@@xTwoShoes Thanks for these videos as well by the way, it's inspired me to work on my panels and spruce up the stream a bit. I think I'm doing well on the talky bits, but it's definitely not as easy as people think. Hard to be objective sometimes about your own performance. Good luck on future videos man.
Funny and true at same time! Ppl often get stuck in their 'rules' n 'tags' forgeting that we are there to play and interact with ppl hah i cracked at " no backseatin" with android t1000 voice :D
This was 2 years old? this is gold for anybody new to streaming not only that I'm a visual learner so you showing me helps I might get back into streaming oneday
I tried streaming 2 years ago, and never came across this video, if I had I probably would've been significantly more successful, and enjoyed the idea of streaming more. This video is literally the "lightbulb" video in RUclips Tutorial Hell lol
I know everyone is saying already but a lot of streamers talk shop but you never get to see it. So seeing you actually make it from scratch is a breath of fresh air
Except it is not what its made out to be. It is an already experienced streamer who has the confidence and acting ability to do this. And has friends than can pop in to be the viewers and followers.
@@nobodyimportant7380yes but this is not something we should think abour negitavley. He is still helping a lot of people out there by setting an example so its great! This isnt a dig at you because its just youtube comments. Its just a good thought process if you know what i mean 😊
Same! This week I made solid friends with my 3 to 4 viewers and for the first time in a long time.. I have something to be proud of!! It's like our game campaign is their campaign too- co-op without the co-op :) Now I just need to figure out how to get that to 300 or 400 viewers/friends.. my disabilities have been holding me back but we're meant to be here with you guys! LFM Streamer friends
@@Spunky.Streams I got my first random viewer the other day, they have came back almost every stream, it was awesome, trying to grow further but its rough being 0-1 viewers every day lol
I really didn’t think this would help me because it was 3 years old, I thought it would be outdated, but that was not the case at all this video inspired me so much. Thank you for making this man.
Same. Now I’m almost an affiliate. I’m gonna implement everything he said here so try make the partner grind easier. I should be an affiliate in the next few days. Maybe Saturday or Sunday. Update. Made it to affiliate, 163 followers and a handful of 2 subscribers. My twitch is Musab_301
It’s one thing to hear the advice, but seeing it in action really illustrates how just a few simple setup things and actually trying to engage can make a world of difference. Great job as always @xTwoShoes !!
I genuinely appreciate the content you put out. Ever since I started watching you, I've been putting the things you say into practice and i have definitely been noticing a difference from when I started streaming again (took an unplanned break for awhile) to now! in the course of a month, I went from 1.3 viewers to 2.8 viewers (average that is). Thank you for the work you do Dan!
Could you possible do a video helping people who are awkward with starting and ending streams? or even ways to be better at engaging chat? great video by the way! will probably rewatch this a bunch!
Practice. It mostly comes down to practice for starting and stopping streams. Once you do it enough times it should come more naturally. Being more engaging is also a practice thing. It's mostly about turning what the speaker is saying back to them. Obviously the nuances still stand, but there are other videos on RUclips with people who specialize in conversation coaching.
Probably the most helpful video on this topic I've seen. To see it actually be put into practice makes it that much better to follow along with. Awesome info man, gonna use these tips for sure.
You did a very good job on this video, thanks. And yes, the most engagement on my streams happened in just chatting moments. Love the vibe and the energy.
I envy your ability to just talk. I find that the most difficult thing, I'm generally a very quiet person but this video has inspired me to try to converse more.
This is some of the best advise and really breaks down almost everything you need to know/do to improve. My biggest struggle is finding things to constantly talk about instead of just getting lost in the game and running out of things to say 😅
Just completed the video! Really awesome stuff! This covers stuff I’ve been trying to tell my buds who just think I play video games and let people watch. That doesn’t understand the effort that goes in! Thanks so much for this! This did make me think again about my tags. I will revisit that! Again great video!!
This video is amazing! And major props to you for managing to put on the poor attitude and little/no talking. ESPECIALLY when someone in chat started, well, chatting. It would kill me to do something like that. One of my absolute favorite things about streaming is talking to chat, asking people how they're doing, reacting to comments and observations. I do still need to improve on just talking while playing or drawing when no one is actively talkative, but I'm definitely better at it than I had been when I first started and it has made a WORLD of difference. I really like to do voice acting and something I've found is that having different Voice channel point rewards really helps with getting me to talk, since I have to in order to do the voice so their channel points don't go to waste. It gets me talking, and is a fun little thing for my chat to hear and interact with!
It certainly was hard haha. I did tell them at the end that it was a joke:) For sure, coming up with unique ideas to get people talking is a great idea:)
Fantastic work! To see this in practice is so valuable to aspiring content creators and you can tell that you worked very hard on it. Thank you so much!
Hey it’s Bones 👋🏼:) I always find myself revisiting so many videos even after I’ve learned the things you’ve taught, tbh they are just entertaining and I always pick up things I’ve either forgotten or haven’t picked up the first time, keep up these videos Dan!!!! They are freaking amazing
Finally someone who has made a very educational video!Not just saying do this, do that, at least you show it in practice! You also show many different examples from practice, which was very clear! Lately I've been messing around with entertaining my chat. I was never able to get a decent picture of it, but this helped me get started even better. Previously, I simply responded to my messages and asked a closed question. I recently started practicing telling certain stories in my gameplay and it's working great so far. I would like to sincerely thank you for making this video, it has given me a lot of motivation.
Damn Dany, this video was just the motivation that I needed. Im struggling with some of the details you exposed here, like keeping my self talking during the whole stream, plus the tags which I really dont know which I should be using. I also think I might have messed up with the overlays I built into my stream, might be a bit too much. I've gotten praise for it a couple times but, I just am not sure if I like it haha again, thanks for the motivation shot!
Kinda puts things into perspective. I know this is old as fuck, but recently discovered you. I would say I'm relatively new to streaming. Seeing it done right really is eye opening.
Holy Molly! I started streaming about 2 weeks ago, and even before I started streaming I've done my research and preparations (A logo, three panels, and a banner). I'm not doing bad at all. I've got a couple of regulars, and Tarkov does some of the discoverability for me. But I'm still not talkative cuz I'm just a very introverted person by nature. That's what I'm gonna work on. Thanks for a demo, dude! This is some good info for new streamers right here
This was a great video, I feel like big streamers should do this more often to remind themselves what it was like to start over. Got some great tips from this 👌
This video is chok full of great advice, from top to bottom. Listen to what this guy says. He is spot on here. A note on "being engaged" and having fun; if you aren’t "feeling it" during a stream, don't be a stubborn mule. Tell your audience that you're just not "there" at the moment and graciously end your stream. Your viewers WILL APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARENCY!! Basically, be professional about your streams. If you want to succeed, you need to act like a pro. No, wait, don't ACT like a pro, BE a professional. Viewers can smell the BS from a mile off.
I just implemented some of your advice and gotta say Thanks bro for making this content. For the first time today I had an active chat and gained some followers. I appreciate that your out here helping all of us grow.
22:22 If that guy was like me, they might have been there lurking for a few mins until they decided: Yes, this streamer is worthy of starting a conversation with.
crazy, im doing the "good streams" part and getting the "bad streams" results. the only thing im not doing is "engaging with chat", cuz there is no one chatting
I came back to this video just to reminisce on the dawn of StankyPete who is a cool guy and a friend and only in the age of the internet could you meet someone from from a youtube video from a good twitch streamer pretending to be a bad twitch streamer
Older video. I know but still relevant. I actually started out like this and it was absolutely the same outcome. But I learned more as I kept going. This is one of the most important things a new streamer can learn! Amazing information.
this helps a lot more than people telling you what’s best to do. can clearly see the results. watching you explain helps make a lot more sense! thanks!!
This is the perfect kind of video I was looking for. People always make videos giving verbal tips on how to improve your twitch streams, but visuals and examples like this are super helpful!! Thank you!
Hey man I just wanted to say I really appreciated this video, I recently just started my streaming journey on twitch a couple of days ago and this video has helped me identify so many mistakes I been making already. Thank you again, SeoHowt😂
To have gotten to the point with your online presence that you can pull off playing as beginner, mid teir, and pro streamer is awesome. I hope one day my online presence comes off professional. I've just started streaming and am forcing myself to talk until I become comfortable 😂
This really puts me off and makes me question if streaming is even for me. I don't wanna have a webcam, but I also feel quite a disconnect when streaming since no one can see reactions etc. but then I think back at why I started streaming in the first place and then I realized that it's about me having fun and not really about growing or anything like that. Sometimes you just gotta take a step back and realize why you're doing what you do, that's how I got my groove and enjoyment back :)
100% agree! Streaming is what you make it! And that was part of point of the “bad” stream was to highlight someone who clearly isn’t having any fun and sees streaming as a chore. You do you and have as good of a time as you can:)
@@xTwoShoes reminds me of someone I saw in a discord asking for "good games to stream", and basically turns out he was streaming as a chore. I was kinda blunt with him but ended up bringing him back to his senses, why worry about a game being "streamable" if you won't enjoy it? I mean sure, you could try looking at games that you enjoy AND are streamable (best case) but enjoyment always comes first. Oh and thanks for this amazing comparison, I really liked seeing the difference between a good and bad stream, and just how little effort is actually required to have a good overlay nowadays (many online tools etc)
I really appreciate this vid! And damn. those viewers that actually watch people with 10-0 viewers are worth their weight in gold. I have never searched for streams like that myself but I appreciate all viewers that just drop by :D
This Video is so good idk why but i keep coming back to watch it all the time. It's funny, it's informative. One of the best Videos I've ever watched 👍
As a newbie streamer that has streamed on and off since 2016 your video was super helpful to watch! I've tired to keep to it this year, but I've noticed some issues I've never realized in your "bad" streams that I am more aware of and plan on fixing in the future. Again thank you for making this amazing video on how to improve the overall vibe of the stream!
This video just got recommended to me and there were a lot of great tips here. The self promo in another stream and the "no backseating" killed me 😭 Great video ❤
I knew what i needed to do to get my twitch channel ready, but i didn't have the motivation to do it. This finally gave me the motivation to spruce up my channel! Thanks for the video really well done!
I know I’m two years late but as a new streamer I was watching a lot of of videos of how to get better and try to grow. Your videos helped a lot! To the point that I I’ve hit affiliate just one month of streaming with an average viewers being between 3-5.
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and helped me add more to my channel. Especially the panels as I only ever had sound alerts and that was all. Now I don't have cram everything in the BIO section and it looks significantly better and cleaner overall. I appreciate the help this video has gave me. Amazing work!!!!
This video was great! I feel like it really helped show what new streamers can do better to be more entertaining and just a better streamer in general. Nice job 😁👍
That was amazing video! Enjoyed it a lot! I am currently just starting to stream, mostly as hobie. The tips you gave in this video were very enlightening, thanks for that! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the comparison! I've recently started streaming and have been looking up guides and tutorials left and right. It's amazing what just a little bit more effort can do for the stream! I'm definitely gonna try to become a better conversationalist. I feel like multi-tasking gaming and chatting is such a hard skill to pick-up, especially when you're deep in it!
This was genuinely so helpful, especially the part about actively interacting and talking with your viewers. There's so much advice out there about the technicalities and how to get more viewers by making a youtube etc, but not that much about just being an actually good streamer. It's especially hard for me to find good advice because I'm an art streamer and almost everyone talks about gaming streams. I feel like it's even harder to keep talking when doing art because drawing takes a lot of time and can be a bit slow for a twitch stream. What I've seen from my favorite art streamers is that again, you don't just sit there to watch them draw, they always talk to you about literally anything which keeps you engaged with the stream. I first fell into the "just draw with background music and the occasional reply to chat" at first and man the streams felt so long. Then I started to push myself to always be saying something and the chat was so alive!! There were new messages like every 10 seconds at 5 viewers. It was genuinely so much more enjoyable. Always talking about anything is still a skill I have to improve of course and it is quite hard to master but it's truly what gives the essemce of your stream. Of course your art needs to be good but without the constant interaction people will get bored and click off.
I've got a million things to say but I'll just point out the enjoy what you're doing bit you mentioned. I've been streaming since 2014 and 50% of my chat is the streamelements bot and the other 50 is myself. But when I streamed Ghostwire Tokyo, a game I was genuinely hyped to play, I got 10 viewers which for me is insane. I Completely zoned out and I was thinking out loud the whole 6 hour stream talking to myself. The only moment when I noticed that I had viewers was when a donation notification went off and it made me look at chat. People were spamming and commenting, it was incredible. Now I'm back at 1 or 2 viewers if I'm lucky but yeah thought I'd share. That is a real thing you said.
So glad I found your page! Plenty of streamers out there talk but show nothing, your channel is sooooo different in that aspect! Lots of info but worth while watching more than once. Will now take the education and go sort my stuff out, then let the shenanigans begin
Whenever I stream I always get so happy to see people get into the chat. we always talk about so many things, so much that a stream ment to be 2 hours ended up being 4 hours! Thx to ur tips I grew 35 followers in a month Wich is insane since I just wanted to stream for fun and wanted to make people happy
Ok, this was a really cool video!! Great idea and very well made! Would be interesting to see where "bad" & "good" seohowt are 6 months from now, stats wise... But I think we already know the answer to that... :D
This is fantastic!! I see the hard work that you put into making this!! I have been working hard on my talky talk and I am finally starting to see some streams hit double digits for average viewers (made me so happy I could cry). I appreciate the advice you give in streams and on these vids.
no way i'm starting streaming and this came up in my recommended no way! Unironically your "bad streamer" is *scarily* close to what I found myself doing so far (I've only streamed 3 days). Not the lack of enthusiasm or not talking even when there's no chat, I can do better with my topics, but I do stay yapping. But the lack of effort in the title, panels, etc. I have half a theme pack (like the one in my YT avatar) but I lost most of the images eg stream starting soon, intermission, ending stream, etc. So I'm just using ones I've conjured up in MS paint, granted, they're meant to be humorously bad, but the descriptions and my bio are like one sentence max each. Thanks to you though, I've fixed up the descriptions and I'm ready for my next stream tomorrow!
Just the video I was looking for! Awesome stuff! Got quite a few new ideas from it. First time I stumbled upon your channel so a like and follow was a nobrainer.
This is really good. I had been streaming for a while and did have crowds around 20 views at some points. Although been off the air for over a year +, even this advice will be helpful for me considering a comeback and hitting the ground running.
This was a fun experiment to watch through. Just proves that you need to be ready to self critique and sometimes rethink what you are doing to make your streams better. Looking forward to the next video
Just watching this in 2024. Been streaming for 3 years not much growth.I’m gonna try these tips for good streams. Such as just chatting before playing, laying out the plan/goals also ending the stream with an actual sign off and not saying bye and ending it.
Glad i came across this vid man, I just started streaming and I wasn’t engaging enough with my chat, especially when no ones watching so these tips was very helpful thank you!!!🙏🏾
Did my very first stream last Friday!….had 6 viewers…my Twitch account was totally basic…for next Friday I’ll be using your tips and tricks…signed up just now with placeit…hopefully I’ll find some good designs 😎
It's easy to say do this and that but starting out it is not this easy, you may not have a great camera, you likely won't have a $800 plus audio setup. I started with a $30 headset that was trash and a 720p old lifecam cinema webcam. Didn't have any knowledge on anything and learned bit by bit. Nothing will happen in 2 days! But if you put time and effort into learning the tools of the craft and upgrade here and there over time you'll get there. Im seeing a lot of bigger RUclipsrs/streamers making it look so easy but the fact is they have experience, for most of us this stuff is new and we are still crawling.
This video has shown me the true importance of having a quality twitch channel. I've been grinding the same game for 4 yrs and could not seem to figure it out. Going to give this a shot and see what happens!

this helps a lot more than people telling you what’s best to do. can clearly see the results. watching you explain helps make a lot more sense! thanks!!
Glad to help! Thanks bud!
This is the perfect kind of video I was looking for. People always make videos giving verbal tips on how to improve your twitch streams, but visuals and examples like this are super helpful!! Thank you!
Hey man I just wanted to say I really appreciated this video, I recently just started my streaming journey on twitch a couple of days ago and this video has helped me identify so many mistakes I been making already. Thank you again, SeoHowt😂
Thanks so much!
To have gotten to the point with your online presence that you can pull off playing as beginner, mid teir, and pro streamer is awesome. I hope one day my online presence comes off professional. I've just started streaming and am forcing myself to talk until I become comfortable 😂
thanks so much for the pointers. I will apply all of this, seeing your point of view really changed how I'm looking at streaming.
Glad it was helpful!
Honestly thank you for the insight! I am so clueless when it comes to panels and stuff!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Shoutout to deepdrives
A true hero!
This really puts me off and makes me question if streaming is even for me. I don't wanna have a webcam, but I also feel quite a disconnect when streaming since no one can see reactions etc.
but then I think back at why I started streaming in the first place and then I realized that it's about me having fun and not really about growing or anything like that.
Sometimes you just gotta take a step back and realize why you're doing what you do, that's how I got my groove and enjoyment back :)
100% agree! Streaming is what you make it! And that was part of point of the “bad” stream was to highlight someone who clearly isn’t having any fun and sees streaming as a chore. You do you and have as good of a time as you can:)
@@xTwoShoes reminds me of someone I saw in a discord asking for "good games to stream", and basically turns out he was streaming as a chore. I was kinda blunt with him but ended up bringing him back to his senses, why worry about a game being "streamable" if you won't enjoy it? I mean sure, you could try looking at games that you enjoy AND are streamable (best case) but enjoyment always comes first.
Oh and thanks for this amazing comparison, I really liked seeing the difference between a good and bad stream, and just how little effort is actually required to have a good overlay nowadays (many online tools etc)
I started streaming yesterday, got across your video and I found really helpful info here, thanks dude!
Glad it helped!
I really appreciate this vid! And damn. those viewers that actually watch people with 10-0 viewers are worth their weight in gold. I have never searched for streams like that myself but I appreciate all viewers that just drop by :D
This Video is so good idk why but i keep coming back to watch it all the time. It's funny, it's informative. One of the best Videos I've ever watched 👍
Wow, thanks!
I actually had no idea I could do most of this stuff until I saw this. This is going to make my streams SO much better, thank you!
As a newbie streamer that has streamed on and off since 2016 your video was super helpful to watch! I've tired to keep to it this year, but I've noticed some issues I've never realized in your "bad" streams that I am more aware of and plan on fixing in the future. Again thank you for making this amazing video on how to improve the overall vibe of the stream!
Twoshoes is literally built different when it comes to streaming. Loved seeing the whole process from start to finish!
Yooooo thank you dude!
Bri bro this video is awesome. Thank you. As someone who just started out even though this is an older video i still feel like it applies
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much!
This video just got recommended to me and there were a lot of great tips here. The self promo in another stream and the "no backseating" killed me 😭 Great video ❤
Super helpful! Been doing a heap of research while getting ready to start streaming myself. Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
I knew what i needed to do to get my twitch channel ready, but i didn't have the motivation to do it. This finally gave me the motivation to spruce up my channel! Thanks for the video really well done!
Glad I could help!
I know I’m two years late but as a new streamer I was watching a lot of of videos of how to get better and try to grow. Your videos helped a lot! To the point that I I’ve hit affiliate just one month of streaming with an average viewers being between 3-5.
As someone who wants to start streaming and doesn't even know where or how to start, this video is very educational! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and helped me add more to my channel. Especially the panels as I only ever had sound alerts and that was all. Now I don't have cram everything in the BIO section and it looks significantly better and cleaner overall. I appreciate the help this video has gave me. Amazing work!!!!
This video was great! I feel like it really helped show what new streamers can do better to be more entertaining and just a better streamer in general. Nice job 😁👍
Thanks so much!!! Exactly what I was going for!
That was amazing video! Enjoyed it a lot! I am currently just starting to stream, mostly as hobie. The tips you gave in this video were very enlightening, thanks for that! 🔥🔥🔥
Glad I could help! Thanks!
Thank you for the comparison! I've recently started streaming and have been looking up guides and tutorials left and right. It's amazing what just a little bit more effort can do for the stream! I'm definitely gonna try to become a better conversationalist. I feel like multi-tasking gaming and chatting is such a hard skill to pick-up, especially when you're deep in it!
This has been an eye opener for me man great vid
Thank you!
Liked for the singing at like 27:30 or something
Good work killin it
Thank you!!
This was genuinely so helpful, especially the part about actively interacting and talking with your viewers. There's so much advice out there about the technicalities and how to get more viewers by making a youtube etc, but not that much about just being an actually good streamer. It's especially hard for me to find good advice because I'm an art streamer and almost everyone talks about gaming streams. I feel like it's even harder to keep talking when doing art because drawing takes a lot of time and can be a bit slow for a twitch stream. What I've seen from my favorite art streamers is that again, you don't just sit there to watch them draw, they always talk to you about literally anything which keeps you engaged with the stream. I first fell into the "just draw with background music and the occasional reply to chat" at first and man the streams felt so long. Then I started to push myself to always be saying something and the chat was so alive!! There were new messages like every 10 seconds at 5 viewers. It was genuinely so much more enjoyable. Always talking about anything is still a skill I have to improve of course and it is quite hard to master but it's truly what gives the essemce of your stream. Of course your art needs to be good but without the constant interaction people will get bored and click off.
I've got a million things to say but I'll just point out the enjoy what you're doing bit you mentioned. I've been streaming since 2014 and 50% of my chat is the streamelements bot and the other 50 is myself. But when I streamed Ghostwire Tokyo, a game I was genuinely hyped to play, I got 10 viewers which for me is insane. I Completely zoned out and I was thinking out loud the whole 6 hour stream talking to myself. The only moment when I noticed that I had viewers was when a donation notification went off and it made me look at chat. People were spamming and commenting, it was incredible. Now I'm back at 1 or 2 viewers if I'm lucky but yeah thought I'd share. That is a real thing you said.
😮😮😮 thank you so much!!!!!!! I had no idea how to start I freaking love u man!!!! Just subbed now going to check out more !
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate the kind words!
So glad I found your page! Plenty of streamers out there talk but show nothing, your channel is sooooo different in that aspect! Lots of info but worth while watching more than once. Will now take the education and go sort my stuff out, then let the shenanigans begin
Amazing video as always lad. Shout out to StankyPete for being such a cool lad!
Thanks so much homie!! What a lad!
Hey man I was feeling a bit down earlier with a lack of confidence and conflicting thought, but you've given me that spark I needed. Thanks so much.
I just started streaming and dude the back seating hurt my soul lol. this was a very informing video buddy. thank you for this. really appreciate it
Whenever I stream I always get so happy to see people get into the chat. we always talk about so many things, so much that a stream ment to be 2 hours ended up being 4 hours! Thx to ur tips I grew 35 followers in a month Wich is insane since I just wanted to stream for fun and wanted to make people happy
Awesome!! Congrats!!
Ok, this was a really cool video!!
Great idea and very well made! Would be interesting to see where "bad" & "good" seohowt are 6 months from now, stats wise... But I think we already know the answer to that... :D
Thanks so much!! It would be interesting for sure...maybe SeoHowt will become my main! 😂
This is fantastic!! I see the hard work that you put into making this!! I have been working hard on my talky talk and I am finally starting to see some streams hit double digits for average viewers (made me so happy I could cry). I appreciate the advice you give in streams and on these vids.
Thanks so much and congrats on the stream! So cool:)
First time I've been given advice and then shown that same advice in practice. Really great video!
Aww thank you so much!
Very welcome! I dont know how I came across your videos but I'm glad I did!
no way i'm starting streaming and this came up in my recommended no way!
Unironically your "bad streamer" is *scarily* close to what I found myself doing so far (I've only streamed 3 days). Not the lack of enthusiasm or not talking even when there's no chat, I can do better with my topics, but I do stay yapping. But the lack of effort in the title, panels, etc. I have half a theme pack (like the one in my YT avatar) but I lost most of the images eg stream starting soon, intermission, ending stream, etc. So I'm just using ones I've conjured up in MS paint, granted, they're meant to be humorously bad, but the descriptions and my bio are like one sentence max each. Thanks to you though, I've fixed up the descriptions and I'm ready for my next stream tomorrow!
Just the video I was looking for! Awesome stuff! Got quite a few new ideas from it. First time I stumbled upon your channel so a like and follow was a nobrainer.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanx for this man this was extremely valuable. Much appreciated.👍
Thanks!
Definitely going to try this out more! Thank you for the video and value information!
Glad it was helpful!
the fact you set up your about me page is actually more effort than a lot of people i see put in
"God awful terrible logo".... I love that logo it's so cute 😅
This was a very insightful video, I had no idea about the panels on twitch 😂 now I have some editing to do! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
This was so helpful, motivating + entertaining! Thank you so much for the quality content
“Yo dude you winning?”
“Yeah shoot me a follow”
**focuses on game**
See that too many times haha
This is really good. I had been streaming for a while and did have crowds around 20 views at some points. Although been off the air for over a year +, even this advice will be helpful for me considering a comeback and hitting the ground running.
That edit from no glasses to glasses was very subtle but I like it
;)
This was a fun experiment to watch through. Just proves that you need to be ready to self critique and sometimes rethink what you are doing to make your streams better. Looking forward to the next video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Just watching this in 2024. Been streaming for 3 years not much growth.I’m gonna try these tips for good streams. Such as just chatting before playing, laying out the plan/goals also ending the stream with an actual sign off and not saying bye and ending it.
how did it go?
This video has insane value actually streaming for RUclips experiment and succeeding is very encouraging
Thanks!
Amazing. Been at it for 7 years soon and still learned some new tricks. Thanks for this!
Glad i came across this vid man, I just started streaming and I wasn’t engaging enough with my chat, especially when no ones watching so these tips was very helpful thank you!!!🙏🏾
Did my very first stream last Friday!….had 6 viewers…my Twitch account was totally basic…for next Friday I’ll be using your tips and tricks…signed up just now with placeit…hopefully I’ll find some good designs 😎
Nice!
This video was actually extremely helpful! Glad I randomly stumbled upon it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's easy to say do this and that but starting out it is not this easy, you may not have a great camera, you likely won't have a $800 plus audio setup. I started with a $30 headset that was trash and a 720p old lifecam cinema webcam. Didn't have any knowledge on anything and learned bit by bit. Nothing will happen in 2 days! But if you put time and effort into learning the tools of the craft and upgrade here and there over time you'll get there. Im seeing a lot of bigger RUclipsrs/streamers making it look so easy but the fact is they have experience, for most of us this stuff is new and we are still crawling.
This video has shown me the true importance of having a quality twitch channel. I've been grinding the same game for 4 yrs and could not seem to figure it out. Going to give this a shot and see what happens!
