[@YertaPain]

These are all some great points and tips! I think the biggest one is your point on real growth happening when you aren’t actually streaming! Posting videos in short and long form are really important, I wish everyone the best of luck in your streaming career!

[@CpawsMusic]

Absolutely!! Have fun and get creative with it 😄

[@UrAwEsoMeFrIeNd]

I feel like all I ever get for viewers are art concept people trying to sell me designs and after a while now, it's getting annoying and demoralizing the fact that's all who I'm reaching.

[@CpawsMusic]

Those art sellers drive me CRAZY fam

[@DivineMatrixx98]

Same brother 🫤

[@BlameEcho]

Omg it is even worse on freaking twitter too! Like OMG they wanna talk smack after I say nicely no thank you I draw my own stuff.

[@Anima18911]

Lol I started streaming a couple days ago, and I've had so many of those bots

[@thekeeper8566]

I’m having the same issue. I even created a discord and they started flooding it with advertisements for their art. I want to ban them but then I would lose followers.

[@DroneDialogues]

You’re the best CPAWS. Great information with such an uplifting presence.

[@CpawsMusic]

Thank you so much Drone! You just made my day

[@xdrakewillxgaming]

Starting my streaming/content up now, thanks for the great video!

[@CpawsMusic]

You can do it!

[@playray1]

3:09 the graphic design sellers haha 💯🤣🤣🤣

[@CpawsMusic]

They're everywhere!! 😂😭

[@WatchMeAwkwardlyPlay]

Bro immediately got into roasting streamer titles....AND I LOVED IT!

[@CpawsMusic]

🤣

[@kuroi_hono951]

Thank you this really helps I'm a small streamer and its not easy

[@CpawsMusic]

Of course! Have fun and good luck out there 😄

[@Vicari0uslyGaming-tb4qm]

i got burnt out pretty bad, thanks for motivating me again :D

[@CpawsMusic]

You got this!

[@Father_Kodeine]

I went to go drink a cup a tea to fill better, and I am glad I watch this rather then an episode of something. This helped out thank you.

[@CpawsMusic]

You're very welcome 🙏

[@OgulcanWhoPlays]

Really helpful for a person who want to become a streamer and already tried Twitch and Kick to see what is going on there. In my best, I have 7 viewers in a moment on Kick with 32 followers. Never reached that point on Twitch because tons of people are there so you kinda need to step forward. I already got tired of uploading videos to KZbin because I made mistakes soo :/

[@CpawsMusic]

Thanks! I'd highly recommend going down the short-form content route for the reasons I mentioned in the video :D

[@OgulcanWhoPlays]

@ Yes definitely! I've also experienced that on KZbin. I was uploading an hour long videos and ending up with 20 views. When I upload my fiest Shorts, it got 13K views I was shocked 😅

[@CpawsMusic]

@@OgulcanWhoPlays definitely got to take advantage of that while ya can! but make sure to be strategic about it 😉

[@ToxicTV10]

timing on this vid is crazy

[@CpawsMusic]

Ayyyy

[@ross1158]

Great video. I’ve only been streaming and putting off the rest of the work, but I can finally change my twitch name due to 2 months policy and I’ll create socials and start learning how to edit. I’m fat from successful even though I’ve only been doing it for a month and I really want to step up my game because I think I’ll be good at it. Not many people watching at the moment, most of the time it’s actually just me, but I am not going to give up yet :)

[@CpawsMusic]

You got this in the bag! Especially when you start doing the additional work outside of streaming (:

[@DivineMatrixx98]

Insane good ideas well done bro.. Ty

[@CpawsMusic]

My pleasure homie! Have fun 😄

[@tayloredforcasuals]

Just starting out and those were the only chats i got aside from obvious bots asking me to join their discord so they could "give me an instant audience of 1000 viewers"

[@CpawsMusic]

Oh God those are the worst too!

[@wildchildentertainment2744]

Hey can you add chapters to the video, you did a really great job. It may help you see where viewers are needing help so you can make a follow up video.

[@CpawsMusic]

Thank you for the suggestion 😄

[@TheBooster09]

3:15 I had this girl join my twitch stream once and she tried to sell me her art, I said no because I already had an artist, and she kept going to try to get me. She then had the audacity to join my discord server and ask if people were streamers, she asked one of my friends how old he was, and she lied and said she knew me. At that point I had it, so I let my whole community spam her and attack her in my discord, she instantly left 😂

[@CpawsMusic]

God those art sellers don't know when to stop 😂

[@TheBooster09]

@@CpawsMusic Exactly, and don't get me started on the people who spam me to use their support a creator codes in Fortnite 😂

[@minstrels_live]

The bots are why I stopped streaming to Kick. KZbin has been the most engaging for me.. oh and TikTok.

[@CpawsMusic]

Heck yeah!

[@ljgetem]

this guy lowk knows game, you build your live streams from building your "video content" first

[@CpawsMusic]

Streaming is now content creating 😄

[@CageWC]

Hmm. Yeah, the crazy thing with bots/art sellers is they hit that follow, then ask the same exact questions lol. its easy to pick up on them, but yes, still annoying.

[@CpawsMusic]

They're the worst

[@Joseejuke]

Bro you da best thanks for the help dude

[@CpawsMusic]

I gotchu fam

[@redthe_bot]

One time I was playing fortnite with my friend, he was live and someone said that they do art for streamers and asked for his email, we both agreed it was a scam

[@CpawsMusic]

haha yeah they're EVERYWHERE

[@Weekend_warrior_307]

Understand how clips work but how do you extend the time duration? Mine is 15 and wanted 30.

[@CpawsMusic]

drag the trim bar when you clip it (after you press the clip button)

[@Lita1]

Yea they come in, chat, then say "Oh you have potential and I followed btw I can make your channel better with this artwork I do..." And it's like...50 of them...then when you reply "All good got the artwork already." They're gone and unfollowed...just like that...but you know it's only sadder in the beginning before the first 100 followers, after that them 50 are not as significant, as in the beginning 50 is vital for affiliate, which happens as long as you grind and put on a show, which you explain in the title and tags...also just be prepared for some 'shady' chatters too...thankfully the auto mod future is better and there's always the warning mod button, plus there's helpful mods out there too...but yea it can take a bit of a toll but you just gotta keep going...it's sad when you gotta ban the word 'Feet' as an example...and you know...them chatters...also playing a game covered normally...like...bit confusing sometimes but keep going and 'never give up' as John Ceaner says yes!!!!👏💡

[@CpawsMusic]

Honestly they're the worst! It's getting to be a huge problem haha

[@RandomRomanTV]

3:15 of your video ....funny because it happened to me yesterday , the first person to ever talk to me was trying to be my friend then wanted me to join there discord so they could show me there art and sell me a service lol

[@CpawsMusic]

Those people are the literal worst 😤

[@Dukemonster-qq5mh]

Bro is in the future 🦹‍♂️

[@CpawsMusic]

[@crazyscott21]

It happens to me all the time where graphic designers want me to buy their work

[@CpawsMusic]

They're the worst!!!

[@aaronwyrd]

Are there stats anywhere on conversion rates between viewers of short form like tiktok and Shorts going to twitch/kick? I keep hearing that shorts will help stream views but don't people just stay on their preferred platform, for example tiktok?

[@CpawsMusic]

So after much testing, you are correct that most people will stick to their preferred platforms. However, if your content overlaps with what you're streaming on Twitch/Kick/etc and the viewer also uses that platform, then they will likely follow your channel if you include CTAs at the end of your shorts etc. (i.e. follow me on twitch in the last 2 seconds of your short) - There's a lot of overlap between video platforms (YT/TT/IG) and Twitch so if they usually consume live content, then a lot of the time they also are a Twitch user as well. It's really a numbers game.

[@aaronwyrd]

@ ok cool. Thanks

[@LowKeyProductionz]

I don't know if you can help me. I'm trying to multi stream eventually but in the meantime start with tiktok. I just can't figure out the audio settings in tiktok from elgato wavelink

[@CpawsMusic]

Tiktok is low-key a pain to configure so I'm not sure how helpful I can be :/

[@victryroyale]

im on kick and i stream valorant but im getting no views and only have 20 followers what should i do, i only stream on weekends cus my parents only allow on weekends

[@CpawsMusic]

Multistream to Twitch and apply the things we talked about in this video (:

[@victryroyale]

@@CpawsMusic i multistream to twitch and yt aswell i didnt add in befor but still i get very little views

[@CpawsMusic]

@@victryroyale Apply the tactics we talked about in the video - simply streaming and going live with no plan is not enough

[@Kwizzle9]

Yoo you called it. Them graphic designers bruh I think sometimes they’re actual viewers that’s interested😂😂I am wrong every time

hahaha they drive me nuts
