I'm around 5 years with no more then an average of 0 to 6 viewers. I still stream to this day, I stopped looking and caring about my number of viewers. Starting to stream has got me into learning about SEO analytics, higher filming and lighting techics, and time management over hours instead of days at a time. Im constantly trying to do new things but even though I've done multi platforms I feel like I'm getting stuff out way to slow and it becomes irrelevant compared to others who get stuff out minutes after major companies put out the information. I use multiple accounts as not to self advertise when talking on others stuff

[@ShugarMeat]

Bruh, same. I’ve been streaming for 5 years also. I too have 0-6 avg viewers but that’s not why I do it. I’m putting myself out there to hopefully find people that are like minded. I also love the behind the scenes stuff like you mentioned. I’ve learned so much about video and audio production, time management, content creation and graphic design. I love my stream life 😁

I think I really improved being more engaging, last stream I had 17 viewers. Was really proud of that

[@TheSoulCrisis]

It's so insightful and inspiring to see great folks who put in the work for 2 - 3 years only averaging less than 50 viewers and then blossomed getting 4,000+ average viewers.........that's the amazing thing about content creation and streaming. Growth isn't linear, it's exponential!

[@kaleidoscyan474]

i've been streaming for about 7 months now, but only during the last month i've been trying to make the quality of my content better and i've already seen a huge difference. i actually have regular chatters now which is cray to me, my followers have more than doubled and my viewership has also grown alot. Thanks for helping me with your awesome videos :)

As someone whose just about to start over with youtube & twitch and getting back into it i think your videos are great! Really appreciate all the tips and tricks you share :D

[@imwatchingyouppl1016]

Most ppl don't get me. I'm ONLY Affiliate because I want to upload custom Emotes. I'm not interested to growth; I'm just in love with a certain Community game and like meeting new ppl and playing it with them. The only time I mention any giving perks--tips, Throne, etc.--is my birtmonth. The only other benefit I see to growth is creating and fostering a truly safe space that others can enjoy. That being sad, for other streamers who *want* to grow, this is really good advice. I've been watching a lot of your videos and have learned much to improve my small space on Twitch. I'm improving things, learning some tech ins and outs, and learning to woosah through the many hiccups along the way. Great video, as always.

I can see how this could work out been a 3 years streamer myself and really never made much progress in those past years

[@WaywardPython]

I’m about 18 months in. I’m a fairly niche interest and I’ve accepted growth is going to be slow. But in that time I’ve crept up from 3 average viewers to nearly 20. I know a lot of the things I need to do to grow, so the next task is to get going on them (especially putting a LOT more work into my KZbin output).

[@galacticgeek2616]

If most people drop out after 3 months, then I'm gonna set myself a goal to go past that

[@GeographyNerd1]

[@daminguez]

Man! Just thank you! You are right and you just give me hope! Thx! :)

[@Faelandaea]

I’m a small creator but I expect to stay small. My audience is very niche and the content is aimed at them. It’s satisfying because I get to stay unstressed because I’m a full time truck driver and can only do a video a week maybe. A small crowd I can keep up with.

[@swolebread2313]

Been streaming on and off for a few years I’m an affiliate and the grind to get it was fun I was averaging 10 followers a day just by being consistent and funny And got to 300 something followers and even got some checks from but it I took a break for personal reasons and now trying to get back into it and it’s definitely hard not seeing the numbers I was before but it’s changed my views I want branch out and start making more content because there’s some games I’m looking forward to

[@ItzSykadelic]

That's the biggest thing with this industry, you build that momentum, then once you take that break cause you NEED to, when you come back, you lose it all and feels like you're forgotten about.

I've been making KZbin content for about 10+ years, all different kinds of videos, thumbnails and improvement. Views never went up past about 100 average on stuff I didn't even really want to do. Twitch been on for about 8 years, hardcore variety streamer, and just now almost getting to double digit average. It's a long LONG process but this whole video is true the more I change things the better the content and more viewership. Just need that big break or push

[@hpjplaysandarchives]

I seen this video and I honestly have mix feelings on this. From my own perspective I have faced this problem or something similar and I have legit now idea what to exactly do.I get the idea of trying this put it also feels like unless you have something solid behind you this may not work. I have a hand full of people sitting my chat but it says only 1 viewer. I spark up conversation and what not still nothing. Even when I get raided it drops right back to 1 viewer. I don't exactly know what to do especially when I talk and talk about the games I play. Then I also have the issue of I invite friends to come from all over social media to raise the number and even then that doesn't work out either.

[@lTeksterl]

This feels like a content creator review and I love this Idea for you're channel. Do you think you would be down for making more review videos of small time content creators? Maybe not so random (like browsing for a creator to review) but maybe set a application method and pre-check them out before making a video on them. This would make it to where people who follow you and would actually take your advise in a positive way(people looking for advise). Maybe a new way of gaining revenue? I know I would love a review on my stream from you. Im always looking for ways to improve and always run to your videos past and present for a new idea or a new way to improve.

[@K3LPoke]

I'm stuck at 25 followers and would love to hit the 50 follower mark to use all of the tools twitch blocks behind affiliate (reruns, local loyalty, etc). I get between 4 and 9 viewers at a time on my channel at a time, and usually at least 3 of my friends are on cheering me on, but I just can't convert people to follow. I use call to actions for follow both verbally and with cloudbot, but it just isn't helping out. Any tips?

Beyond a lot of tips in regards to growth, what would you say is the step-up from "streaming gameplay on Twitch" to "creating content on Twitch"?

Having an end goal, or a goal, content that will go further to other platforms. Essentially planning!

Personally I would rather have 10 viewers that interact in chat than 100 who just watch me. Then again I don't stream to make money or to make it big. I do it as I enjoy it. I will stream to zero the same as I would to 1000.

[@Zonaite]

I need to hear this kind of advice weekly to get my butt in gear! So thank you for making these videos. I've been streaming for 2½ years and I'm stuck at 5-15 viewers every week (I appreciate every one of them, but I want to see some growth). I stream once or twice a week, but I spend a lot of time upgrading my stream setup, rather than making discoverable content. Because of your advice, amongst others', it's starting to dawn on me that I should probably put more time into learning how to edit and do good thumbnails, than getting the newest OBS plugin up and running. xD

[@exosquare]

in 1,5 weeks, i'll be streaming on twitch for 3 years, but right now i'm on a break... I avr. about 5 to 7 viewers... I became very inconsistent with streaming. only my mondays were a set thing, which was the day i had most viewers. I changed my layout and alerts, changing the content i did, and will start streaming again on my twitchaversary... I wanted to make YT vids about the game i WAS doing, but the Dev. announced a mega change set for beginning of this year, which would have made those vids irrelevant. (that update suddenly moved 3 times, now set for 2023) How the new content will be received, and if i can make YT vids with / for it, dunno yet.. I'll just turn on the stream and will see how things go from there. I just stream cause i have fun doing it, i don't do it for the viewership, money or "becoming twitch famous"... I do expect a decline in followers, since i stopped playing a game that 20~30% of my followers only play that (chat "interactive") game. But most important things with streaming.... 1. Have fun yourself.. (very very few toxic streamers make it big). 2. CONSISTANCY !!!.. Regular schedule and keeping to it, is key.

[@imMuzzy]

On my 5th month of uploading every single day , not 1 day missed I think the best thing as a small creator to do to make good content is to make content as if you’re a big creator already, if you have 1 person in chat, make it seem like you’re talking to a million Not making w content or waiting to make w content when you have more people watching is never going to catch people attention , gotta make the viewer already feel like home
