Best free event listing
Live Video is Extremely Engaging: According to Facebook Live, users spend more than 3 x more time and comment 10 x more when the video is live.
Live Video Grows Attendance: 30% of people who watch a live stream of an
free event listing will attend the same event the following year.
Live Video is Cost-Effective: It’s a common misconception that live video is costly, but thanks to tools like Facebook Live, anyone can leverage the technology and see a positive return on investment.
Periscope Watch Live & Playback
Periscope (from Twitter) gives you a platform to broadcast live video coverage to your social followers. Anyone can watch and anyone can comment, but the videos themselves are fleeting, they disappear from the platform after 24 hours.
Once the live broadcast is over, be sure you opt to save it to your camera roll. If you don’t, you won’t have anything to share and replay at a later date; so make sure you have this step 100% figured out and tested before proceeding. You can then upload these pre-recorded videos to your WordPress site, without all the Periscope comments and love, just as you would any other video.
Live Streaming With Discord
Discord, the voice and text chat originally designed for gamers, has found that its users rely on it for much more; including communication while collaborating and working remotely. In response to coronavirus, they have enhanced features on their Go Live streaming service to support 50 users (a huge upgrade from the previous limit of 10).

Promote event marketing on Google Search
In light of the recent COVID-19 virus outbreak, Google has released some new features; for updating current events and advertising virtual events in Google search results.
There are different requirements depending on if the event is happening online or at a physical location:
Physical Venue: If the event is happening at a physical location, set the @type to Place. Add the location. address and location.name properties.
Online Event: If the event is happening online, set the @type to VirtualLocation. Add the location.url property.
Mix of online and physical locations: If an event has a mix of online and physical location components, include both online and physical nested location properties in a nested array. For example
Be sure to use all the relevant ‘event’ schema markup on your event’s conversion page. If your event is virtual, specify VirtualLocation for the event location and OnlineEventAttendanceMode for the eventAttendanceMode property.
PRO TIP: You can start using the VirtualLocation type even though it’s still pending on schema.org.
Update your cancelled, postponed, or event marketing in Google Search
Google wants to show users the latest, most accurate info about your events in this fast-changing world; and so they have added some new, optional properties to their developer documentation to help. These properties apply to all regions and languages. This is one part of the overall efforts in schema updates needed to support publishers and users.
Here are some important tips on keeping Google and users up to date on your events:
Add the eventStatus property: Use this property to tell Google that the event has been cancelled, postponed, rescheduled, or happening as planned. Follow this link to learn more about the Event Status Property.
Update Google when your event pages change: Provide a sitemap to Google, and keep the lastmod attributes up to date. If your site host generates your sitemap automatically, it’s taken care of for you.
