Nice video thank you so much for the advice I will use this for my lifestream you are a truly an amazing guy thank you so much for the help that you’re giving out to everyone I appreciate it a lot
@@sslickzz3574 I've definitely made this mistake, Not even 30 days in. Feeling like the rush to hit affiliate. Now it's taking those steps to build and not rush.
I’m loving these videos, they’re super helpful! The main tip I can think of is definitely: keep viewers engaged, talk to them, and stuff. This is how I got my first viewer to stick around and join my discord server and now I am up to 10 followers which I am very happy with.
A tip that I picked up from my mum that she used in her business (albeit this probably works best for small streamers), is to keep a little notebook on my desk, and if there are regulars that come in, or a new follower that's come in a couple of times, but maybe they mentioned their birthday or a family trip they were taking, etc. I write it down and ask them about their trip, wish them a happy birthday, etc. at the relevant date. I found that it's made people feel 1. really happy that I remembered and care about them as an important and valued member of the community, and 2. more likely to come back because now there's a more personal connection, which I love :) Thanks for another great video!
Since my first day of having an actual streaming schedule, I've applied as many of your tips and pieces of advice to my brand and channel. Now I'm sitting comfortably with nearly 200 followers, 45 subscribers, and around 8-12 average viewers per day..... And I started on December 1st. You and your team are geniuses and I can't thank you guys enough for how you've changed my life, and my outlook on streaming and content creation as a whole. Thank you
Got my notepad ready. Let's do some learning! My tip is turn OFF viewer count. Keeping an eye it will only psych yourself out. Stream the same you would to 3 people as you would 300 people :)
@@orangephoenixmedia I did the same thing! Depending on what streaming Software you are using you should be able to toggle it off. On OBS on the twitch stats you can click the viewerr number and it'll hide it. On the Twitch streaming manager you can hide it as well, or remove it from the dashboard. I don't know about streamlabs, but it should be similar. Hope that helps!
My tip: don’t measure your success by factors you cannot control. Of course follower & sub goals can be something you strive for, but my tip is to focus on what you can control and to take pride in your improvement as a streamer instead of focusing too heavily on the numbers.
Exactly, this is true for anything. It's not about the NUMBERS. It's about what GETS you the numbers. Control that and the numbers will happen on it's own.
My tip is to think whenever a viewer doesnt stay, or you loose viewers, subs or followers, I just say "it was never ment to be", that relationship was never ment to be, it wasnt your fault, it was just never ment to be yenno
This video? Hey, if your self esteem feels better thats you having a better outlook :) These videos don't do anything special, that's all you smashing it!
My advice: find a small thing that makes you a streamer, and not just a guy playing games. Have that talk with a few of the kids I teach. They have hard time figuring out why they cant get viewer. Then I ask what they do, their respons is: "I play minecraft with friends" I ask them if they entertain the chat or have anything to offer them? They goes blank.
The "create a narrative" tip has really helped me recently! One tip I can offer: If there's some dead air, hum a tune or make silly sound effects to go with what you're doing in the game. Whatever you do, don't stop talking. Sometimes it becomes a fun inside joke, like in Subnautica whenever I use my grappling hook I sing the old Spiderman theme song and my chat turned it into a drinking game 😅
My tip: Don't look at others to measures your success or lack thereof. The only way to really measure your success is to compare yourself from today to where you were yesterday.
Double down on Awkwardness and Goofiness. One of my regulars was in chat for community day on her birthday, and I was gonna sing happy birthday for her. Was stopped because of DMCA. So instead I improvised a freestyle birthday rap for her. I don't rap, and it was terrible. Everyone still loved it, and thought it was hilarious. Good luck on all of your journeys!
Another tip is, a lot of streaming tips can be summed up by being a good person. That’s something that you have to figure out on your own time (Reframing self-destructive ways of thinking, etc). Because if you genuinely love what you do and appreciate your viewers, it will show.
My tip is to not be afraid of things that might not happen! I was a bit anxious to get started but once I did I realised how much I enjoyed it and the chance to make someone else laugh or to feel less lonely is mindblowing! Honestly, don’t hold yourself back , you have nothing to lose!!
My tip is to have a clear vision of what you want your stream to be like before you even start. Having a vision and knowing what you want to do helps so much. It helps you pick what type(s) of content you want to make and what kinds of people you want to appeal to and it helps you quickly get involved in the community around that content.
i play a ton of multiple player games so if i have a dead chat, the dead air is filled up with our conversations! its been super helpful. last night i even had my friend stream him and the others play apex to discord, i window captured it and showed that while i went on a food break for 10 mins or so (he knew lol) - that helped a TON with keeping people watching instead of going to a pause screen
These tips actually work. I have people watching in the same country as me and I also have people that are watching my stream very early in the morning in their time consistently. Thank you so much for all of the advice!!!
im still a very small streamer but yesterday i got my first non school friend follower because of game selection. i played resident evil and it seems like thats a good game to get people to check you out. so if you like this game or games like it then you just might find a few people. i also had a bunch of people stopping by but not following but just the fact that everyone is stopping by is a good sign if you cant tell im pretty exited about this. Its the start to my growth
My tip is to be active in chats of other small streamers. That has helped me a lot because we go to each others streams and gets those few inital viewers. Also loved the video! Must have been tricky to think of this many tips! Way to go!
Thanks for the kind words! I think you gain more value learning how those chats interact and change than from people checking you out. Seeing other streams and how their communities work then making notes can be very valuable!
my biggest tip is try your best to remember things about all of your chatters. if they have to leave your stream to go do a soccer game, ask them about it next time they're in chat! just little stuff like that has really boosted the number of true regulars i have.
I'm a beginning VR and sometimes desktop game streamer. My tip for people who want to get into VR while streaming get the right headset and set-up and test it 5 times before you start streaming it can really make sure everything works and you get al the notification
A tip from myself personally, I have been streaming for around 10 months now and I can say is to interact and ask follow up questions when engaging to your audience, this has proven to me that this specific person comes back as I am giving them attention and also my other fellow watchers! :D
Wow, I just stumbled across this via a recommendation, and it makes me even happier - I've done pretty much all of these tips (except the RUclips ones gotta work on that!) and I've found my Twitch channel to be growing steadily. I'm SO glad that the "not streaming" everyday tip came up, because I know so many streamers that burn themselves out by streaming 7 days a week, then look down on me for not doing the same. Streaming everyday PREVENTS your growth. If you're not networking outside of streams, then it's going to cost you in the long run.
Between this, Harris Heller, and Nutty, I've completely turned around my Twitch stream. Really can't thank you enough man! Each channel has their own strengths and this is my go-to for any and all marketing, ideas, tips, and everything in between. I can't recommend you to enough people! I've watched probably 40 of your videos in the last month. At least. Next is to turn my YT around.
I make primarily RUclips content, but you've been immensely helpful in expanding content to streaming. Building a community is essential at lower levels of RUclips, and livestreams are a great way to do that. Thank you for all you do!
Great to hear it! I have a video about RUclips growth as well that might be helpful! I've done Video SEO as a job for a few years now and worked on multiple channels, let me know if it helps as well!
I have found that being active and supportive on other streams creates interest in you as a person. I don't mean go and self promote but chat with others about the stream you are watching.
A tip that i use is i started journaling more and highlighting specific events that I want to talk about in my streams. I jot them down in my iPad and have it beside me when I'm streaming. If there's ever a time where I'm not talking about anything, I will look at my iPad and read out one of the things that had happened to me that week. I have a very bad memory so it helps to just jot my whole life down LOL. Another quick tip is I learned how to be more descriptive with my words, like how you would when you had a word count on your school essays.
My main tip is that gear doesn't really matter when you start out. I started streaming on a gaming laptop and with my headset mic, I still use them both today but will be upgrading to a pc this summer. I got affiliate in 3 months of streaming a couple days a week. That, and consistency really is key. I hit my 50 followers and got affiliate in March 2018, life got busy and I made excuses to stop streaming (though at one point I wasn't able to stream at all due to poor internet) its only the past few months I've gotten consistent again and started gaining 1 to 3 new followers every stream. Though again iys just my luck that once I'm finally consistent that my laptop fans give out on me and im stuck unable to use my laptop at all for 2 to 3 weeks while I wait for replacement parts. In the meantime I found your videos and im just itching even more to get back to streaming and to implement these tips! I love how you dont just use the same old tips everyone hears all the time, you have examples and you can tell that you genuinely care about this topic. Keep it up! You've earned my sub and I cant wait for new content.
for someone who is completely new to everything pc/tech to stream related things, these videos have been super helpful! I wanted to say thank you! I feel much better starting my streaming journey:)
man your videos, no lie, have helped me grow in the last 3-4 weeks. already hit affiliate an averaging around 10 viewers a stream! Also, my chat interaction streams have become the most fun. Honestly can't thank you enough!
Laughter is both contagious and good medicine, I will stick around longer in a stream where they are smiling and laughing as opposed to blank or rbf. Also, us neurodivergent types have the bonus of being used to talking to ourselves, explaining why we are doing what we are doing, cracking jokes into thin air, and just carrying a completely one sided convo when there's no one to chat with lol
Dude I love all of your videos I’ve taken everything to heart started last week 4th stream and already 20 follows with average of 3 viewers! Can’t wait to hit affiliate and grow with all you twitch streamers out here ☺️
@@StreamScheme thanks man I really appreciate it can’t wait for more videos I’ll make sure to share with my friends and followers that want to grow on twitch 😁
Something that I figured out for both recording and streaming was do not procrastinate. I waited for various reasons to either stream or record content and I used those reasons as excuses not to and as a result, it took a while for me to get started. Such excuses included me thinking my voice was lame. Ty again for your videos.
Was able to launch my first stream because I binged all of your educational videos. Also the Cherry Blossom overlay was a big hit with chat. It really went well with the pokemon nuzlock. Thanks man I appreciate you and everything you do!!!!
Tip from me is to make a system before you go live, something simple like making sure your volume is on, check the game is updated, check that the webcam is fine. It can stop a muted stream, instill confidence that your ready and stop a weird time fill when you are waiting on an update. I brought it in when i learned the hard way lol.
Hey, just wanted to say thank you so much for all the support I started on RUclips years ago and moved over to twitch around a week ago so its been amazing seeing all the videos and all the help that you have provided. Also a tip for people seeing this is when you realize you aren't talking and that its been a little bit since you've spoke just say random things that come on your mind. This way if someone is in your chat they can/will reply, conversations will start and inside jokes can be made!
Take 10-20 minutes out of your day to participate in other communities, be it on discord, Twitter, WhatsApp etc. The more active you are in other communities the more willing people from said communities will be to watch or review your stream or video when it’s time. ⚠️Do not link dump⚠️
The biggest takeaway is you’ll also learn a lot about how communities grow, rather than hoping they come watch it’s more of a “oh neat this is what people do”
Something that helped my audio quality: Eliminate the echo you create when speaking, I put a blanket on the wall in front of me when speaking and it worked wonders.
My Tip would have to be to play something you enjoy and that you really care about. Chat will know if you're having fun or not and that energy will lead to chat having the same energy as you. Find a game that has decent discoverability that you really enjoy and go for it!
I couldn’t agree more! I know it’s extremely obvious when someone is playing a game to only grow viewers. It’s really obvious and it makes it less fun to watch.
My best tip for people that wanna do Twitch and wanna take the build off the platform method is to plan ahead. In approxamitly half a year or so im planning on starting to stream but I've started planning out since the beginning of 2020. I've made a dedicated instagram, a dedicated youtube channel (not this one), and planned out weeks worth of content. I've done this to ease the future pressure I will have from school and work. I know a lot of us are trying to balance streaming and school and I would say the best way to start is by getting the professional look right from the start even if you have a low viewer count. Because honestly I would rather watch a professional looking stream with links to all socials, overlays, alerts etc. Then watch someone without overlays but that's just me. In summary: 1. Plan ahead 2. Get those overlays 3. Make other social media accounts, Twitter, Reddit (especially Reddit), Instagram etc....
You kind sir, are building a wonderful and positive community here! My tip: Learn from your mistakes, after a stream I take time to look over what I did right and wrong and how to improve and make a positive vibe that multiple viewers enjoy.
I actually stream on a different platform named Spoon but still 90% of your tips help and now for my tip is don't over edit and what I mean by this is don't edit your thumbnail to much to the point where it just looks cluttered
My tip is keep searching and studying technics for your stream! I have started making streams now, and seeing videos and reading things about streaming keep my engaged!
My tip would be to keep a physical bullet journal or notebook where to write what you're gonna stream in the next days, to have some general input of what you're trying to achieve and talk about that day :> Of this video the most useful tips for me were the ones on the community building part, I don't think I'll have trouble coming up with goals and how to get them, but I still find a bit hard to believe the idea that someone would actually watch me and talk with me xD as you said numbers are people, and thinking of someone actually sitting in front of their pc/phone and choosing to spend their time with me makes me a bit nervous haha
I hit my affiliate goals last night after less than two weeks of steaming! It wouldnt have happened without the genuine advice and encouragement from eljay and the stream scheme team. Put this advice to work for you and you will find success!
My tip is to have fun. I only started streaming in November. I watched and played with other streamers and build friendships with them that they raided me and i got affiliate very quick maybe before i was ready Im planning the streams for next year using all the tips from these vids. Now to setup a youtube what was that vid i needed to check out again lol
Yeah. I'm hoping that when I start my mc server with some of the people in eljayem's discord, then it will help me grow and have fun a lot more. Still waiting to see though.
@@crimson9641 I really think the MC server play at the size you and everyone else is won't help you grow honestly. You're also all VERY different streamers so your content most likely won't mesh perfectly. If you're doing the server for fun, go for it, if its for growth I'd say it won't work too great. I would've mentioned it sooner but I didn't realise it was a growth tactic.
I started streaming and creating recently. I definitely saved money by utilizing my Rockband USB microphone, and used my old ps4 cam holder to hold my mic. Definitely a difference in audio quality. My tip is to fine tune and check and recheck your own footage, and research keywords before you publish a video to see where your video appears compared to others in the same topic.
@@Hi-sc1zs just try to experiment different games that people enjoy you streaming. There isn't a best game. All you need is to find the genre your chat wants to see
A tip that helped me was to find a group of people that I fit in well with and had the same experience with streaming as me and we all supported and grew with each other
I love the videos that you do. The only my tip I can think of consider starting a twitch account with a friend who has similar interests in starting their own twitch journey. You both help motivate each other and it feels like a bigger community.
Straight up, use a ducker on any audio that isn’t your voice. To set up a ducker, add a compressor to a source as a filter then side chain it to your mic. With proper settings, it will “duck” the audio down by a couple db anytime your voice is coming over the mic. That way, your voice is always forefront in your audience’s ear.
How can I improve talking to an empty stream? A lot of the time no one is in my stream but ik I get a lot of views after my stream is done and in my library so any tips on talking to an empty stream would help!
You most likely aren't getting views on your VoDs on your stream, the views on the vods are calculated by how many individual accounts went through your stream in 10 minute intervals, so if a bot checks the stream, or even if you are logged in yourself it counts the view and adds it to the streams recording on your channel after the fact. I'd say if you want to improve while talking to an empty stream, check out my streaming to 0 viewers video as well as planning out content, plan out stories, jokes, talking points, etc!
Your videos have been helping me out recently with my channel. Ive become an affiliate last summer and just past 100 followers before the new year. Idk how people get all them viewers so quickly but I try not to worry about it and have fun.
So whenever I start my stream, about 2 minutes later I get like 10 new viewers and then it goes back down to 3-4. I am doing all of the chat engaging things and I have a good stream setup. How do I get those people to stay on the stream for a little bit?
My number 1 twitch tip. Always have a eye catching overlay. If people see you in the twitch game category, with your shine new overlay, the they are more likely to click you.
Some you might've heard already if you watch the channel hahaha It's a wrap up with as many as I could think of while recording! It's why I start at 62ish then say 64ish but its actually 65 hahahaha
@@StreamScheme hahahah i noticed that but it's all good stuff. and hearing it again just means it might stick a little more. which is important because sometimes our skulls are pretty thick and our egos a bit impenetrable.
This has helped a load. Thanks. I think the most important ting for me is to remember different users. Ask questions and be engaged and try to not have dead air.
I stopped doing that after hitting affiliate. I used to have Stream Manager open in the browser while streaming and checking off and on, look at viewer count and if the stream was shown fluently there. Now, I keep it off and I don't know how many people were watching until I get the summary later.
One friend passed this tip on to me and I think its a good one to pass on but she always remembers one thing about a person that way when and if they come back she will ask about that subject and its a nice engagement thing
Merry Christmas and a happy new year dude. I would recommend not to pursue streaming if you are studying a degree. Your schedule goes down the toilet when deadlines and exams get closer.
I've been following your videos bro. Your help has actually been unique and straight forward. I don't like when people try to sugar coat their tips. Your just chatting tip on the other video had me at the most viewers this month. I can't thank you enough
I started watching your videos and said fuck it I'm going to do more. I rewrote my schedule, re worked some over scenes, started making funny titles(which really helped) Your tips really are helping and its making me consider going back to school for marketing. Thank you so much for the effort you've put out for us.
A tip I've found to be very useful is raiding on twitch. I'm not sure if it works in the same way on youtube, but raiding is a pretty nice way of putting yourself out there. It's mutually beneficial as the streamer you raid gets exposure to your community, and you are exposed to their community. Sometimes people follow you from raids and end up coming to your stream too. I feel as though it's definitely a way to network, promote yourself and others, without having that 'hey check me out' annoying tone, which (rightfully so) a lot of people do not appreciate. Take some time to find a nice community to raid and overtime, it'll show results :D. Good luck!
Gosh I do need to raid more! I really struggle to raid due to having a lot of anxiety and some raid experiences in the past! Glad to hear you've had good raids though!
I must say. Your RUclips channel is my favorite channel for streaming tips. You have a very positive (‘glass half full’) mindset and you’re good at explaining things in a way that makes sense. You may have only 17k subs but your videos mean the world to me.
Thank you for the video! A bit late but my tip would be, constantly improve what you are doing. Every time you hit that live button it should be better then the last time. There is always something you can do to improve!
Bro I just took so many notes oh my. My tip is to smile. That’s it. If you’re not smiling and laughing, you’re not having a good time. It’s all about enjoying it.
I love all the tips man, but where i differ, I've been streaming every night for the past few months, i stream for about 2-3 hours each night and ive been going so well on it, thanks so much for the tips man, you deserve alot more recognition
Hey Stream Scheme, thanks for replying man, i really appreciate it, My twitch name is ItzRektifyed, but please dont feel you have to check my stream out bro, i appreciate the tips and im here for your content man :)
Don't get discouraged. Fact of the matter is when you look at most of the biggest streamers. They've been working on their community for 4+ years. Some its taken even longer. So I'd say stay stubborn and keep Making content you enjoy
My tip is that growth/improvement isn’t linear. Even if you can’t find ways to grow as a content creator, focus on what you already are doing and make that the best it can be. In fact, best way to improve at something is to not overthink it.
I stream a lot of Persona 5 Royal (a JRPG that has a lot of lines from the characters that are read-only) and I read the lines out loud, sometimes in funny voices that sound nothing like the character is meant to sound. It really entertains my viewers, and I went from 1 viewer to 11 concurrent viewers within a few minutes just from doing this!
If you wanna stream, I suggest getting a set of LEDs. It just makes the light and the whole aesthetic of the stream 1000% better, plus we as humans like watching things appealing to the eye. So pick yourself a pack of LEDs. I suggest the Monster LEDs.
Tips: Save giveaways for when your affiliate and only do them at certain milestones, if you can make them followers and/or subscribers only do that, my first giveaway ended with several people unfollowing me cuz they lost, but the winner and some of the others who entered stayed. Also adjust your audio on your mic and ask the viewers if you sound good they have to listen to you so they are the best feedback. And if you can adjust your alerts and overlays on the game your streaming have them match if you can, I do this so things match up well though I think its my OCD. However I'm still trying to figure out what to do for RUclips
@@StreamScheme I'll have to watch it, I know I wanted to music on the channel as well as gaming content but I choke up when recording some for RUclips, when I stream I'm fine no nerves but recording for RUclips so much different
Awesome video as always, you have really helped me out with learning some of the ropes! My tip would be "Just be yourself! People want to see the real you, and trying to keep up a character when streaming all the time will be extremely draining and people will be able to tell you are not being genuine."
Be live when your be live notification hits. I hate nothing more than getting a notification that you’re live, and I click the alert and see a 10 minute countdown video. I only have like 3 people I get notifications on, and that’s because they’re live when I get it. I start every stream with a 5-7 minute speech where I talk about what game I am playing. What have we done so far, what do we hope to accomplish today, and general overall thoughts on the game are. I also welcome in people, etc. not saying it helps my RUclips VODS, but it helps me at least put together my talking points for the stream.
This is more for the art streaming community but one of my tips is don’t be afraid to showcase other artists. Like if you’re asking “what are you working on” and someone says they’re doing a drawing, invite them to send a link in DMs or in chat (if you allow links) and show it off. It can get a little harder to do when you’ve grown so maybe save it for raids or maybe a channel point redeem. For me, it helps build the community and make new friends!
Another good one. Alot of information to digest so I may have to watch this one a few times. I stopped at number 15 to take notes. For real man, I think this is THE best channel as I've learned things on this one that I have NOT on others.
I am a beginner affiliate streamer and I am a bit confused at points but your videos help me so much! I hope to grow and learn from each one I watch. Thank you so much, I couldn't say it enough.
Hey dude I had my first stream the other day and using about 10 of your tips I got a top of 5 viewers! It isn’t a lot but for a beginner I personally think it’s amazing! Thanks so much. You’re the best with tips :D
i followed and took alot from these tips and now i sit with 8-12 average viewers a stream and 56 followers! in the span of 3 weeks aswell! road to partner aswell! thanks a ton dude :)
Loving the content man! I had no idea there were websites that could let you use more emotes! As for tip, here’s one I’ve learned: use games like “Marbles on Stream” or “One Troll Army” on steam to give your chat something to look forward to and do in game! The two I mentioned are FREE on steam and link to your Twitch. Super fun to play and chat while doing a “Chat vs Me” game night

@@sslickzz3574 I've definitely made this mistake, Not even 30 days in. Feeling like the rush to hit affiliate. Now it's taking those steps to build and not rush.
I’m loving these videos, they’re super helpful! The main tip I can think of is definitely: keep viewers engaged, talk to them, and stuff. This is how I got my first viewer to stick around and join my discord server and now I am up to 10 followers which I am very happy with.
Quick tip: never give up even when times that you have no viewers keep pushing on and stay interesting.
Tip#2 : never let down
@@Swrdom tip#3 never run around and desert it
I've seen my viewers saying "I gtg" but I have no reaction for that, it's just my mood right now.
I just stream cus I want to lol I don't even do anything
@@SarnaiViola same
A tip that I picked up from my mum that she used in her business (albeit this probably works best for small streamers), is to keep a little notebook on my desk, and if there are regulars that come in, or a new follower that's come in a couple of times, but maybe they mentioned their birthday or a family trip they were taking, etc. I write it down and ask them about their trip, wish them a happy birthday, etc. at the relevant date.
I found that it's made people feel 1. really happy that I remembered and care about them as an important and valued member of the community, and 2. more likely to come back because now there's a more personal connection, which I love :) Thanks for another great video!
Absolutely! Remembering as many people as possible goes such a long way to connecting with people!
That's a really good tip im not streaming or doing it yet but this would be a good method to keep the convo going and keep a small community
I do that and i didn't even noticed, I have a bad shot length memory so I always take notes of everything. It is a really good tip.
Since my first day of having an actual streaming schedule, I've applied as many of your tips and pieces of advice to my brand and channel. Now I'm sitting comfortably with nearly 200 followers, 45 subscribers, and around 8-12 average viewers per day..... And I started on December 1st. You and your team are geniuses and I can't thank you guys enough for how you've changed my life, and my outlook on streaming and content creation as a whole. Thank you
You’re smashing it mate! Keep up the hard work! Seriously great stuff!
@@StreamScheme Thanks man! I hope your stream is going well also! :D
well damn son
Bruh, that’s crazy!
That subscriber to follower ratio is phenomenal. Keep up the great work!!!
Got my notepad ready. Let's do some learning!
My tip is turn OFF viewer count. Keeping an eye it will only psych yourself out. Stream the same you would to 3 people as you would 300 people :)
Damn! I forgot to add that one! hahaha I mention it all the time but just completely forgot! Always saving the day Walfie!
I do this! The stress is gone for count and I solely focus on chat and the game. Also, I celebrate each follow so hard XD
@@AbsurdParrot_ yessss! Each follow is cause for celebration! I understand all too well
How do you eliminate the viewer count? I do stare at it sometimes
@@orangephoenixmedia I did the same thing!
Depending on what streaming Software you are using you should be able to toggle it off. On OBS on the twitch stats you can click the viewerr number and it'll hide it. On the Twitch streaming manager you can hide it as well, or remove it from the dashboard. I don't know about streamlabs, but it should be similar.
Hope that helps!
My tip: don’t measure your success by factors you cannot control.
Of course follower & sub goals can be something you strive for, but my tip is to focus on what you can control and to take pride in your improvement as a streamer instead of focusing too heavily on the numbers.
Absolutely! This! I have to reply to almost EVERY person commenting their goals on the videos talking about measurable smart goals! Thank you!
Exactly, this is true for anything. It's not about the NUMBERS. It's about what GETS you the numbers. Control that and the numbers will happen on it's own.
My tip is to think whenever a viewer doesnt stay, or you loose viewers, subs or followers, I just say "it was never ment to be", that relationship was never ment to be, it wasnt your fault, it was just never ment to be yenno
This has somehow helped my self esteem even more than streaming related stuff
This video? Hey, if your self esteem feels better thats you having a better outlook :) These videos don't do anything special, that's all you smashing it!
My self esteem has really grow since I started streaming, I just more confidence!
@@offshoretl8308 my self esteem varies depending on my viewer count. I know it shouldn't but I can't really help it
@Chance Cass I both love and hate the internet...
My advice: find a small thing that makes you a streamer, and not just a guy playing games.
Have that talk with a few of the kids I teach. They have hard time figuring out why they cant get viewer. Then I ask what they do, their respons is: "I play minecraft with friends" I ask them if they entertain the chat or have anything to offer them? They goes blank.
Absolutely! I constantly have to tell people that being a gamer is different to being a content creator!
The "create a narrative" tip has really helped me recently! One tip I can offer: If there's some dead air, hum a tune or make silly sound effects to go with what you're doing in the game. Whatever you do, don't stop talking. Sometimes it becomes a fun inside joke, like in Subnautica whenever I use my grappling hook I sing the old Spiderman theme song and my chat turned it into a drinking game 😅
THIS! 100% this is how you do it! Keep up the hard work! Love hearing it!
This is a good tip. I've been doing it subtly, but haven't been thinking about this. Thanks
I am using this tip thank you!!
Same I have been scripting my content now I have a gameplan if it doesn't work I would adjust easier
YEESS i hum the mii tune from the wii when im waiting for something to load if my chat or friends im playing with aren’t talking lol
My tip: Don't look at others to measures your success or lack thereof.
The only way to really measure your success is to compare yourself from today to where you were yesterday.
Absolutely! :)
THIS!
Double down on Awkwardness and Goofiness. One of my regulars was in chat for community day on her birthday, and I was gonna sing happy birthday for her. Was stopped because of DMCA. So instead I improvised a freestyle birthday rap for her. I don't rap, and it was terrible. Everyone still loved it, and thought it was hilarious. Good luck on all of your journeys!
You can still sing happy birthday, you just can't use the backing track.
And absolutely just play to your style :)
Another tip is, a lot of streaming tips can be summed up by being a good person. That’s something that you have to figure out on your own time (Reframing self-destructive ways of thinking, etc). Because if you genuinely love what you do and appreciate your viewers, it will show.
Very true! Keeping it positive and being the best you can be! Loving your comments!
My tip is to not be afraid of things that might not happen! I was a bit anxious to get started but once I did I realised how much I enjoyed it and the chance to make someone else laugh or to feel less lonely is mindblowing! Honestly, don’t hold yourself back , you have nothing to lose!!
Absolutely! Great tip mate!
My tip is to have a clear vision of what you want your stream to be like before you even start. Having a vision and knowing what you want to do helps so much. It helps you pick what type(s) of content you want to make and what kinds of people you want to appeal to and it helps you quickly get involved in the community around that content.
i play a ton of multiple player games so if i have a dead chat, the dead air is filled up with our conversations! its been super helpful. last night i even had my friend stream him and the others play apex to discord, i window captured it and showed that while i went on a food break for 10 mins or so (he knew lol) - that helped a TON with keeping people watching instead of going to a pause screen
These tips actually work. I have people watching in the same country as me and I also have people that are watching my stream very early in the morning in their time consistently. Thank you so much for all of the advice!!!
Smashing it man! Keep up the hard work!
im still a very small streamer but yesterday i got my first non school friend follower because of game selection. i played resident evil and it seems like thats a good game to get people to check you out. so if you like this game or games like it then you just might find a few people. i also had a bunch of people stopping by but not following but just the fact that everyone is stopping by is a good sign
if you cant tell im pretty exited about this. Its the start to my growth
Starting out is an exciting time! Good luck! Enjoy it!
My tip is to be active in chats of other small streamers. That has helped me a lot because we go to each others streams and gets those few inital viewers. Also loved the video! Must have been tricky to think of this many tips! Way to go!
Thanks for the kind words! I think you gain more value learning how those chats interact and change than from people checking you out. Seeing other streams and how their communities work then making notes can be very valuable!
my biggest tip is try your best to remember things about all of your chatters. if they have to leave your stream to go do a soccer game, ask them about it next time they're in chat! just little stuff like that has really boosted the number of true regulars i have.
That personal connection! I love it!
When your feeling down, don't give up, just keep going, play something you really love and turn off your viewer count
I'm a beginning VR and sometimes desktop game streamer. My tip for people who want to get into VR while streaming get the right headset and set-up and test it 5 times before you start streaming it can really make sure everything works and you get al the notification
Actually engaging and communicating with your chat, don't just read a comment you should try talking to the people
Absolutely!
A tip from myself personally, I have been streaming for around 10 months now and I can say is to interact and ask follow up questions when engaging to your audience, this has proven to me that this specific person comes back as I am giving them attention and also my other fellow watchers! :D
My new year resolves to start streaming and to reach at least 50 followers so I've been binging your videos. Thank you for existing.
You got this! Good luck! :)
How is it gping ?
Wow, I just stumbled across this via a recommendation, and it makes me even happier - I've done pretty much all of these tips (except the RUclips ones gotta work on that!) and I've found my Twitch channel to be growing steadily. I'm SO glad that the "not streaming" everyday tip came up, because I know so many streamers that burn themselves out by streaming 7 days a week, then look down on me for not doing the same. Streaming everyday PREVENTS your growth. If you're not networking outside of streams, then it's going to cost you in the long run.
Always raid at the end. Drop 10 bits everywhere you hang out when you can.
Solid advice on the raids! Not sure about the 10 bits, never heard that advice but if it helps it helps!
It’s just something I can do within my control
Between this, Harris Heller, and Nutty, I've completely turned around my Twitch stream. Really can't thank you enough man! Each channel has their own strengths and this is my go-to for any and all marketing, ideas, tips, and everything in between. I can't recommend you to enough people! I've watched probably 40 of your videos in the last month. At least. Next is to turn my YT around.
I make primarily RUclips content, but you've been immensely helpful in expanding content to streaming. Building a community is essential at lower levels of RUclips, and livestreams are a great way to do that. Thank you for all you do!
Great to hear it! I have a video about RUclips growth as well that might be helpful! I've done Video SEO as a job for a few years now and worked on multiple channels, let me know if it helps as well!
I have found that being active and supportive on other streams creates interest in you as a person. I don't mean go and self promote but chat with others about the stream you are watching.
Dude, you ALWAYS manage to come in clutch with these videos. You’re killing it! 👏👏👏
Just glad they help :) Thanks for the kind words though!
A tip that i use is i started journaling more and highlighting specific events that I want to talk about in my streams. I jot them down in my iPad and have it beside me when I'm streaming. If there's ever a time where I'm not talking about anything, I will look at my iPad and read out one of the things that had happened to me that week. I have a very bad memory so it helps to just jot my whole life down LOL. Another quick tip is I learned how to be more descriptive with my words, like how you would when you had a word count on your school essays.
Yes absolutely! I push this so often! It is so gosh darn important!
Honestly these are amazing, I’ve been streaming for two weeks and managed to hit all the criteria for affiliate yesterday!
Nice work! Smashing it!
@@StreamScheme it just took me an hour to fill out the form 😂
@@EKTapstar what games do you Stream and on what console. I've been trying to build a community, but my games aren't getting attention.
@@crimson9641 I am part of a minecraft smp on pc that I stream. But I spent about a week before hand setting up overlays etc
@@EKTapstar k. Thats cool 😎
My main tip is that gear doesn't really matter when you start out. I started streaming on a gaming laptop and with my headset mic, I still use them both today but will be upgrading to a pc this summer. I got affiliate in 3 months of streaming a couple days a week. That, and consistency really is key. I hit my 50 followers and got affiliate in March 2018, life got busy and I made excuses to stop streaming (though at one point I wasn't able to stream at all due to poor internet) its only the past few months I've gotten consistent again and started gaining 1 to 3 new followers every stream. Though again iys just my luck that once I'm finally consistent that my laptop fans give out on me and im stuck unable to use my laptop at all for 2 to 3 weeks while I wait for replacement parts.
In the meantime I found your videos and im just itching even more to get back to streaming and to implement these tips! I love how you dont just use the same old tips everyone hears all the time, you have examples and you can tell that you genuinely care about this topic. Keep it up! You've earned my sub and I cant wait for new content.
Glad the content has been helpful! Sorry to hear about the tech troubles! They can really be the worst!
for someone who is completely new to everything pc/tech to stream related things, these videos have been super helpful! I wanted to say thank you! I feel much better starting my streaming journey:)
Glad I could help! Thanks for the kind words!
man your videos, no lie, have helped me grow in the last 3-4 weeks. already hit affiliate an averaging around 10 viewers a stream! Also, my chat interaction streams have become the most fun. Honestly can't thank you enough!
Great to hear! Keep up the hard work man! Chat interaction is always a blast!
fantastic video. i've binged all your videos and keep coming back to them to study them for Twitch. thankyou for everything!!
Glad to be able to help! Let me know if you need certain topics covered!
Laughter is both contagious and good medicine, I will stick around longer in a stream where they are smiling and laughing as opposed to blank or rbf. Also, us neurodivergent types have the bonus of being used to talking to ourselves, explaining why we are doing what we are doing, cracking jokes into thin air, and just carrying a completely one sided convo when there's no one to chat with lol
Dude I love all of your videos I’ve taken everything to heart started last week 4th stream and already 20 follows with average of 3 viewers! Can’t wait to hit affiliate and grow with all you twitch streamers out here ☺️
Keep up the good work! Glad to hear the videos have helped, it’s your hard work that’s allowed the growth though!
@@StreamScheme thanks man I really appreciate it can’t wait for more videos I’ll make sure to share with my friends and followers that want to grow on twitch 😁
Which advices did you find most useful? Your growth in one week sounds amazing!
Something that I figured out for both recording and streaming was do not procrastinate. I waited for various reasons to either stream or record content and I used those reasons as excuses not to and as a result, it took a while for me to get started. Such excuses included me thinking my voice was lame. Ty again for your videos.
Absolutely! Just jump in and make yourself the best you can be as you go!
Was able to launch my first stream because I binged all of your educational videos. Also the Cherry Blossom overlay was a big hit with chat. It really went well with the pokemon nuzlock. Thanks man I appreciate you and everything you do!!!!
Nice work! I replied to your other comment as well, but keep it up! :)
Tip from me is to make a system before you go live, something simple like making sure your volume is on, check the game is updated, check that the webcam is fine. It can stop a muted stream, instill confidence that your ready and stop a weird time fill when you are waiting on an update. I brought it in when i learned the hard way lol.
A go-live checklist! Crucial! Love it!
tip:watch more of this guys videos they are really helping me
Awww mate! Thank you! hahaha
Hey, just wanted to say thank you so much for all the support I started on RUclips years ago and moved over to twitch around a week ago so its been amazing seeing all the videos and all the help that you have provided. Also a tip for people seeing this is when you realize you aren't talking and that its been a little bit since you've spoke just say random things that come on your mind. This way if someone is in your chat they can/will reply, conversations will start and inside jokes can be made!
Hey just glad to help! Keep up the hard work!
Take 10-20 minutes out of your day to participate in other communities, be it on discord, Twitter, WhatsApp etc. The more active you are in other communities the more willing people from said communities will be to watch or review your stream or video when it’s time. ⚠️Do not link dump⚠️
The biggest takeaway is you’ll also learn a lot about how communities grow, rather than hoping they come watch it’s more of a “oh neat this is what people do”
Thanks for the advice.
@@moh4197 no problem dude! Wishing you success in the future :D
What’s a good community so I can join
Something that helped my audio quality: Eliminate the echo you create when speaking, I put a blanket on the wall in front of me when speaking and it worked wonders.
This and shelves! But also just furniture in general helps catch echos!
My Tip would have to be to play something you enjoy and that you really care about. Chat will know if you're having fun or not and that energy will lead to chat having the same energy as you. Find a game that has decent discoverability that you really enjoy and go for it!
Being positive and enjoying yourself will go A LONG way, especially in a category that is discoverable!
I couldn’t agree more! I know it’s extremely obvious when someone is playing a game to only grow viewers. It’s really obvious and it makes it less fun to watch.
My best tip for people that wanna do Twitch and wanna take the build off the platform method is to plan ahead. In approxamitly half a year or so im planning on starting to stream but I've started planning out since the beginning of 2020. I've made a dedicated instagram, a dedicated youtube channel (not this one), and planned out weeks worth of content.
I've done this to ease the future pressure I will have from school and work. I know a lot of us are trying to balance streaming and school and I would say the best way to start is by getting the professional look right from the start even if you have a low viewer count. Because honestly I would rather watch a professional looking stream with links to all socials, overlays, alerts etc. Then watch someone without overlays but that's just me.
In summary:
1. Plan ahead
2. Get those overlays
3. Make other social media accounts, Twitter, Reddit (especially Reddit), Instagram etc....
I just love the fact that you say 63 at the beginning, wrote 65 and actually got 64. :D
As well great and informative video.
So there are 65! Just the way I said it at the end made it sound like the last tip was 64th hahahaha
You kind sir, are building a wonderful and positive community here! My tip: Learn from your mistakes, after a stream I take time to look over what I did right and wrong and how to improve and make a positive vibe that multiple viewers enjoy.
Reviewing your vod is a great tip! Seriously, it is so important!
I actually stream on a different platform named Spoon but still 90% of your tips help and now for my tip is don't over edit and what I mean by this is don't edit your thumbnail to much to the point where it just looks cluttered
There ya go! Glad it converts to other platforms!
My tip is keep searching and studying technics for your stream! I have started making streams now, and seeing videos and reading things about streaming keep my engaged!
Keep it up! Great advice!
My tip would be to keep a physical bullet journal or notebook where to write what you're gonna stream in the next days, to have some general input of what you're trying to achieve and talk about that day :>
Of this video the most useful tips for me were the ones on the community building part, I don't think I'll have trouble coming up with goals and how to get them, but I still find a bit hard to believe the idea that someone would actually watch me and talk with me xD as you said numbers are people, and thinking of someone actually sitting in front of their pc/phone and choosing to spend their time with me makes me a bit nervous haha
The nerves never go away but they get easier with time and practice :) Absolutely planning out your streams is crucial as well! Keep it up!
I hit my affiliate goals last night after less than two weeks of steaming!
It wouldnt have happened without the genuine advice and encouragement from eljay and the stream scheme team.
Put this advice to work for you and you will find success!
Glad we could be involved! Your hard work is what got you there though!
My tip is to have fun. I only started streaming in November. I watched and played with other streamers and build friendships with them that they raided me and i got affiliate very quick maybe before i was ready Im planning the streams for next year using all the tips from these vids. Now to setup a youtube what was that vid i needed to check out again lol
0-1000 RUclips subs! It’s on the channel!
Great tips! Enjoying it is just as important as anything else!
Yeah. I'm hoping that when I start my mc server with some of the people in eljayem's discord, then it will help me grow and have fun a lot more. Still waiting to see though.
@@crimson9641 I really think the MC server play at the size you and everyone else is won't help you grow honestly.
You're also all VERY different streamers so your content most likely won't mesh perfectly.
If you're doing the server for fun, go for it, if its for growth I'd say it won't work too great. I would've mentioned it sooner but I didn't realise it was a growth tactic.
@@StreamScheme it's not primarily a growth tactic. It's mainly for fun, but can also help us all grow
I started streaming and creating recently. I definitely saved money by utilizing my Rockband USB microphone, and used my old ps4 cam holder to hold my mic. Definitely a difference in audio quality. My tip is to fine tune and check and recheck your own footage, and research keywords before you publish a video to see where your video appears compared to others in the same topic.
That is one way to do it! Absolutely on the RUclips keywords and 100% for the recheck your own footage!
Your the absolute best, and thanks for answering all of my questions lol!
No worries :) Just working through them as I go!
@@StreamScheme What’s the best free game to stream with 0 viewers on Nintendo Switch or on PC? Sorry for another question...
@@Hi-sc1zs just try to experiment different games that people enjoy you streaming. There isn't a best game. All you need is to find the genre your chat wants to see
A tip that helped me was to find a group of people that I fit in well with and had the same experience with streaming as me and we all supported and grew with each other
Love it! Positive networking!
I'm super new to streaming but this video is so helpful! Thank you to everyone leaving tips in the comments too! ☺
I know the commenters are absolute legends!
I love the videos that you do.
The only my tip I can think of consider starting a twitch account with a friend who has similar interests in starting their own twitch journey. You both help motivate each other and it feels like a bigger community.
Growing with a friend or "rival" the Pokemon method! I love it!
How did this video get any thumbs down?!? Awesome video as always!
There is always room for improvement :)
Straight up, use a ducker on any audio that isn’t your voice. To set up a ducker, add a compressor to a source as a filter then side chain it to your mic. With proper settings, it will “duck” the audio down by a couple db anytime your voice is coming over the mic. That way, your voice is always forefront in your audience’s ear.
Very cool! I love this tip!
How can I improve talking to an empty stream? A lot of the time no one is in my stream but ik I get a lot of views after my stream is done and in my library so any tips on talking to an empty stream would help!
You most likely aren't getting views on your VoDs on your stream, the views on the vods are calculated by how many individual accounts went through your stream in 10 minute intervals, so if a bot checks the stream, or even if you are logged in yourself it counts the view and adds it to the streams recording on your channel after the fact.
I'd say if you want to improve while talking to an empty stream, check out my streaming to 0 viewers video as well as planning out content, plan out stories, jokes, talking points, etc!
Your videos have been helping me out recently with my channel. Ive become an affiliate last summer and just past 100 followers before the new year. Idk how people get all them viewers so quickly but I try not to worry about it and have fun.
Everyone has their own path and journey :)
So whenever I start my stream, about 2 minutes later I get like 10 new viewers and then it goes back down to 3-4. I am doing all of the chat engaging things and I have a good stream setup. How do I get those people to stay on the stream for a little bit?
Just have to keep working hard to be engaging honestly!
My number 1 twitch tip. Always have a eye catching overlay. If people see you in the twitch game category, with your shine new overlay, the they are more likely to click you.
65??? dude you gotta chill i gotta make some dinner eventually
thank you for the content, excellent as always, but would expect no less from you!
Some you might've heard already if you watch the channel hahaha It's a wrap up with as many as I could think of while recording! It's why I start at 62ish then say 64ish but its actually 65 hahahaha
@@StreamScheme hahahah i noticed that but it's all good stuff. and hearing it again just means it might stick a little more. which is important because sometimes our skulls are pretty thick and our egos a bit impenetrable.
This has helped a load. Thanks.
I think the most important ting for me is to remember different users. Ask questions and be engaged and try to not have dead air.
100% It goes such a long way to remember people when they come back!
Awesome tips! My top tip would be turn off your view counter. Always stream like people are watching.
Good call! Good content should be the focus no matter what!
I stopped doing that after hitting affiliate. I used to have Stream Manager open in the browser while streaming and checking off and on, look at viewer count and if the stream was shown fluently there. Now, I keep it off and I don't know how many people were watching until I get the summary later.
One friend passed this tip on to me and I think its a good one to pass on but she always remembers one thing about a person that way when and if they come back she will ask about that subject and its a nice engagement thing
A personal connection goes A LONG way!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year dude.
I would recommend not to pursue streaming if you are studying a degree. Your schedule goes down the toilet when deadlines and exams get closer.
100% Spot On! If Scheduling is like that you're better off doing RUclips content and growing a base there instead, easier to be consistent!
I've been following your videos bro. Your help has actually been unique and straight forward. I don't like when people try to sugar coat their tips. Your just chatting tip on the other video had me at the most viewers this month. I can't thank you enough
Smashing it mate! Keep it up!
Here before 1k views 😎
Welcome in early gang!
I started watching your videos and said fuck it I'm going to do more.
I rewrote my schedule, re worked some over scenes, started making funny titles(which really helped)
Your tips really are helping and its making me consider going back to school for marketing.
Thank you so much for the effort you've put out for us.
Hey sounds like you're smashing it! Keep it up!
I feel like "you should speak all the time" should be the number 1 tip - like 50% who stream do not follow it it feels like
Absolutely! So often it is just silent when I drop by!
A tip I've found to be very useful is raiding on twitch. I'm not sure if it works in the same way on youtube, but raiding is a pretty nice way of putting yourself out there. It's mutually beneficial as the streamer you raid gets exposure to your community, and you are exposed to their community. Sometimes people follow you from raids and end up coming to your stream too. I feel as though it's definitely a way to network, promote yourself and others, without having that 'hey check me out' annoying tone, which (rightfully so) a lot of people do not appreciate. Take some time to find a nice community to raid and overtime, it'll show results :D. Good luck!
Gosh I do need to raid more! I really struggle to raid due to having a lot of anxiety and some raid experiences in the past! Glad to hear you've had good raids though!
im jus trying to get 5 avg veiwers:(
I have videos on streaming to 0 and growing, and a video on growing to 25 average viewers with a direct example :)
@@StreamScheme thank you hopefully i can go somewhere with this
I must say. Your RUclips channel is my favorite channel for streaming tips. You have a very positive (‘glass half full’) mindset and you’re good at explaining things in a way that makes sense. You may have only 17k subs but your videos mean the world to me.
Wow! Thanks so much! We've only been uploading for a few months so we're excited to get so much feedback! Glad to hear they've made an impact! :)
My tip. Always be thankful for what you have. Find a group of guys who play the same game and cross grow eachother.
Hell yeah! Appreciating what you have is crucial!
This was probably on of the BEST and informative videos on learning how to make a good stream.... so comprehensive and thorough
Thank you for the video! A bit late but my tip would be, constantly improve what you are doing. Every time you hit that live button it should be better then the last time. There is always something you can do to improve!
Bro I just took so many notes oh my.
My tip is to smile. That’s it. If you’re not smiling and laughing, you’re not having a good time. It’s all about enjoying it.
I love all the tips man, but where i differ, I've been streaming every night for the past few months, i stream for about 2-3 hours each night and ive been going so well on it, thanks so much for the tips man, you deserve alot more recognition
Always an exception to the rule, just don't burn yourself out! What's your Twitch name?
Good luck man!
Hey Stream Scheme, thanks for replying man, i really appreciate it, My twitch name is ItzRektifyed, but please dont feel you have to check my stream out bro, i appreciate the tips and im here for your content man :)
Don't get discouraged. Fact of the matter is when you look at most of the biggest streamers. They've been working on their community for 4+ years. Some its taken even longer. So I'd say stay stubborn and keep Making content you enjoy
Absolutely! (While also being critical of your work and striving to improve!) hahaha Great advice! Patience!
My tip is that growth/improvement isn’t linear. Even if you can’t find ways to grow as a content creator, focus on what you already are doing and make that the best it can be. In fact, best way to improve at something is to not overthink it.
Polish and improve, just do your best! I like it!
I stream a lot of Persona 5 Royal (a JRPG that has a lot of lines from the characters that are read-only) and I read the lines out loud, sometimes in funny voices that sound nothing like the character is meant to sound. It really entertains my viewers, and I went from 1 viewer to 11 concurrent viewers within a few minutes just from doing this!
They love the funny voices don't they! I do it too!
@@StreamScheme it really works! And they come back because it's funny!
If you wanna stream, I suggest getting a set of LEDs. It just makes the light and the whole aesthetic of the stream 1000% better, plus we as humans like watching things appealing to the eye. So pick yourself a pack of LEDs. I suggest the Monster LEDs.
They're not crucial, but hey they can help!
Tips: Save giveaways for when your affiliate and only do them at certain milestones, if you can make them followers and/or subscribers only do that, my first giveaway ended with several people unfollowing me cuz they lost, but the winner and some of the others who entered stayed. Also adjust your audio on your mic and ask the viewers if you sound good they have to listen to you so they are the best feedback. And if you can adjust your alerts and overlays on the game your streaming have them match if you can, I do this so things match up well though I think its my OCD. However I'm still trying to figure out what to do for RUclips
Some great advice!
When you say figure out RUclips? You mean figure out RUclips growth? I have a video all about it if you want!
@@StreamScheme I'll have to watch it, I know I wanted to music on the channel as well as gaming content but I choke up when recording some for RUclips, when I stream I'm fine no nerves but recording for RUclips so much different
Awesome video as always, you have really helped me out with learning some of the ropes! My tip would be "Just be yourself! People want to see the real you, and trying to keep up a character when streaming all the time will be extremely draining and people will be able to tell you are not being genuine."
Love that! Thanks for the tip and the kind words!
Be live when your be live notification hits. I hate nothing more than getting a notification that you’re live, and I click the alert and see a 10 minute countdown video. I only have like 3 people I get notifications on, and that’s because they’re live when I get it.
I start every stream with a 5-7 minute speech where I talk about what game I am playing. What have we done so far, what do we hope to accomplish today, and general overall thoughts on the game are. I also welcome in people, etc. not saying it helps my RUclips VODS, but it helps me at least put together my talking points for the stream.
Oof! Not being live when the notification hits! That is rough!
This is more for the art streaming community but one of my tips is don’t be afraid to showcase other artists. Like if you’re asking “what are you working on” and someone says they’re doing a drawing, invite them to send a link in DMs or in chat (if you allow links) and show it off. It can get a little harder to do when you’ve grown so maybe save it for raids or maybe a channel point redeem. For me, it helps build the community and make new friends!
I love this idea so much! Seriously, this is great!
Another good one. Alot of information to digest so I may have to watch this one a few times. I stopped at number 15 to take notes. For real man, I think this is THE best channel as I've learned things on this one that I have NOT on others.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for all the kind words!
Thank you for these! I love this channel!
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP STREAMER!!❤️
I am a beginner affiliate streamer and I am a bit confused at points but your videos help me so much! I hope to grow and learn from each one I watch. Thank you so much, I couldn't say it enough.
Good luck! Thanks for dropping by stream last night as well! Glad the videos have been helpful!
Hey dude I had my first stream the other day and using about 10 of your tips I got a top of 5 viewers! It isn’t a lot but for a beginner I personally think it’s amazing! Thanks so much. You’re the best with tips :D
i followed and took alot from these tips and now i sit with 8-12 average viewers a stream and 56 followers! in the span of 3 weeks aswell! road to partner aswell! thanks a ton dude :)
I feel like this is one of very few channels that's actually helpful with all the info, short, useful and a bit of humor. Keep it up my guy.
There’s a lot of great creators out there! You should look up NuttyLmao as well! Fantastic stream educator!
Loving the content man! I had no idea there were websites that could let you use more emotes!
As for tip, here’s one I’ve learned: use games like “Marbles on Stream” or “One Troll Army” on steam to give your chat something to look forward to and do in game! The two I mentioned are FREE on steam and link to your Twitch. Super fun to play and chat while doing a “Chat vs Me” game night
You can use words on stream and Gartic on stream as well!
Love it. My tip is always think about ways to surprise the chat. I dyed my beard white for Christmas and people loved it
Love it! Solid Tip!
I don’t think even stream but I find this really entertaining to see what goes on behind the scenes
I’m really glad! Hahaha this is great to know!
