"This is why you can't be afraid anymore to show who you are." - This is the one thing I needed to hear during these times, but I couldn't put into words myself. Thank you so much!
This is my go to stream tips/theory channel. I love talking about stream theory and experimenting with my stream. I always value how deeply you dive into topics which really open my mind to other perspectives. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!
After watching a few of your videos I realized some significant things you speak about that I may have done or seen through other streams. You have provided me with validation on what I'm doing as a small starting out affiliate streamer. I'm glad you were a recommendation and will continue to support you and these series of videos. Take care friend.
You have definitely taken my Marketing Undergrad degree and all the tools I have learned and how to apply them with Twitch. I appreciate all you do to hone in on topics that I talk about a lot to my community when they start streaming and I refer them to you. Growth is possible and I am proof of that. I also believe community with others is important! We have a community of friends/streamers on twitch that support others and it is helping to market us with what we offer to our community and the game we play and teach them something. Thanks Ash!
Talking about getting in tune with your mental state and self-awareness right in these videos is so, so helpful to me. I've got a great community around my stream, but they were really built around the game I used to play. This video really reaches out to me to encourage me to start sharing more about me so people can connect to me as opposed to connecting to what I'm doing.
@@ashnichrist ah~ thank you! I actually just picked up another bottle of Arctic Fox coincidentally, got purple rain this time! You've got some amazing hair too, always have!
I would love to see a video on freemium content, or free versus paid. I am having teething problems switching to occasional sub only streams from 100% free content. I’ve streamed for free for 3 years (and 10 years on RUclips) and still it’s not enough? I think the transition from free to paid is tough. Also, I believe putting out free stuff doesn’t guarantee you reciprocity ($). 99% of people will take what they can for as long as they can so I think enforcing paywalls can be important.
As a Leadership Instructor in the Armed Forces, I totally agree with the empowerment of the audience. This is what we call transformationnal Leadership. BTW love your videos, I just got to get my gears moving.
Omg. (First, sorry for commenting on so many of your videos in quick succession!) You answered a question that I've been asking and trying to figure out. Which is "how can I express the gratitude and appreciation I feel towards the chat without just saying "thank you, thank you, i appreciate you, thank you" ad nauseum?" Like I want to pinch myself for saying it so much. Thank you! SO much! For your help!
Ashni I've been watching you for a long time. I appreciate the time you've spent to work on helping all of us little people. I want to get better at streaming and kinda have an idea of who I am but I know I've still got work to do lol. Thanks for keeping me motivated. Been on twitch for 4 years and still learning. Keep it up lady.
Ashni, you mentally told my mind to shut its mouth, you truly don't know how much I needed this video. On multiple levels, from multiple key points. This video was just what we needed.
This is next level content, Ashni - and probably the best piece I've seen on the subject inside this space. There are so many videos about the mechanics, and very little about the psychological reasons "why" things work and don't work. Streaming isn't about streaming at all, it's about influence. You understand that, and your ability to relate that to others is fantastic.
This was really helpful! I'm looking forward to practicing these components of influence in my next stream! I always forget that I can ignore comments in the chat if they aren't relevant to the flow of the conversation. Also, I found the visualization very helpful!
This is so great! I do hair, so I can't tell you how many Instagram/social media influence classes I've sat in - you delivered such good info in such a succinct way, and I really appreciate that.
Gary Vee is an awesome resource for everyone needing an extra boost of motivation. I just recently started listening to his stuff recently. Love the your video, looking forward to seeing more.
Very helpful can't wait to get your eBook! I was subconsciously influencing my chat without noticing it. I am gonna limit my stream days even though I really like streaming 5 days! But I am gonna dial it down a notch.
Mate I’ve watched so many videos since becoming an affiliate to try and get better and this is the sort of stuff I needed not horror story’s about saturation 🤣🤣 I don’t even care about saturation, I care about the people I already have, thank you for this 🙏🙏🙏 now I’m gunna binge watch the rest of your videos 🙌🙌🙌
Ill tell you 1 thing that matters. That one person who chatted to you in chat and followed you and keeping connected with that 1 person long term. Do that and replicate it and you will grow a strong community 1 person at a time. And you can have only 300 followers and all of them could potentially sub and donate as much as someone to has 10,000 followers. Give value and a relationship and you cannot lose.
Recently had a few trolls come in and say some horrible things in chat. However, I’m an advocate for mental health and I try to come at a trolls comment with compassion and give them a second chance and if they decide to continue then I delete and ban. Seems to work for me because some stay and some leave. Thanks for the video💙
Me: *doing nothing because I can't decide which of the hundred things to focus on* Ashni: "Choose just one of these things and focus on it..." Me: But ....I need them all Ashni: "...if emotional blockages are preventing you..." Me: 😭💜
@@ashnichrist No worries! It's a bit dated and didn't have a great sample size, but a lot of what you talk about was mentioned! Keep up the amazing content 👊
If you ever read this thank you for the videos. I appreciate the hard work you put in. So i'm a smaller streamer on mixer with 226 followers and I'm trying to grow mixer channel. Honestly I don't want to grow my channel to level of Shroud or even Ninja. I just want to get partnered so i can give back on a massive scale. I love when people come to my streams and enjoy themselves. lately I've watched every stream tip video of wild 4 games, alpha gaming, and yours. which made me thinking should i move back over to twitch because my growth on mixer isn't getting any better. I already have my profile setup on twitch it's just a matter of just streaming to platform more often. i don't want to leave mixer because i love the community and the people but i want more for myself and i want to entertain more people then i am right now
@@ashnichrist i litterly think that the big streamers helping small streamers to grow are way better than the ones that dont care and the just go like thats none of my business cause the handle twitch like its only made for them you know what i mean ?
OMG, now i see it in Streamers i look up too, And on an up note of one of the viewers that gets talked as an influencer, others want to get to know you too.
Ashnichrist I am gonna buy ur book. I think what ur doing is amazing. Got my book & pen Taking notes and drinking Tea. Ashnichrist do you do master classes?
I stream games where people can decide with me, people don't like someone who feels the best, Ive started 16 days ago have 25 followers right know and allready received a donation, gotta be interactive with your chat and let them feel special that's my opinion good vid btw
Personally, my community I want to form is like one that formed in a bar, where most people are welcome but we have our regulars who come in alot. I'm realizing I'm doing a weekly themed thing going on. Like every week I choose what to play, maybe I should add something at the end of a stream where I mention to follow me on Twitter so they don't miss out on the next schedule and what I will be streaming the next week. So pretty much I should give more weight to the regulars and those who interact with me on Twitter
If you wanna become successful in streaming you gotta be a people person. That's what i'm getting out of this lol. It's gonna be hard but i'm gonna try.
Thank you, AshinChrist for the video. I've been streaming a couple hours a day (literally 2), 4 days a week. I just upped it to 6 days a week (12 hours total) was that a bad move?
I just hit 11k subs :D thanks for your tips they really do help. What I try and do is provide very good value to the subs and give them the 👑 (until I want it xdxd)
I think this is why twitch still has such a large market share of the streaming world. RUclips and even Facebook Gaming are much better positioned to place viewers with streamers who would fill their interests, but the community component of twitch is just much more enjoyable. Chat interaction is just much more fun on twitch, in my opinion.
I just started streaming today even though I get 0 views I'm already feeling the pressure had alot of things on my mind I need to keep my sanity in check if I'm doing this
Darn it... now I am going to have to dust off my other channel that I used for streaming and not just work on my current channel that I'm building for practice... Thanks a lot.... your stupid advice was so good you motivated me to get back into streaming. RUDE.
So I have to be smarter than smarties, and tougher than toughies... Good think I've read Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck so I know how to go about it! :v x)
Hello Ashni, this video is very helpful as well as the other ones of your, so thank you for them. You tell here very important things. However I must ask you, because thats bothers me a lot. Your voicetone sometimes "put" an exclamation mark on the end of your sentences, like if you are not so sure about something you say, despite the fact that it is propably true. Why?
Hey ashni I found a great way to kick start your twitch channel and gain more Concurrents. I find it funny because I've seen a lot of people solely relying on this lol. Grow an Instagram channel engage with your comments and others, tell your them to follow your twitch and go live. My friend who has 2k followers on insta as a "cosplayer" and doesn't post much and only has an Instagram avgs 20-30 Concurrents and a very active chat. Thought I tell you this since it's interesting to me. Let me know your thoughts on it if you see this.
Nobody cares about my stream. No one shows up and all I do is talk to myself. I pretty much give up on everything because I am a complete failure at life
Man I feel you personally I used to be that person and sometimes I still am but I just want you to know this doesnt define you as a person I understand this hurts when you dont get the acknowledgement you deserve but in life respect isnt given its earned you earned my respect because you know you deserve it and have been working for it dont give up im sure you will get better there is actually a bunch of discords meant for streamer and you can post your link and play with similar people and interests Im sure if you google "streamer community discords" you will have a much more enjoyable time streaming Ive had much more success with this method i hope you can get more viewers and maybe you can grow a bigger community soon :)
If all you're doing is streaming on twitch it's going to be extremely hard for you to get discovered. Use other platforms like youtube and twitter to drive people to your twitch.
Your videos are sooo long. I feel like they could have more structure and maybe some time codes but it just seems like 20 minutes of…. I like some of your videos I just want the info lol
"This is why you can't be afraid anymore to show who you are." - This is the one thing I needed to hear during these times, but I couldn't put into words myself. Thank you so much!
This is really helpful in general, for social media in general (I don't stream). I struggle with how MUCH to share, as I have some wingnut takes.
Also- when are you starting your art channel 😅
I’m so happy you’re making more vids, keep slaying queen 👑

gotta go cry bbl
This is my go to stream tips/theory channel. I love talking about stream theory and experimenting with my stream. I always value how deeply you dive into topics which really open my mind to other perspectives.

Wow this means the world to me. Thank you
I think these topics on the social aspects of streaming are where you're really bringing a lot of value! Much appreciated!
I think so too! It feels like I've found my own lane and I love it :)

To be an influential streamer, amplify relevant chat/viewer inputs
Mind = Blown
EXACTLY!! awesome job understanding that!!

Thank you for this video! I have to admit i find it so hard to keep viewers interested and to make them stay 🥺❤️
it takes time!! you'll get there :)
these are really good tips i have never heard anyone talk about!! ty for making this 👏🏼
Love the affiliate link plug at the end! 😉 You’re the best and I hope you continue to grow!

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at the time.
It's so easy to get overwhelmed and choose none of them!!
