While Charlie, ire, and their father-inw Jacob enjoyed their meal at the restaurant, ine quietly retreated to her room and opened the short video tform.


    In a world where anyone can be an online anchor—even a dog can stream live—the only distinction lies in whether or not they have an audience.


    ine fumbled her way through creating her own live broadcast room, ultimately naming it “Sister ine’s live broadcast room.”


    With the live broadcast room set up, sheunched her very first online live stream.


    As soon as the stream began, ine immediately sought ways to fill her shopping cart. Having watched Souna’s broadcasts, she understood that showcasing products was key to a sessful stream. To do this, she needed a small yellow cart, which would allow her audience to ce orders once she shared the product links.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, after searching for quite some time, she found herself unable to locate the shopping cart feature.


    Feeling frustrated, she turned to a search engine and typed in, “Why is there no little yellow car during the live broadcast?”


    The results left ine feeling defeated.


    She read the top answer, muttering to herself, “You need to have over 1,000 fans to unlock the little yellow car… Seriously? 1,000 fans?!”


    ine cursed under her breath as she nced at her fan count—zero.


    Until now, ine had only observed others on the short video tform and had never posted anything herself. Her ount even bore the default username, leaving her with very few fans or friends.


    Faced with the disappointing requirement of 1,000 fans to ess the shopping cart, she felt disheartened. “This ridiculous tform is so absurd! Why must I have 1,000 fans just to broadcast and sell products? Isn’t that just humiliating?” she thought.


    Determined to find a solution, ine quickly searched for “How can I add a yellow car if I don’t have 1,000 followers?”


    The top response suggested that if one has fewer than 1,000 followers, they should create more engaging short videos that cater to trending topics. Adding popr tags and descriptions could increase exposure through the system’s algorithm. It also mentioned that going live could attract fans more rapidly. If all else fails, purchasing followers is an option, with 1,000 fans costing around 200 yuan.


    Reading this, ine scoffed, “I’m not buying fans! That’s just ridiculous! Making short videos one by one will take too long; I’ll just go live right away!”


    She then switched back to the short video app and began her debut live broadcast.


    Starting a live stream was simple, but the challenge was whether anyone would tune in.


    Now, ine was confronted with a ring issue: her live stream was active, yet the viewer count remained at zero.


    After 20 minutes of waiting with no audience, ine frowned in frustration. “Why isn’t anyone watching? Did the tform deliberately restrict my traffic?!”


    After contemting this, she searched online again for reasons why no one was viewing her live broadcast.


    Before long, she discovered what she believed to be a reliable answer. It exined that for neers, cold-start live broadcasts experience slow traffic growth. To improve fan retention and get the official algorithm to recognize her, she needed to enhance her engagement metrics. One suggestion was to invest in official promotion, starting with one or two thousand yuan, which could yield immediate results.<fnf418> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n F?nd-Novel</fnf418>


    ine nodded thoughtfully and remarked, “Of course, good things need a little investment! I’ll find a way to attract my first audience! It’s just one or two thousand yuan—no big deal!”


    Taking the advice to heart, ine quickly followed the steps outlined by the source and invested 2,000 yuan to promote her live broadcast room on the official promotion page.
