The New Way To Make Money On Twitch

[@Senpai]

Take an idea, leave an idea. This is an idea thread of different things you can do on stream. Let's heckin go.

[@geopi_]

I've been working with youtubers for the last 5 years on graphics / animations / designs as my main job and the succesful ones have had multiple channels for a while, between 3 and 6. Some are clips, some are full gameplay no edits, some are translations in different languages. It's a smart move that has been around for a while.

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

Peoples' advice on how to be successful on KZbin makes me think content creation is not for me because I don't want to let other people completely define who I am and what I do.

[@Anon101sss]

Challenge videos, duh.

[@ixiladams4275]

Character based streams. Slightly different from personality based. More like Wrestling kafabe like Doc D

[@AJ-ed7mx]

I go to the store and live stream and the audience chooses what i buy and review

[@capp00]

I'd definitely be interested in hearing more of how to do this type of thing with gaming content. With the notion of "Have an idea before a stream for content", I have no idea how you could segue that into a gaming stream. Most clips/shorts I've ever gotten while streaming was just the random oops or funny moment, which are nearly impossible to plan. So, I'd love to see more ideas of how to do this type of thing with Gaming content.

[@HeronHQ]

What about having a tutorial/guide or review section for the game you stream? Depending on the game type there will be questions from chat anyways what you'd recommend. Take those questions and prepare yourself a scene to answer them in an appealing way. A few examples: - what tanks do you prefer in World of Tanks/War Thunder and why? - what role/character to play in overwatch? - what factions/strategies are your favourites in Age of Empires 4? - how do you like game xyz and to whom would you recommend buying? - introduce your viewers to a game that means much to you personally. - what's your best strategy to farm xyz and showcase/analyze it - etc.

[@capp00]

@@HeronHQ I already do a ton of tutorials and guides, as well as lets plays, on the youtube channel.

[@HeronHQ]

@@capp00 I don't know you, sorry. You asked for ideas but turned em down instantaneously. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't watch lps on yt anymore so I'm not your target audience. But I feel that lps are not that kind of content that helps anybody grow that much on yt anymore. Every viewer starting to watch your gameplay might lose interest eventually. Maybe because their life changed, they lost interest in the game or whatsoever. But you will do content and release on a regular basis even though numbers become smaller. Why not play onstream and upload those streams to a lp channel afterwards, while using your main channel for easy to watch videos that don't belong to a series one should watch from the beginning? If you stream 4 hours a day, you can easily plan them out to have x amount of time explaining stuff, y amount of playing stuff and z amount of showcasing stuff. And if you rely on game servers to be up while playing, having alternatives at hand to be streaming if they're down can become handy, too. Taking 7 days to die as an example: Why don't you showcase different builds you came up with of how to easily build efficient or kind of stupid but fun zombie traps with a twist that might be hilarious? Or tell your audience something about the history of this game or take your time to speak about the direction this game should be going in the future. "I'm doing tons of x anyways, that's why I don't need to think about it anymore." sounds like a fallacy to me. You maybe right, but what if it's not about changing what you do but how you do it? Anyways, have a good day! o/

[@capp00]

@@HeronHQ Sorry, I didn't turn them down, just that I"m already doing those kinds of dedicated videos on the youtube channel. And I typically don't stream the same game on twitch that I play on youtube, because I need variety in life :) Wasn't trying to "shoot your ideas down". Was just referring to Harris comment in the video. He mentioned having an idea before the stream and then hit that idea. Often times, when streaming a game, It might be the first time ever playing it, so planning on what to try and do/show is impossible. And often times, the tips given for ideas, doesn't work for video game channels. That's all.

[@isacgonzalez1]

Watch Ludwig, he is the perfect example of how to do this with gaming also

[@grownmanrecordnight]

I'm just an old man with streaming as a hobby/side hustle, but you're a motivating dude, my man. Thanks for the always solid content.

[@bonniecdraws]

I'm an art streamer and been applying this strategy for a few months now (mostly just speedpaints on shorts but I'm working towards more long form content). I will say it is a bit of a grind to do the KZbin thing, but as long as you can work on providing a value to others, it will work. You guys can do it! Also great video Harris like always!!!

[@Patterrz]

Been trying to do this more and the more comfortable you get with streaming and clipping the easier it is to create clippable moments on the fly

[@Khordmaster]

I’m a music streamer on twitch (and KZbin). I think you are spot on with having a plan to make a part of your stream be standalone. It is just so logical to use that time and set up as essentially recording time for your next video on KZbin. Excellent video as usual. You are great at what you do!

[@FlowCat]

You are the best my guy. Started my channel off the ground a couple weeks ago. Largely because of your advice. Keep em comin!

[@Alzorath]

In terms of short-form videos (Shorts/Tiktoks/etc.) - the "full video at X" tends to lead people into bad directions (too many small creators interpret it as cutting an interesting part out of a longer video solely to drag to a new video, which is bad - since it prevents the hook from spreading), a more effective redirect is a standalone short with "find more at X" - but yea, double-dipping content when possible is 100% a great goal to be going for. For those wondering how to "plan what you're doing on stream" - a really great basic way to do it, would be to plan a roughcut of a tutorial or plan a playthrough with a roughcut of a review - these are both fairly basic content types that are easily made on stream, and then repurposed into content. As you get more experience, and experiment a bit, you'll find a lot more templates that work for you at double-dipping this kind of content. And, if you learn your recording setup, you can multi-repurpose some content as well - doing a tutorial? you can also use that background footage in a review, you can use that background footage in a top 10, you can use that background footage in a comparison video with something else - so not only is that stream content being repurposed into more succinct videos in and of itself, it's also cutting down on the workload of your non-streamed content as well.

[@winterhillv4820]

Thank you very much for this response. Extremely helpful!

[@HOTDANGSHOW]

This is the PERFECT video explaining how you can broaden your horizons. As well, set yourself apart. I have been involved in this issue for a year and I am preparing to make this change very soon…

[@d.k.1974]

every time I check you out it's major value. some of the best for sure. cheers

[@mkirbymusic]

Much needed video! On the music producer side I’ve heard Chris Punsalan talk about this being how he makes the majority of his KZbin content nowadays

[@jBahrVR]

Amazing advice. I finally have started to hit my stride with my content, and I think I am in a good place in terms of providing something unique that most people haven't seen before. Just need to work on my efficiency and getting clips live instead of having to rewatch everything after. Good stuff as always Harris! 🍻

[@ACDoesIt247]

Harris, love your videos because the titles seem like clickbait but then they have actual great tips in them. Well done sir.

[@Tarapeutic]

How many editors do you have? What is the best way to go about finding one? At what subscriber count would you recommend looking for one? Is it a good investment when you're making under 1k a month from ad revenue? Thanks!

[@ThatNerdChris]

Can't wait for part 2! This has me wanting to stream again! 😆

I just started this gaming channel for Halo Infinite thank you so much for the advice on streaming etc brotha its much appreciated for us new comers to YT and Twitch!

[@joshuaquinn1215]

I really need to start doing this. I just don't know what makes good YT content that I can do on stream without feeling goofy or getting some sort of stage fright! But I also am learning that I just need to try new things!

[@bigbradsk]

This is how I feel as well. I stream almost every day and have a pretty solid 10-20 consistent viewers that I’ve gotten to know pretty well but even with them I’m nervous to try making time for “youtube” content

[@joshuaquinn1215]

@@bigbradsk Exactly! I think I just need a segment in my stream where I do something different. I'm looking at other streamers who do this kind of thing (I think to Ludwig and Atrioc) and they just have a segment that is specific to YT content. I talked with my wife (whom I stream with) and she thinks we can set it up to play games like Geo-guesser, human benchmark, or discuss a movie trailer/topic we find interesting and use those segments. I think it would work out really well, I just need to get over the stage fright. Fortunately for me, I'm streaming to a max of like 5 people at any one time, so nothing to lose, right?

[@bigbradsk]

@@joshuaquinn1215 i think that could be good! As Ludwig says though just make sure you’re doing the yoink and twist! I’m still thinking about how I could switch things up and make it my own. I personally just started a second clips channel and I’m gunna just keep at that until I get good enough ideas for a main channel!

[@mickerzmouse]

Holy balls what you said about content optimization is brilliant! I had been thinking about it all wrong. Thanks for that!

I honestly love seeing the progress on your space ☺️

[@cooperonair]

You'd be an incredible consultant. Thanks for the wisdom! I'm anxious for part 2.

[@KRXOVRmedia]

This resonated and was right on time for me. Although I do not stream, I make youtube videos and I have been thinking about ways to integrate shortform content into my strategy.

[@drakonardo4003]

Honestly I'm very interested in seeing the second part and I love the fact that you talk about doing an idea/interest prior to any type of gaming if that is what you are going for in your twitch channel. I've started to think of my stream more in sections now with an intro portion that involves something outside of gaming then the game content which is more "filler content while talking with chat but exciting things could happen here too, followed by an outro too. A little planning can go a long way!

[@GSXHeckler]

Been struggling for a while with what I really want to do in this creative space. Thank you for being real. I started off wanting to just stream. While playing around in Adobe CC for simple graphics and edits, along the way I realized I actually loved creating content more than streaming. Your videos have helped me feel comfortable with streaming less and focusing more on content and getting better at that. This video helps me add that new focus to when I go live again. Thanks for everything and the advice on how we can make ourselves better at what we're trying to do.

[@Kiddlatized]

[@pikerms]

I want to point out how real you seem in these videos. I am confident that if I ever met you, the same quirks and unique attributes about the way you speak in these videos would come out in person as well. I feel like that is a very important trait, talk on your videos the way you do in real life else you might sound fake and people will pick up on it.

[@SkatMaster]

i like the echo it sounds real and the green screens a good idea aswell so theres a over arching back story.

[@Faber_gs]

Awesome video, I’m in the process of rebuild my channel from the ground up because it’s not doing that great, this video helped me a lot to start planning things up! Keep up with the great content!

[@smirkstudios]

Great video, Harris... definitely makes me think. I have these other talents and all I really do on stream is play games. The games I play I am good at and are good for growth, but I can see that burning out one day, whereas my other hobbies and things bring me joy and fulfillment, which would extend to my audience.

[@Carrieplaysgames]

I recently started live streaming to go hand in hand with my youtube channel. Had to can cancel my last live though due to having a cold. I've been playing mostly single player horror games. One I edited down into a youtube video. The other I uploaded as the full live atream to advertise I have a live stream channel on twitch. With me just reaching 100 subscribers on youtube I was looking for ways to improve my channel where I can and make my live stream interesting. As soon as you said hobby I thought about the fact I play ukulele and also that I love to make crafts of different kinds based on gaming. So i think i'm gonna have to look into ways I can incorporate those hobbies into my content. Xxx thank you for the awesome advice.

[@AndyCormierYT]

100% some of the best advice most streamers need. I went the exact opposite direction though - I started with videos, and my perfectionist brain makes 5x more speaking mistakes when recording a video than when live. So, I converted the topics I'd make videos about into streamed-essays and discussions - IE. Reviewing an Ocarina, discussing a topic about creativity, and then gaming. One stream would typically have 2 planned 30-minute topics, and I would get 2 10-20 minute videos + 3-5 shorts per 2-hour stream just by optimizing planning AND execution. And each video's performance is just as good (if not better) compared to when I didn't stream at all

[@plvna]

really appreciate this video & you for being so willing to share so much knowledge with us, while others gatekeeper/charge it. have been thinking of creating content for 8 years now, even made a at home tutorial back then from my ipod 💀 couldn’t pursue it since life hardships had been nonstop but i’m at a point in my life where mentally i feel capable of streaming! Money’s tight but I have an idea where to start and how to take it where i need to be, grateful 🙏🏼

[@HockGaming]

I think the hardest part is setting yourself apart from others

[@aj6761]

Nail on the head right there. With 8 million streamers out there, being unique is a tough one. Harris and those like him have been content creating since back when it wasn't popular where you could potentially carve out your place. HH gives great advice tho and I appreciate his content.

[@what5updoc220]

Idk if you've done this before but a topic that never get talked about Is more of the financial side of streaming like best app to use for donations or bits or doing taxes with this job, are you a contractor or are you a worker in a business if your affiliate and so on

I know you touched on it in your TikTok content video but a breakdown video would be a massive help! I'm sick of cropping in so far that I lose quality!

[@nolacsinskills]

This is good advice, of course. But it's also being made to sound too easy. "Just do this and grow", "just plan your stream around making extra content and grow". As someone who has a full-time job and a family to take care of, this is nearly impossible. With an already limited time to stream, those 5, 10, 15 min extra adds up a lot during the week. And then finding the good parts in your vod, editing and cutting it takes up even more time. Also, these people can afford editors and other people to help. Why wouldn't they have multiple channels. Like I said, it's good advice and it might help to get you noticed. But not everyone have time to do it. But to all of us out there having fun with streaming etc, good luck!

[@ryandary]

I'm getting REALLY comfy with turning streams into good content. My problem is editing, and focusing on editing. I swear once I get medicated (ADHD) it's OVER. The biggest turnoff for me if TikTok's scaling for iPhone 11+ displays (zooms to fill screen, cutting off the left and right sides), and how it messes up my edited-in assets. I've begun just making my edited TikToks in 19.5:9 aspect ration for iPhones, which 16:9 devices will just zoom out a bit, or cut off the top and bottom a little. Jokes aside, I've begun gathering obscure VHS tapes and watching them on stream with everyone. There are tons of funny moments, but usually the content on said tapes stir up some really cool conversations. We watched a documentary on the 60's, full of firsthand video from major events in American history, with almost none of it happening through the lens of nationalism. It started a conversation about how many of the same issues plague America today, exactly as described, without the distortion of rampant nationalism atop it all. I don't avoid politics, and encourage discussion, so we all had a pretty decent time going over it.

[@SnowyBlizzard]

I personally love that hoodie👀

[@tzebra]

To be fair, not all small streamers just give up. I may be the .001 exception in that 'live' content was sacrificed as sitting that long aggravated actual injuries from combat actions, many years past. As for the rest of what you said, (and as another has mentioned below,) it would be interesting to hear and/or see how you are exactly doing and/or applying your advice.

[@viliambena6767]

the problem becomes instead of making some quality content everyone just want to pump as much content as he can as fast as he can to earn the most amount of money he possibly can, and then if you look at sheer content quality its quite sad and it leads to click bait, fake, staged, everything to get viral

Fortunately my streams have structured around on what im doing and subtle progression storytelling(it helps with the idea) using video chapters on my streams, with some shorts and 5-10 minute clips in between, but i still feel inadequate. a bunch of what ifs and such. i also feel splitting my channels when im still microscopic would be a terrible idea lol.

[@TheCrimsonCountessJinxie]

But what about those of us that don't want the same content on all platforms? I've started a YT channel with very different vibes to my twitch. People always talk about "diversifying content" but reposting the same content doesn't seem very diverse to me. Of course it's all different for what each individual wants out of each platform but I hope stuff like that will be covered more in the future. Like how to do that more time effectively. Love what you do Harris. Even if you hate cats ;)

[@TheRealAlpha2]

While I take issue with some of what he's saying, I think the point of having content on different platforms is to give people a sampling, or at the very least the people who aren't watching your stuff on say KZbin or Twitch, a chance to catch it on Instagram or Tiktok because that's the platform they frequent most. You gain a following on that platform for the same content... Unfortunately that 5-10 minutes for his editor is more like 20-30 minutes out of the day per video for regular folks without editors, time that could be spent making more content that we already have enough trouble making if they arent already doing it full time.

[@TheCrimsonCountessJinxie]

@@TheRealAlpha2 Yeah I 100% get that. I'd probably add those little samples to IG/TikTok (even though I hate the platform) or Twitter but would try and keep it away from YT as it's not the style I'm going for. Yeah, I've been learning editing myself and it's taking a lot longer that Harris has quoted for these edits. But the more you do it, the faster you get. I've always loved Harris' content just sometimes things aren't quite as easy as he says.

[@kylesgamesquest]

I'm curious your thoughts on Let's Plays, Longplays, Walkthroughs, and No Commentary Gameplay as video content.

[@itsbrenn]

I don't think you can go into any type of content creation with the goal of making money or becoming famous. Whether you're a streamer or a KZbinr or even a social media influencer. You have to do it because you love the creativity that goes into it. I think something a lot of content creators struggle with as well is they make content that isn't who they are. They see top streamers and KZbinrs and want to mimic their style because it's obviously been successful. But if you're not being yourself and playing to your personal strengths when making content not only will it be hard to grow, you're just not going to enjoy what you do. Sure if you have an acting background, maybe you can do this. For me? I can't. I'm just myself if my live streams and in my KZbin videos. When you're a small creator, it's probably not you're full time job anyways. So sure, if you've been able to support yourself with content creation and you need to switch some stuff up to match the trends so you can pay the bills, go for it. But when you're small this is the time to start figuring out who you are on camera or on stream. I don't have a ton of experience with the creation side yet, but the creators I like are relatable and nothing feels forced. That's what I think everyone should try and emulate. Once a viewer picks up that you're just trying to snag views, it's a real turn off.

[@PartyArti23]

So true

[@TheRealAlpha2]

I totally agree, when I look at the first 4 or 5 comments on this video and see all verified checkmarks I have to start wondering if this guy with the fancy hair and specifically constructed streaming room is even meant for me to be watching. No offense to him, it's clearly working out for him, but there's a missing link situation here where most of us are still hitting things with bones and he's using heavy construction equipment.

[@masterpig5s]

I wish there was a way to have groups or something. As in, I want to keep everything on one channel but have different kinds of content. Almost like 2 or more channels under one roof - except I don’t want to make multiple channels, yeah.

Hey Harris, can you do an in depth video on setting up multiple channels on youtube? I wonder how hard that would be. Would that require me to hit the monetization threshold on each individual channel?

[@supremacy98]

What is the best editing software would you recommend? I would be interested with uploading videos as I slowly start streaming, but I’m not the most tech savvy and just wants a free basic video editor to cut large VODs down, add some transitions here and there and maybe some text too

[@PathForger_]

0:20 - If KZbin fails to introduce play-list level (un)subscriptions and analytics - allowing content creators to diversify without hurting their existing pillar(s) of content - then yes, what you say will come to pass. If KZbin 'does' improve its platform to be a little more consolidation friendly - then no - we won't see so much of what you mention at this point of your video. They are unlikely to as KZbin is very comfortable with most content creators remaining below their arbitrary thresholds for YPP. 5:10 - This is where you speak of what I call bandwagon-following - the unspoken open secret to succeeding on KZbin. Identify the updraft and ride it. Identify the host and latch onto it. Hyperbole a facial expression, mention a celebrity and talk about a saturated topic for a few minutes. Not every person has the stomach to do it and that would be OK if KZbin didn't heavily favour such 'content'. If I sound tilted it is because I am (and not at you - 0:20 sent me down a dark path).

Do you have any videos or could you do a video on some of the topics you just spoke about how do you stream how do you cut up a video how do you break it down in the little bits being that I'm going to be new to streaming I want to try I have no clue on how to edit that you know where can you throw a little tidbits for recommendations of that thank you again you're doing a great job and congrats on the new setup happy holidays

SHORTS may bring subs but they literally bring zero revenue. They also hurt your long form content.

[@yarrowwitch4225]

What would you suggest as an alternative?

[@Shoxth]

First Nice Video Alpha !!

[@brandinimmo7837]

Excellent!🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@jeffdorris5321]

Nice work 🎇✨

[@gamrinsanity]

@alphagaming what if I'm already doing this but on a single channel?

[@infinitelegends4588]

Harris: I know 5 KZbin channels seems a bit excessive Me: *Laughs in CaptainSparklez*

[@KDX-uc1lx]

I read online Twitch viewership is down 20% since May. Dont know if thats true or not but I would like to hear you speak more on why the big viewership drop happened.

[@ItsBLES]

Probably because several large streamers have left to go to another platform.

[@Tigernemesis]

Great video! 👏 Sadly for me though, I created a second KZbin channel dedicated to shorts (84 of them since September) and didn’t really see any growth. All the clips where good/badass moments from streams but, it didn’t get anywhere (even with editing/tags/etc), and I would put hours into editing all of them… I’ve since deleted the second channel & put all of my shorts on my main channel, but it seems like everything I do doesn’t help. I create content, I have a streaming schedule, I engage with the few viewers that come in and I don’t see any growth. Probably wasn’t meant to do this then 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@winterhillv4820]

Have you tried to put your shorts on TikTok, Twitter or Instagram instead?

[@Tigernemesis]

@Winter Hill V • I have! 😃 Even so, not the growth I expected...I'm not trying to sound greedy when i say this, just ambitious 🤔

[@Careless620]

Twitch isn't easy to grow on, what's crazy is as a small streamer myself I've had more success on Facebook that I ever had on twitch

[@awesomeboss2020]

I'm also a small streamer/creator, and I get more views on a KZbin Stream VS a Twitch Stream. Haven't tried Facebook yet

[@koenignero]

THATS WHY NO ONE SHOULD ACCEPT AFFILIATE!!!! ReStreaming is essential!!!!!

[@awesomeboss2020]

@@koenignero I've never tried ReStreaming or Streaming on multiple platforms at once. I think Harris generally advises against that lol. I think he wants us to focus on streaming on 1 platform if we're trying to stream lol

[@monopolyn]

@@awesomeboss2020 Kinda torn about restreaming. Devin Nash highly vouches it

[@awesomeboss2020]

@@monopolyn You can do that, I'm not the rule maker here! Lol I'm just following Harris' advice Personally, I already struggle a bit tryna keep up with the comments on KZbin Livestream Chat when I stream. It'd be even harder for me to manage 3 separate conversation chat boxes (KZbin/Twitch/Facebook) while streaming, but maybe what you do when you stream, would allow you manage all that. That's just me though, you don't have to listen to me, or do exactly what I do lol

[@WhoopsyouGaming]

I knew all this already. My question to you is where to find an editor to get started? Does your editor go through your vod and chose the parts they think would grow? or do you just primarily send the clips over? Could be a combination of both. I'm also curious on how you what you guys recommend on using for sending and receiving files. Most people I've worked with have used Google drive.

[@Zacrakgaming]

Love this and thank you and where do I get that sweatshirt

[@TheN3llee]

@Alpha Gaming I'd love to see you guys take a no name streamer spend a few hours a week for like maybe a month and then track the growth and success of the streamer and their content and then truly show just how valuable you and your teams knowledge really is. Sorta put your mouth where you money is kind of thing. Don't get me wrong. I love the channel (s), the info you share the products your review. I love it all. Just think it would be a cool concept.

[@JD_83]

I like this idea and volunteer as tribute.

[@MattyB-007]

Hey Harris and crew. I was wondering if you guys have done a video on how to make your outro in Davinci resolve?
