@@EleeBot I mean. He's earning from youtube. Qw watch youtube for free with mostly skippable ads.I don't think he's completely wrong... But He ain't charging us directly. Its indirect. We use ou internet facility provided by our ISP to whome we pay to watch the video and "ADS" using our data, Therefore our money that we use to buy data is used to ad youtube/google sponsors. so we're paying Google a much larger amount than what we're paying the youtuber. Well if u really wanna watch it for free.. I suppose mcdonalds has free phone chargers and Free Wifi as well.. just buy an ice tea and sit there for a whole day using free wifi for videos😆
Every time I hear a brand rep say "We LOVE small creators & growing with them." I just hear, "We LOVE people without an agency looking out for them. They don't even know what's going on & we can keep them in the dark as they grow." That's why what you do is so important for new creators in this world.
Just throwing this out there : I'm sitting at work with some free time between tasks and have found myself watching your videos back to back. I'm a small streamer. I recently made affiliate by reaching out and inviting people to come watch, never asked for a follow or anything, just giving off the "Hey why don't you drop in and say hello in chat or something sometime?" vibe. It worked out. I went from zero views to a consistent 10-20 full time viewers over the coarse of 2 weeks with active engagements and conversations the entire time. That being said, I'm watching your videos here and writing things down like a recipe. Things I do, don't do, should do better, etc. Of course I want to make it a career; I've worked to the age of 30 as I am now never happy with where I am. I love gaming. I love people. Streaming just goes hand in hand with that. If it turns into something big and I can make a living off of it, so be it, but for now it's something I want to take off but I'm just going to have fun while trying. So this isn't a "Hey! Can you answer a few questions for me?" so much as it's a...Hey, thanks for the helpful advice. It's clear, to the point, honest, and pretty valuable for small streamers like myself to build a goal to work towards.
Oh don't worry my friend I took notes! 1. What is the best way a creator can spark up a conversation with a brand? Start with your pitch! 30 seconds of who you are, what you do, the focus of your channel, what you want from the brand. 2. As a Brand Rep what is your biggest pet peeve from creators? Don't go into a conversation with no plan on how to collaborate with the brand. Research the brand! How will the brand fit into what you're currently producing. Have a creative plan, where do you want your channel to go and how can the brand help you. 3. Do you ever work with small streamers? Yes, they're excited about being able to grow with the streamer. Talent > numbers. Building the relationship organically during the streamer's growth period is important! 4. What's one small piece of advice that you would give to someone prepping to come to an event and network? Have the 30 second pitch down for your channel that makes you valuable and unique. What separates you? Do brand research!!! Value proposition to how our brands can integrate.
Yo Harris, I’ve been watching your videos and thought of a pretty dope idea for you. You should have a series where you renovate people’s streams, kind of like the house renovation shows but with streams if that makes any sense. I feel like it would be super interesting to watch!
We all have to start somewhere as a small content creator. When I first started I had only 1 view. Just be Consistent that is key!!! Keep it up. God bless 🙏🏼
This was one of my favorite videos of yours, Harris! I appreciate how we can hear this advice straight from the brand and partnerships managers themselves in this video. One of the biggest issues I find myself facing is how to make that initial push to start up a conversation. It's one thing to proudly showcase my Partner status, and it's a whole other thing to understand and showcase what is so different and unique about my brand. I'm definitely going to take some time to reflect on my brand and cultivate my 30-second pitch so that I can approach future interactions with more confidence. Thank you so much for making this video, I definitely learned a lot!
The one question I have: Say you aren't in a position to go to big conventions or events. And so you try to approach these brands via email or social media. You have your pitch and you got everything they said about knowing what you have to offer. But you don't have the connections to reach out to the right people. What do you do? Just send them a tweet? PM them on Instagram? A lot of companies don't have emails readily accessible to the public. So how do you contact these companies the same way you would in person?
Your honesty is refreshing, your knowledge is vast, and your insight is immensely helpful. I'm incredibly happy that you showed up in my recommended videos, because I wouldn't have even known where to start with even hardware. Your name should be more well known, and I hope the RUclips algorithm gods bless you with another viral video. You really deserve it, man.
Honestly what sponsor I believe would be amazing to work woth would be Logitech. Im in love with their workability with mouse's and webcams, and are always a good dollars spent to ease of use ratio. I use mostly logitech peripherals, so being able to be sponsored by them would help me more positively reflect that, and it would help produce higher quality content as i want to expand from Twitch to RUclips with more up close and personal footage
@@AyasLoft personally I prefer corsair's keyboards because they just _feel_ nicer to me. I love my Razer deathadder and Logitech g502 equally. I prefer Sennheiser over Logitech, Razer, Corsair etc just because their sound sounds nicer
@@Shuroii I've personally enjoyed Logitech as a brand because their customer service relations, in my experience, have been one of the best in the market. I have even used that in my sales position to create a value proposition to the consumer in the past when retailing electronics.
Hey, I've seen your videos pop up on my home feed every now and again, and whilst in a boring meeting i decided to give this one a watch. I've never watched one of your videos, i don't have a twitch and i'm not looking to get sponsored, but wanted to watch YOU and see what you do. I know that its nice to hear feedback from people whether its good or bad, because that's how we grow. There's no bad feedback from me here though. You were very clear, there's no crazy editing to keep peoples attention and you told people what to expect when going in to the video. A format that i'm trying to do also. Even though i'm not looking to get sponsored by anyone yet, i still took notes and found to be asking myself "If i can sell myself to people i don't know 1 on 1 at an event, then maybe i can sell myself and what i do to every single viewer that watches my content". So that's what i took from this video, working out why i'm unique from other people in my niche, why the audience should subscribe to me, and what they're going to get if they do. Needless to say, you've earned a subscriber here.
I've been following you for quite some time and I watch all of your videos. All I do is stream as a hobby (never looking to get big) and my viewer base continues to grow when I follow small advice from you that works for me. I tuned into your stream the other day and had such a fun experience with you, you're brilliant, helpful, and just a good dude. You're easy to support and someone who I WANT to see do well. Thank you for taking all the time you commit not just to help yourself grow but go out of your way to help those around you, it's what this world needs. That's what i appreciates about you
I have watched hundreds of videos about the topics of streaming building a twitch building RUclips what equipment is needed tips and tricks marketing and building your brand and I must say you are the most genuine person I've come across. you're not here to sell a dream and collect the check you are here to help people because you genuinely care THANK YOU!!!
Holy Moses Harris!!! This was so thoughtful of you! Really well thought questions. Such a huge boost to the confidence to approach a brand with those concepts in mind! Mindblowing idea to bring this to your audience. That’s why your audience is so captivated by you. YOU GENUINELY CARE!!! Deeply thx for that. Happy streaming!
H4D4 looking at this persons page the thumbnails pop. They’re is a lot of eye catching details in it that will make someone click the video out of one with basic thumbnails. Red arrows always work lol. This is obv just an opinion from my observation though I didn’t watch any of the videos but I’m sure within the first 10 seconds they catch your attention as well whether it be informative sense or entertainment
Man I really love your channel! The quality of your videos is absolutly insane, simply because of the great picture quality. And fat PLUS: Your content is full of usefull information. I am really happy, I found this channel. Thanks, Harris!
Not sure why I'm only just seeing this but great video as always. I find this sort of thing quite difficult mostly because I'm quite anti-social or should I say more of an introvert. Also not a great talker and find it REALLY difficult just going up to someone and introducing myself. Really hoping I can get over that in the coming months and years. During my time as a Mixer partner I saw a lot of people thinking they would get extra merch and 'free stuff' by wearing a partner hoodie or t-shirt and I've never really thought that company reps saw that as a must to working with them. With my journey on Twitch only just starting there's a long way to go before I'm likely to be in a position to talk to companies but I have a game plan and know what I need to do. Thanks again.
can say this works, went to pax aus as a medium mixer streamer, didn't think i would get any sponsorships/partnerships and ended up walking out with corsair and ubisoft (thanks to contacts in the r6 community) the advice handed here is so obvious but it is usually the obvious ideas that no one thinks of. one thing i could add onto is be confident, companies want to see people who are energetic, easy going but also confident. if you can go up to them and state what you are there for without stuttering or mumbling thats a good start!
Great video man. My stream has started to become something I'm proud of because of some of the tips you've given out. One question I have is, what is a good balance between a job, family, and twitch streaming if I'm wanting to grow as a streamer? What is a healthy balance?
Stream for 2-4 hours after work and then on the weekends dedicate that time to family. When you start expanding enough and you can start paying for everything you need from twitch, then in my opinion stay at your job for 2 weeks but save most if not all of that job money then quit your job, and start streaming for maybe 4-8 hours a day. But keep those weekends dedicated to your family, or you can stream weekends and dedicate other days to family.
Thanks to the advice you put on this video i was able to partner with a local venue to host, broadcast, and commentate for events and tournaments they are having. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all your help.
I currently barely have any viewers (if any at all) and only have a handful of followers/subscribers, I find it hard to get time to work on my YT and Twitch channels since I have a full time job and 3 kids lol, but I always come away from your videos feeling positive about using my spare time to create the little amount of content I do atm, because I feel that every bit of advice and information you give is extremely helpful and positive! I'm thankful you did this over just going to enjoy the event and push your own work. To answer your pinned comment, I'd currently say Go-pro since I have a very cool idea that I want to do with my stream. Not sure if anyone's done it yet, but I don't want to put it out there yet, I want to be the first to do it lol.
Thank you for the advice. I’ve heeded everything that was said. I don’t stream or post content daily because of work takes most of my time. As I make content or stream I want to make someones day and have a place where people can come to hangout, have fun, and just be themselves. The world today is too judgmental and a lot of stuff is happening and people should have a place where they can escape that. I welcome everyone who comes by to watch me stream or watch content I’ve made. Again, thank you for the advice bro.
Harris great job on this video i've always wondered about these exact questions. To find out that they want to work with smaller streamers like Norzewolf and others is encouraging. I have a twitch channel that is mostly focused on FPS games and talking about the good and bad of games of the genre. Awesome content.
I assumed while watching your video that it would have millions of views as it's a question I am sure most channels are looking for. Thank you for sharing with us. (yes I know it's a year old but it's still valuable and current) stay safe and kind regards. John 😊
Thank you Stream Doctor! Going into the streaming/content creating industry can be intimidating especially when you have no background in approaching businesses and explaining your brand. This is so helpful and informative! Love to hear the other side's perspective and what these companies are really looking for. Now is just a matter of how to reach out to them during a pandemic when there are no conventions!
Sounds like a standard interview for any job, to get ahead of anyone research the job you going for, tell them abit about yourself and what hobby's you got, why you want to work for them. Also what benefits can you bring to the job. Very very standard, understandable it's the same for social media side of things
NGL, I was wary of your channel when I first found it but you've proven to me that you really do know what you're doing. Good channel, good video. Thanks for the tips buddy. If I get bigger I'll make sure to shout you out.
I love your channel! I'm a freelancer and just tapping into the streaming scene recently. My freelance business is covering my expense + investment and savings already so streaming my game is mostly for enjoyment. Your channel gives me insight how to take it from fun to full on business model while having fun. Thank you!
Man I love your channel, been following it a lot lately, I love the quality, I love the scripting and I love the progression which has helped me so much. Your channel is really underrated and deserves more subs. Will ensure to promote you on all my social media
Such a great video! While I’m not a gamer, all your advice still applies to my industry and much of it has been my experience. I’m a very small channel “small creator”, yet I’ve done several brand deals and have a few ongoing sponsorships. Everything you said is spot on.
I think the one thing that wasn't covered in this video was, how can a smaller streamer or creator approach these companies. Who do you look out for etc. Apart from that video was excellent!
Excellent point. That was exactly what I was wondering too! It would be awesome if we could have a follow up video to that explaining the how's of this. And also, when he said "it doesn't matter if you are small", how small do we talk about here? 10 viewers? 30? 100? That's important stuff to know I think
You're by far my favorite RUclipsr//Content Creator man. Just have to point out that 6 people (ATM) were wearing Twitch Partner t-shirt. Keep doing your thing.
I can't stop looking at the coffee stain on your shirt.....(I got one of my own currently :D), besides that....great info that is very very much appreciated. This is coming from someone who just decided to jump into making gaming content (for realsies) a month ago. Thx Pal!
Yeah I mean come to think of it, that's how I got into a lot of stuff in music. I remember I was at a show and the guy said he played this festival. All I did was ask him how he got hooked up with it. He gave me somebody's email. And then I was on. He said there was a couple openings left. Pretty wild. You just simply can't replace being there in person talking to someone. I've only been doing this for a year now, and I really want something like E3 again to get me excited and motivated again.
If I could get any brand to sponsor me I would have to say that it would either be Razor or Corsair. I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m glad I found you. You’ve been a big help to me because I’m barely starting out! I’m very much a noob at the game xD I’ve uploaded my first edited video to RUclips I’m excited to get going!
This is legit helpful man! Thank you so muuuch!!! Especially here in my country, large (and also small) brands don't do that much sponsorship for content creators.
Such valuable information. It will help a lot of creators and me. Thanks for great stuff and keep going. Found your channel month ago and enjoying to watch it.
Just started looking into how to start streaming and found this video very useful as well. Definitely going to check out your other stuff! Keep up the great content! 👍🏼
This is huge for a small streamer like me! I'm a facebook video game streamer and youtube content creator. Even though most of your tips are in regards to Twitch (& sometimes youtube), I feel like 60-75% of what you have to say also applies to me where I'm at. Thank you again for being awesome and giving out the content!
Man it’s so crazy how everything that you talked about ive had it all in my head. Ive always wanted to be heard and be worth. Thanks for the advise will definitely make sure I’m ready to give my best pitch 💯
You'r video are sooooo useful. Thanks for all the insight. Learning lots and looking forward to practicing more streaming, more for fun, but knowing the marketing pointers are a definite bonus. 🙌
Right on. I believe I have established a huge European car show since 2002. I had to organically talk to potential sponsors from day one. I feel like I used a lot of the tips you mentioned. And I think you solidified ideas I need to work on go to forward. Thank you 💙
Amazing insights. Thank you so much for doing this. It's mind boggling to see just how many people approach these companies just looking for free stuff and not realizing what they should be doing. Networking, if dobe correctly is something truly amazing. When a creator and a brand mesh great things can happen.
It would be interesting to see an updated video for 2020 since these live events are cancelled for the most part. How would someone get sponsors during a pandemic?
I just started and only have 2 subs but I’m still watching this because I love your content man, your voice, your passion, everything makes your content so relatable and enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing this we all appreciate it one of my goals for the long term moving forward is to collaborate with sneak energy I'm slowly updating the channel on the daily and I know what I'm looking to do but the information you provided us should motivate everyone!
yet again a great video to kick me in the butt :D I have really fluctuating numbers, when I play games I have around 5 viewers, when I do cooking or just chatting around 20. (guess I know where my content should go^^) one of my mods told me to ask for sponsoring, but I feel like I dont have enough to offer the brands as a small streamer. but seeing these interviews I might try though! thats one of my biggest regrets, not to have networked on twitchcon but I was so overwhelmed with everything lol
I absolutely love your content. I’ve been absorbing your knowledge for the past 4 days straight. These videos have helped me find why I’m going into this. Thank you so much for your videos.
you should make a video that explains and shows how you organize game play clips, remembering what time on the recording what happened, etc im sure a lot of people like me would appreciate that to.
How do you discover your unique value? What can a streamer do to be unique but provide value at the same time? They might be "easy" questions to ask yourself, but sometimes easy is very hard.
Loved the video and information it provides with a new perspective for me to go on while building an online stream. I object to the last thought because if it took someone to wear a snowsuit to go through the motions at least they have experienced it as bad as it could be. Stream on!

But keep those weekends dedicated to your family, or you can stream weekends and dedicate other days to family.
I gain more and more confidence after watching every video! Thanks a lot man, keep it up.
Thanks to the advice you put on this video i was able to partner with a local venue to host, broadcast, and commentate for events and tournaments they are having. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all your help.
You've been super helpful with ideas and concerns I've had about trying to professionally sidegig streaming, thanks Doc
really solid video man. thanks for the hard work and effort you put into asking the questions for us.
Thanks for going out and doing this. It’s so insightful hearing this
I currently barely have any viewers (if any at all) and only have a handful of followers/subscribers, I find it hard to get time to work on my YT and Twitch channels since I have a full time job and 3 kids lol, but I always come away from your videos feeling positive about using my spare time to create the little amount of content I do atm, because I feel that every bit of advice and information you give is extremely helpful and positive! I'm thankful you did this over just going to enjoy the event and push your own work. To answer your pinned comment, I'd currently say Go-pro since I have a very cool idea that I want to do with my stream. Not sure if anyone's done it yet, but I don't want to put it out there yet, I want to be the first to do it lol.
Love your content very inspiring and straightforward
Hope to see u stream more I guess i only watch replays lol
Thank you for the advice. I’ve heeded everything that was said. I don’t stream or post content daily because of work takes most of my time. As I make content or stream I want to make someones day and have a place where people can come to hangout, have fun, and just be themselves. The world today is too judgmental and a lot of stuff is happening and people should have a place where they can escape that. I welcome everyone who comes by to watch me stream or watch content I’ve made. Again, thank you for the advice bro.
Yet another very helpful video. We always learn something new to help better our young channel. Keep them coming!
Harris great job on this video i've always wondered about these exact questions. To find out that they want to work with smaller streamers like Norzewolf and others is encouraging. I have a twitch channel that is mostly focused on FPS games and talking about the good and bad of games of the genre. Awesome content.
I assumed while watching your video that it would have millions of views as it's a question I am sure most channels are looking for. Thank you for sharing with us. (yes I know it's a year old but it's still valuable and current) stay safe and kind regards. John 😊
LOVING this stuff man. Thank you so much for the advice. Just subscribed and looking forward to knowledge to come
Thank you Stream Doctor! Going into the streaming/content creating industry can be intimidating especially when you have no background in approaching businesses and explaining your brand. This is so helpful and informative! Love to hear the other side's perspective and what these companies are really looking for. Now is just a matter of how to reach out to them during a pandemic when there are no conventions!
Sounds like a standard interview for any job, to get ahead of anyone research the job you going for, tell them abit about yourself and what hobby's you got, why you want to work for them. Also what benefits can you bring to the job. Very very standard, understandable it's the same for social media side of things
NGL, I was wary of your channel when I first found it but you've proven to me that you really do know what you're doing. Good channel, good video. Thanks for the tips buddy. If I get bigger I'll make sure to shout you out.
Thanks Harris. This was SUPER helpful! Now it’s up to us to put the knowledge to good use.
I love your channel! I'm a freelancer and just tapping into the streaming scene recently. My freelance business is covering my expense + investment and savings already so streaming my game is mostly for enjoyment. Your channel gives me insight how to take it from fun to full on business model while having fun. Thank you!
300 000 subs conggratulations!
I really love all you're content ♥ I learned a lot from you, I hope I can really apply it to my career.
Man I love your channel, been following it a lot lately, I love the quality, I love the scripting and I love the progression which has helped me so much. Your channel is really underrated and deserves more subs. Will ensure to promote you on all my social media
Such a great video! While I’m not a gamer, all your advice still applies to my industry and much of it has been my experience. I’m a very small channel “small creator”, yet I’ve done several brand deals and have a few ongoing sponsorships. Everything you said is spot on.
I think the one thing that wasn't covered in this video was,
how can a smaller streamer or creator approach these companies. Who do you look out for etc.
Apart from that video was excellent!
Excellent point. That was exactly what I was wondering too! It would be awesome if we could have a follow up video to that explaining the how's of this. And also, when he said "it doesn't matter if you are small", how small do we talk about here? 10 viewers? 30? 100? That's important stuff to know I think
You're by far my favorite RUclipsr//Content Creator man. Just have to point out that 6 people (ATM) were wearing Twitch Partner t-shirt. Keep doing your thing.
I can't stop looking at the coffee stain on your shirt.....(I got one of my own currently :D), besides that....great info that is very very much appreciated. This is coming from someone who just decided to jump into making gaming content (for realsies) a month ago. Thx Pal!
Another fantastic video, man you deserve far more of a following. Thanks again for more insight and keep it up!
I literally keep this on 24/7 thank you man forgive me such great dimes see you in tier 3
Yeah I mean come to think of it, that's how I got into a lot of stuff in music. I remember I was at a show and the guy said he played this festival. All I did was ask him how he got hooked up with it. He gave me somebody's email. And then I was on. He said there was a couple openings left. Pretty wild. You just simply can't replace being there in person talking to someone. I've only been doing this for a year now, and I really want something like E3 again to get me excited and motivated again.
WOW !! An amazing video ! You're speaking my mind !
I'm glad to following you since few months and spreading that kind of mindset :D
If I could get any brand to sponsor me I would have to say that it would either be Razor or Corsair. I’m really enjoying your videos! I’m glad I found you. You’ve been a big help to me because I’m barely starting out! I’m very much a noob at the game xD I’ve uploaded my first edited video to RUclips I’m excited to get going!
This video really exemplified how little I understand of why I do what I do on Twitch, I'm gonna have to do some thinking on that, thanks bro.
Great content! Thanks for a) ask these questions and b) share with the community!
My man love your vids super helpful providing insight to all this stuff!
I've been watching your videos for at least a month now and they are amazing. Great information. I love the videos. Keep em coming.
This is legit helpful man! Thank you so muuuch!!! Especially here in my country, large (and also small) brands don't do that much sponsorship for content creators.
Such valuable information. It will help a lot of creators and me. Thanks for great stuff and keep going. Found your channel month ago and enjoying to watch it.
Just started looking into how to start streaming and found this video very useful as well. Definitely going to check out your other stuff! Keep up the great content! 👍🏼
This is huge for a small streamer like me! I'm a facebook video game streamer and youtube content creator. Even though most of your tips are in regards to Twitch (& sometimes youtube), I feel like 60-75% of what you have to say also applies to me where I'm at. Thank you again for being awesome and giving out the content!
Man it’s so crazy how everything that you talked about ive had it all in my head. Ive always wanted to be heard and be worth. Thanks for the advise will definitely make sure I’m ready to give my best pitch 💯
THIS. RIGHT. HERE. Is why I respect you so fucking much. This right here is next level shit. This type of business acumen is so essential to success!
You'r video are sooooo useful. Thanks for all the insight. Learning lots and looking forward to practicing more streaming, more for fun, but knowing the marketing pointers are a definite bonus. 🙌
Some people ( like him) is just nice and want to help others like us.. Small streamers and small RUclips gaming creators. Keep it up
Right on. I believe I have established a huge European car show since 2002. I had to organically talk to potential sponsors from day one. I feel like I used a lot of the tips you mentioned. And I think you solidified ideas I need to work on go to forward. Thank you 💙
Amazing insights. Thank you so much for doing this. It's mind boggling to see just how many people approach these companies just looking for free stuff and not realizing what they should be doing. Networking, if dobe correctly is something truly amazing. When a creator and a brand mesh great things can happen.
Thanks for this video! That's so good.
I think this precise information would also make a really good "About" section.
Bro. You have answered some of my most burning questions as a streamer. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication.
I feel utterly validated i my networking strategies! Now...to get on the content creation... So i have something to actually brand and sell
dude, the value in this video is insane - thank you!
Your advice is really good and it also applies into regular type of people just looking for jobs.
My Stream Doctor is basically my god
My Stream God. There's your new title.
ALL HAIL STREAM SENPAI
@@nathantrieu4957 yes!
Thanks for the video! I really appreciate your work!
i love your videos becasue they are so simple and direct. I also notice you know what you are talking about and that's why im a subscriber.
Really helpful insights and ideas.. but what about the person who can't go to events like that or they live outside of the USA.
That's good stuff man.been digging your channel for a few months now n its all good info. So thanks man
It would be interesting to see an updated video for 2020 since these live events are cancelled for the most part. How would someone get sponsors during a pandemic?
I just started and only have 2 subs but I’m still watching this because I love your content man, your voice, your passion, everything makes your content so relatable and enjoyable.
Just wanted to say thank you for the advice! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this we all appreciate it one of my goals for the long term moving forward is to collaborate with sneak energy I'm slowly updating the channel on the daily and I know what I'm looking to do but the information you provided us should motivate everyone!
I really enjoyed this video and found it interesting and actually helped me in general conversation’s great vid keep it up
I've seen many of your videos and every time, you just always impress me. You're advice and content is godly. THANK YOU
You are the only low subbed channel on my subscription that I love watching for reasons I don't even know. You deserve million subs.
Great Questions! Thx Harris
Thank you for taking your time out of your event for getting us this information
Its crazy how this boosts my motivation
Same
I've been watching video after video from you over the past few days and have learned SO MUCH!! You are truly an inspiring guy! Thank you!
this video was incredible. thank you so much bro.
yet again a great video to kick me in the butt :D I have really fluctuating numbers, when I play games I have around 5 viewers, when I do cooking or just chatting around 20. (guess I know where my content should go^^) one of my mods told me to ask for sponsoring, but I feel like I dont have enough to offer the brands as a small streamer. but seeing these interviews I might try though! thats one of my biggest regrets, not to have networked on twitchcon but I was so overwhelmed with everything lol
I absolutely love your content. I’ve been absorbing your knowledge for the past 4 days straight. These videos have helped me find why I’m going into this. Thank you so much for your videos.
Your channel is really helping me grow my own channel as well as manage my CodeSix community appreciate you man
You're such an insperastion man. Love the content, keep it coming!
been watching you for awhile..... subbed today.... trying to build my game streaming career on youtube gaming....... thanks for your input.
you should make a video that explains and shows how you organize game play clips, remembering what time on the recording what happened, etc im sure a lot of people like me would appreciate that to.
How do you discover your unique value? What can a streamer do to be unique but provide value at the same time? They might be "easy" questions to ask yourself, but sometimes easy is very hard.
Loved the video and information it provides with a new perspective for me to go on while building an online stream. I object to the last thought because if it took someone to wear a snowsuit to go through the motions at least they have experienced it as bad as it could be. Stream on!
This is good advice regardless of the business topic you are networking around.
Great video! Very insightful. Thanks for the tips. 😊
I have been watching, and my moods for live streaming has gotten 10x better.
