Why You Are LOSING VIEWERS on Twitch

[@xTwoShoes]

Drop by my Twitch channel and ask me anything! www.twitch.tv/xtwoshoes Thanks for watching!

[@SpookyDeer]

Really resonating with 6:36 - I'm currently planning a 2 year celebration for my time on Twitch and I've specifically steered from calling it a "subathon" and am trying to build in free ways to keep the clock running so that people aren't feeling pressured to spend money to participate in the fun. Definitely key to look after the people that are hanging out with you every stream!

[@xTwoShoes]

Well said dude!

[@LorTheDestroyer]

I needed this. My numbers are all over the place just now and it took me so long to get to my average, it can be disheartening to see but I know I'm doing what I can to make my channel fun for my community!

[@danglax3882]

you can't lose what you don't have *crying in the corner*

[@koooll6333]

actually posted this on my birthday so thanks for the birthday gift! :D

[@xTwoShoes]

Happy birthday!

[@gnawteejepstv]

Saw this video and it just confirmed things I've been wanting to do for my stream like changing the time, do other content (music and art, reacts). Thank you for this video man. Glad I subbed!

[@SuperTaji]

This is really refreshing and reassuring to hear as a content creator... Thank you for putting out these type of videos, I am new here and you just earned a sub dude! :D

[@xTwoShoes]

You're so welcome! Thank you!!

[@spic3ynugz]

gotta say ive been watching your vids for a bit now and each one has helped my stream and tiktok/YT content. much love!

[@xTwoShoes]

That's awesome! Thank you so much!

[@annagriggs3238]

Love how you come up with a video with the answers to my questions right when i need them

[@xTwoShoes]

Psychic Dan!

[@0hmikegod]

This is happening to me right now. Great video

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you! Happens to a lot of people right now

[@DarthWakko_THF]

Good stuff. Looking at the big picture is something I see many streamers having a hard time with. Being focused on numbers for one stream or some other small period of time rather than backing up so you can see how you're still trending up (hopefully) overall. I'm even guilty of this from time to time. It's also important like you said to remember that some people don't have the expendable cash right now for as many frivolous things. The important thing to remember is to focus on things you can control. Question tho, if I may... I'm curious because I never see any of these videos from you or other creators say when someone might just have to face it that content creation might just not be their thing. Is there a point where one might need to look in the mirror and say "maybe I'm just not cut out for this"? It seems like most tip videos, if not all, are simply content to be encouraging and positive telling folks to "keep at it, keep grinding" when the reality is that most people won't make it as a content creator for a full-time job.

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I can't give you a definitive answer to your question! This time does come for some people for sure, but it is different for a lot of people. I would say, that if something is causing you more stress/worry than it is good times, it might be time to have that conversation with yourself. I think positivity can be a good thing because mindset is important but also, sometimes content isnt for everyone!

[@Yaslanagrey]

Dan over here making content that specifically applies to my situation. Bless you.

[@xTwoShoes]

A lot of people are saying this:) Just shows its happening to a lot of us:)

[@SpoodersWeb]

Dan this is a truly exceptional video! Why? because it speaks to how every content creator can feel and probably feeling right now, myself included! Every now and then we just need to give our head a good shake and this video helps to re-focus our efforts again! I think the key point here is that no-one is failing they just need to steer the ship another way to get to where they want to go!

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you so much Spooder! Appreciate it!

[@TKDPandaa]

i started right before covid nad was averaging 70+, now its past that time and everyone is back to normal life and now im averaging 20. still trying my best :)

[@roninstormYT]

this happened with me i went from doing rant videos some of my viewers told me too stop doing them they got reparative i was stuck at 65 subs but the moment i did lets plays and playing games from start too finsh i gained views new friends and i am now at 210 subscribers . also i am a variety content creator i dont stick too one game it rip your channel it happen too my friend he stop playing call of duty the moment he did gtav or fortnite and other games his views went bye bye and he no longer get subs

[@NutterTTV]

The sink part due to laziness is my issue. I been lazy because ive been sick and the last 2 months i still am not ok. I took a week off, im editing a video and im still not ok. I think some of us struggle with health issues that really hurt us. 😕

[@xTwoShoes]

I feel you. I hope you get better soon friend!

[@CatskillOne]

I never have that problem. What I do is just not have any viewers to begin with. Works every time

[@xTwoShoes]

:D :D

[@NerpWolfheart]

Here's my secret: I never planned my streams so that way, an unplanned stream is always the plan :p

[@xTwoShoes]

Big brain play!

[@AshTheDuke]

yes exactly same here

[@Yaslanagrey]

Hey look. Rallon and I are Famous now, right? (Chat in the first like 15 seconds)

[@xTwoShoes]

Lets gooo!

[@Wazoo123MC]

xTwoShoes: With place it you don't need to employ the help of a graphic designer to promote your streams Graphic Designers: 👁👄👁

[@xTwoShoes]

Ohh, I don't mean this as a replacement. I've hired designers multiple times in the past:) This is just a handy alternative for those who may not be able to afford hiring a designer themselves or wants to try do it themselves and lack the skillset:)

[@cpoin77821]

One of the huge mistakes streamers do is to run more than 3 to 4 ads for those who don’t sub. Some of them run up to 10 ads. What they don’t understand is that no other streaming service runs that many ads. I rarely watch twitch anymore because it is pure greed to run 10 ads. When I watched TV there were only a few ads and then the program resumed. I have lost interest in Twitch and so will many others. Kick is the new twitch.

[@xTwoShoes]

10 ads is wild! I haven’t seen that personally but it seems a lot. Not much of a kick fan but interested to see where it goes!

[@iReekofAwesomeTV]

This is at least the 5th time you have made of video of something that I was struggling with at that moment. Future Dan is real

[@xTwoShoes]

The future is bright mate:D

[@sleepfieldro]

its interesting that you said uve been lazy lately, cus i havent noticed that at all. i think it goes to show that ur high energy and clean looking streams go a long way!

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you! I think its been a bit more of a personal thing like "I could be doing more but Im just not" but thank you haha

[@WorldofMayja]

@@xTwoShoes Well Dan... your "could be doing more, but I'm just not" doesn't show AT ALL! I'm always watching your streams thinking, "Shoot - that's a great idea!" Even if it's little things like changing camera angles, adding VoiceMods, etc. Don't sell yourself short.

[@xTwoShoes]

@@WorldofMayja Thank you Mayja

[@wagonet]

always love the content my guy.

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you so much!

[@kyxxp]

20K by next year, you got this ;3

[@xTwoShoes]

Hope so!

[@p1aydumb280]

I just stopped caring about the numbers a long time ago. Have a niche channel in a oversaturated category. I just have fun and do what I want now. So have gone from 10-20 viewers to 5-10 and tbh more happier than ever.

[@xTwoShoes]

Exactly!

[@FranuxuMusic12]

"dont be lazy, try new things, are you a musician or artist? do that on stream" man this feel targeted at me HAHAH thnx as always for the vid!!

[@xTwoShoes]

Amazing haha go for it and thank youuuuu😊

[@megabiteyt]

Funny how I just ragequit on my first playthrough when I played with a skilled dude on my stream

[@xTwoShoes]
