We’re excited to share our first State of Livestream Selling Report, highlighting the incredible growth and impact of livestream selling on individuals and businesses. Thanks to the dedication and passion of our sellers—whether solo entrepreneurs or running brick-and-mortar stores—we’ve reached an exciting milestone: surpassing $2 billion in livestream sales in 2024 alone. One thing is clear: the future of shopping is here, and it’s live! Some key highlights from our report, developed with insights from Wakefield Research and Gene Marks: - Two-thirds of sellers (66%) earn more than $10,000 per month through livestream selling. Meanwhile, one in four sellers report making over $300,000 annually. - Over 175,000 hours of livestreams are hosted each week on Whatnot, 800x more than QVC! - 41% of sellers now generate more than half of their total annual sales from live selling. Check out the full report and see how livestream selling is shaping the future of e-commerce. #SocialCommerce #LivestreamShopping #LivestreamSelling #Ecommerce #Whatnot #StateOfLivestreamSelling #RetailInnovation #LiveCommerce

But what really builds that sense of community is when sellers can recognize and engage with buyers from one show to the next.

In 2022, Zoreen quit her finance job to find work that fed her soul. Shortly after she found her way to Whatnot and within a month of shopping from fashion sellers, she thought, “I can do this.” Zoreen now sells clothing full-time on the platform, often bringing in more than $100,000 per month.

Late last year, Becky brought her reselling business to Whatnot, where she now earns an average of £3,000 for each live show she hosts on the platform. "Customers are tuning in to watch my show specifically because of me! Other marketplaces don’t offer the same level of connection. I really appreciate the interactive aspect because selling online full-time can be lonely."
