Love the honesty and tough love. I was nervous at first. When you started to talk about a list of 32 things, and started getting a bit (politely) tough, I knew there would be some tough pills to swallow. But I did watch to the end, and I did take on board what you had to say. I'm glad to say that while I'm only doing about 15 of these right now, I can see the areas I need to improve. I can see how to improve. And after seriously contemplating the tough pills, I do not believe they are game/enders for me. This has boosted my overall confidence while highlighting things I need to work on. Thank you.

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

thank you so much for this video. i've been trying since over a month and it's really difficult to grow on twitch when you only have one or two viewers because you're always gonna be on the very bottom of the channel lists.

[@DezzNytes]

Thank you for always being real with your audience! I started noticing lack in growth after months of slow and steady growth and decided to hit the brakes on my stream. Instead I want to focus fully on content creation right now. I've found a secret love in video editing and am working hard to come up with video ideas, guides, etc. My small community has fully embraced my small break from streaming and supports me which is a great feeling. Also doing 26/32 tips already is not too bad if I do say to myself!

As soon as you said ,,I got a challenge for you, Billie", I was like *grabbing a piece of paper and a pen*. I got 23/32 and I'm so glad that I've been watching your videos since shortly before I've started streaming. I've been streaming for about 5 months now, using many of your tips and it's going so well! I've had 23 viewers a couple of times now and got an amazing little community. Man, I couldn't thank you enough for all your help!

[@fuckyoutubrforchangingthis]

On my first day streaming i had 16 viewers and it blew my mind

[@flobot0713]

I really appreciate this breakdown; it's far more damaging to set unrealistic parameters and expectations for something than to face the facts surrounding the desired outcome, in this case, being seen, followed, and recommended to other viewers. I'm currently in that camp of hesitation, but that's a general problem I have with most things, something I'm working on. It's nice to see direct answers to complex questions. Thanks for this.

[@VeeSyncc]

Tip number 32. I really appreciate you keeping it real. I normally would just keep going and going I'm stubborn like that. But if in a month or so I haven't grown then I'm gonna take a step back, and see what I can realistically improve. Thank you.

[@Not_Ciel]

Bro that was actually a super valuable one. It took me about a year to get 50 followers and affiliate, but I noticed I was struggling so hard to grow. I had to step back from twitch for a year or two because of life, but when I came back it allowed me to re-evaluate the entire venture and see how I could improve. I’ve nearly doubled those numbers in a few weeks because of that re-evaluation.

[@ZebrazRus]

@@Not_Ciel you GO !!

[@GSXHeckler]

Thanks for all the tips. The past month I have really been struggling with what my next step should be. #32 was exactly what I needed. This week my goal was to work on a lot of things I know need changing, but I was afraid that I need to keep going live and not take that time off to readdress some things. It gets hard to fix things when you constantly need it stable to go live. It also made me realize something else. Another struggle I believe I've had is understanding what roles I fulfill. Hearing all those roles has helped me embrace some new things going forward. I sometimes wondered if I was doing too much. You've made me realize, I still have to step up in some areas and do more, lol. I can't wait, I'm enjoying this challenge of having to get better.

[@Salli199]

I got a solid 23, though a lot of them I have gotten over that last couple of weeks, where I have been binging your videoes. It's so great to get some real advice other than "just keep going", it means I have actively been improving my stream, and I have more fun because of it.

I dunno no disrespect but the reality is it isn't hard to get viewers as a female streamer. You just gotta show up most of the time. But congrats.

[@Salli199]

@@Doritoboy200live you can't just say no disrespect, and then say something disrespectful (and wrong). That doesn't negate anything. You should really consider why you think that way. Is it based on an actual trend, or is it because bitter men keep saying it, because they're jealous (and so you repeat that as many sadly does).

[@YoungGraphikz]

@@Salli199 im not saying this because im jealous but many females go viral easily on social media and get more viewers on twitch, its true but at the same time im pretty sure you put as much effort as everyone else, But compared to males your results come faster (sad truth is, most men complain about how easy it is for females but males are the the ones giving the most views/likes)

Not at all, honestly stressing the "review, review, review" and "if you are failing, stop doing this. REVIEW where you are failing if you want to keep going" is important.

[@charchess]

I think it's all about objectives and goals, If you want to grow, you have to make you known and easily "findable" and such but as for myself ...I daydream about beng famous and rich but realistically, that is not my goal, when I start a stream it's to have fun with a couple of viewer and growing a small community so ... I think you need to know what you want, what hope and what you can do, in order to do what you can, try to achieve what you want, still aiming for what you hope ;) And thanks Eljayem for all the advices I won't follow :p , I really enjoy your work

[@RicoGnized]

I think the biggest problem is, that many beginners don't watch their own stuff. Sometimes out of laziness, sometimes because they are aware of the fact, that they just sat there, stonefaced, doing nothing other than playing the game, while not saying a word. All you need to do, is search those streamers with 0-2 viewers. It's just sad, because some of them genuinely seem like pleasent, friendly guys... So to all of you out there. I think, one of the most important tips in this video is to ENTERTAIN. Don't look at the numbers. Just be you. Be silly. Make jokes. Sooner rather than later, someone will be in your stream, in your chat and be laughing with you. Oh and quick note: This channel helped me alot to take a step back and look on what I can improve on. So. Thank you for being out there, providing us little ones, with some really life altering tips!

[@misticmaze]

I just wanted to say thank you for making this. And thank you for not sugar coating it all. That ending bit about stopping if things just aren't going right and taking the time to see what's going wrong was very reassuring. I'm aspiring to be a streamer and content creator myself and I've been dreaming of it for 8 years. But I've finally managed the courage to stop dreaming and try to pursue this dream and try my best with the understanding that failure is very much the likely option. But learning now that there are plenty of ways to increase those odds just a bit more and plenty of ways to use my analytic brain to see what can be improved and try again if things go wrong. This video gave just little egg of hope to push myself out of the crippling fear of making the final steps of pushing myself over that limit and finishing my step to be ready to stream. So Once Again. Just Thank you.

[@iamyungbucket]

After going through this video I’ve basically done everything except for stream consistently but that’s something I’m working on now. I started about 2 months ago and have had decent growth on both KZbin and Twitch. This video is an excellent resource for smaller streamers out there STILL to this day.

Thank you for all the advice this channel has to offer! When I originally started streaming it was more of a way to analyze old gameplay and see how I could improve, then I was actually getting viewers and the interaction with the people in chat (even if it was just 1 person...) was just fun to me. I started incorporating some of your ideas and tips into my stream and within I think a month of streaming I've hit affiliate status! You've helped me turn something into a fun hobby that I enjoy doing and for that I am grateful. I do need to work on my consistency though through my schedule :x

So I was quite critical but I’m doing at least 19 of these with a couple that I could do better with. I’ve actually written everything down and I’ll pick one or two a week that I can definitely improve on!

It make sure we don’t get overwhelmed, but feel positive we are making small improvements each week!! Legend as always, thanks ELJAY!

I'm on my 2nd year of streaming consistently and only got 18/32. It took me a long time to learn a lot of this on my own, but I wasn't really thinking about growing or building anything early on. I just kept going live every day because it was fun. After 516 days in a row I was just really frustrated because I felt like I was putting in a lot of effort and not really seeing any results. I decided to end that daily stream streak and start trying to figure out how to actually grow. It's been a couple of weeks and it's a huge learning curve. I'm still frustrated, but optimistic.

[@obbldudeTV]

4:00 very important! Once I started playing a less competitive game (Skyrim). It changed everything. I went from feeling boring and hopeless to having a lot of fun. Here's what I did for my first successful stream with legit 10 followers and no viewers to sum up the first 4 minutes of the video. I went from playing csgo to skyrim. The idea for the stream I had was play the game but put in mods and change the mods I was using throughout the stream. The title had 2 engaging keywords; Mods and 12 hour stream. I think the title was something like: 12 Hour Stream! Ruining Skyrim By Adding Random Mods. And lastly I kept talking, even if it wasn't to a viewer and there were ZERO periods of silence. You stop talking for legit more then 2 seconds you'll start dropping off I know we're told no one likes a chatterbox but with streaming it's a must! Once I combined all those things I had a solid 12 hour stream were I averaged 12 viewers and peaked at 21 and got 20 followers that stream. I wanna get back into it even for just 1 or 2 days a week for 4 hours, time is my biggest enemy right now.

[@Hxnnibe3]

Same here, i havent actually streamed yet but ive been doing my research. Im unwell right now so i would be boring to watch as im untalkative currently thanks to a headache and sore throay (which is why im here doing MORE research lol) from all the research ive done, being unique in a smaller game and talking alot is probably the most crucial part for starting out (aside from tech stuff like quality mic, not getting copyrighted, ect)

[@bagachipslive8701]

This is so insightful. Thank you for making the time to help all of us smaller streamers out! I’ve been streaming for almost a year now and still struggle to get over 10 consistent viewers on my streams but with the right changes I know I will be successful. :)

[@6ix13ree]

I have not kept track of the amount of tips but will go back and review, this guide and tip video sure does help. I've become affiliate within 12 days and grown to 140 followers. Average viewers are about a dozen. But I struggle for time/game content. I have now not streamed for a week, hoping that did not hurt the viewers but am now incorporating new content and same content as you mentioned. Been in it for 2 months. Thanks for the tips again.

[@MrSmitheroons]

Just real and detailed enough to be helpful and actionable, just simple and encouraging enough to be, well encouraging. That's a really good job putting this together. Thank you, an thanks for putting this out there.

"insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and hoping for different results" ... you're so right in that last point. I've just recently started, so all this comes in handy -- all of it very good advice, thanks ;)

15 points. I've only started taking this seriously the past few months but im finding my niche and learning when I get more views! This video helped so much. I will be using my break day (today) to assess all my technical issues and then dive into planning for my Wednesday stream 💚 thank you for all your help these videos are wonderful

[@ramen_xl]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. A lot of things I've already been thinking, but good to hear come from you. Its only made me more motivated. I've only been streaming for a week. I work a full time job and stream every evening as an outlet. And I love it. Thanks for this video.

[@whattheshmitty]

Exactly the same here. I wish I could just quit my real job and stream all day but alas. I'm taking both very seriously though, between streaming and working I hardly have any personal time these days. But I'm extremely passionate about one day being a full-time streamer. Good luck to you!

As someone who has experienced many of these difficulties you've discussed, I can appreciate the honesty and reality of how you went about giving these tips. Though some may not agree, I think it's very respectable to be as straight forward about it as you were.

[@StreamScheme]

I appreciate the kind words :)

[@sincerityuwu]

No problem :) Thanks to this video, I've made extreme amounts of progress compared to my previous attempts at starting my own channel. Sometimes people just need a dose of reality haha. Myself included.

[@asonstrom4056]

NGL chief, I'm doing exactly none of these things (very well). I have my About filled out and a small Rules panel, and I have a basic overlay, but not much else. To be fair, I am still at a VERY beginner level so I'm still figuring a lot out and I took a lot of notes on this video! It continuously amazes me how much goes into being a streamer, and how much I wouldn't even consider being a thing until someone else brings it up. I seriously appreciate the fact that you make all these guides because it makes me feel more confident about my ability to do things well when I start streaming again.

[@nukularbunny911]

16 XD, I've kinda done the last tip around two times now and every time I do that I feel like I did get better, even if its a little bit. Also I've recently started trying out your 10 minute self talk session, and boy does it help a lot especially when I do it before going live. I feel more confident and my casting is improved overall as well!

[@StreamScheme]

Nice work! The best part about getting 16/32 is that you have lots of ways you can improv, and they aren't massive steps so just one at a time! Glad to hear you're working hard, and the 10 minute tip helped! :)

[@green08green08green]

These are the best tips. Amazing motivation at the end! I used to stream every week but stopped due to my college classes. Now that Summer is around the corner I want to start consistently streaming again. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you Eljay, Ive been streaming for about 1 month and im following 31 out of 32 tips (Trying to stick to a category is rough). Im super proud of the growth ive had since i started putting serious work into my stream and i know i wouldnt have gotten this far without your content and advice

[@C4ptainInsanity-pm5ge]

Hey mate! 2024 here and watching your video for the tips. I'm listening while working, and all I can say is thank you. So far, so good,I actually haven't done 75% of what you mentioned because I didn't even know (I started streaming 2 days ago on Twitch/streamlabs) I didn't even knew you can't see my streams unless you turn that option ON (after the stream is finished) So thanks again. Have a great day, and I will comment here again in a few months to inform you of how your tips have helped.

[@clatchit8516]

Listened to this in the car today, thanks again! Will have to listen to it again when I get home and actually see which of the tips I really need to focus on. Also, wanted to say a HUGE congrats on 100K followers, well deserved sir.

Honestly, I'm very surprised that I got 28 tips out of 32. I've been streaming for two years and only just recently started to actually grow. Thank you for the helpful tips, even though the last one was a bit harsh

Seeing this helped me a lot with my stream! I just started and each tip is very helpful! I prepared everything from the beginning and is turning well!

[@bigmeech3485]

This was very helpful and thank you for taking your time to give streamer the push to view how they want to stream. Why they want to stream and if they have what it takes to make it as a streamer. The tips and tools are important.

[@SimcoGo]

Thank you dude. I respect the honesty and detailed information you have provided. One of the best creators I have found to aid me in my journey. I stopped at every point and worked on that point before going onto the next. 2 days ago I started streaming because I didn't want to put it off any longer, as I was stopping myself out of doubt. I did hope for the best. Yesterday second stream, after watching my recorded 1st stream, went slightly better, just the nerves and some issues. Today I just spent the time with your points and added as much of them to my channel and into my thought process. Feeling more confident now and have tools to aid me. Twitch here I come. Thanks again buddy. Your Welsh fan Simcogo :)

[@MrMinticuz]

This is probably the biggest pinned video that I should come back to after I'm done with uni - you have all the points laid out correctly, I agree with all of them and after many years of trying and attempting things, I have learnt enough to just about be able to take in guides like this video and actually be able to somewhat process the intensity of this craft tbh, I have been avoiding this video for a good half a year at least since I saw it in my recommended ahah

Hands down thank you for this vid. Thanks to the information Im actually able to establish a plan of attack when it comes to what I need to do to be a content creator and streamer. Prior to your vid, I had no way of knowing where to begin. BEST GUIDE EVER FOR A NEW STREAMER!

[@SanstheSkeleton-ji6yt]

2:00 the other thing I’d suggest is having a friend view the stream and chat as if they were a random viewer, this makes it not awkward, and gives you practice interacting with viewers.

[@TheFreakyTikki]

that's good advice and it does actually work,

[@mayito_76]

Sometimes I try to give new streamers an "opportunity" to see if they are fun or entertaining, but searching the 0-1 viewers at the bottom. And Most of them are just in silence. I tried even chatting and interacting with a guy, by asking what was the song and he responded: "how you don't know this song, everyone knows it", I left immediately, these new streamers put 0 effort and just "hope for the best".

[@ThunderGodAsh]

I think it’s not an effortless attempt just not good people skills sometimes. Like someone join omg!!how do I keep them here?? what do I do? Anxiety kicks in and people just either say something you don’t like or they just go silent. When I stream I try to talk and entertain anyone that joins. Definitely will be responding in the chat but I find myself “locking in” on the game. I think it’s just practice and lack of knowledge tbh

[@cameronyates2289]

Aye bro come join my stream tonight. I do warzone stream while high with the guys. I get 0 viewers. And u said u test out some. Just come and try it out and follow if so my twitch is DaddyKush4200

I got most of these!! Only ones I was missing was the pro tip about protecting yourself by not putting personal info in the blocked category. I also don't have my own discord set up yet and I don't have overlays but I'm working on it! I'm returning to streaming after almost a nine (!) year break! I was doing pretty well, I was getting about 50-100 viewers per stream back in the day, all I need for affiliate status now is a couple more unique days of streaming. But now I'm having to start over basically from scratch, and your videos have been incredible. Streaming is definitely a different ball game nowadays vs what it was like nine years ago so your videos have been very helpful in helping me learn what it's like to stream today.

[@thesoulcounter]

This video was so very helpful. I have subscribed and will be looking at the content to better improve my stream. As someone who is new to streaming (I've only been doing it for a week) I think it is important to have the "real talk" about what it is. Being told exactly how it works and that it is hard work and not just hitting the "go live" button and hoping for the best. I lost count because I was more interested in the content then keeping count, but I know I'm currently doing 20+ of these. Thanks for all the tips!!!

[@maybeitsmason9362]

Just found this video. I think the thing I struggle with the most is the thought of what other people may think. Inside and outside of my circle. The mental battle of streaming is much harder than doing it in my opinion. I can’t wait to start over and see where this can take me. It’s been my dream for years and video games are my passion. I guess I just have to remember that outweighs the rest of it all. Thanks man

Hello ! Thanks for your video, i started to steam 4 years ago and i still not growing, i tried to get more quality of sound, video, make video on KZbin and a lot of tips you talked about. I was saying to myself "i just have no luck only 1% of streamers can grow, i did my best !" But... you made me realize that i didn't try to stream like 100% and do what i started to stream first: The Entertainment, having fun with all random people who came on my stream, give 100% on my energy and not just chilling whole stream. Thanks for the last tips it was a real wake-up call for me

The last tip is actually my favourite part of starting streaming cause it’s relatively easy to start streaming but just what I’ve learned over the last week alone is immense. There’s so many little parts besides just streaming that make it fun.

[@Zel-Veraan]

@@StreamScheme this is an odd one to me. It makes sense, but I have such trouble with scripting stuff.

[@StreamScheme]

@@Zel-Veraan What scripting are you doing? The tip they are referring to is entirely off the cuff practice recording yourself 10 minutes a day. Donb't watch it back till the next day, then watch it, and record again. Zero prep, zero scripting, no music, no games, etc. The only two things I script are: I script these videos entirely. And the second is I create single dot points for stream IF I get lost at all I can look over but I don't use them like a script, just reminders.
