    This is a bit of a different video but I hope it helps you while you're starting out! A few people asked for advice on branding, and some streamers I know mentioned when they changed their usernames they noticed they got more growth! So I wanted to cover this to hopefully provide some help!

    I think another thing to think about with usernames is accessibility - including leetspeak and number substitutions makes your name much more difficult to recognise for less internet-savvy users, non-native speakers of your language, and anyone using text-to-speech!

  • @JaySkottTV
    @JaySkottTV 4 года назад +58

    Been using JaySkott for a while & I like to think it worked with your video. Short, sweet, & easy to just go by Jay.
    Another tip I would add is making sure the first 6 characters of your name are unique if you can. When you get affiliate your emote prefix on Twitch will always be the first 6 characters of your username unless it’s taken, in which case it will follow the prefix with a number. Being “GamingGodKiller” might be cool until you realize your emote premix is now ‘gaming529’ I got extremely lucky that ‘jaysko’ wasn’t taken.
    Your videos are always super helpful! Thank you!

    I honestly don’t remember when or how I got the name I use right now (BongoToucan) but it seems to fill out most of the criteria in this video and I’m almost entirely sure that I’m the only one that uses it. It’s not restrictive in the content I could make, it’s reasonably simple and I’ve found that it sticks in people’s minds because I’ve had multiple people question me about what a mix of a bongo and a toucan would be like, and it isn’t a one off thing that they mention, it’s brought up a few times over time

    I know the pain of trying to find a decent username. It took me over a month when trying to rebrand to find a new name. To those looking for new names: you can find inspiration from the most random things in life, when at a wall just take a break and do something else to get your mind off. You might be surprised what you can find.

    I had "Foxy" For the longest time back when I was a kid because I was obsessed with Foxy from FNAF and mentioned it every chance I had -,.,-
    Username tip I would give: It doesn't have to be completly abstract, you can use a name that haves something common in it, if it holds meaning for you or if it sounds cool or cute with the rest of the username. My username is made of two common words and yet it sounds nice.
    About my username: Muffin is a name I had for a very long time, and back when I met my boyfriend he said one of the main reasons he was interested in meeting me was because my username was cute, so it holds a soft spot because if I didn't have this name maybe we wouldn't have met. The shy part is something about me, I am introverted and shy and well it looks cute when you mix Shy and Muffin (I mostly only use ShyMuffin for gamertag and Muffin for social media but in cases like youtube I use ShyMuffin) It is also easy to remember and I can be called both Shy or Muffin. Which are both cute and easy to say.

I went down to 930 followers and am not gaining any. The only way I can promote my stream right now besides promoting myself on discord servers politely. If you have any tips for me please let me know. It’s probably important to mention that I got some reason changed my name multiple times after that Hamlinz event.

    Now when I have grown up I realise that MANY people have a really similar name...
    I have ALWAYS wanted to stream too and build a gaming community under this name on twitch, but I haven't really saved for my own gaming setup to actually stream... Does that mean I should think of a new name, even tho people know me by this name OVER the years?

      If I changed a name on twitch... Yeah Well the people who follow me (all 7 haha) they would probably think who is that, since I haven't really streamed before that much, only couple test streams, when I tried the Twitch streaming platform, I think it was called Stream Labs, I am sure you know what I am talking about.
      So yeah... I usually pop in the community streams, meet new friends, and they have been knowing me by the name, but not exactly by the face since I never used webcam before (that would be nice, but I am still trying to get over being so shy. Being in the communities and Voice Chats have really helped me overcome the fear of me talking to strangers and that way meet new friends).

    My handle is KainDrago. It's based off of two of my favorite characters in fiction. Kain from Legacy of Kain and of course, Ivan Drago.
    My theme is the Kingdom of Kain. My intro isn't hard written yet but the rough draft is essentially we share the kingdom, so be good to each other and let's have fun.
    And my "ranks" are royalty based. Duke, Earl, Lord and Lady, that sort of thing.
    My new dynamic scene collection is medieval looking. The background looks like a stone wall and the motion cuts for scenes are flames.
    The pre stream and BRB/break scenes have some royalty free medieval sounding music at a comfortable volume.
