Combining your efforts is always a wise move. To truly gain the most from your UStream shows you should combine the forces of Ustream with Twitter. Unlike using the Ustream chatroom that only reaches those who choose to enter, Twitter on the other hand has extreme reach, which helps to multiply your viewers in a matter of minutes.
Ustream just recently changed the look of their website and created a wonderful integration between it and Twitter. You can login to Twitter right on the Ustream website and send messages directly to the host of the show. How cool is this!!
By broadcasting your live Ustream link to Twitter you are able to pick up new viewers in minutes. Have your Ustream viewers tweet about your live show and broadcast the link as well gaining more and more unique visitors that you'd never reach on your own.
An added benefit is that by having your Twitter friends bring in their friends to watch you live you are likely to gain new friends and Twitter followers as well.
Why not see how many new friends and viewers you can gain, much like I did last week with my live show and how @unmarketing did with his unplanned live coffee shop ustream show. With no notice Scott had 140 viewers to his show! Scott is the master of viral video and he demonstrated how Ustream and Twitter can work nicely hand in hand. Websites 2 Grow TV, my Ustream show, is live Thursday at 8pm CST at www.Websites2Grow.tv. See ya Thursday!
