TOP 5 Streaming Things I WISH I Knew When I Started

[@Senpai]

I'd like to thank that little section of hair for being the star of this video. What things have you changed since you started?

[@acid3719]

valuable sub btw

[@Blade23445]

Promoting on several different platforms would have to be one of the main things I changed. That and actually putting effort in thumbnails and creating video topics and goals on what you do for games

[@traegarcia6164]

I started looking into the camera when I respond to chat.

[@frostcoder]

I started thinking more about what be beneficial to the viewer than what I want when it comes to upgrades. I invested in some proper lighting since starting to watch your videos instead of using my ceiling light. I’ve put more effort into growing on other platforms and been more critical of streaming groups offering the chance to grow with them and have since left the communities that I realized were not going to actually help me at all.

[@shadowr2d2]

Thank you for posting. Very Educational, & helpful video's. I hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving..

[@stephenstilwell1488]

UPVOTE TO SAVE TIMES & LIVES 1. Your stream won't grow insanely quick or fast while you're live. Make KZbin content instead. 2. Networking doesn't work like you think it will. You can't network your way to stardom. 3. Quit chasing brands and sponsorships and ads. 4. Looking for shortcuts in growing your channel can backfire and hurt you. 5. Don't be afraid to put down the games and Just Chat!

I saw a video where the guy said even if you have 0 viewers it’s still important to talk. Talk to yourself, that way you get good at it. Then the next time someone pops into your stream, they’ll hear you talking and it’ll make them more likely to stick around. Because the content streamers give isn’t necessarily the gameplay itself, but the interaction with the audience and the interesting commentary they add

ive met quite a few people recently on twitch who streamed for 6 months to a year before having any regular viewers and even longer than that without having affil. ive met a couple that got affil in like 2 or 3 weeks. both of those things really put it into perspective that it can be a chance thing. it may not happen for a lot longer than the year even. but eventually youll have at least one person come in and say hi that you can start to build a bond with and more will follow after that.

[@MrTeeHee]

You're the guy that made me start my "career" by working smart. Now, a year later, I do 1-3 videos a week on KZbin(recently started with my KZbin channel), stream 4-5 days a week (scheduled) & I think I'm growing pretty fast at the moment. I would like to thank you for making these videos brother, they are appriciated! Keep up the good work man^^

[@MrTeeHee]

Update folks, I worked way to hard with the whole twitch thing so I burned myself out. Protip, dont do that haha.. I learned a LOT from it though. Even though this year has been rough with all the stress and recovery that I had to do, I learned a whole lot from it. 1. Listen to your body. If you feel stressed OVER a longer period of time, take a step back and think again. Is it really worth it to work this hard? 2. If it’s not ”fun” anymore, and its just a thing that you feel like ”you have to do”. Think again, do you really have yo push yourself right now, or can you rethink it all? 3. Idk, just take care dammit. I love you all. Thanks flr the support😍

this. i started streaming on twitch to use it as basically a screen share for my brother and sister who live away from me and in different areas from eachother. that was in like 2016... i just hit affil a couple days ago because i decided to keep doing it for fun and now there are probably 15ish people that i would say are friends that i met all through twitch that i regularly talk to and a fair bit more that i at least recognize the names of. its really cool. and if i never grow past where i am im honestly fine with that. it was all just for fun/friends to begin with anyway

[@introversy3927]

Well I already enjoying playing video games and a lot of my own reaction in games just crack myself up, so I say why not put it on twitch so ppl can enjoy my personality on top of the gameplay lol also it helps me to get out of my comfort zone, cuz I’m very shy I’m not looking to get famous or become rich, just a way for me to help and influence others the best way I can, I started making youtube videos first before twitch and I found it helps me out a lot to get comfortable talking in front of the camera lol

[@CatMuto]

I started streaming mostly because I wanted to get myself to keep 'working' on videos, without worrying about recording and editing, and more spontaneous stuff. And while I do want to earn some money by streaming, I don't want to make a ton. Just 'some'. If possible, about 100€ or a little above that would be great. A 'goal', if you will. Just so I can have a bit of money coming in while I'm unemployed, maybe help me get new/great games more easily so I can share them on stream again.

[@iamnobody9001]

Happy for you but know there’s thousands of other ppl who think the same thing

[@RefugiulGamerilor]

I find myself in the same situation, way to shy but i wanted to do streaming from long ago, and never got the courage to go for it until recently, a rlly good way to go out of your comfort zone though, but it's also very hard and maybe i will get discouraged in the meanwhile ~.~

[@jnim1000]

Good tip for you all, especially for someone who starting to stream. Know what your getting yourself into. It cost most to stream but not record(not much) . And even if you have the money to stream , it takes allot time, and commitment. Not trying to discourage anyone to give it up or not stream but warning those who are deciding. People want to see personality. If you want people to watch you play games, make entertain them. Show them excitement ,a show, play games and talk or play good , something interesting, be creative. Remember it’s a part of label you and valuing . If your doing it for money (it takes time and commitment) don’t rush into it , it doesn’t happen over night. Hope this help anyone of you all

[@jnim1000]

ProdiJ start with whatever u have man . You have to be consistent because the people who follow your stream and stuff they want you be like alright this guy stream is cool ,all the sudden your gone and you didn’t come back they look for another streamer to follow because they could be like you looking for followers too and they want to build up their stream. Be consistent. It depends on you and everyone else who streams, is it a job or a hobby?

[@jnim1000]

ProdiJ I see, if it’s a hobby you won’t make much unless u get from donations and tips. If it’s for hobby then haha just do it 💪

[@Sswineamer69]

I work quite a bit and was going to stream for fun. I'm not into it to make money but rather something extra to do when I play.

[@LauraJu]

​@@cilirhammersteel5515 You really should try and talk the whole time! I hate it when i browse other small streamers and they don't talk or just look at their phone the entire time. I talk soooo much nonsense like how long this loading screen is etc. and also I repeat myself very much haha since no one was listening to it before, no one will notice that i already talked about it... Hm i'm not sure about uploading whole streams to youtube. I think it's better to limit yourself to your "highlights" on stream. It might take a while to fill a 10 minute video, but imo it's much more worth than uploading all the awkward pauses inbetween. Something that just came to my mind (not sure if its a good idea haha), what if you send your funny segments or insane gameplay to a "Twitch highlights" Channel here on youtube. Your name still gets out there without having to stream for 6 months until you finally have enough material. Sorry for my long answer, I kinda got carried away

dont be something your arent, be yourself and try to enjoy it and there will be like minded people, also try to establish yourself and get a routine so people know when to tune in.

[@mattweigand9648]

also the same thing that works for one person might not work for the next, so keep looking if you really want to go somewhere

As a baby streamer these are some really good tips to keep in mind! I'm starting to consider Twitch as a serious avenue for expanding my music career, and trying to absorb as much advice as I can. I hit Affiliate within a couple months so I'm feeling optimistic!

[@LocalOnThe8]

I'm glad you mentioned Just Chatting. I feel like it's easier to grow in that category even tho it's saturated as hell. I see the average person scrolling thru JC streams rather than gaming streams. I know I find myself scrolling thru JC and finding new small streams. Twitch is becoming more mainstream and the mainstream doesn't care about games as much as the internet thinks.

[@bowhuistv7638]

I may disagree with his first point (at least in my case), something I've put a lot of thought into especially recently. KZbin should always be the priority, as far as exposure and overall algorithm. Long term, KZbin is king. However, for someone like me who doesn't have a job, I need to focus on whatever will produce the fastest, most efficient results. KZbin would take me YEARS to build up. (Trust me, I know it's never overnight success, I've already been streaming for nearly 5 years) So, if I devoted a huge chunk of time to KZbin (just like he said in the intro, its really tough to do both) i'd cut back on streaming. And for me, streaming is already going pretty well.. closing in on 1000 followers, so cutting back and devoting time to my youtube (which is maybe like 10 or 15 active subs who'd watch my content) would be counterproductive. My extremely biased opinion obviously, but feel free to share your thoughts in the replies! Any advice always helps, especially if someone is in the same boat as me. *Please don't sub to me or follow anything of mine, not trying to promote anything, just want advice & thoughts on my current situation*

Never follow for follow that’s my biggest nuub streaming lesson

[@atruerock8020]

"anybody but jake paul" lmao that caught me way off guard hahaha

[@SaintR34c70r]

1:11 Didn't exactly come true, but, pretty darn close. Glad you have the community you got. Much love on the YT move 👊

[@bluepuppy9863]

this was incredibly helpful! thank you so much for this video

[@nexumgames4253]

You should rebrand and start from 0 for a week or two and see progress.

[@BKDDY]

Dont make easy shortcuts to "go live" unless you dont mind startin your stream while naked. seen it happen to a girl i know.

[@mistermfmike]

i have a hotkey for it on my keyboard, but i am fortunate in that my computer isnt in an area that i would ever be naked in.. worst case (when i get a camera in a week or two i dont even have one atm) is that a cat hits the button and im taking a nap on my couch thats behind me. but thats not gonna hurt anyone other than the viewers watching me drool on myself :P

[@magnusth_5928]

"So stop spamming your links in my discord" LUL😂

[@wolflegendgaming8420]

I've been watching your videos for a couple days. and you managed to attract me. also you gave me hope. you just earned a new sub.

[@vinxzy4486]

Thank you so much for making a video and I stopped uploading for twitch but only 0-1 viewers and now I’m going to try and grow my other socials

[@florkiler6242]

I wanna make KZbin vids but I don’t know how to edit so I can’t! 😂

[@arieleo1703]

Practice bro, there are a lot of tutorials you can learn off, just try yourself some challenge

[@arieleo1703]

You can do it

[@MrGimms]

Thanks man, certainly sound advice. I've made a few mistakes. But watching this was refreshing and good for me. Brings you back and makes you realise what you can improve on.
