[@PixelCat]

I've heard you say it before but that whole speech you give about streaming and making content even when you don't want to has really stuck with me these last couple weeks between planning content, editing and trying to balance other social media. Even if it's a little bit it's more than I was doing before when I was feeling demotivated. You're a really motivational guy. Love your videos man. Keep it up.

" you cant fake a personality on twitch" Dr. Disrespect : allow me to introduce myself

[@TheNerd]

i think dr. disrespect is dr. disrespect. he is the personallity dr. disrespect on stream. he is not himself on the stream. just like good actors in hollywood do a complete fusion with the role.

[@GarrisonBurrows]

Dr. Disrespect isn't a fake personality, he's a made up character to make his streams unique

[@gemoxcore]

@@GarrisonBurrows In a way Dr. Disrespect is an extension of Herchel's personality because it's something he created himself. He makes all the creative choices and decisions for the character.

you grow more off stream

[@kill-time2282]

Getting in discord games servers for finding other players to play with exposes you to some great streamers who may be the same or a little bigger than you are. This has netted me a few followers and viewers when I've played with these people, especially as we tend to do OK but the rapport you make with them and fun you have is the winner that viewers IF they see you, wins.

[@saiyangodtim711]

I wanna start making more YT videos, but the thing that scares me away from YT is what is defined as "original". When YT first came out, it was easier to create unique, one-of-a-kind content that people want to see. Nowadays, there's content on YT for 99.99% of things that exist/have existed. Where does discoverability come into play if you're essentially growing two platforms from the ground up? Great video as always Harris!

[@pineapplegaming2544]

Tim Conte while yes KZbin does have many sections covered, getting discovered is all about your personal actions and personality. You are right, doing the same thing as someone else won’t get you noticed. Try and put yourself out there, try and do something crazy that people will click on out of curiosity.

[@chrismeyers5963]

Absolutely agree, especially with complaining about your financial situation, it seems a lot of small time streamers tend to do this, especially female streamers, if they see gaming isn't helping, then they go to the more extreme, showing tits and acting all ditzy and shit, really annoying lol

#3 E-begging

[@i2Shea]

The financial one is super annoying. A lot of people seem like they are saying 'feel bad and give me money!'

[@TheUnone]

Those are kinda ez

[@MalcolmCrouch]

Personally I've had 5min streams because my power cut because of financial hardship, I dont have a donation button and stream for fun, if I ever complain about financial situations it's from a place of exhaustion and I feel comfortable to discuss that with my viewers, i dont believe every streamer is baiting donations when they talk about financial hardship, as he said in the video alot of streamers and viewers dont socialize outside of streaming so if you have a moment where you talk about it then do it and dont judge, its ridiculous i, if I didnt open up about my situation I wouldn't have found out that one of my viewers was going through a rough patch paying a power bill where his power was cut for 3 days at a time, its thinks like this that create relivince bitween streamer and viewer as long as what you said that the streamer isnt useing it to farm there viewer wallets which is dirty asf

[@knapppers1608]

I feel you on the hating socializing thing. Being with big groups stresses me out so much. I have pretty bad social anxiety, but if im with 1 or 2 good friends then im fine. Video games and streaming definitely are more up my alley and feel so more comfortable. I love that you arent afraid to talk about stuff like that. As someone who just started streaming this week, videos like this are super helpful and for that Harris, I appreciate you!

[@iPersian021]

same here

[@bmwd4000]

Dear Alpha (Harris), I've been watching videos on and off all week long. I started binge watching them, hah. This content on your channel is amazing. It genuinely feels like not only am I watching something entertaining, but I'm learning. Learning is what this platform was intended upon (KZbin). I've been looking for something like this and it's honestly not easy to find. I can't thank you enough for the plethora of insight. I can't wait to see the comparison of microphone videos (unless I can't find it and you already made it). (P.S.) Good luck in Japan if you have not yet set out (or there now).

[@lara6683]

Yes! The host thing is true! Don't beg or angle for a host, because it will pick you up and drop you fast. A 1k or even a 10k host will make very little long term difference. You've gotta do the legwork.

[@joshstryker214]

I find it difficult to socialise in groups too. I find any meaningful conversation is taken over by who can talk the loudest and dominant with physical attributes. My response is to usually stop talking, and take a back seat. But this is not my natural way of being, so it makes me feel uncomfortable. Twitch for me levels the playing field, as viewers cant use there physical appearance to dominate the conversation. The streamer is in charge and that's where I feel most comfortable. Can anyone relate to this?

[@jobliar937]

everything except the physical atributes stuff

[@acullies661]

[@MorriganJade]

OMG! Point 5 was something I was looking for, because I was totally not even in the mood of compiling clips of highlights and had already ideas what I wanted to do on other platforms. You just confirmed it's better to not waste time on the clips and just find other type of content on other platforms than what I am doing on Twitch! Thank you so much!

[@DarthG33k]

I started implementing a "question of the day" on my streams. I'll ask a question related to the game I'm streaming, and then engage my viewers who answer. It takes a bit for people to respond, and some questions go over better than others, but it does help with viewer engagement.

Same, I was thinking the same thing. Especially for my niche, I like the Ludwig method where he streams a planned out KZbin video.

[@DarkViperAU]

8:00 Hosts/raids bump you further up in the game directory, increasing your discoverability. While only a small fraction of your viewers might say "I found you from a host", some will have found you because you were closer to the top of your games directory. It is not a silver bullet for a success, it's just one more thing that helps. You can usually see a boost in follows showing that impact. I know a person who was raided by shroud, he received 50 times the follows compared to their normal numbers. This is not insignificant. Additionally, hosts and raids from similar content creators are far more likely to generate people who come back..

[@PixelatedJem]

12:36 - 12:48 speaks to me. "The people who try the hardest, are the ones who grow the most" TRUUUUTH. I busted my ass for the last 2-3 years, from blogging, streaming, and social media, and it's amazing to see the growth.

[@Karasu416]

The host thing is super true. I've gotten a large host(for my size) of 1500 and it actually hurt my stream for a few months. About half of them stayed the entire next several hours till I finished, with about 50-100 of them actively talking and about 80 follows. None of them came back after that, and over the next 3 months just about any new follower I gained was cancelled out by all of them slowly unfollowing over the course of 3 months. Luckily, the newer followers I gained in the following months were more active, but if you were to look at my stats? It looked like I wasn't growing at all because it made it seem like I was breaking even, which for some people can really devastate your morale. Hosts are overrated as far as them helping streamers outside of the initial hype moment.

[@exotic4569]

I will say that number 5 depends on the platform. Sometime twitch highlight videos do really well. Sometimes they don’t. Instagram and twitter is. Dry different though.People loved seeing what they missed. On Instagram you can really build a following just posting clips from your stream similar thing with Twitter.

[@bertop307]

I'm really glad you mentioned the mental health thing in point number 4, because Mental Health is something I've been struggling with for years now. And I know I have to give it my all and work incredibly hard, but I oftentimes pushed myself into an even deeper depression. Since you mentioned that, I'll refrain from it and try to differentiate between "I kinda don't want to right now" and "This will hurt me if I do it."

[@ink3478]

You explains that so well that's exactly how I feel in conversations with more than 2 or 3 people. It becomes a big ego boost and a fight for dominance. Smh

[@xJsW116x]

Great tips man! I had a question I was gonna post here but you answered it as I thought of it haha! I do still feel like creating original content for KZbin will help a ton but I was worried because my plan was to do streams with stuff specifically tailored to be worthwhile KZbin content later for the times where Im just not able to be home to edit more. Glad to have a little reassurance in that!

[@CocktailsConsoles]

THANK YOU for your insight on “host” - a friend of mine would treat himself hosting as if he raided and wouldn’t hear that it was doing more for his channel than the one he hosted

[@SorensiCSteeL]

The great majority of my content on KZbin is footage from Twitch. Sure for my larger videos I make it more intimate and original by editing or talking to my KZbin audience at the beginning, however I've went from 1k subscribers to 73k subscribers and over 10 million views. I do still believe in some cases its always better to have pure original content on youtube like this channel does. But it does work. And like he said "There are exceptions to pretty much everything he said"

[@beetlesword1607]

I'm not even a streamer yet I watch your videos lol Really great content since both my hobbies are gaming and filmmaking 😊

[@TaiKahar]

Just started watching your videos and already watched a lot of them today. I totally agree on a lot of things you are saying. Currently building my own Twitch channel with a specific niche (a soccer manager browsergame in german language) with support of youtube videos. It is a lot of fun and I am in since January 2020. Recently upgraded my mic and will upgrade my lightning next. I wanted to thank you so much for the insights, tips and wise words. One thing I miss in your videos: Building, growing and cultivating a community. It's about communicating directly with viewers through other channels, helping them and giving them support for topics related to the topics or games you stream. For me, it is the key to build up my viewer base. This is of course not maintainable on a bigger scale (you can later produce videos about those things), but it helps a lot to build a stable viewership.

[@TiredToadSage]

Hey, I'm just starting out on Twitch after trying to convince myself that it's still possible to pay a bill with money I make from entertaining people. I've pretty much always wanted to be an actor or something of that nature, but I've been very intimidated by not knowing what to do or where to start. Your videos on mistakes for streaming and giving counter advice have been really helpful in building my confidence that this is a possible thing. I do have a few questions, though: What exactly is original content? Is it content that no one has done before or is it just content that I make for that specific platform? If I'm doing one thing for a game on twitch, but I know that isn't very clickable on KZbin, is it disingenuous to do something else in that same game for KZbin that I don't do on Twitch yet? For example, I do shiny hunts on Twitch because I can just hang out and chat while I look for Pokemon, but, on KZbin, I feel like doing content for competitive battles and news coverage would do better for me because most people don't seem to want to just sit around and watch me hunt for a shiny pokemon (and, I'll be honest, it's taken so many hours so far that I couldn't even post it to KZbin) with the exception of reaction content to finding the thing. And, finally, I saw in another one of your videos that a picture of myself is better than a logo, but having a logo is also very good, so where should the logo go? Should it be in my Twitch overlay, in my emotes if I ever get there, on my KZbin page? If you get a chance to reply to this, I'd appreciate your feedback and, even if you don't, I appreciate all the advice you've put out and counter advice to go with it so I can push myself in positive directions.

I'm so glad i found you. Just started and i get to learn all this before i even make the mistakes. Ive been posting your videos in my discord to help everyone. keep at it man. thanks :)

Nice to see another introvert express their experience when being in social gatherings. I love hanging out with a small group of known friends but never really like being in a big group of unknown people. Further to this I also can feel exhausted after trying to be social with people.

[@BugsyDan]

I've just had my first encounter with pushing myself so I could get videos out before a certain date, and I couldn't feel better that I got through it. I edited 2 videos for a total of 10 hours the night/day before I had to leave for a trip, but now I am able to get videos out on schedule until I get back. I am starting to take this seriously, and I couldn't have done it without your advice and inspiration. Thanks Harris ♥️

[@NathanKeysMusic]

I understand you point about not putting up twitch highlights to your KZbin channels, but one of the reasons i think its valid is that sometimes your audience wasnt able to see you on twitch on a certain day and to have that available for them to watch when they can is a cool idea so that they are still informed. Edit. Realizing after talking to Amethystkorn, you did say that there are exceptions to the rules and what i was talking about would be the exception to the rules so I see your point more clearer now :)

[@amethystkorn]

Not to be rude but just wanting to point out that Twitch provides that feature IF the streamer has VODs enabled. Why would someone come to KZbin from Twitch and why waste your own personal time posting something to another platform for something they/you can find on Twitch. That's the point he's making. He did point out that ofc there are exceptions where that type of content would do well here for some reason for some but for the most part we come to KZbin for a different type of experience, at least in general.

[@NathanKeysMusic]

Amethystkorn Nonya Fair point :) Just my perspective on someone who follows twitch people on KZbin and they show their twitch content on KZbin for those who dont have time to see them live. I forgot that Twitch allows VODs. I wasn’t saying that Harris is wrong about this, just going my perspective on it

[@amethystkorn]

@@NathanKeysMusic As someone who does come to consume SOME compilations (in certain situations), I whole-heartedly agree with you. Since I am also someone who has learned quite a bit how both work I wanted to add to the conversation by pointing out why, overall, I agree with what he says regarding this.

These are the REAL pieces of advice I want at this point. I agree with them 100%. The one area I feel there’s a lacking of discussion: if you’re only retaining 1-2 people from a host, maybe consider the way you react or respond to a larger host. There are funny/unique raid alerts, I use a custom one that I made. You can change your introductions, etc. Many things could be utilized to get better retention there. I know that was not your point, but just suggesting it as a possible topic for conversation in a future video.

I absolutely agree with everything in this list. The main ones that I’ve seen people doing wrong is just going live expecting people will find them, and also it takes WORK to get to where you want to be as well. And KZbin still has the best search algorithm today, so taking advantage of that and convincing good content can help tremendously

@@TheSmokedKarma "staying in character for 6 hour stream in unreal." It's not particularly hard. We're trained to play a character with certain peoples in our lives. At least most of us are. My work persona has nothing to do with my "at home" persona and I can hold that one well over 6 hours. If my work was twitch streaming, there's no reason it wouldn't hold true. That's the only thing in that video that sounded like bullshit (although I'm sure he believed it himself). You don't know someone because you know them on twitch.

Hm I’ve had such a different experience than you in uploading twitch highlights to KZbin. I stream to about 150 viewers and my stream highlights get good views, 5,000+. My subs appreciate being able to see the highlights when they can’t catch streams. But I upload daily, and twitch highlights are a very small percentage of my KZbin content. If I didn’t upload daily it might be different.

This was great. Just began taking this seriously, and full time. This was the video I needed to see. It re-enforced some thought's I already have been having. I'm picky with subs, but you made one out of me! Looking forward to more. Thank you!

[@MrSpwn]

I have to agree and also disagree about the posting Twitch Compliations to KZbin (and I know you say there are alwayse exceptions to the rules lol). I feel it depends more on the type of game you play and the demand for the game by viewers. For example, right now my main game is Hunt Showdown, and for a small, niche game like this, there is a decently large audience on KZbin wanting to consume that content and not as many streamers/KZbinrs providing that content. Therefore, a Twitch Highlight video for that can go a long way. But Fortnite... no. There is SOOOOOOOOO much Fortnite content provided by SOOOOOOOOO many streamers/KZbinrs that you're correct in saying that you can't just post a Fortnite Highlight and expect views. So, I argue that you should really reflect on the game, it's overall audience and demand, and how many people provide that content. If it's a game like Fortnite, then you would be wasting your time posting highlights. But if it's a game like Hunt then it could be worthwhile. But this also ties into the fact that you should enjoy the game you play. If you love Fortnite, accept the fact that you'll have to create original content to get discovered so that you can stream the game you love and be authentic while streaming.

I started streaming about 6 months ago, not for the "I want to be famous and make tonnes of cash", but more I already play games on a regular basis so why not stream it! I was not expecting the relationships I've developed, a nice surprise. Love the vids, I've taken a lot of your advice!

[@jordanbrown42]

WBG_RANGER went front 100 viewers to an average of 700 or so because of a tfue host .

[@yua7469]

Jordan Brown then he deserves the views, that means he wasn’t like the others and actually was entertaining enough to keep people in

[@Arkayjiya]

I'm sure that can happen when the style of the host perfectly match the taste of the viewers of the hosting streamer. But that sounds like a rare exception.

[@alexetchesgolf]

Love your work, mate. I'm currently in a rather unusual situation with Twitch and you're videos are really helping me! Thank you,

[@zonis2432]

Top-Tier Tips! Thank you, that changed my opinion on some aspects! #emiliaclarkenoticesenpaipls

[@tonesnaps]

i truly appreciate how blunt you are. thank you for not sugar coating shit.

[@DeathxNote]

Was literally watching your audio mixer video and this pops up on my notification.... You under my bed or something? 👀👀👀👀👀

[@TwinLions777]

One of the issues I have is people only coming into the stream to try and party up in the game. I don't really like playing with people I dont know. But it is hard to tell them no. But I have to in order to draw a line.

[@DansVlog]

Brah... mid roll ads, man... lame. Ruins the flow. Worse than having a door knock or a phone ring during a live stream.

[@gveltaine]

Woah. 9:30 I paused what I was doing to tell you I am so happy to hear this from someone else as I can relate to it perfectly. Thank you!

[@nalcarya]

Hearing you say that you stop talking around groups of people gives me so much more confidence that I can succeed in YT/twitch than anything else. Thank you ♥

[@amethystkorn]

OMG yes!!!! SO much of what you said in here is very true for my own Twitch journey! Twitch has literally given me a new life because I have a very hard time socializing irl cuz I don't fit into any "norm"! I'm moderately successful on Twitch (I get a semi-regular paycheck but am not "rolling in the dough") but the network of friends/acquaintances I have gained over the almost 5 years I have been on this platform has far surpassed any social interaction I ever thought I'd have. I have friends from all over the world and have even gotten to travel to meet some of them! I'm still learning and growing but some of these I definitely needed to hear, others I lived thru myself earlier on. I feel like I never really realized how lucky I am to have a niche (being a mental health & addictions recovery advocate) that helped to boost my "standing out" AND I learned by being a viewer/observer and building relationships FIRST. Thank you for being such an inspiration and making content to help other content creators. I'm a fellow streamer yet found you here, THEN went to Twitch; proving your point.

[@ghosthokage8368]

One day Emilia Clarke might notice you

[@fredflint7924]

I really like your background setup and the blue color. It was just enough to entice my curiosity but not enough to distract me. Btw. I am new to your site and from your you tube content, I have a feeling I will be eating up this advice. Keep up the good work! I hope to get into the social media world myself due to a need for a career change. I hope to catch up to your current content as well!

[@SCUBAGUYGAMESTREAM]

hosts do next to nothing exppplain that my dude who was hosted by tfue went from 35 views to 150viewers i mean....

[@fourshorelive9529]

he did explain it

[@Droberts290]

I really loved the information you give to the viewers and for those trying to breakout into twitch. I appreciate the time you take to show your struggle and how you’ve learned from your mistakes. Being new to twitch your videos really help. Thanks

[@lexforio836]

Im 2nd viewers, as always, love your toughts man

[@exosquare]

Great videos and advise. I do need to say that i currently use streaming to work through my Burn-out. I don't have a really regular set schedule, only two days that i'm on for sure, but not set a starting time.. I've been doing it for a month and i've noticed that when i start i sometimes ain't into it, but then some regulars come by and I start to be a bit more alive again. It's a bit meeting up with friends (that ya really don't know..)... So I don't stream to become populair famous or get rich... but since i started i have thought about how people grow and what kind of mistake someone can make... this video is a good help for them.

[@WP_DIYEverything]

As a fellow introvert, I feel you on social settings

[@Huntin4GamesChannel]

Been following since you got started with this channel and your advice has always been spot on! Keep it up dude! Also the extra editing effort you put into this one really shows, the overlays are amazing

[@elodanify]

That 1 instead of “!” In your title is making me uncomfortable

[@esatd34]

Still havent been fixed

[@Quiyum]

Still

[@johngiese7479]

I've only seen 2-3 of your videos, but the pure quality and transparency in them has been incredible. Helped me a lot with streamlabs & content creation as a whole. Thank you for sharing!

[@ryan.winchester]

I like that 5 years is a "very long time"

[@dinrubens9236]

i'm even not so interested in the topic? you just sound and look so good! it's such a pleasure to hear you

[@ianwatts6342]

The first mistake.. watching this video's first three minutes.. Holy cow get on with it. Use fast forward and skip the blather.

[@SalveyB]

THIS! THIS is exactly what I've been talking about with some other smaller content creators. DUDE, this is by far the most valuable Content Creator tips video on all of the INTERNET! [
