As someone who had been watching way too many of these types of videos, yours stands out because it really focuses on the MINDSET that you have to have and I 100% vibe with it. That entrepreneurial mentality that is healthily competitive with others and yourself, is always accountable for your own improvement and success, learns from those who are at the level you want to be, and is never complacent. I feel like that’s not just a collection of skills used to be successful on twitch, but successful with anything you choose to pursue!
As for stream beats, u are absolutely amazing for giving it to us for free. Love ur passion for helping smaller streamers and other streamers in general. Love it man. Thanks so much.
@@MeYeRtoGo Yo please tell me where the intro from your channel trailer came from. I've seen something just like that before and it's driving me insane that I can't remember where XD
Hoping to apply some of the advice you gave in this video. I have 56 followers, reached affiliate yet lack views. Average ends up being anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 per stream.
"Most of you won't even try to compete with me" - and just like that, the gauntlet was down and the challenge was set. Absolutely AM gonna try and compete! See you when I have a thousand viewers and some banger videos!
I've heard its better to ask only if they enter chat not just being a viewer. If they enter chat, then they're not lurking and wanna engage. Whereas calling out a lurking can scare them away. At least that's the consensus I've taken away from a lot of twitch how to videos
@SenorHarveyHimself :D I'm averaging 3 currently and my advice is promote on other platforms! Not annoyingly to the point where you only post your twitch but gain an audience of people who like your content :)
Bro if I could get 5 viewers for more than 15 minutes I’d be ecstatic. I usually have 1-3 and those are all friends. I’ve only had a few random people show up and it’s usually only for a few minutes. But i agree, 20 views would be amazing
That would be cool to have, but I wouldn't call that a goal, personally. Alpha has talked about this before, but essentially, getting a certain amount of viewers is reliant on other people watching / following you. A goal is something that you need to have complete control of. Such as, "I'm going to upload one video each week." Idk if this is helpful at all or not, but this is a big takeaway I've kept close to my chest.
I started my Twitch journey back November to a solid 2 viewers, and after 10 months of hard work and heavy guidance from your videos I'm nearly at 75 monthly average :) Thanks for everything you do for the community, my dude!
I've been streaming for roughly 4 months now, and I've almost reached affiliate! I'm trying my hardest every night. Throughout my day, I'm pretty busy, but at night I can sit down and stream. I love to stream and I hope I can reach something big one day! I will keep these in mind! Thank you
Same! I've been streaming since August and I have the followers but still not the views! Though i think people are watching my streams offline!? I stream WoW everyday and I love to talk to people while I game!
@@darkman699 WoW is an "old" game with entrenched players that typically already know the content of the game and already have their "favorite" streamers to watch for that content. Watchers of WoW streams are more than likely players of Wow and would rather be playing than watching a rehash of content they already completed or would rather complete themself. If there is a WoW streamer with a ton of viewers then the viewers are probably there for the streamer and not to watch them play. That's not to say you won't get viewers playing it, but it's highly unlikely that you will get many if any.
CerealOverdrive CerealOverdrive Absolutely, a lot of the advice applies to RUclips as well. I’m not sure about the SEO for Twitch, as I haven’t done much research into that, but optimizing that across RUclips is SO important

I brought this up in his discord channel a couple weeks ago and someone said that he was working on it. idk if that person is a credible source or not but hopefully that's true.
I just started "streaming" on twitch and I honestly felt lost, all the tech, configuration. Finding your channel was awesome, you're answering a lot of questions that I had.
I'm an italian Content Creator, and I Try to make content in my native Language and trust me is so hard to find a big userbase in the italiano videogames community, I'm Streaming since May and doing Vids on RUclips for one Year and i Still have just 330 Subscriber, but still, watching my first video, and then my last ones I feel so accomplished, so growth both as a content creator both as a Person and I'll continue to create content ultil I Won't be satisfied, THX for every advise. Sorry for my bad English!
I destroyed myself with the "get too comfortable" .... i stream 3 years, i got growth with Warcraft 3 game, and cus of this feeling like things are good, i forgot what made me grow and now i cant really go back. Im basically start from scratch, with handfull of people left. I could have done so many things that i didnt. But thats life. I will try again.
Not from scratch. You got experience that others don’t have. It may be a newer start or restart but you know what you can do. I’m barely nearing my 1.5 years streaming and only now starting to get what makes me different to everyone else. Take your earned experience and use it as a boost. You got this!
@@dougf1249 ooooh im curious to know what makes you different! I think for me.. I use anything thrown my way to crack jokes and improv witty banter on the fly with my community. So when being shown RUclips videos, trailers, video games, conversation etc I'm quick to turn them into things that make chat laugh.
@@adamklase8547 i do that aswell with rly limited people right now, before when i tried things like you wrote down ,ppl just ignored and were leaving , because Warcraft 3 is totaly different streaming community... all the players are old school, tryhard and pretty much toxic. All they care about is gameplay over and over and over again and you must be really good , cus you compete with ppl that didnt stop playing the game for 16 years in a row. Im currently trying again but my motivation is rly low. I got from full paying streaming carreer into the abyss. videos that im posting on youtube - just check them if you can and tell me what am i doing wrong, i mean for real i cant figure out a way outta this. Does Harris take like some request for donos to check ppls channels and stuff?
Adam Klase in honesty; pretty close to that. It’s my personality. We (my community) have a phrase coined called hashtag quality content. For bad or good something fun or funny or silly or surprising always happens every stream. Usually not in my favor. Add that in with a sarcastic goof and people find me entertaining. Ya not much a separation from everyone else but that’s what i’ve found. I’m an okay potato in fps games and decent in other games so people don’t come to see the best gameplay.
xqc I am fine with but pokimane not so much not because of her content but some of drama and stuff shes done like false taking down bowblax video and trying to remove itsagundam sponsers which worked and he lost a lot of money from it and sending her fanbase to dislike his videos
Ben Nunan only in the way that they’re both white dudes with dyed blond hair and slightly receded hairlines on the temples. It is literally just the hair colour, imagine if either had black hair would they look at all similar? Nah.
I've been streaming for 3 years consistently now. I've gone from 0-3 (6 months), 10-20 (1-2 years), and am now at 25-50 (2 years+). I've slowly been growing but I definitely know I would do well with an audience. Thank you for the input 🙏
@@25Deception appreciate that man, a slow incline up is better than nothing. Sometimes feels like going nowhere but stats never lie and every day you learn and get better so that helps too
@@dougf1249 *consistently* I've been streaming on a strict schedule consistently for 3 years. I haven't stopped or slowed down. I was streaming about 12-15 hours a week but I recently quit my job to stream full time and now stream 5 days a week almost 50 hours a week. It's a tough biz to make it in, still fighting my way through.
Well a tiny bit I disagree on: Sometimes you dislike Creators because they do absolute shit to reach attention, you can't learn how to improve on them. probably the only RUclipsrs I don't like are scammers, people who lie to their community, people who just follow trends, who steal content, who only do it for the money. And it works, these creators always achieve success compared to creators who do it for passion. I only learn one thing from them, what not to do if I want to be a good person. Even if it would mean attention and money.
I don't generally comment because knowing you, it's likely you already try to read them all. I absolutely had to say thank you for everything you do for the streaming community! Saying what needs to be said and dedicating your time to making sure others can learn from the experience and knowledge you have is incredibly admirable. Apologies for the long comment, keep doing what you do.
Definitely took all your advise and got affiliated on twitch in 2 weeks !! Gonna keep growing and changing for the better ! Thanks for the advise and the HARD TRUTHS 💯
"there is a reason that over the las couple of years i am being transparent witout worrying that I am gonna lose my edge, it is because I know that most of You won´t even TRY to compete with me" damn that was so deeply true. that is scary and sad.
It's not sad or scary imo . It's the truth people like to get comfy so they dont try harder or push themselves enough. I'm guilty of that myself but I dont think it's scary since its something you choose. It's scary being delusional ,and realizing you are delusional it's a slap, as a maths teacher once said to me while we were chatting..
I appreciate streams more and more everyday. I recently started and I'm realizing the amount of work and the learning curve it takes to do it. Just for my basic scene set-up, I spent 15 hours researching the best way to do things. I'm constantly editing and making minor changes just to be a tiny bit better. It's crazy and it takes real effort.
Harris always makes such grounding videos. I always appreciate hearing his perspective. If you’re a new content creator like me reading this good luck gamer. You got this.
Hey Harris, ive been posting on this channel for nearly five months. I've started off strong, using thumbnails, good editing softwares (adobe softwares), editing my videos really well, uploading every weekend and i'm only 13. In five months i've got 44 subs. Now they are just starting to dramatically slow down. (i also stream on twitch). I know that at 2:43 you said about THAT, but i think this is different. I'm not saying that you're doing this wrong, but could you help me understand what I'M doing wrong? Thanks
My father: "Those people that give advice on this stuff don't tell you everything because they want to keep the real secrets to themselves." Harris: 8:47
@@crookdletterj3651 I mean not really, lets take competitive game play as an example, i was on the #1 ranked team in TFC, and a pro level player in CS 1.6 back in the day. Ive coached a few teams in ESEA, bla bla...basically i know my shit, and im really good at games. Ive never held back in teaching people because....99.999% of them will never be able to touch me because they will NOT put in the work. Look at Jordan, best player ever...worked his ass off, said he did, talked about this same kind of thing. and on and on and on....SO many greats i could name that their #1 piece of advice is...work hard at it, and their #2 would most likely be to look at yourself first when a problem happens. Just those 2 pieces of advice have been given over and over and over by so many super successful people...yet those are the two hardest things for most to do, so they dismiss it and try and make up some other reason that person has success that they dont, like what you just did.
Absolutely... like don't even come if you will just come in and leave without saying goodbye or gtg... say you are leaving, i will tell you to have a great day and i will see you next time or something :/
@@Jo2cooL ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh and another thing which I haven't figured out is ... when i log into my twitch from my PC I cannot chat but if i log in from my phone i can chat ... I don't know how to fix it :(
"Focus on improvement over growth." Needed to hear this, thanks. My channel is slow going, but every time I post it feels like the best one I've made so far, and that's a great feeling!
well i do make good content compared to other ppl who stream the stuff i do, like my stream has chill music, good quality, goof transitions and good looks, my thumbnails are the best (ish) and im just getting 3 viewers average, over 10 is like amazing, but when i compare my streams to others I have no idea why im getting low viewership, i mean there was a stream with 30 ppl watching an 12 yr old 480p stream with some ppl talking in the background loudly, i mean idk do i need to pay to someone or do collabs to advertise myself or idk?
I just passed 200 subs today. I think I’m struggling most with trying to sound natural in my videos. I don’t want to sound like I’m delivering a book report.
Your videos have helped me so much with my new twitch channel cuz I’ve always loved watching other streamers and always wished I could do things like that as well. And after watching you videos, it’s really helped me learn what to expect, what to improve on, and SO MUCH MORE so thank you for that!😊💜
"stop focusing on growth" is the best lesson! I used to get really stressed seeing other streamers grow fast around me, but that made my streams quality go down. Because my stream were stressed... Now I play what I want, how I want and have so much more fun. And slowly growing 🥳
@Senpai Gaming This may sound like an out of the blue comment. Why do you think that upcoming content creators are struggling with the things you mentioned in this video, as well as all of your other videos. I am a new subscriber and I'll admit that. But I keep questioning the fact that most content creators nowadays are posting more and more about their process, and what worked for them, but I have to say as someone who is looking into getting into the industry, I constantly struggle with the social anxiety, life pressures, as well as uncertainty when it comes to actually creating content. I've been back and forth on what I want to create, from streaming, RUclips videos, as well as podcasting. But I still cant seem to find the right push to actually fully commit to them. Typically when I come to hurdles in my life I just say F*** it and just do it. How is that any different than the struggles I currently face with starting my Content creation business? I honestly haven't seen a reply to any RUclips Comment from any creator across my subscriptions. I hope to see one form you! As always have a great one!!
Imma be honest with you, might be dangerous here at RUclips land... But I am a content Creator and I love it however, I'm homeless atm and needed to step away from it. Now I'm working 13 hour graveyard shifts at a homeless shelter, and considering another full time job. I'm doing that for two reasons, to get a place for me and my family #1 of course. However I'm also working so hard, so I can get back to doing what I love, streaming and making videos... The advice you give, really helps with perspective and motivation. You're like a coach, always reminding me. "I can do it... but it won't be easy. Work hard, and improve." Genuinely... Thank you.
Harris isn’t the Hero we deserve but the Hero we needed! I started content creation 6 months ago and you have helped more than you know. I have been focussing a lot of TikTok and got 42k followers in that time and recommend it to help you grow your content creation career!
Hi, my name is Alice.. I’m a thumbnail artist and I love making thumbnails, if I could be of any free thumbnails assistance to you I would be honored..!
Went from 100 to 10k subs here on YT by putting in the work, in literally 2.5 weeks. It's not easy and I pulled several nights in a row of 4-5 hours of sleep to keep the content rollin.
when I watch your videos I feel like I'm listening to a preacher the way you speak is so powerful and smooth you've never lacked getting the point across. keep it up. thanks for all the help
When he says that when we put in extra hours, work harder, do something new, for no reward...there is a reward, being proud of yourself for doing slighty better than before, I feel like that is what keeps you pushing even more.
its sad that people want a person with an american or british accent to stay entertained, also you need money for good equipment, i wish i was priveleged
I agree, but trust me it takes a lot of time to get where you want to be, i am doing yt for 2+ years and i still make a lot of mistakes, so for anyone who starts a youtube channel just know that it might take a lot of time to get to the level you want, but its worth it if you have fun in the process
You stream when I stream so unfortunately I can't hop on. But can you make a video on how to get people to click on your twitch. Cuz once someone clicks on my stream I easily get them to follow me
I tried all of these is there any other tips. I do different content, I try to see what people want, I watched people I don’t like to see on what I can improve on, I even say in my vids: comment below what u want to see and I get 0 comments that doesn’t help.

My old drama professor used to say "Anybody can have talent, but what you really need to succeed in your field of choice is tenacity."
Game scents idea, have a scent called tryhard and have it smell like sweat
Could also make one fluo orange colour and smells like cheetos lmao
Gross
You've successfully managed to make my mind vomit with this thought. Thanks...
I'm an italian Content Creator, and I Try to make content in my native Language and trust me is so hard to find a big userbase in the italiano videogames community, I'm Streaming since May and doing Vids on RUclips for one Year and i Still have just 330 Subscriber, but still, watching my first video, and then my last ones I feel so accomplished, so growth both as a content creator both as a Person and I'll continue to create content ultil I Won't be satisfied, THX for every advise. Sorry for my bad English!
I destroyed myself with the "get too comfortable" .... i stream 3 years, i got growth with Warcraft 3 game, and cus of this feeling like things are good, i forgot what made me grow and now i cant really go back. Im basically start from scratch, with handfull of people left. I could have done so many things that i didnt. But thats life. I will try again.
Not from scratch. You got experience that others don’t have. It may be a newer start or restart but you know what you can do.
I’m barely nearing my 1.5 years streaming and only now starting to get what makes me different to everyone else.
Take your earned experience and use it as a boost.
You got this!
@@dougf1249 ooooh im curious to know what makes you different!
I think for me.. I use anything thrown my way to crack jokes and improv witty banter on the fly with my community. So when being shown RUclips videos, trailers, video games, conversation etc I'm quick to turn them into things that make chat laugh.
@@adamklase8547 i do that aswell with rly limited people right now, before when i tried things like you wrote down ,ppl just ignored and were leaving , because Warcraft 3 is totaly different streaming community... all the players are old school, tryhard and pretty much toxic. All they care about is gameplay over and over and over again and you must be really good , cus you compete with ppl that didnt stop playing the game for 16 years in a row. Im currently trying again but my motivation is rly low. I got from full paying streaming carreer into the abyss. videos that im posting on youtube - just check them if you can and tell me what am i doing wrong, i mean for real i cant figure out a way outta this. Does Harris take like some request for donos to check ppls channels and stuff?
DandaElPanda i’ll look in too. Input always helps
Adam Klase in honesty; pretty close to that. It’s my personality. We (my community) have a phrase coined called hashtag quality content. For bad or good something fun or funny or silly or surprising always happens every stream. Usually not in my favor. Add that in with a sarcastic goof and people find me entertaining. Ya not much a separation from everyone else but that’s what i’ve found.
I’m an okay potato in fps games and decent in other games so people don’t come to see the best gameplay.
"I know most of you won't even try to compete with me"
Is that a challenge?
Lollll xqc and pokimane... he knew what we were thinking. But can’t even disrespect them cuz the grind is real
xqc I am fine with but pokimane not so much not because of her content but some of drama and stuff shes done like false taking down bowblax video and trying to remove itsagundam sponsers which worked and he lost a lot of money from it and sending her fanbase to dislike his videos
@@botcraft76 Really wack thing she did
Anyone else reckon Harris looks like Homelander? 😳
Got milk?
Ben Nunan only in the way that they’re both white dudes with dyed blond hair and slightly receded hairlines on the temples. It is literally just the hair colour, imagine if either had black hair would they look at all similar? Nah.
fr
Homelander got creepy smile
"ah fuck, i can't believe you've done this"
I've been streaming for 3 years consistently now. I've gone from 0-3 (6 months), 10-20 (1-2 years), and am now at 25-50 (2 years+). I've slowly been growing but I definitely know I would do well with an audience. Thank you for the input 🙏
Grats! I applaud ANY progress, even if it's a millimeter closer to your goal than you were before.
@@25Deception appreciate that man, a slow incline up is better than nothing. Sometimes feels like going nowhere but stats never lie and every day you learn and get better so that helps too
When you say constantly; do you mean as often as you can you’re live?
@@dougf1249 *consistently*
I've been streaming on a strict schedule consistently for 3 years. I haven't stopped or slowed down. I was streaming about 12-15 hours a week but I recently quit my job to stream full time and now stream 5 days a week almost 50 hours a week. It's a tough biz to make it in, still fighting my way through.
AlphaTube ahh thank you for the quick reply.
Are you doing any other content?
Great guy, thx for all your help. Thx to you I could get from 0 to 1000 Subs on YT in under a year. Thx Harris and greetings from Germany! 💪💪💪
Well a tiny bit I disagree on: Sometimes you dislike Creators because they do absolute shit to reach attention, you can't learn how to improve on them.
probably the only RUclipsrs I don't like are scammers, people who lie to their community, people who just follow trends, who steal content, who only do it for the money. And it works, these creators always achieve success compared to creators who do it for passion.
I only learn one thing from them, what not to do if I want to be a good person. Even if it would mean attention and money.
I don't generally comment because knowing you, it's likely you already try to read them all. I absolutely had to say thank you for everything you do for the streaming community! Saying what needs to be said and dedicating your time to making sure others can learn from the experience and knowledge you have is incredibly admirable. Apologies for the long comment, keep doing what you do.
Definitely took all your advise and got affiliated on twitch in 2 weeks !! Gonna keep growing and changing for the better ! Thanks for the advise and the HARD TRUTHS 💯
“From that [music failure] I’ve learned some INSTRUMENTAL things...”
Haha. Instrumental.
"there is a reason that over the las couple of years i am being transparent witout worrying that I am gonna lose my edge, it is because I know that most of You won´t even TRY to compete with me" damn that was so deeply true. that is scary and sad.
How is that scary
It's not sad or scary imo . It's the truth people like to get comfy so they dont try harder or push themselves enough. I'm guilty of that myself but I dont think it's scary since its something you choose. It's scary being delusional ,and realizing you are delusional it's a slap, as a maths teacher once said to me while we were chatting..
I'm horrible with coming up with names honestly. That's a flaw of mine.
I'd say keep thinking about it while you are doing stuff and talking to people. Often inspiration can come from something completely unrelated.
i actually got to watch this video 50 seconds after it was out...WOW
I appreciate streams more and more everyday. I recently started and I'm realizing the amount of work and the learning curve it takes to do it. Just for my basic scene set-up, I spent 15 hours researching the best way to do things. I'm constantly editing and making minor changes just to be a tiny bit better. It's crazy and it takes real effort.
"let go of your pride and figure out what it is" THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID MORE.
Harris always makes such grounding videos. I always appreciate hearing his perspective. If you’re a new content creator like me reading this good luck gamer. You got this.
Hey Harris, ive been posting on this channel for nearly five months. I've started off strong, using thumbnails, good editing softwares (adobe softwares), editing my videos really well, uploading every weekend and i'm only 13. In five months i've got 44 subs. Now they are just starting to dramatically slow down. (i also stream on twitch). I know that at 2:43 you said about THAT, but i think this is different. I'm not saying that you're doing this wrong, but could you help me understand what I'M doing wrong? Thanks
You are part of the reason why I started streaming and recording. THANK YOU!
Harris is like the only guy I'd be happy to share a non alcoholic beer with.
If you can make the candles smell like Mountain Dew and Doritos then I’m in.
I freaking knew someone would say this. NOOOOOOOOOOO ! lol
Zesty Archer yes brother! YES!
My father: "Those people that give advice on this stuff don't tell you everything because they want to keep the real secrets to themselves." Harris: 8:47
@@crookdletterj3651 I mean not really, lets take competitive game play as an example, i was on the #1 ranked team in TFC, and a pro level player in CS 1.6 back in the day. Ive coached a few teams in ESEA, bla bla...basically i know my shit, and im really good at games. Ive never held back in teaching people because....99.999% of them will never be able to touch me because they will NOT put in the work. Look at Jordan, best player ever...worked his ass off, said he did, talked about this same kind of thing. and on and on and on....SO many greats i could name that their #1 piece of advice is...work hard at it, and their #2 would most likely be to look at yourself first when a problem happens. Just those 2 pieces of advice have been given over and over and over by so many super successful people...yet those are the two hardest things for most to do, so they dismiss it and try and make up some other reason that person has success that they dont, like what you just did.
Harris, I gotta be honest with you, it's really my fault :(
Don’t you hate it when someone comes into your chat, you try to talk with them and stuff, then they just leave without saying anything.
Absolutely... like don't even come if you will just come in and leave without saying goodbye or gtg... say you are leaving, i will tell you to have a great day and i will see you next time or something :/
From what I understand they are called lurkers some people dont like to talk lol
@@jacquelinejay1421 i know what they are 😂 but like if you come 3 times, say somethingggg hahahaha
@@Jo2cooL ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh and another thing which I haven't figured out is ... when i log into my twitch from my PC I cannot chat but if i log in from my phone i can chat ... I don't know how to fix it :(
mark my words i’ll come back in a year and see how fate i’ve come
Idk if you post alot on twitch, but if not start the grind again. Make some content
You've got this bro
Don't worry guys we will all grow together for the bois
"Focus on improvement over growth." Needed to hear this, thanks. My channel is slow going, but every time I post it feels like the best one I've made so far, and that's a great feeling!
well i do make good content compared to other ppl who stream the stuff i do, like my stream has chill music, good quality, goof transitions and good looks, my thumbnails are the best (ish) and im just getting 3 viewers average, over 10 is like amazing, but when i compare my streams to others I have no idea why im getting low viewership, i mean there was a stream with 30 ppl watching an 12 yr old 480p stream with some ppl talking in the background loudly, i mean idk do i need to pay to someone or do collabs to advertise myself or idk?
I just passed 200 subs today. I think I’m struggling most with trying to sound natural in my videos. I don’t want to sound like I’m delivering a book report.
Your videos have helped me so much with my new twitch channel cuz I’ve always loved watching other streamers and always wished I could do things like that as well. And after watching you videos, it’s really helped me learn what to expect, what to improve on, and SO MUCH MORE so thank you for that!😊💜
its so funny that my friend has been streaming for 3 weeks, has been raided over 25 Times with humdreds of viewers and now has 1.8thousand follows xd
now she has 19k
"stop focusing on growth" is the best lesson! I used to get really stressed seeing other streamers grow fast around me, but that made my streams quality go down. Because my stream were stressed... Now I play what I want, how I want and have so much more fun. And slowly growing 🥳
@Senpai Gaming This may sound like an out of the blue comment. Why do you think that upcoming content creators are struggling with the things you mentioned in this video, as well as all of your other videos. I am a new subscriber and I'll admit that. But I keep questioning the fact that most content creators nowadays are posting more and more about their process, and what worked for them, but I have to say as someone who is looking into getting into the industry, I constantly struggle with the social anxiety, life pressures, as well as uncertainty when it comes to actually creating content. I've been back and forth on what I want to create, from streaming, RUclips videos, as well as podcasting. But I still cant seem to find the right push to actually fully commit to them. Typically when I come to hurdles in my life I just say F*** it and just do it. How is that any different than the struggles I currently face with starting my Content creation business? I honestly haven't seen a reply to any RUclips Comment from any creator across my subscriptions. I hope to see one form you! As always have a great one!!
Awesome video! Not sure if I should reflect and only focus on self improvement, or say, "Bring it, challenge accepted!" lol Thanks!
Harris is like a cheese cake its yummy and you always want more🔥
lmao
Hahahaha --- so true.
Mev Bushwacker yeah she want that yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy x
Imma be honest with you, might be dangerous here at RUclips land... But I am a content Creator and I love it however, I'm homeless atm and needed to step away from it. Now I'm working 13 hour graveyard shifts at a homeless shelter, and considering another full time job.
I'm doing that for two reasons, to get a place for me and my family #1 of course. However I'm also working so hard, so I can get back to doing what I love, streaming and making videos... The advice you give, really helps with perspective and motivation.
You're like a coach, always reminding me. "I can do it... but it won't be easy. Work hard, and improve."
Genuinely... Thank you.
Harris isn’t the Hero we deserve but the Hero we needed! I started content creation 6 months ago and you have helped more than you know. I have been focussing a lot of TikTok and got 42k followers in that time and recommend it to help you grow your content creation career!
Hi, my name is Alice.. I’m a thumbnail artist and I love making thumbnails, if I could be of any free thumbnails assistance to you I would be honored..!
I love how straight up he is like he isn’t spreading any BS he’s honest and it’s for sure helped me with streaming

Ay all I’m saying is u said go watch pokimane and figure out why she is popular so I’ll just go become a cute girl real quick
Went from 100 to 10k subs here on YT by putting in the work, in literally 2.5 weeks. It's not easy and I pulled several nights in a row of 4-5 hours of sleep to keep the content rollin.
when I watch your videos I feel like I'm listening to a preacher the way you speak is so powerful and smooth you've never lacked getting the point across. keep it up. thanks for all the help
Harris: "Are you willing to learn more than anybody else? Are you willing to do more than anybody else?"
Me: Yes thank you sm dad ❤
When he says that when we put in extra hours, work harder, do something new, for no reward...there is a reward, being proud of yourself for doing slighty better than before, I feel like that is what keeps you pushing even more.

Me, an obsessive self-blaming introvert: FINALLY I'M AHEAD OF THE GAME
Best tips I’ve heard, been focused on getting better with each video but have to look more within and get laser focused
Everyone has a chance if you work hard enough the little bit of luck will work out in the end
Iv figured out why the person I don't like watching are successful. And let's just say as a man I don't have those ASSets.
The Starting Of The Video "Hey" sounds like "Hey" Voice line of Yoru from Valorant.
Great Video!
I started streaming about 2 years ago and I average about 3 viewers and they’re all my friends 😂
Same! Then one of them starts streaming and there goes one of my viewers! Lol!
Yes same here and i hate that people from discord groups are unsupportive
its sad that people want a person with an american or british accent to stay entertained, also you need money for good equipment, i wish i was priveleged
I have no hands and game with a controller using my feet. Is that niche enough Harris? Twitch.tv/littlej
I agree, but trust me it takes a lot of time to get where you want to be, i am doing yt for 2+ years and i still make a lot of mistakes, so for anyone who starts a youtube channel just know that it might take a lot of time to get to the level you want, but its worth it if you have fun in the process
ok man, it's one thing to make a clickbait thumbnail, but it's another thing to also then open with a clickbait pre-intro segment lmao
You stream when I stream so unfortunately I can't hop on. But can you make a video on how to get people to click on your twitch. Cuz once someone clicks on my stream I easily get them to follow me
I tried all of these is there any other tips. I do different content, I try to see what people want, I watched people I don’t like to see on what I can improve on, I even say in my vids: comment below what u want to see and I get 0 comments that doesn’t help.
how many people got a tik tok ad?
