Bago ka mag-live, pakinggan mo muna kung paano bumati ang tunay na brodkaster.
Before you go live, listen to how a real broadcaster greets an audience.

Bilisan lang po natin, Tito. Alas-otso po ang live, at marami nang nag-aabang.
Let's make it quick, Tito. The live starts at eight, and lots of people are already waiting.

Ganito: "Magandang gabi po sa ating mga minamahal na suki; malugod namin kayong tinatanggap."

Tito, pagkatapos po niyan, nag-scroll na sila! Sa unang limang segundo po, dapat may benta na.
Tito, by the end of that, they've scrolled away! In the first five seconds, there has to be a sale.

Kaya nga puro estudyante ang suki mo. Ang mga plantitang may pera, gusto ng galang.
That's why your customers are all students. The plantitas with money want to be treated with respect.

Subukan po natin sa private group ng pamilya. Kayo po sa simula, ako sa bentahan.
Let's try it in the family's private group. You do the opening, I'll do the selling.

Nakita mo? Tumigil sa pag-scroll ang mga tita mo nang marinig ang boses ko.
See that? Your titas stopped scrolling the moment they heard my voice.

B
Opo, pero nang ako na ang nagbenta, saka lang po sila nag-mine. Kalahati po ang tama ninyo.
Yes, but they only typed "mine" once I started selling. You're only half right.
