Can I cancel my Live Blog subscription?
Yes, you can cancel your Advanced or Professional subscription on a monthly basis in your settings under Prices & Packages if you have booked via Stripe.
If you have a customized package and receive invoices from our accounting department, you can cancel your subscription anytime. However, the contract will only be terminated at the end of the contract period. In this case, please contact your Tickaroo contact person.
What will happen to my On Demand credits after canceling my subscription?
If you wish to delete your Tickaroo account but still have Live Blog credits remaining from your On Demand subscription, these credits will expire and cannot be refunded.
If you decide to temporarily pause the use of Tickaroo, your On Demand live blog credits will remain in your organization and will not expire.
What will happen to my Tickaroo account after canceling my subscription?
If you cancel your Tickaroo subscription, your live blogs will no longer be displayed on your website after the contract period ends. However, your account and your previously created live blogs will be unaffected, and you will continue to have access to your Tickaroo organization.
If you want to delete your account completely, please contact our Support Team.
How do I integrate live blogs into my website?
With our widgets, you can embed your live blogs into your website in just a few steps:
- Copy the Widget Code into the source code of your website or application.
- Replace the Live Blog ID with the ID of your live blog.
- Configure your theme to customize the appearance without having to do any programming.
For a flawless integration, check out our EmbedJS documentation or ask us directly via support@tickaroo.com.
Can I change the layout & design of my live blog within the Tickaroo Live Blog editor?
Tickaroo allows you to create your own liveblog themes within the Tickaroo user interface.
Choose your customized theme and generate your widget code, which you can then integrate into your website.
Why is engagement important for my live blog?
Engagement is intended to create a positive experience for your readers and your coverage so that they will remember it fondly and be more inclined to return to your brand in the future.
In addition, integrating interesting content can increase the media time on your website, as your readers enjoy interacting with the content and thus voluntarily keep the tab with your live blog open for longer. These higher retention rates increase the opportunity for more ad revenue.
What third party content providers can I use to increase engagement in my live blog?
All the third party providers and content partners we list here or that provide their content within an iframe can be used as inspiration and integrated directly into your Tickaroo Live Blog.
Should one of your favorite content providers not be listed here, please contact us at support@tickaroo.com and we can see if we can take special steps to add them into our third-party content library.

How do I use Tickaroo's Live-Comment Function to increase engagement?
Your readers appreciate it when you not only inform them about a topic in your live blog but also ask them directly for their opinion.
With Tickaroo's comment function, you actively involve your readers in discussions surrounding the news and connect with them in real-time. This increases reader engagement and builds trust in your coverage.

How can I support revenue streams with Tickaroo Live Blog?
Finding new sources of income is imperative, especially in the news sector. Live blogs are not only a great interactive format for engaging with audiences but also hold lucrative potential.
With their high click and long retention rates, live blogs offer several monetization opportunities. You can read more about these opportunities in our whitepaper: How to Create Revenue Streams in a World of Free Content.
Is integrating ads directly into my live blog a good idea?
Yes! In the case of longer live blogs, more display ads can be placed without overwhelming the reader compared to conventional articles. Due to the diverse format, video ads can also be placed within the live blog to capture readers' attention easily. However, be careful not to overload your live blogs with ads. And be sure to avoid ads on sensitive topics to keep the focus on the latest news.
You can still earn ad revenue without including ads within the live blog itself by recruiting. You can offer your live blog with an advertising partner or event sponsor. Unobtrusive inserts such as "This blog is presented by..." do not disrupt the user experience but guarantee high visibility for sponsors or cooperation partners due to their continuous presence.
More information on monetization can be found in our whitepaper, How to Create Revenue Streams in a World of Free Content.
Can I sell my Tickaroo live blogs?
Yes! In the Tickaroo Marketplace you can offer your live blogs to other publishers for a fee. This not only generates lucrative revenue, but also acts as a multiplier and increases the visibility of the live blog enormously.
Is there a Tickaroo Live Blog App?
