Meta shares inspiration to Facebook live streams. This is through a recent blog featured by Meta for creators. On the same day last year, the platform enabled multi-participants on live streams. That is why it is now sharing ideas and tips to fuel creators.
The inspiration comes from 3 creators that have significantly driven engagement using Facebook live videos. They are the Mexican beauties Lupita Cardoza, Maggie Magaña, and Priscila Arias. These lifestyle content creators have found that Facebook live streams are effective ways to drive results and improve closer connections.

Live streams have become a part of Lupita’s content strategy because it shows a great impact on the day-to-day lives of her viewers. Lupita follows a topic schedule about her daily routine and relevant trends. She also learned the importance of pre-production – from having a script to key ideas on materials and props.
Maggie Magaña
Maggie Magaña gathered 54 million views on her live streams from May to October 2021. She decided to continue using such a format after seeing an overall increase in her Facebook engagement stats, including comments, interactions, and sharing.
