Grow your audience on Mixlr
Tips for attracting more listeners and building a loyal audience on Mixlr.
Growing your audience on Mixlr comes down to a few consistent habits — broadcasting regularly, making your channel easy to find, and keeping your listeners engaged. Here are the most effective ways to bring in more listeners and keep them coming back.
Broadcast regularly
Listeners are much more likely to tune in consistently if they know when to expect you. Broadcasting at a regular time — the same day and time each week, for example — makes it easy for your audience to build your show into their routine.
Tip: Enable a fallback stream so your channel keeps playing content even when you're not live. See Set up an automatic fallback stream.
Customise your channel
A complete, well-presented channel makes a strong first impression and tells listeners what to expect. Add a profile picture, cover artwork, a bio, and links to your external sites from your Creators dashboard.
See How to customise your Mixlr channel.
Schedule events in advance
Use the events feature to let your listeners know when upcoming shows are happening. Scheduled events appear on your Mixlr channel, so listeners browsing your page can see exactly when your next broadcast is.
Embed your player on your website
Reach listeners who aren't already on Mixlr by embedding your live player directly on your website or blog. Anyone visiting your site can tune in without needing to come to Mixlr first.
See Add the embed player to your website.
Promote your broadcasts
Share your upcoming events on social media, your website, your mailing list, or any other channels you use. Promoting your show in advance gives listeners time to plan around it — a last-minute post is easy to miss.

Engage with your listeners
Listeners who feel connected to you are more likely to keep coming back. Use the live chat stream during your broadcasts to acknowledge your audience, answer questions, and say hello to people as they join. Shows with active listener engagement tend to keep people tuned in for longer.
Encourage listeners to follow you
When a listener follows your channel on Mixlr, they automatically receive a notification each time you go live. Remind your listeners to hit follow — it's the best way to make sure they don't miss a broadcast.
