Track 8 of 10

Going Live

This is the track the old Live Academy page promised. It is written for a first broadcast, not for someone who already streams. Where a live shopping feature is still being built, it says so.

Helm University track 8: Going Live
The lessons

What each lesson prepares you to do.

Written as outcomes, not topics. Every lesson says how long it takes and whether the feature exists on Helm today.

Shipped works on Helm today. You can do this right now. Coming is being built. We will not teach it as though it already exists.

Going live creates real orders

A live stream that sells well creates orders you then have to pack and ship on time. If you have not done track 4 yet, do it before your first stream. It takes forty two minutes and it will save you a bad week.
