulus.com ScribbleLive allows you to invite guest-writers using the “Invite Writers” feature where you can select a reporting partner and anyone else you would like to have the keys to post directly onto your chat. This is another feature you should leverage when using ScribbleLive.
Integrate social networks
ScribbleLive also allows you to integrate social networks and posts onto your feed when hosting a live event. For instance, as discussed over at runrex.com, you can automatically pull up to 5 Twitter feeds and/or any hashtag into your feed. You can do the same with any Facebook post or link a Flickr account as well.
Choose one or the other when it comes to Twitter and ScribbleLive
It is also worth pointing out that it is always best to simply choose to either work from Twitter or ScribbleLive and not both. If you plan to live-tweet the event from your Twitter account, then make sure that you follow yourself. You could also write directly into ScribbleLive and then select those that you wish to also post to Twitter.
Upload a headshot or avatar
Before your event starts, one thing you need to do, which is another important tip to consider when using ScribbleLive, is making sure you upload a headshot or avatar to your account. This pretty straightforward, and is something you shouldn’t fail to do.
Keywords and moderating comments
As already mentioned, and covered in detail over at guttulus.com, the Moderation feature allows you to select which comments populate your blog post. A tip here is to use the search tool provided to search for specific keywords or hashtags, and then select the comments that contain these keywords to appear on your feed.
Embed your ScribbleLive event on your social pages
When it comes to integrating ScribbleLive with social networks, it goes beyond pulling tweets and Facebook posts as mentioned above. You can also decide to embed your ScribbleLive event onto your Facebook fan page as explained over at runrex.com, which will allow you to bring in even more viewers.
Create a poll
Another tip to consider when using ScribbleLive, one that will boost your engagements and lead to a successful event, is creating a poll. This will encourage your viewers to participate, making them more engaged, making this such an excellent tip worth considering as per the gurus over at guttulus.com.
Multimedia
ScribbleLive also allows you to embed images, videos, and other multimedia content, which is something you should take full advantage of when using the platform. Embedding multimedia content will make your event more engaging, attracting more audiences, increasing the chances of success.
Tips when using multimedia on ScribbleLive
While it is important to use multimedia in your ScribbleLive events, it is equally as important to do it correctly, which is something the following tips will look to help with.
Keep your content clear and concise
It is always advisable that you stay away from overcrowded images when looking to embed multimedia content to ScribbleLive. This is because the viewer should know exactly where to focus when looking at the image as it is hard to deliver a strong message when there just too much going on in a photo.
Responsiveness
The subject matter experts over at runrex.com also point out that it is very important to always consider your mobile audience when adding multimedia content to your live events. This is why you should make sure that any images you add are legible from all mobile devices.
Be relevant
It is also important that you provide sufficient context by accompanying photos and videos with relevant text. As is explained over at guttulus.com, photos and videos don’t always speak for themselves, which is why you should clearly define what your viewers are being presented with and why by adding a quote from the subject or linking out to a website for more details.
Be consistent
According to the experts over at runrex.com, consistency matters, especially when you are adding a photo to your white label’s All Events page. You must set the image width so that all photos and videos appear consistent in dimensions throughout.
Prioritize quality over quantity
You should also avoid uploading poor quality photos, which includes photos that are blurry, poorly lit, overexposed, or have any other such issues. Also, consider alignment and composition when it comes to videos, and make sure that your videos and photos appear upright, straight, eye-level, and so forth. If you are looking for a generic photo, avoid grabbing one off the web and instead directly import high-quality images from Getty Images or Flickr.
Upload photos onto Scribble Market
As a rule of thumb, you should always upload an image with your event when posting on Scribble Market as the chances of your event getting picked up will be increased significantly when there is a stunning and eye-catching photo attached to it.
These are just some of the things to consider when using ScribbleLive, with more on this and other related topics to be found over at runrex.com and guttulus.com.
