hmm honest i scored very little but i love trying to learn be better and was eye opening will have to keep rewatching i think especially on a day off from work so can fully focus better
I’m trying to steam on my Xbox and I don’t have a computer, so I guess my question would be, do I need a computer and capture card to save my streams because I can’t figure it out other wise? Any help is appreciated
@@xrsnipey i got raided by 100 pple. Mmobyte sent his stream to me. Then they didn't even stay lol sigh they dwindled bit by bit till they all left -_-
As an Autistic person I really struggle with most 'how-to' guides because they're not actually good. They're super vague, saying things like 'learn to market yourself' or 'talk constantly'. Which are fine tips for people who don't need explicit instruction to actually understand what needs to be done. This video was immensely helpful as it had specific things within those categories that I can actually action. I've had some pretty decent growth already, but this will really help me go that step further. Thank you
This was heartbreaking to watch. It made me realize how much I haven't actually tried to stream, but thank you for the tips that I will now use to hopefully grow.
Love the honesty and tough love. I was nervous at first. When you started to talk about a list of 32 things, and started getting a bit (politely) tough, I knew there would be some tough pills to swallow. But I did watch to the end, and I did take on board what you had to say. I'm glad to say that while I'm only doing about 15 of these right now, I can see the areas I need to improve. I can see how to improve. And after seriously contemplating the tough pills, I do not believe they are game/enders for me. This has boosted my overall confidence while highlighting things I need to work on. Thank you.
Thank you for always being real with your audience! I started noticing lack in growth after months of slow and steady growth and decided to hit the brakes on my stream. Instead I want to focus fully on content creation right now. I've found a secret love in video editing and am working hard to come up with video ideas, guides, etc. My small community has fully embraced my small break from streaming and supports me which is a great feeling. Also doing 26/32 tips already is not too bad if I do say to myself!
You said near the end that nobody is there to help us in the beginning, and for the most part that is true. Honestly though, you have been here making videos like this through my journey, and so we do have someone, we have you. Thank you for your quality content, and quality advice.
I really appreciate this breakdown; it's far more damaging to set unrealistic parameters and expectations for something than to face the facts surrounding the desired outcome, in this case, being seen, followed, and recommended to other viewers. I'm currently in that camp of hesitation, but that's a general problem I have with most things, something I'm working on. It's nice to see direct answers to complex questions. Thanks for this.
4:00 very important! Once I started playing a less competitive game (Skyrim). It changed everything. I went from feeling boring and hopeless to having a lot of fun. Here's what I did for my first successful stream with legit 10 followers and no viewers to sum up the first 4 minutes of the video. I went from playing csgo to skyrim. The idea for the stream I had was play the game but put in mods and change the mods I was using throughout the stream. The title had 2 engaging keywords; Mods and 12 hour stream. I think the title was something like: 12 Hour Stream! Ruining Skyrim By Adding Random Mods. And lastly I kept talking, even if it wasn't to a viewer and there were ZERO periods of silence. You stop talking for legit more then 2 seconds you'll start dropping off I know we're told no one likes a chatterbox but with streaming it's a must! Once I combined all those things I had a solid 12 hour stream were I averaged 12 viewers and peaked at 21 and got 20 followers that stream. I wanna get back into it even for just 1 or 2 days a week for 4 hours, time is my biggest enemy right now.
Same here, i havent actually streamed yet but ive been doing my research. Im unwell right now so i would be boring to watch as im untalkative currently thanks to a headache and sore throay (which is why im here doing MORE research lol) from all the research ive done, being unique in a smaller game and talking alot is probably the most crucial part for starting out (aside from tech stuff like quality mic, not getting copyrighted, ect)
@@Hxnnibe3 I actually just started streaming and it’s tuff I will take a lot of these tips in to consideration because they seem very helpful. I hope you feel better even though this is two weeks late
@@bagachipslive8701 haha i am feeling better thank you! Ive done my first two streams actually ive done a minecraft one (im in an smp) and then sticking to my word ive also done a moonglow bay livestream however it wasint that entertaining so i may pick something a little more interesting to watch
Tip number 32. I really appreciate you keeping it real. I normally would just keep going and going I'm stubborn like that. But if in a month or so I haven't grown then I'm gonna take a step back, and see what I can realistically improve. Thank you.
Bro that was actually a super valuable one. It took me about a year to get 50 followers and affiliate, but I noticed I was struggling so hard to grow. I had to step back from twitch for a year or two because of life, but when I came back it allowed me to re-evaluate the entire venture and see how I could improve. I’ve nearly doubled those numbers in a few weeks because of that re-evaluation.
ive worked on several of these tips, not all 32 sadly but im getting there, but your wording and tips for creating and harvesting success is outstanding. I love the transitions and the helpful insite and look forward to seeing more :D
I think the biggest problem is, that many beginners don't watch their own stuff. Sometimes out of laziness, sometimes because they are aware of the fact, that they just sat there, stonefaced, doing nothing other than playing the game, while not saying a word. All you need to do, is search those streamers with 0-2 viewers. It's just sad, because some of them genuinely seem like pleasent, friendly guys... So to all of you out there. I think, one of the most important tips in this video is to ENTERTAIN. Don't look at the numbers. Just be you. Be silly. Make jokes. Sooner rather than later, someone will be in your stream, in your chat and be laughing with you. Oh and quick note: This channel helped me alot to take a step back and look on what I can improve on. So. Thank you for being out there, providing us little ones, with some really life altering tips!
I actually agree with look at their own streams. The past year I've gone through and clipped mine (thx god twitch as the fast play) and I do notice moment where I could have done something funny. Or even just thinking back to the stream.
Not at all, honestly stressing the "review, review, review" and "if you are failing, stop doing this. REVIEW where you are failing if you want to keep going" is important.
I think it's all about objectives and goals, If you want to grow, you have to make you known and easily "findable" and such but as for myself ...I daydream about beng famous and rich but realistically, that is not my goal, when I start a stream it's to have fun with a couple of viewer and growing a small community so ... I think you need to know what you want, what hope and what you can do, in order to do what you can, try to achieve what you want, still aiming for what you hope ;) And thanks Eljayem for all the advices I won't follow :p , I really enjoy your work
As soon as you said ,,I got a challenge for you, Billie", I was like *grabbing a piece of paper and a pen*. I got 23/32 and I'm so glad that I've been watching your videos since shortly before I've started streaming. I've been streaming for about 5 months now, using many of your tips and it's going so well! I've had 23 viewers a couple of times now and got an amazing little community. Man, I couldn't thank you enough for all your help!
Tip 33: Wear a hat in a warm room. This way the audience will think that you are cold and don't have money for heating, and that you are playing video games instead of working. They will look for a donation link to reward your unemployment.
I remember averaging 2-4 viewers, consistency is something that also helps a lot gain viewers and traction, I can count with my two hands how many days I haven't streamed this year so far, Streaming should be something done for fun/hobby/passion, but this video is really helpful! Thank you!
I'm doing 22 out of 32. Been streaming for 2 weeks. I have seen a tiny bit of growth which I see as a success, but there is definitely room for improvement and I'm glad I found this video to help me identify the aspects in which I am going wrong. Thank you!
Congrats, im ordering a new mic and webcam, and planning to follow all of this guys guides to hopefully see any growth even 5 consistent viewers during my streaming schedule ill consider a huge success. good luck to with your growth
I love how I’m sitting at my desk day job watching this, realizing there are things I need to improve for my after work streams… (alt-tabs to fix all my streaming stuff immediately) lol
thank you so much for this video. i've been trying since over a month and it's really difficult to grow on twitch when you only have one or two viewers because you're always gonna be on the very bottom of the channel lists.
It's weird coming back to this video after a year of streaming. I'm blessed with a wonderful community now and I'm having a lot of fun streaming. Just happy I watched this thing way before I started my first stream cuz I absolutely had zero knowledge about what to do and this gave me a heck of a head start. So yeah thanks for this dude. Amazing work!
This was the nicest bit of bitter honesty of I've ever gotten. At present, I'm very modestly accomplishing 5 of 32 of these tips but this video may have been the kick in the ass to dig deeper into this to really maximize it. Good on ya 👏🏼
Thanks for all the tips. The past month I have really been struggling with what my next step should be. #32 was exactly what I needed. This week my goal was to work on a lot of things I know need changing, but I was afraid that I need to keep going live and not take that time off to readdress some things. It gets hard to fix things when you constantly need it stable to go live. It also made me realize something else. Another struggle I believe I've had is understanding what roles I fulfill. Hearing all those roles has helped me embrace some new things going forward. I sometimes wondered if I was doing too much. You've made me realize, I still have to step up in some areas and do more, lol. I can't wait, I'm enjoying this challenge of having to get better.
Just made my first stream. I don't do it for money, fame or anything else. I just like gaming and want to share it. Thanks for the tips, great video. It felt good and had fun, kind of weird since I don't consider myself a very good gamer, just a passionate one. Love to y'all 💪
I got a solid 23, though a lot of them I have gotten over that last couple of weeks, where I have been binging your videoes. It's so great to get some real advice other than "just keep going", it means I have actively been improving my stream, and I have more fun because of it.
@@Doritoboy200live you can't just say no disrespect, and then say something disrespectful (and wrong). That doesn't negate anything. You should really consider why you think that way. Is it based on an actual trend, or is it because bitter men keep saying it, because they're jealous (and so you repeat that as many sadly does).
@@Salli199 im not saying this because im jealous but many females go viral easily on social media and get more viewers on twitch, its true but at the same time im pretty sure you put as much effort as everyone else, But compared to males your results come faster (sad truth is, most men complain about how easy it is for females but males are the the ones giving the most views/likes)
Not gonna lie.. this is exactly the video I needed right now. I just finished almost a year long series in my youtube niche and was struggling praying for an answer of just what to DO next. I was outright depressive lately and it was flooding into other parts of my life. Thanks to you I have found some new motivation and I believe I can continue to do what I love. (By the way the channel in question is Sakubou 💜 ) much love and you've absolutely earned yourself a new sub
I have watched HUNDREDS of "you need to know this" "x amount of tips every new streamer needs to know" ect, and NONE of them compare to how much info is PACKED in this video! I look forward to your other videos!
Surprisingly I found out a few of these just by taking a second and thinking about it after a stream, I appreciate everything you are doing to help all of us. I'm at 27/32 atm and am planning on continuing my improvement. Been streaming for about 2 weeks now and even just getting a few extra viewers makes me feel it's worth it (Don't even get me started on the feeling I get when I get a new follower!) But again I appreciate it!
I'm doing at least 26 of these already, which I'm proud of myself for, and I am seeing growth. Excited to keep learning and growing! Also the "don't be a variety streamer right from the start" was something I really needed to hear! Going to stick to playing what I love :D
I just want to say I actually cant believe what iv just witnessed i just streamed and did exactly what this video said and gained 15 views constant and 20 new followers, thank you so much man . Also the game category one was the most helpful :D
I'm on my 2nd year of streaming consistently and only got 18/32. It took me a long time to learn a lot of this on my own, but I wasn't really thinking about growing or building anything early on. I just kept going live every day because it was fun. After 516 days in a row I was just really frustrated because I felt like I was putting in a lot of effort and not really seeing any results. I decided to end that daily stream streak and start trying to figure out how to actually grow. It's been a couple of weeks and it's a huge learning curve. I'm still frustrated, but optimistic.
@flyandshy00 this was 5 months ago lol. Dropping it wouldn't have served me because I feel joyful from the action of streaming. I'm just simply not concerned with growing on twitch anymore, so of course, it has grown a bit lol.
I started streaming about a month ago and am at 44 followers and an average of 2.18 viewers on at the same time and 40 views per uploaded VOD. I hadn't seen any of these tips yet but I was already doing 27 out of 32. Looking forward to applying more tips and seeing how that helps!
You being female REALLY helps, I'm not trying to offend just being real. With that said you just Advertising that you steam can help you lots, that and collaborate
@@johng3690I know, I came across a twitch streamer who just mentioned “Female” in the title and nothing like no mic or cam. So on my stream I did the same. Surprisingly I had got 6 followers that day
Genuinely, thank you so much for making this video. I've been streaming for about a month or two now and hit a rut in my growth numbers after doing so well to hit affiliate and I had no idea why. This has given me a list of things to fix and work on. It's really renewed my passion for what I do and its let me focus on doing things that will actually help instead of going live every day and redefining the term insanity 🙏
Just about to start streaming again since old days of periscope, and just wanted to say how excited I am to see the rest of your channel. Having been in post-audio professionally, it's been difficult hearing these kids stream their content with ZERO headroom, then start screaming, and blowing out their waveform with no compressor or limiter on the channel. THANK YOU. All is excellent advice. Obvious why so many subs! You ROCK!
Hey, I really appreciate that last tip. Honesty is refreshing and it's honestly a blessing to have people like you out here guiding us noobs to the hope of success. 💕
Mad respect for the honesty and the brutal truths of the responsibilities of content creation. This definitely opened my eyes to do more, as I am a small streamer myself. I got 20/32
Just jumping off the cliff into the depths of streaming at 48!! Thank you for this video, most of which I haven't grasped yet, I will be watching it multiple times
i just made a one minute edit trying to inspire people in living life, its in my account. I know that is annoying commenting like this, but if u could whatch it and let me know what you think, it would mean the world.
I appreciate your putting this video out for we, the aspiring streamers and video producers. Your sincerity in its presentation and motivation is genuine. Its tips and methods can help the new and seasoned begin and become better at the craft, respectively. Thank you!
One of the better tip videos I’ve watched. With clear guidelines. I’ve done some of this but not in a serious way. I think I’m going to sit down and really look at where I’m going with my content.
As someone who has experienced many of these difficulties you've discussed, I can appreciate the honesty and reality of how you went about giving these tips. Though some may not agree, I think it's very respectable to be as straight forward about it as you were.
No problem :) Thanks to this video, I've made extreme amounts of progress compared to my previous attempts at starting my own channel. Sometimes people just need a dose of reality haha. Myself included.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this. And thank you for not sugar coating it all. That ending bit about stopping if things just aren't going right and taking the time to see what's going wrong was very reassuring. I'm aspiring to be a streamer and content creator myself and I've been dreaming of it for 8 years. But I've finally managed the courage to stop dreaming and try to pursue this dream and try my best with the understanding that failure is very much the likely option. But learning now that there are plenty of ways to increase those odds just a bit more and plenty of ways to use my analytic brain to see what can be improved and try again if things go wrong. This video gave just little egg of hope to push myself out of the crippling fear of making the final steps of pushing myself over that limit and finishing my step to be ready to stream. So Once Again. Just Thank you.
Appreciate the reality check at the end. It actually made me realize I should keep going despite feeling like there's not much coming out of it because even though my audience is small I am getting people to come back on a pretty consistent basis.
2:00 the other thing I’d suggest is having a friend view the stream and chat as if they were a random viewer, this makes it not awkward, and gives you practice interacting with viewers.
0/32 I'm just starting out and have a huge blast of content planned. A bit of a different direction than what you mainly focus on, but most of what you're saying is something that I can clearly see being useful. I want to learn, I want to adapt and I want to improve, so thank you for the tips and tricks. Having watched 5 of your videos I must say that your content is highly educational and very relevant so you've just earned yourself another sub : ) I hope that I will be looking back at the comment in a year and remembering where everything began!
I've done 0/32 of these tips. I'm spending all of January, maybe even longer, learning the craft of streaming and content creation and discovering your channel makes me feel like I struck gold. I can't thank you enough for creating these videos!
@@zacharyriley4468 i plan on starting to stream soon! i’ve set almost everything up completely and i made my twitch about page look professional and fun at the same time!
After about a month I got 15 followers , and I haven’t even talked much. Trick is to have some skill and a general rule of thumb, if people flock to you in REAL life they will do the same online.
Just real and detailed enough to be helpful and actionable, just simple and encouraging enough to be, well encouraging. That's a really good job putting this together. Thank you, an thanks for putting this out there.
Hello ! Thanks for your video, i started to steam 4 years ago and i still not growing, i tried to get more quality of sound, video, make video on RUclips and a lot of tips you talked about. I was saying to myself "i just have no luck only 1% of streamers can grow, i did my best !" But... you made me realize that i didn't try to stream like 100% and do what i started to stream first: The Entertainment, having fun with all random people who came on my stream, give 100% on my energy and not just chilling whole stream. Thanks for the last tips it was a real wake-up call for me
Dude thank you so much for you content. I started streaming one week ago and already got affiliated, your tips really helped me and i don't even have friends that stay in my streams. I always wanted to do this but always felt insecure but with your guides I got the most profissional I could with mic, cam, overlay and etc. That helped overcome my insecurities, I always thought of myself as a uninteresting and unfunny guy, and my viewers helped me see my funny and interesting side. Isn't a exaggerated to say you helped to change my life! Much love brother ❤️
I have not kept track of the amount of tips but will go back and review, this guide and tip video sure does help. I've become affiliate within 12 days and grown to 140 followers. Average viewers are about a dozen. But I struggle for time/game content. I have now not streamed for a week, hoping that did not hurt the viewers but am now incorporating new content and same content as you mentioned. Been in it for 2 months. Thanks for the tips again.
I really appreciate the tips you provided in the video! Thank you for not leaving out the last part, and for being honest. I know I could grow in many ways as a streamer. I won't become a big success in one day. I need to see what I need to fix, and start addressing those issues. Again, thanks a lot for the tips! :)
So I was quite critical but I’m doing at least 19 of these with a couple that I could do better with. I’ve actually written everything down and I’ll pick one or two a week that I can definitely improve on! I also think for people who work jobs alongside streaming, we could book in a couple of hours each week to do this sort of stuff. It make sure we don’t get overwhelmed, but feel positive we are making small improvements each week!! Legend as always, thanks ELJAY!
I may have only started watching your content recently, but ive already seen majority of the videos.(eventually gonna get through em all) I love how honest you are with your audience and its on things that really do need to be said, that most others just won't tell them. I believe the delivery on the last tip was extremely important as it tends to be a very delicate topic for most. Congrats on 100k! I look forward to watching more of your content.
Glad the channel has been helpful, I try to be straight forward while not being harsh so this comment helps relieve a lot of stress! Thanks for the kind words, and the congrats! Hope I can keep helping!
Hey, I am currently stetting everything up. I have been setting and learning stuff the past 4 days. It hasn't been non stop but at least 4h a day I was on the learning curve. Didn't really want to watch the video but clicked on it. I am extremely happy to say I've done around 20 of the 32 tips on my own and I have worked on them. Got maybe 5 more that I will instantly incorporate today. Planning to start streaming next Monday. Hopefully (even tho it is impossible) everything will be the way I want it to be as design and just raw "studio" (my bedroom) work. I have 5 more videos of yours lined up and a lot of work to do. Will be happy to come back in some time and share the progress. Thank you!
15 points. I've only started taking this seriously the past few months but im finding my niche and learning when I get more views! This video helped so much. I will be using my break day (today) to assess all my technical issues and then dive into planning for my Wednesday stream 💚 thank you for all your help these videos are wonderful
I haven't really "gotten my start" but I am really enjoying learning the process. Your videos are the gold standard for me. I have been doing a lot of these at the behest of a friend of mine who watches you, but there is so much more I need to do. Still trying to figure out how to set up a schedule and market my streams from just the title with both a shifting schedule for work and the fact that my current goal in the main game that I play is pretty basic. But other than that, these were pretty simple and interesting takes for me to grab onto. Still need to save up for a webcam and a good mic, but besides that, these are all great tips that I can do to adjust and get back into things RIGHT away.
Love your content I will promote your twitch stream in my gaming groups I have 5 star reviews for only $10 share this I will give you a share of the profit
These are the best tips. Amazing motivation at the end! I used to stream every week but stopped due to my college classes. Now that Summer is around the corner I want to start consistently streaming again. Thanks for the great video!
"insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and hoping for different results" ... you're so right in that last point. I've just recently started, so all this comes in handy -- all of it very good advice, thanks ;)
Currently on a hiatus since I'm in the process of moving, but I love these tips! Even the final one! Too many people can't understand that streaming isn't for everyone and _that is okay_
I really wanna thank you for sharing these tips while being completely honest. I've started 10 days ago from now and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't growing. God willing, this time, I'll be able to perfect my craft. 🙂
16 XD, I've kinda done the last tip around two times now and every time I do that I feel like I did get better, even if its a little bit. Also I've recently started trying out your 10 minute self talk session, and boy does it help a lot especially when I do it before going live. I feel more confident and my casting is improved overall as well!
Nice work! The best part about getting 16/32 is that you have lots of ways you can improv, and they aren't massive steps so just one at a time! Glad to hear you're working hard, and the 10 minute tip helped! :)
Tip 14 is super important! I tried recording and noticed that it was barely picking up my voice and more background noise, and it's because it was trying to use my webcam's built in mic and NOT my razor soundcard/mic. Always check what source the audio is being picked up from before blaming it on your mic and buying a new one!
Thank you for all the advice this channel has to offer! When I originally started streaming it was more of a way to analyze old gameplay and see how I could improve, then I was actually getting viewers and the interaction with the people in chat (even if it was just 1 person...) was just fun to me. I started incorporating some of your ideas and tips into my stream and within I think a month of streaming I've hit affiliate status! You've helped me turn something into a fun hobby that I enjoy doing and for that I am grateful. I do need to work on my consistency though through my schedule :x
This video has really given me a larger perspective on the streaming community, and the amount of effort some of my favorite content creators are doing to entertain the people they love. Subbed
This is incredibly useful as I have just started streaming more consistently and so far I’m enjoying it even tho i have barely any viewers. I have also started posting content on my new channel (this one) and trying hard to grow something out of it so thank you for the incredible advice!!
Just off the back off taking a month long break, I got two thirds of the way to making a full time income and started getting burnt out, I think its easy to become Complacent and forget all the bits and bobs needed to keep your self entertaining, I've been thinking alot about the phrase "having it". From starting streaming and gaining an audience i was proud to say i was doing well and was under the impression what ever "it" was i had it. I then all of a sudden stopped taking pride in my content, I think it was because i stopped grinding and dropped to just turning up and playing for 3/4 hours. If you know you're not working hard enough you're gonna go downhill in my opinion. Trying to come back to it with a less grindy mindset but also have that balance in doing things i'm proud of and making progress. Got to keep Learning Always and Make sure the content i'm putting out is good enough.
Love the fact through the entire video he’s making it clear in almost every tip “You’ll only grow if YOU want to grow. There’s no one or nothing else to blame”
Thank you Eljay, Ive been streaming for about 1 month and im following 31 out of 32 tips (Trying to stick to a category is rough). Im super proud of the growth ive had since i started putting serious work into my stream and i know i wouldnt have gotten this far without your content and advice
I got most of these!! Only ones I was missing was the pro tip about protecting yourself by not putting personal info in the blocked category. I also don't have my own discord set up yet and I don't have overlays but I'm working on it! I'm returning to streaming after almost a nine (!) year break! I was doing pretty well, I was getting about 50-100 viewers per stream back in the day, all I need for affiliate status now is a couple more unique days of streaming. But now I'm having to start over basically from scratch, and your videos have been incredible. Streaming is definitely a different ball game nowadays vs what it was like nine years ago so your videos have been very helpful in helping me learn what it's like to stream today.
Honestly, I'm very surprised that I got 28 tips out of 32. I've been streaming for two years and only just recently started to actually grow. Thank you for the helpful tips, even though the last one was a bit harsh
This is exactly what I needed to hear. A lot of things I've already been thinking, but good to hear come from you. Its only made me more motivated. I've only been streaming for a week. I work a full time job and stream every evening as an outlet. And I love it. Thanks for this video.
Exactly the same here. I wish I could just quit my real job and stream all day but alas. I'm taking both very seriously though, between streaming and working I hardly have any personal time these days. But I'm extremely passionate about one day being a full-time streamer. Good luck to you!
This is so insightful. Thank you for making the time to help all of us smaller streamers out! I’ve been streaming for almost a year now and still struggle to get over 10 consistent viewers on my streams but with the right changes I know I will be successful. :)
Thanks man, this helped me out a lot. I started streaming about a week ago, and some of the things you went over, I didn’t even know about. I don’t have a pc or face cam yet so I’ve been doing it from my Xbox until I finally get my pc and face cam.
This is probably the biggest pinned video that I should come back to after I'm done with uni - you have all the points laid out correctly, I agree with all of them and after many years of trying and attempting things, I have learnt enough to just about be able to take in guides like this video and actually be able to somewhat process the intensity of this craft tbh, I have been avoiding this video for a good half a year at least since I saw it in my recommended ahah
Listened to this in the car today, thanks again! Will have to listen to it again when I get home and actually see which of the tips I really need to focus on. Also, wanted to say a HUGE congrats on 100K followers, well deserved sir.
I literally just started streaming and I have seen how many mistakes I’ve been making just based on this tutorial video. I have a lot of work to do and a lot of training to still do to improve. Thank you so much for the video
Hands down thank you for this vid. Thanks to the information Im actually able to establish a plan of attack when it comes to what I need to do to be a content creator and streamer. Prior to your vid, I had no way of knowing where to begin. BEST GUIDE EVER FOR A NEW STREAMER!
This was very helpful and thank you for taking your time to give streamer the push to view how they want to stream. Why they want to stream and if they have what it takes to make it as a streamer. The tips and tools are important.
Just found this video. I think the thing I struggle with the most is the thought of what other people may think. Inside and outside of my circle. The mental battle of streaming is much harder than doing it in my opinion. I can’t wait to start over and see where this can take me. It’s been my dream for years and video games are my passion. I guess I just have to remember that outweighs the rest of it all. Thanks man
NGL chief, I'm doing exactly none of these things (very well). I have my About filled out and a small Rules panel, and I have a basic overlay, but not much else. To be fair, I am still at a VERY beginner level so I'm still figuring a lot out and I took a lot of notes on this video! It continuously amazes me how much goes into being a streamer, and how much I wouldn't even consider being a thing until someone else brings it up. I seriously appreciate the fact that you make all these guides because it makes me feel more confident about my ability to do things well when I start streaming again.
I got 24 out of 32! As I was watching the video, I took notes on things I have to change and get better at this video helped a lot. I have actually been doing the other tips prior to watching this video, but I'm still trying to find my own niche and setting a schedule.
It’s very tedious but if it’s something you enjoy, keep at it. It’s hard to be discovered first when starting anything, you just need to publish on other platforms and engage in the community like you said, because people don’t want to watch a nobody, who doesn’t talk or engage. I forget to talk sometimes on stream, or don’t want people to hear me cough or sneeze but you have to not care in the end because it’s your channel, your content and your time you are putting into learning everything to build a brand.
Thank you so much for the tips! I know I have the passion, the drive and the patience to achieve my dream! It may take time, but courage and motivation can take you places if used correctly. I Just started, and hadn't really gotten any tips. However I was doing about 15/32 things that you mentioned in this video. Not too bad for not having too much of an idea how to do this alone. Wish me luck brother!
Whenever I go on twitch I just go to random peoples streams with 0 viewers and I tell them to keep it up and don't give up cause I feel bad for those who out in so much work with little to show for it
This video was so very helpful. I have subscribed and will be looking at the content to better improve my stream. As someone who is new to streaming (I've only been doing it for a week) I think it is important to have the "real talk" about what it is. Being told exactly how it works and that it is hard work and not just hitting the "go live" button and hoping for the best. I lost count because I was more interested in the content then keeping count, but I know I'm currently doing 20+ of these. Thanks for all the tips!!!
Thank you for this video! I've been using this channel so much while setting up my Twitch, from learning everything about obs, setting up my mic to creating content You're officially my mentor 😂 But seriously, these videos are so helpful!
Sometimes I try to give new streamers an "opportunity" to see if they are fun or entertaining, but searching the 0-1 viewers at the bottom. And Most of them are just in silence. I tried even chatting and interacting with a guy, by asking what was the song and he responded: "how you don't know this song, everyone knows it", I left immediately, these new streamers put 0 effort and just "hope for the best".
I think it’s not an effortless attempt just not good people skills sometimes. Like someone join omg!!how do I keep them here?? what do I do? Anxiety kicks in and people just either say something you don’t like or they just go silent. When I stream I try to talk and entertain anyone that joins. Definitely will be responding in the chat but I find myself “locking in” on the game. I think it’s just practice and lack of knowledge tbh
Thanks so much for these videos, I love your realism and your videos are so helpful. I started on Twitch about a year ago and began a small community of 15-20 peeps. I had to change my schedule due to work and it was so discouraging to basically start from scratch, and no longer see those people I enjoyed streaming for. Your videos have motivated me to try to rebuild, thanks bruh
14/31 and i'm growing so 15/32. This was a great video and there is so much great information! Thank you very much for all your help and advice I'[m excited to put these rules into action! If it helps everyone I wrote every single rule down on a peice of paper and keep it beside me to remind me of what needs to be done and i use it as a guidline ! Happy streaming everyone!
This has definitely given me a wake up call and i have realized that im doing alot wrong on my streams im gonna go ahead and take that step back and put alot more work into my vids and stop thinking im gonna go viral over night because its not gonna happen.thanks for the reality check. U earned another subscriber

thanks
I’m trying to steam on my Xbox and I don’t have a computer, so I guess my question would be, do I need a computer and capture card to save my streams because I can’t figure it out other wise? Any help is appreciated
Last one is legit. It's true...sometimes shit just isn't for you and it is some luck involved
Couldn’t be a better time for this video since yesterday I quite literally “just went live, and hoped for the best” lol
Well I hope this helps give you some places to improve and grow as a creator!
@@StreamScheme thanks, and for all your content, cheers!
Lmao who hasn't done this! hahah
You can hope for the best lol. I got raided by 20 people but I wasn’t prepared because my volume wasn’t set up on my stream.

As an Autistic person I really struggle with most 'how-to' guides because they're not actually good. They're super vague, saying things like 'learn to market yourself' or 'talk constantly'. Which are fine tips for people who don't need explicit instruction to actually understand what needs to be done. This video was immensely helpful as it had specific things within those categories that I can actually action. I've had some pretty decent growth already, but this will really help me go that step further. Thank you
As a fat guy I really love hot dogs.

Have you grown?
Love the honesty and tough love.
I was nervous at first. When you started to talk about a list of 32 things, and started getting a bit (politely) tough, I knew there would be some tough pills to swallow.
But I did watch to the end, and I did take on board what you had to say.
I'm glad to say that while I'm only doing about 15 of these right now, I can see the areas I need to improve. I can see how to improve. And after seriously contemplating the tough pills, I do not believe they are game/enders for me.
This has boosted my overall confidence while highlighting things I need to work on.
Thank you.
Thank you for always being real with your audience! I started noticing lack in growth after months of slow and steady growth and decided to hit the brakes on my stream. Instead I want to focus fully on content creation right now. I've found a secret love in video editing and am working hard to come up with video ideas, guides, etc. My small community has fully embraced my small break from streaming and supports me which is a great feeling. Also doing 26/32 tips already is not too bad if I do say to myself!
Dezz! I am so glad to see an update from you! Glad you’ve found something you enjoy! Editing is hella fun! And RUclips is tough but rewarding!
Leave your info

You said near the end that nobody is there to help us in the beginning, and for the most part that is true. Honestly though, you have been here making videos like this through my journey, and so we do have someone, we have you. Thank you for your quality content, and quality advice.
Hm
I really appreciate this breakdown; it's far more damaging to set unrealistic parameters and expectations for something than to face the facts surrounding the desired outcome, in this case, being seen, followed, and recommended to other viewers. I'm currently in that camp of hesitation, but that's a general problem I have with most things, something I'm working on. It's nice to see direct answers to complex questions. Thanks for this.
4:00 very important! Once I started playing a less competitive game (Skyrim). It changed everything. I went from feeling boring and hopeless to having a lot of fun. Here's what I did for my first successful stream with legit 10 followers and no viewers to sum up the first 4 minutes of the video. I went from playing csgo to skyrim. The idea for the stream I had was play the game but put in mods and change the mods I was using throughout the stream. The title had 2 engaging keywords; Mods and 12 hour stream. I think the title was something like: 12 Hour Stream! Ruining Skyrim By Adding Random Mods. And lastly I kept talking, even if it wasn't to a viewer and there were ZERO periods of silence. You stop talking for legit more then 2 seconds you'll start dropping off I know we're told no one likes a chatterbox but with streaming it's a must! Once I combined all those things I had a solid 12 hour stream were I averaged 12 viewers and peaked at 21 and got 20 followers that stream. I wanna get back into it even for just 1 or 2 days a week for 4 hours, time is my biggest enemy right now.
Same here, i havent actually streamed yet but ive been doing my research. Im unwell right now so i would be boring to watch as im untalkative currently thanks to a headache and sore throay (which is why im here doing MORE research lol) from all the research ive done, being unique in a smaller game and talking alot is probably the most crucial part for starting out (aside from tech stuff like quality mic, not getting copyrighted, ect)
@@Hxnnibe3 I actually just started streaming and it’s tuff I will take a lot of these tips in to consideration because they seem very helpful. I hope you feel better even though this is two weeks late
@@bagachipslive8701 haha i am feeling better thank you! Ive done my first two streams actually ive done a minecraft one (im in an smp) and then sticking to my word ive also done a moonglow bay livestream however it wasint that entertaining so i may pick something a little more interesting to watch
Tip number 32. I really appreciate you keeping it real. I normally would just keep going and going I'm stubborn like that. But if in a month or so I haven't grown then I'm gonna take a step back, and see what I can realistically improve. Thank you.
Bro that was actually a super valuable one. It took me about a year to get 50 followers and affiliate, but I noticed I was struggling so hard to grow. I had to step back from twitch for a year or two because of life, but when I came back it allowed me to re-evaluate the entire venture and see how I could improve. I’ve nearly doubled those numbers in a few weeks because of that re-evaluation.
@@Not_Ciel you GO !!
ive worked on several of these tips, not all 32 sadly but im getting there, but your wording and tips for creating and harvesting success is outstanding. I love the transitions and the helpful insite and look forward to seeing more :D
I think the biggest problem is, that many beginners don't watch their own stuff. Sometimes out of laziness, sometimes because they are aware of the fact, that they just sat there, stonefaced, doing nothing other than playing the game, while not saying a word.
All you need to do, is search those streamers with 0-2 viewers. It's just sad, because some of them genuinely seem like pleasent, friendly guys...
So to all of you out there. I think, one of the most important tips in this video is to ENTERTAIN. Don't look at the numbers. Just be you. Be silly. Make jokes. Sooner rather than later, someone will be in your stream, in your chat and be laughing with you.
Oh and quick note: This channel helped me alot to take a step back and look on what I can improve on. So. Thank you for being out there, providing us little ones, with some really life altering tips!
Censorship is a thing.
I actually agree with look at their own streams. The past year I've gone through and clipped mine (thx god twitch as the fast play) and I do notice moment where I could have done something funny. Or even just thinking back to the stream.
Thank you for the realism at the end, a lot of people don’t want to hear that, but we all need a dose of reality sooner or later.
I hope it wasn't harsh! I just wanted people to think about why they aren't growing, rather than just sit in the same situation without change!
Not at all, honestly stressing the "review, review, review" and "if you are failing, stop doing this. REVIEW where you are failing if you want to keep going" is important.
Yea your good, if people couldn’t take that little tap, then I’d hate it when life kicks them
I think it's all about objectives and goals,
If you want to grow, you have to make you known and easily "findable" and such but as for myself ...I daydream about beng famous and rich but realistically, that is not my goal, when I start a stream it's to have fun with a couple of viewer and growing a small community so ... I think you need to know what you want, what hope and what you can do, in order to do what you can, try to achieve what you want, still aiming for what you hope ;)
And thanks Eljayem for all the advices I won't follow :p , I really enjoy your work
But isn't a few weeks too short to see a noticeable change in viewership? Some channels haven't started gaining numbers until the few months in.
As soon as you said ,,I got a challenge for you, Billie", I was like *grabbing a piece of paper and a pen*.
I got 23/32 and I'm so glad that I've been watching your videos since shortly before I've started streaming. I've been streaming for about 5 months now, using many of your tips and it's going so well! I've had 23 viewers a couple of times now and got an amazing little community. Man, I couldn't thank you enough for all your help!
On my first day streaming i had 16 viewers and it blew my mind
Tip 33: Wear a hat in a warm room. This way the audience will think that you are cold and don't have money for heating, and that you are playing video games instead of working. They will look for a donation link to reward your unemployment.

God damn that is a pretty wild ass user name I almost forgot what year it was
thank you so much for this video. i've been trying since over a month and it's really difficult to grow on twitch when you only have one or two viewers because you're always gonna be on the very bottom of the channel lists.
It's weird coming back to this video after a year of streaming. I'm blessed with a wonderful community now and I'm having a lot of fun streaming. Just happy I watched this thing way before I started my first stream cuz I absolutely had zero knowledge about what to do and this gave me a heck of a head start. So yeah thanks for this dude. Amazing work!
Man I hope I can do this eventually just awkward cause I’m streaming from console so no cam.

This was the nicest bit of bitter honesty of I've ever gotten. At present, I'm very modestly accomplishing 5 of 32 of these tips but this video may have been the kick in the ass to dig deeper into this to really maximize it. Good on ya 👏🏼
Thanks for all the tips. The past month I have really been struggling with what my next step should be. #32 was exactly what I needed. This week my goal was to work on a lot of things I know need changing, but I was afraid that I need to keep going live and not take that time off to readdress some things. It gets hard to fix things when you constantly need it stable to go live.
It also made me realize something else. Another struggle I believe I've had is understanding what roles I fulfill. Hearing all those roles has helped me embrace some new things going forward. I sometimes wondered if I was doing too much. You've made me realize, I still have to step up in some areas and do more, lol. I can't wait, I'm enjoying this challenge of having to get better.
Just made my first stream. I don't do it for money, fame or anything else. I just like gaming and want to share it. Thanks for the tips, great video. It felt good and had fun, kind of weird since I don't consider myself a very good gamer, just a passionate one. Love to y'all 💪
I got a solid 23, though a lot of them I have gotten over that last couple of weeks, where I have been binging your videoes. It's so great to get some real advice other than "just keep going", it means I have actively been improving my stream, and I have more fun because of it.
Hey 23 is great! It means another 9 this you can clearly see to improve on! Killing it! Hope the videos keep helping!
I dunno no disrespect but the reality is it isn't hard to get viewers as a female streamer. You just gotta show up most of the time. But congrats.
@@Doritoboy200live you can't just say no disrespect, and then say something disrespectful (and wrong). That doesn't negate anything.
You should really consider why you think that way. Is it based on an actual trend, or is it because bitter men keep saying it, because they're jealous (and so you repeat that as many sadly does).
@@Salli199 im not saying this because im jealous but many females go viral easily on social media and get more viewers on twitch, its true but at the same time im pretty sure you put as much effort as everyone else, But compared to males your results come faster (sad truth is, most men complain about how easy it is for females but males are the the ones giving the most views/likes)
@@Salli199 he isn’t wrong though, a pretty woman just attracts easy male viewers/creeps.
Not gonna lie.. this is exactly the video I needed right now. I just finished almost a year long series in my youtube niche and was struggling praying for an answer of just what to DO next. I was outright depressive lately and it was flooding into other parts of my life. Thanks to you I have found some new motivation and I believe I can continue to do what I love. (By the way the channel in question is Sakubou 💜 ) much love and you've absolutely earned yourself a new sub
Bro I hope to god you blow up on RUclips. I wanna wake up one day and see 100k subs on your channel, Gl bro.
How's it going now
I have watched HUNDREDS of "you need to know this" "x amount of tips every new streamer needs to know" ect, and NONE of them compare to how much info is PACKED in this video! I look forward to your other videos!
Glad it was helpful! Huzzah!
Surprisingly I found out a few of these just by taking a second and thinking about it after a stream, I appreciate everything you are doing to help all of us. I'm at 27/32 atm and am planning on continuing my improvement. Been streaming for about 2 weeks now and even just getting a few extra viewers makes me feel it's worth it (Don't even get me started on the feeling I get when I get a new follower!) But again I appreciate it!
i love how blunt and straight forward you are on this video. especially the end. thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm doing at least 26 of these already, which I'm proud of myself for, and I am seeing growth. Excited to keep learning and growing! Also the "don't be a variety streamer right from the start" was something I really needed to hear! Going to stick to playing what I love :D
I just want to say I actually cant believe what iv just witnessed i just streamed and did exactly what this video said and gained 15 views constant and 20 new followers, thank you so much man . Also the game category one was the most helpful :D
I’m so glad mate! It’s wild how quickly things can start turning for the better with a bit of guidance! Keep it up!
I'm on my 2nd year of streaming consistently and only got 18/32. It took me a long time to learn a lot of this on my own, but I wasn't really thinking about growing or building anything early on. I just kept going live every day because it was fun. After 516 days in a row I was just really frustrated because I felt like I was putting in a lot of effort and not really seeing any results. I decided to end that daily stream streak and start trying to figure out how to actually grow. It's been a couple of weeks and it's a huge learning curve. I'm still frustrated, but optimistic.
Just drop it. Not worth to worry over it.
@flyandshy00 this was 5 months ago lol. Dropping it wouldn't have served me because I feel joyful from the action of streaming. I'm just simply not concerned with growing on twitch anymore, so of course, it has grown a bit lol.
@@flyandshy00not worth to worry about posting your chess videos either then, huh?

@@johng3690I know, I came across a twitch streamer who just mentioned “Female” in the title and nothing like no mic or cam. So on my stream I did the same. Surprisingly I had got 6 followers that day
Genuinely, thank you so much for making this video. I've been streaming for about a month or two now and hit a rut in my growth numbers after doing so well to hit affiliate and I had no idea why. This has given me a list of things to fix and work on. It's really renewed my passion for what I do and its let me focus on doing things that will actually help instead of going live every day and redefining the term insanity 🙏
Just about to start streaming again since old days of periscope, and just wanted to say how excited I am to see the rest of your channel. Having been in post-audio professionally, it's been difficult hearing these kids stream their content with ZERO headroom, then start screaming, and blowing out their waveform with no compressor or limiter on the channel. THANK YOU. All is excellent advice. Obvious why so many subs! You ROCK!
Hey, I really appreciate that last tip. Honesty is refreshing and it's honestly a blessing to have people like you out here guiding us noobs to the hope of success. 💕
Mad respect for the honesty and the brutal truths of the responsibilities of content creation. This definitely opened my eyes to do more, as I am a small streamer myself. I got 20/32
Just jumping off the cliff into the depths of streaming at 48!! Thank you for this video, most of which I haven't grasped yet, I will be watching it multiple times
What's twitch name
i just made a one minute edit trying to inspire people in living life, its in my account. I know that is annoying commenting like this, but if u could whatch it and let me know what you think, it would mean the world.
I appreciate your putting this video out for we, the aspiring streamers and video producers. Your sincerity in its presentation and motivation is genuine. Its tips and methods can help the new and seasoned begin and become better at the craft, respectively. Thank you!
One of the better tip videos I’ve watched. With clear guidelines. I’ve done some of this but not in a serious way. I think I’m going to sit down and really look at where I’m going with my content.
As someone who has experienced many of these difficulties you've discussed, I can appreciate the honesty and reality of how you went about giving these tips. Though some may not agree, I think it's very respectable to be as straight forward about it as you were.
I appreciate the kind words :)
No problem :) Thanks to this video, I've made extreme amounts of progress compared to my previous attempts at starting my own channel. Sometimes people just need a dose of reality haha. Myself included.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this. And thank you for not sugar coating it all. That ending bit about stopping if things just aren't going right and taking the time to see what's going wrong was very reassuring. I'm aspiring to be a streamer and content creator myself and I've been dreaming of it for 8 years. But I've finally managed the courage to stop dreaming and try to pursue this dream and try my best with the understanding that failure is very much the likely option. But learning now that there are plenty of ways to increase those odds just a bit more and plenty of ways to use my analytic brain to see what can be improved and try again if things go wrong. This video gave just little egg of hope to push myself out of the crippling fear of making the final steps of pushing myself over that limit and finishing my step to be ready to stream. So Once Again. Just Thank you.
Almost 3 years into streaming & still watch stuff like this just in case because is never too much information to learn from & try to be better
Appreciate the reality check at the end. It actually made me realize I should keep going despite feeling like there's not much coming out of it because even though my audience is small I am getting people to come back on a pretty consistent basis.
2:00 the other thing I’d suggest is having a friend view the stream and chat as if they were a random viewer, this makes it not awkward, and gives you practice interacting with viewers.
that's good advice and it does actually work,
0/32 I'm just starting out and have a huge blast of content planned. A bit of a different direction than what you mainly focus on, but most of what you're saying is something that I can clearly see being useful.
I want to learn, I want to adapt and I want to improve, so thank you for the tips and tricks. Having watched 5 of your videos I must say that your content is highly educational and very relevant so you've just earned yourself another sub : )
I hope that I will be looking back at the comment in a year and remembering where everything began!
How did it go?
Update?
I've done 0/32 of these tips. I'm spending all of January, maybe even longer, learning the craft of streaming and content creation and discovering your channel makes me feel like I struck gold. I can't thank you enough for creating these videos!
How has it turned out so far?
@@zacharyriley4468 i plan on starting to stream soon! i’ve set almost everything up completely and i made my twitch about page look professional and fun at the same time!
After about a month I got 15 followers , and I haven’t even talked much. Trick is to have some skill and a general rule of thumb, if people flock to you in REAL life they will do the same online.
Just real and detailed enough to be helpful and actionable, just simple and encouraging enough to be, well encouraging.
That's a really good job putting this together. Thank you, an thanks for putting this out there.
Hello ! Thanks for your video, i started to steam 4 years ago and i still not growing, i tried to get more quality of sound, video, make video on RUclips and a lot of tips you talked about.
I was saying to myself "i just have no luck only 1% of streamers can grow, i did my best !" But... you made me realize that i didn't try to stream like 100% and do what i started to stream first: The Entertainment, having fun with all random people who came on my stream, give 100% on my energy and not just chilling whole stream.
Thanks for the last tips it was a real wake-up call for me
Dude thank you so much for you content. I started streaming one week ago and already got affiliated, your tips really helped me and i don't even have friends that stay in my streams. I always wanted to do this but always felt insecure but with your guides I got the most profissional I could with mic, cam, overlay and etc. That helped overcome my insecurities, I always thought of myself as a uninteresting and unfunny guy, and my viewers helped me see my funny and interesting side.
Isn't a exaggerated to say you helped to change my life! Much love brother ❤️
Great "How-To" video. Brutally honest and to the point (especially the final point) interspersed with humor and genuine personality.
I have not kept track of the amount of tips but will go back and review, this guide and tip video sure does help. I've become affiliate within 12 days and grown to 140 followers. Average viewers are about a dozen. But I struggle for time/game content. I have now not streamed for a week, hoping that did not hurt the viewers but am now incorporating new content and same content as you mentioned. Been in it for 2 months. Thanks for the tips again.
I really appreciate the tips you provided in the video! Thank you for not leaving out the last part, and for being honest. I know I could grow in many ways as a streamer. I won't become a big success in one day. I need to see what I need to fix, and start addressing those issues. Again, thanks a lot for the tips! :)
So I was quite critical but I’m doing at least 19 of these with a couple that I could do better with. I’ve actually written everything down and I’ll pick one or two a week that I can definitely improve on!
I also think for people who work jobs alongside streaming, we could book in a couple of hours each week to do this sort of stuff. It make sure we don’t get overwhelmed, but feel positive we are making small improvements each week!!
Legend as always, thanks ELJAY!
19/32 is pretty awesome! And you're right you get a few clear steps you can focus on each week! Smashing it, JoJoy! :)
I may have only started watching your content recently, but ive already seen majority of the videos.(eventually gonna get through em all)
I love how honest you are with your audience and its on things that really do need to be said, that most others just won't tell them.
I believe the delivery on the last tip was extremely important as it tends to be a very delicate topic for most.
Congrats on 100k!
I look forward to watching more of your content.
Glad the channel has been helpful, I try to be straight forward while not being harsh so this comment helps relieve a lot of stress! Thanks for the kind words, and the congrats! Hope I can keep helping!
Hey, I am currently stetting everything up. I have been setting and learning stuff the past 4 days. It hasn't been non stop but at least 4h a day I was on the learning curve. Didn't really want to watch the video but clicked on it. I am extremely happy to say I've done around 20 of the 32 tips on my own and I have worked on them. Got maybe 5 more that I will instantly incorporate today. Planning to start streaming next Monday. Hopefully (even tho it is impossible) everything will be the way I want it to be as design and just raw "studio" (my bedroom) work. I have 5 more videos of yours lined up and a lot of work to do. Will be happy to come back in some time and share the progress. Thank you!
15 points. I've only started taking this seriously the past few months but im finding my niche and learning when I get more views! This video helped so much. I will be using my break day (today) to assess all my technical issues and then dive into planning for my Wednesday stream 💚 thank you for all your help these videos are wonderful
I haven't really "gotten my start" but I am really enjoying learning the process. Your videos are the gold standard for me. I have been doing a lot of these at the behest of a friend of mine who watches you, but there is so much more I need to do. Still trying to figure out how to set up a schedule and market my streams from just the title with both a shifting schedule for work and the fact that my current goal in the main game that I play is pretty basic. But other than that, these were pretty simple and interesting takes for me to grab onto. Still need to save up for a webcam and a good mic, but besides that, these are all great tips that I can do to adjust and get back into things RIGHT away.
Love your content I will promote your twitch stream in my gaming groups I have 5 star reviews for only $10 share this I will give you a share of the profit
These are the best tips. Amazing motivation at the end! I used to stream every week but stopped due to my college classes. Now that Summer is around the corner I want to start consistently streaming again. Thanks for the great video!
"insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and hoping for different results"
... you're so right in that last point.
I've just recently started, so all this comes in handy -- all of it very good advice, thanks ;)
Currently on a hiatus since I'm in the process of moving, but I love these tips! Even the final one! Too many people can't understand that streaming isn't for everyone and _that is okay_
i do all the tips! Broski i agree with you! Thanks for keeping people motivated and let them know that it is not that easy😄
I truly appreciate this video and how honest you are man. Truly.
I really wanna thank you for sharing these tips while being completely honest. I've started 10 days ago from now and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't growing. God willing, this time, I'll be able to perfect my craft. 🙂
16 XD, I've kinda done the last tip around two times now and every time I do that I feel like I did get better, even if its a little bit. Also I've recently started trying out your 10 minute self talk session, and boy does it help a lot especially when I do it before going live. I feel more confident and my casting is improved overall as well!
Nice work! The best part about getting 16/32 is that you have lots of ways you can improv, and they aren't massive steps so just one at a time! Glad to hear you're working hard, and the 10 minute tip helped! :)
Thank you i almost gave up today, its hard playing for hours and no one shows up :(
DON'T give up. I was too. NOW people are watching me! Loneranger72 🎉🎉🎉
Even worse, same + I got banned by RUclips because my name is ‘AssySlappy’ 🥲
I'll show up, what's your twitch?
same. i had one viewer yesterday :(
Same
Tip 14 is super important! I tried recording and noticed that it was barely picking up my voice and more background noise, and it's because it was trying to use my webcam's built in mic and NOT my razor soundcard/mic. Always check what source the audio is being picked up from before blaming it on your mic and buying a new one!
Thank you for all the advice this channel has to offer! When I originally started streaming it was more of a way to analyze old gameplay and see how I could improve, then I was actually getting viewers and the interaction with the people in chat (even if it was just 1 person...) was just fun to me. I started incorporating some of your ideas and tips into my stream and within I think a month of streaming I've hit affiliate status! You've helped me turn something into a fun hobby that I enjoy doing and for that I am grateful. I do need to work on my consistency though through my schedule :x
This video has really given me a larger perspective on the streaming community, and the amount of effort some of my favorite content creators are doing to entertain the people they love. Subbed
This is incredibly useful as I have just started streaming more consistently and so far I’m enjoying it even tho i have barely any viewers. I have also started posting content on my new channel (this one) and trying hard to grow something out of it so thank you for the incredible advice!!
Just off the back off taking a month long break, I got two thirds of the way to making a full time income and started getting burnt out, I think its easy to become Complacent and forget all the bits and bobs needed to keep your self entertaining, I've been thinking alot about the phrase "having it". From starting streaming and gaining an audience i was proud to say i was doing well and was under the impression what ever "it" was i had it. I then all of a sudden stopped taking pride in my content, I think it was because i stopped grinding and dropped to just turning up and playing for 3/4 hours. If you know you're not working hard enough you're gonna go downhill in my opinion. Trying to come back to it with a less grindy mindset but also have that balance in doing things i'm proud of and making progress. Got to keep Learning Always and Make sure the content i'm putting out is good enough.
Love the fact through the entire video he’s making it clear in almost every tip “You’ll only grow if YOU want to grow. There’s no one or nothing else to blame”
Thank you Eljay, Ive been streaming for about 1 month and im following 31 out of 32 tips (Trying to stick to a category is rough). Im super proud of the growth ive had since i started putting serious work into my stream and i know i wouldnt have gotten this far without your content and advice
I got most of these!! Only ones I was missing was the pro tip about protecting yourself by not putting personal info in the blocked category. I also don't have my own discord set up yet and I don't have overlays but I'm working on it!
I'm returning to streaming after almost a nine (!) year break! I was doing pretty well, I was getting about 50-100 viewers per stream back in the day, all I need for affiliate status now is a couple more unique days of streaming. But now I'm having to start over basically from scratch, and your videos have been incredible. Streaming is definitely a different ball game nowadays vs what it was like nine years ago so your videos have been very helpful in helping me learn what it's like to stream today.
Honestly, I'm very surprised that I got 28 tips out of 32. I've been streaming for two years and only just recently started to actually grow. Thank you for the helpful tips, even though the last one was a bit harsh
This is exactly what I needed to hear. A lot of things I've already been thinking, but good to hear come from you. Its only made me more motivated. I've only been streaming for a week. I work a full time job and stream every evening as an outlet. And I love it. Thanks for this video.
Exactly the same here. I wish I could just quit my real job and stream all day but alas. I'm taking both very seriously though, between streaming and working I hardly have any personal time these days. But I'm extremely passionate about one day being a full-time streamer. Good luck to you!
@@whattheshmitty Ditto
This is so insightful. Thank you for making the time to help all of us smaller streamers out! I’ve been streaming for almost a year now and still struggle to get over 10 consistent viewers on my streams but with the right changes I know I will be successful. :)
Thanks man, this helped me out a lot. I started streaming about a week ago, and some of the things you went over, I didn’t even know about. I don’t have a pc or face cam yet so I’ve been doing it from my Xbox until I finally get my pc and face cam.
This is probably the biggest pinned video that I should come back to after I'm done with uni - you have all the points laid out correctly, I agree with all of them and after many years of trying and attempting things, I have learnt enough to just about be able to take in guides like this video and actually be able to somewhat process the intensity of this craft
tbh, I have been avoiding this video for a good half a year at least since I saw it in my recommended ahah
Listened to this in the car today, thanks again! Will have to listen to it again when I get home and actually see which of the tips I really need to focus on. Also, wanted to say a HUGE congrats on 100K followers, well deserved sir.
Thanks for listening :) And for the kind words! Hope this does help!
I literally just started streaming and I have seen how many mistakes I’ve been making just based on this tutorial video. I have a lot of work to do and a lot of training to still do to improve. Thank you so much for the video
Man, thanks a lot. That was very helpful and encouraging. All the best to you!
Hands down thank you for this vid. Thanks to the information Im actually able to establish a plan of attack when it comes to what I need to do to be a content creator and streamer. Prior to your vid, I had no way of knowing where to begin. BEST GUIDE EVER FOR A NEW STREAMER!
This was very helpful and thank you for taking your time to give streamer the push to view how they want to stream. Why they want to stream and if they have what it takes to make it as a streamer. The tips and tools are important.
Just found this video. I think the thing I struggle with the most is the thought of what other people may think. Inside and outside of my circle. The mental battle of streaming is much harder than doing it in my opinion. I can’t wait to start over and see where this can take me. It’s been my dream for years and video games are my passion. I guess I just have to remember that outweighs the rest of it all. Thanks man
NGL chief, I'm doing exactly none of these things (very well). I have my About filled out and a small Rules panel, and I have a basic overlay, but not much else. To be fair, I am still at a VERY beginner level so I'm still figuring a lot out and I took a lot of notes on this video! It continuously amazes me how much goes into being a streamer, and how much I wouldn't even consider being a thing until someone else brings it up. I seriously appreciate the fact that you make all these guides because it makes me feel more confident about my ability to do things well when I start streaming again.
I got 24 out of 32! As I was watching the video, I took notes on things I have to change and get better at this video helped a lot. I have actually been doing the other tips prior to watching this video, but I'm still trying to find my own niche and setting a schedule.
Absolute beginner here so thank you so much for this! Especially Tips 31 and 32. I really appreciate your honesty as well as your helpful points.
CONGRATS ON 100K!!!!!! Your videos are genuinely so helpful and enjoyable to watch 🥳🥳🥳🥳 By the end of next year you’ll have at least 1mil fs 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Hahaha no way but that would be awesome!
It’s very tedious but if it’s something you enjoy, keep at it. It’s hard to be discovered first when starting anything, you just need to publish on other platforms and engage in the community like you said, because people don’t want to watch a nobody, who doesn’t talk or engage. I forget to talk sometimes on stream, or don’t want people to hear me cough or sneeze but you have to not care in the end because it’s your channel, your content and your time you are putting into learning everything to build a brand.
Thank you so much for the tips! I know I have the passion, the drive and the patience to achieve my dream! It may take time, but courage and motivation can take you places if used correctly. I Just started, and hadn't really gotten any tips. However I was doing about 15/32 things that you mentioned in this video. Not too bad for not having too much of an idea how to do this alone. Wish me luck brother!
Fortunate186 on twitch
Whenever I go on twitch I just go to random peoples streams with 0 viewers and I tell them to keep it up and don't give up cause I feel bad for those who out in so much work with little to show for it
Small streamers don't need pity, they need viewers.
@@finntastiq1524 Truuue.
This video was so very helpful. I have subscribed and will be looking at the content to better improve my stream.
As someone who is new to streaming (I've only been doing it for a week) I think it is important to have the "real talk" about what it is. Being told exactly how it works and that it is hard work and not just hitting the "go live" button and hoping for the best.
I lost count because I was more interested in the content then keeping count, but I know I'm currently doing 20+ of these.
Thanks for all the tips!!!
Thank you for this video! I've been using this channel so much while setting up my Twitch, from learning everything about obs, setting up my mic to creating content
You're officially my mentor 😂
But seriously, these videos are so helpful!
Sometimes I try to give new streamers an "opportunity" to see if they are fun or entertaining, but searching the 0-1 viewers at the bottom. And Most of them are just in silence. I tried even chatting and interacting with a guy, by asking what was the song and he responded: "how you don't know this song, everyone knows it", I left immediately, these new streamers put 0 effort and just "hope for the best".
I think it’s not an effortless attempt just not good people skills sometimes. Like someone join omg!!how do I keep them here?? what do I do? Anxiety kicks in and people just either say something you don’t like or they just go silent. When I stream I try to talk and entertain anyone that joins. Definitely will be responding in the chat but I find myself “locking in” on the game. I think it’s just practice and lack of knowledge tbh
Thanks so much for these videos, I love your realism and your videos are so helpful. I started on Twitch about a year ago and began a small community of 15-20 peeps. I had to change my schedule due to work and it was so discouraging to basically start from scratch, and no longer see those people I enjoyed streaming for. Your videos have motivated me to try to rebuild, thanks bruh
14/31 and i'm growing so 15/32. This was a great video and there is so much great information! Thank you very much for all your help and advice I'[m excited to put these rules into action!
If it helps everyone I wrote every single rule down on a peice of paper and keep it beside me to remind me of what needs to be done and i use it as a guidline ! Happy streaming everyone!
This has definitely given me a wake up call and i have realized that im doing alot wrong on my streams im gonna go ahead and take that step back and put alot more work into my vids and stop thinking im gonna go viral over night because its not gonna happen.thanks for the reality check. U earned another subscriber
Great tips! And amazing motivation to keep going at it! Cheers!
People being like: “I’m not gonna talk to myself”
Me: Already talking to myself as if anybody would listen :3
