Periscope announced that it is rolling out a VIP Program, which will give popular broadcasters access to special rewards, including a VIP badge for their profiles.
In addition to receiving a VIP badge, VIP users will have the chance to be included in a “rotating list of broadcasters for people to follow.” The VIP Program will offer three tiers of benefits (Bronze, Silver and Gold), and users will be assigned to a tier depending on the number of followers they have on Periscope and the number of average total live viewers they attract per broadcast.
Specifically, the Bronze tier requires users to have at least 10,000 followers on Periscope and to have an average of 200 or more total live viewers per broadcast. The Silver tier, meanwhile, requires users to have 30,000 or more followers on Periscope and to have an average of 300 or more total live viewers per broadcast. Finally, the Gold tier requires users to have at least 100,000 followers on Periscope and to have an average of 500 or more total live viewers per broadcast. Users must also broadcast at least twice per week, on average, to be eligible for any of the three tiers. VIP users in the Bronze tier will receive the following rewards:

Bronze badge on your Periscope profile.
Care packages to ensure that you look on point while broadcasting.
Prioritization in people search results, so people can find you more easily.
Access to the latest best practices and materials to help you create great broa...
