      Hey TwoShoes! Loved the video! I'm beginning to stream soon and I'm in the "preparation phase" of it and everything is set up, but I still don't have a name! Do you have any advice on how to find a name for my account? thanks

    I do have a remark about the patience one though, sometimes it's okay to just go for it, start doing it, start doing something at least. Keep thinking about it or keep planning and it won't get you nowhere. I started out with another YT channel and I just started making videos while I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, could not edit so I would just record it in one take, had a crappy cam and all that. One of those videos actually got me more than 2K views.
    After that I started to watch videos about content creation and stuff and I realised I was nowhere near an acceptable level of creating and that actually started to hold me back, all the plans, all the things that could be better, but while I was sitting on that, I wasn't putting anything out there so I wasn't really doing anything, because there was always a video to watch about how to do an even better job...
    So keep a healthy level of just doing it and keep thinking about it a little bit longer I guess ^^

    One of the hardest years for my wife and I and I am so happy to see her hustling even through the hardship! Twitch has helped her get back into something she loves which is enjoying video games with friends and family! With your help and support of people around us she has been able to get Affiliate in a short few weeks and continues to grow weekly! Hope you see her name up with the big ones enjoying games and the hustle! Thank you!

    As a starting streamer transitioning from TikTok "fame" (300k) I'm so so glad I spent weeks just binge watching streaming advice before actually starting. I was able to avoid a lot of the stuff you said not to do.
    The only difference I would say is that I started when I didn't have everything I really should've. I barely understood OBS and things were a little janky, but I had established a small following and kept at it, and my channel only gets a little better and better each day.

    Thank you for all the pointers! I've been streaming for 11 months but I still clicked immediately. :)
    I completely agree about getting those first viewers organically! I was super embarrassed about being a "Minecraft streamer" and didn't send my link to anyone. I got my first viewers through Twitch, then I got involved in Discord communities, which made all the difference! Y'all got this, even if you don't have that support from the start.

    The first tip is so real. It also makes it slightly worse in that if people search from Low to High, and you have 3 friends lurking, then you will be was lower in the Low To High search. And there is a lot of people that use that Filter. So you make it even harder for you to gain real organic viewers, that actually might follow and be a returning viewer.

    • @sofiabruiz17
      @sofiabruiz17 8 месяцев назад

      Depends on the category your streaming. If it's a huge one it may be good to have 0. But if its medium to small, just by having 4 you already appear in the second or third line of recommended which is what most people use. Rarely ever people go for "low to high" unless they really wanna support someone (which I usually do). Most people go for the recommended

    As always, an amazing video!❤️ I’ve been a little down lately. I haven’t been streaming lately and when I do, I haven’t gotten many followers but I’m slowly but surely working to improve. I’ve been rewatching my VODS, taking notes on what I could do better.
    The only thing that’s really getting to me is not having a PC yet. I only need a GPU, CPU, RAM and a fan but I don’t have the opportunity to spend money on that stuff yet but I still want to stream. I decided to switch from Overwatch because streaming that directly from PS4 looks really pixelated

    Good video! But at "Patience, Young Padawan" I think it is critical to do the error in the beginning. The time and effort you put into this error as a streamer, will have you made you good! You probably come out with even more ideas and how to improve them! I take alot of your input to use at the my stream! A Little Effort.. is really good! Mods is where I am at! I will now implement aswell! I must ask you what type of requirements do you have on your mods? Keep up the good work!

    • @xTwoShoes
      @xTwoShoes  3 года назад

      Good point! This section kind of more applies to say, ideas you have for your stream. Like "Ohh I should stream this new game" and instead of making taking some time to plan it out and in my case, maybe make some new alerts or sound effects that are inspired from the game, Ill just dive headfirst into the stream when I know it could have been better:) Learning from natural mistakes is a must, but if you KNOW you could be doing better from the start, it's slightly differnt imo:)

      @@xTwoShoes Results are in: Went live on a completely new account wothout even setting a category in hopes of not being discovered.
      started on muted stream for about 3 minutes. 1 viewer. (only myself in viewer list) unmuted the stream for about 3 minutes. still 1 viewer (still only myself in viewer list) checked viewer list again and had my first bot in chat (i'm guessing here because who watches a completely black screen without any sound for 3 minutes?) viewer count was not affected by "visitor" in the chat because luckily it rarely is by bots of the lurking nature. muted stream for the remaining 3-4 minutes. still 1 viewer.
      either the myth is busted or my highly scientific methods are flawed. ^^
