Livestream shopping in the US is estimated to become a $6 billion market this year and $25 billion by 2023, according to research firm Coresight Research. Originally popularized in Asia, this method of ecommerce is like a modern QVC show meets Instagram Live.

Small businesses and resellers are using livestream shows to personally connect with their customers in real-time. Several apps and platforms offer the technology, but it still hasn't quite reached mass adoption in the US, which means you have a chance to get ahead of the curve by building up a loyal following now.

Join us for our free event on July 1 at 1 PM EST/10 AM PST. We'll explain what livestream shopping is and ask sellers for their best tips for gaining loyal viewers and making sales.
