Hey there Eljay massive fan and thanks for the video once again you're a legend. I don't know if you remember this from a couple streams ago, but would really love to hear your input on Dixper. Really interactive but not sure if it will be for everyone. Think it is a great way to involve communities though so really want to see more people use it. Thanks for all the stuff you doing mate.

Wow, how did you know I had a bad week and I needed to hear that last tip? :D Mistake I made: focus too much on what is good content and getting so anxious that I would not make content at all. I just kept watching videos about how to create it, but not spend time actually creating it. How to deal with it: try to realise it's okay to make something that isn't perfect or even good, you need to take action to learn, in Dutch we have a saying "niet geschoten is altijd mis" which translates to ïf you don't shoot, you'll always miss" (nothing ventured, nothing gained).

Wow that last tip really hit home. I get supported by great loving people pushing me, saying I have potential, but no matter what that little voice in my head is there saying "you're kidding yourself". At the end of the day, I wouldn't have gotten my first 10 followers, I wouldn't have edited my first video, and I definitely wouldn't have gotten my first donation if I didn't at least try. It's surreal how much I enjoy content creation, but also how stressful it can become. Thanks mate, your videos are great at reminding me that it's all part of the journey, and that it wouldn't be worth it if it was easy. Much love 🤜🏼🤛🏼💙💚

That I do not make good content and that I am probably not fun to watch. But, this video did help, and I am going to be writing post-it notes now because I love that idea. It hit me close to home when you said you get anxious, because I have lots of anxiety and throughout my streams, I stop and worry that I am not being captivating enough. I need more confidence in my streaming capability and when you said to look at how far you have come, it hit me just how far I have come since I started 5 months ago. So thank you for this video today.

I'm generally skeptical about stream advice but ALL of this is VERY true. When my stream was on a decline I told my viewers im going to take a short break from streaming, 2weeks later I came back with a new attitude, revamped stream and more plans. my avg viewers in the month of July went up to 13 from 5.8 in June and my first event stream peaked at 27 viewers with an avg of 21 over a 4hr stream. You don't have to even be creative, you can copy ideas and put your own twist on them. Just make your streams exciting for the people who do watch you and don't create unreasonable incentive goals for them. Its not enough anymore to just be good at whatever game you are playing, people are taking the free time out of their own day to watch you so make their time worth being spent on your channel :)

I was able to get things going again but I was just so down about the issues and thought nobody would be there after that. Turns out the community I have that watches me must've understood because they all came back and that made me realize as long as I go out there and do what's in my power to give people an enjoyable experience and put them first (within reason), technical problems won't stop regulars from coming back. Best believe I made sure to thank them for their support. If I can't believe in myself, I know I can believe in them and that's more than enough to push me forward and try to give back to them at least as much as they've given me.

WAOW. I know you said WOW but I'm putting a lil spice onto it for funsies. Anyway, thank you again for another banger of a vid-- you're such a huge confidence booster and always have great advice that I try my best to follow in order for myself to grow too (without obsessing over it, of course). The collabing advice was interesting to me because I've heard many mixed opinions on that- mostly how collabing too much is harmful for things like growth because people want to see/talk/connect with YOU, the streamer, but if you are always playing with others and not really paying attention to chat, then people feel less enticed to watch. I know that even as a viewer, I've felt that way too at times. You make a good point on why it's good to do too though, and I'm sure like with most things, it's a matter of balance! I dig the lighting too, btw, and I hope you're recovering at a steady pace! I know how stressful it can be to have to take a week off from streaming, even. I think your energy is just fine and I genuinely can't tell if it's off and only know from your comment.. :P

(WOW!) Here's my mistake: burning myself out. I used to try to stream as often as I could, then I stopped because I realized that was stupid and I could use my time elsewhere. However, I guess I hadn't learned my lesson with burnout. I then tried to make one video a week and upload a TikTok every day, but when I did that, I started to hate content creation. I realized I was burning out, so I took a break. I'm back at it now, streaming four hours a week as I was before, and I'm having more fun than ever. Call me lazy. I think it's a combination of ADHD (I think I have it, but don't actually have a diagnosis yet), plus a burning hatred for deadlines. But I decided to only start editing videos when I feel like it. As long as it was being worked on, I figured giving myself as much time as I needed would prevent me from overworking. Since I did that, my two streams that followed were some of the best streams I'd ever had. I didn't look at the numbers too much, but the streams were extremely engaging and fun. I also really like the KZbin video I'm working on: from title and thumbnail to editing, I'm really proud of it, and I'm cutting a lot less corners than I was before. Even if it's looking like it'll take a month to make a five-minute video, it'll be worth it for both my mental well-being and the final product.

Being too engrossed in 'getting gud' is one mistake. I had many many hollow knight streams where I just went 'silent switch on sweat mode' trying to clear hard bosses. Yes, chatters cheer me on, but it was realllllllyyyyyyyy boring content. I've since learned to let loose a little, joke around about my fails and mistakes, and just be less serious. It has been a lot more fun for me and keep myself connected with the chatters. Also about the adding something new, I added 2 voicemods channel point redemptions and it really spiced things up. Chat loved it, redeem it during intense moments in the game and when I'm not looking at chat. They get a laugh. It really broke the stagnation I was feeling recently in my content, and I can't wait to experiment with more things :D

Not looking to hit it soon but within the next 6 to 12 months. Thanks for the tips and videos.

Wow, excellent video! Yet another one I've bookmarked to watch again later. I think more collaboration will be the next step I take. I already try to implement or change something for every stream (so I don't get burnt out on building up my channel), but I was worried my doing at least one event stream per month was too much - it's good to know that one a month is the right pace. Thanks!

This really helped dude, I have been growing on twitch rapidly and am already affiliate and part of me is scared that it couldn't possibly keep succeeding, that it will all come crashing down. I have been trying to work with other streamers to work on improving my stream. Thanks man, you're a legend

I got affiliate this weekend and I wanted to say thank you so much Eljay for all your helpful tips, I couldn't have got it without these videos, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
@Shinfekta2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for that video Eljay! Informative as always! I just wanted to ask about the collab part. I have the feeling that often the streamer does engage with chat either less other not at all anymore when collabing. How could one balance that act of playing with the collab partners and stay engaged with chat.
@StreamScheme2 жыл бұрын
It’s very tough! But it’s about making good content for all the lurkers, and muting discord to engage chat here and there. No real tips other than practice, and make engaging content in the collab as best you can.

I used to over extend myself with my mental health and push myself to stream when I'm not really able to. I'm lack luster and the content took a dive. But now I've made my community aware of how I'm doing and allow myself to take breaks

One mistake I made was do the same event once a week, thus making it feel repeatitive. However the first one I got some major support! Definitely thinking of doing it again someday. WOW that beanie looks amazing!

Your tips been helping massively! Over the course of 3 months, starting from a promise I've made (becoming a VTuber) into fulfilling it, I've learnt a ton about streaming and even myself! Used to be going by the name MoonLightu, rebranded to (The Demon Lord) Asaki! Whenever anyone asks me tips about streaming I don't hesitate recommending your channel, because honestly, more than half of the videos I've saved in my "Streaming Guides" playlist consists of your Videos 😅

I'm actually considering dropping streaming in order to focus more on my KZbin videos. I've noticed on my past few KZbin live streams that whenever I go live one of my viewers joins, realizes it's not a video, and then immediately unsubscribes. it's kinda heartbreaking especially with how little Subs I have, so I've been thinking I should just stop streaming until I get a little bigger audience.

Wow! Thanks Eljay, you're a legend man, you've been so helpful as I've just started streaming a couple weeks ago. My biggest mistake so far was I setup all my audio and it was working well and was well balanced, and then right before a stream I changed eeeeverything and didn't test anything. I got a message at the end of the stream that the audio was terrible and I just wondered how many people I had stop by who thought the same thing.

Thank you for this video! I've been watching plenty of your videos and I appreciate the advice in them. They somehow are always relevant to what I'm going through - I have been worrying about my lack of growth lately, and then this video comes out? Perfect timing. Thanks again for the advice, and hopefully sooner rather than later I can get my act together and start applying it to the way I approach streaming without doubting myself enough to give it a try. Maybe I need sticky notes too.

@rockkandyart72912 жыл бұрын
Literally i'm just starting to set things up...my mistake? Thinking I could have it all done in a day or two. Yeah.... My advice? Take your time, use what you have on hand whenever you can, and just get into learning what everything does. Click on everything, watch tutorials, get a good grasp on how everything works BEFORE you go live.... I don't have notions of being an expert when I stream for the first time but at least I'll know where I can find the info to troubleshoot and figure it out. Pace yourself, it won't happen overnight.... I learned that the hard way...

I made the mistake of doing ‘playing with viewers’ (minecraft smp) which bought in a lot of people but they were only there for the smp and that meant I could play anything. I also found it hard to manage multiple people and also run a good stream Eventually a bit the bullet and did what I wanted to do and allowed my viewer count to rank but the people there were there for me
