Streaming Skyrim and Fallout helped me grow SO much! Definitely helpful to find games with good viewership, but not thousands of people streaming it

[@xTwoShoes]

For sure!

[@SoloAdvocate]

I blame Stardew having a bunch of people streaming it now is on how often it is recommended. It basically became slightly saturated with low view count streamers due to it constantly being a recommendation for not being saturated. It is also just a fun game that still has updates occasionally as well.

[@okuriokami3487]

Dude you are dropping some serious truth bombs on your channel!! Watched this last night and thought "Okay lets give it a go", so I looked through and found a game I hadnt played for a few months but loved it so much. It had the exact criteria you had mentioned. So today I streamed it and for the first time i had 3 people watch about 90% of the 3 hour stream. And not just that, it was a game that made me really be myself and I was talking the whole damn time, was amazing. Dude thank you so much like you have been an absolute guide for me

[@xTwoShoes]

Yoooo thats so cool to hear! Glad you found some success with it:) Keep it up and thank you for the kind words:D

[@alexmason4223]

Stardew has a awesome community. Since I started streaming it, I randomly get people that hop in just to talk

[@xTwoShoes]

I am not singling out that game. I was just using it as an example purely from a numbers perspective:)

[@blackzexal4474]

Do you get any growth

[@nickevershedmusic8927]

I was honestly thinking about getting it on PC (have it on Nintendo) and trying to stream it, only problem I see is that I might get bored of it quite fast

[@HeyItsABird]

Wow this is an eye opener… I love games like Skyrim and tbh I’ve been looking for an excuse to replay it, I’ll give this a go! Wish me luck! Thanks for the help!

[@darthremy1802]

I plan on starting steaming this month, I was kinda leaning this way already for what games cause I want it to be a hobby first and I'm not good enough to do competitive multiplayer games. This video kinda helped boost my confidence, alot of other how to grow videos make me feel defeated before I start. That's enough to earn a subscription from me.

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you so much! Best of luck with everything!

[@clncrvl]

Geometry dash is a game that I really enjoy, and it seems like a good game to grow! It has a pretty small amount of streamers.

[@xTwoShoes]

Nice!

[@Textraaa]

I love streaming gd. Some days it’s super dry. But then some days I get 10-20 followers from random chatters. (And as someone who is already small, and doesn’t even advertise stream. That’s pretty good)

[@CYCOREplays]

Great vid. I've been finding growth playing Football Manager. It fits the bill perfectly according to your vid. Lots of people coming in to chat and ask questions which is great.

[@xTwoShoes]

Great to hear!

[@BigBossSnakeTV]

Thank you so much for your tips brother! I got affiliate it a few weeks back and currently focusing on viewership not on Growth but just improving my channels entertainment overall. You definitely gave me a very open insight on what I need to focus on next thank you so much I’ll definitely come around and hang out with you when you stream on twitch thank you so much brother definitely see you around

[@xTwoShoes]

Thanks so much bud! Best of luck with your stream!

[@BigBossSnakeTV]

Much appreciated!

Road to 4000 already! Go Dan! Btw I started streaming yesterday and broke the fear wall! :3

Road to 4000!! Thats crazy to think! Thats amazing, well done:D The journey starts here!

[@raw0nline]

What an amazing topic. Appreciate you fam!

[@xTwoShoes]

Appreciate you!!

[@geadhdachten9961]

I can add The Forest to the list, not the biggest viewer count, but some very loyal fans (you'll get a lot of backseat gamers though), streamers who raid the same category, I hit affiliate in no time when I started playing that. For more growth, you'll probably need something bigger, but as a starter, it's a great game. I've noticed that Stardew has a loyal, chatty community, but I have a feeling they are also less interested in other types of games. Great video anyway, find your niche, but make sure you still enjoy it.

[@LILNOSFERATU]

Can't believe I've never heard of Twitch Strike before! Either way, this was a really helpful and interesting method, definitely something I'll keep in mind! Thanks for the tips~ :D

[@switchunboxing]

It’s interesting that Skyrim did really well for you. A friend once told me that RPG‘s are not good for streaming. And I noticed he was right because every time I did, it did not go well. However, these were not western RPG ‘s. They were turned-based. Lots of dialogue and cut scenes. Skyrim has lots of dialogue but I guess Skyrim is way more unpredictable and stuff so it can create unique moments. I just started Dragon’s dogma and I was thinking wow I want to stream this! However, I am remembering last year I did stream at one time and it was not a very good stream at all. Farming games are cool and they are in my niche, but honestly they just seem a little too relaxing for me. I enjoyed crash bandicoot because there was a lot of stuff I could mess up on and it was high action. So people doing channel point redeems to make me close my eyes was pretty fun I thought.

[@darren_who1483]

This is super info for anybody starting out! Thank you and keep up the good work!

Thank you! Will do!

@@xTwoShoes thank you for the reply it’s greatly appreciated. I’ve been watching your videos for about a couple of months now and it’s really been helpful. I’m trying to do better as a streamer and gamer.

[@CStormakaCyberstorm]

Don't become an affiliate! Wait till you can be a partner. Affiliates on Twitch have like non benefits...

[@sir_decarlos3285]

@@CStormakaCyberstorm whoa I didn’t know that thank you for that 🙏🏾

[@CStormakaCyberstorm]

@@sir_decarlos3285 Np man! There are several videos on KZbin explaining why it's bad to become affiliate when you are growing. I sadly did the mistake. The contract you sign as an affiliate says e.g. that every content on Twitch you create is 24h exclusive for Twitch only. No multistream, no best of moments right after... And you earn way less from advertising than a partner does (:

[@ravholly]

I've kinda looked at doing this but didn't quite put it together, thank's great video!

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you!!!

[@Brad6396]

Thanks so much for the info! Just stated streaming this past month and I'm trying to figure out what I need to start streaming. This definitely helps. I'm so close to affiliate!! I'm sure this will push me over the edge.

[@xTwoShoes]

You can do it! Thanks so much!

[@8BallVJ]

The beat is cold bro 🔥👌🏾

[@FalkorBrenton]

Thanks Dan! This might actually help me gain some viewers possibly? 🤨

[@thatsallfred]

Regarding to your first point I would like to add a critical note. I followed this method as well for a bit playing Spelunky 2 on stream, which statistically seemed smart. Not a lot of streamers, quite a lot of viewers. Thing is, this one Korean dude that was extremely good at the game took up about 80% of those viewers. So don't look blindly at statistics - there is some traffic you will never get from other people! / edit Ok - I obviously didn't finish the video before writing this comment lol.

[@xTwoShoes]

Haha thanks for finishing it:)

[@Korvuss]

As always great vid Dan, surprisingly I think you mentioned this during one of your streams and I started doing this a while back and it is 100% working for me even though i do alot more horror !

[@xTwoShoes]

That's awesome to hear man! Glad its working for you:D

[@imjustdre4706]

I've been trying to research a game that I could build a community with. Appreciate all the tips! Super helpful! Keep it up 👌

[@xTwoShoes]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@switchunboxing]

I love that you are doing like a funnel method with this. Then you were looking at how can you be better? Look at the title! That’s great because I have been fairly successful in Instagram, just now crossing 10,000 followers, and with hashtags and content, the final is exactly how I do things. Do you want to rank high in the low volume tags so you can rank higher in the higher volume tags and it just climbs up from there

[@kaandiddygaming7766]

I always look forward to these every week, so helpful

[@xTwoShoes]

That’s so kind! Thank you!

[@OVERKLOC]

Great video! Glad you didn't just throw out a list of games but instead showcased the approach to take for selecting the games that are best to stream as they are constantly in flux Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you:D

[@PandaUK]

Tysm i had no idea i was just picking games that i like.

[@xTwoShoes]

No problem!

[@PhillipLemmon]

I get what you're saying but I think you should just stream what you like to play. Or before you hit go live pick a game that you have wanted to play for a while, that way you capture the enjoyment of playing the game as well as streaming it. Just my opinion of course, lol

[@xTwoShoes]

For sure:) You HAVE to like the game you pick 100% but also helps if its doing good numbers:)

[@photonphantom535]

another good one to do is Minecraft dungeons

[@rhinoralph]

this channel is hella underrated

I don’t have steam on my laptop and I don’t have a pc either and any other apps…and I don’t know any games or idea how to use or do this with all the and I am trying to get a pc, and other stuff and get into gaming, and other stuff like ASMR, voice acting, cosplay and role playing as well and I don’t know what to do to get started with this and I made a second KZbin channel and I just need some help and to get started.

[@switchunboxing]

I don’t know, my fortnite stream was very very successful. However, it was a multi player stream, so people probably join because they want to play. By the way, is it typical for multiplayer streams to be a lot more popular? I do them once per month but if this is some type of benefit or secret, maybe I should do that more often. Because they’re always a lot bigger. However, they do come with less chatters because a lot of the viewers come from the people playing the game with me, not to mention if I am playing multiplayer games with people, I’m not super present to be able to reply to the chat. And I don’t like that

[@xTwoShoes]

I think if its something you enjoy and the chat enjoy I dont see any harm in it:)

[@switchunboxing]

@@xTwoShoes I read this in your voice hah! But as far as viewers enjoying it idk I didn’t think so but I guess so if the view count is high. Then again I thibk those are mainly players but idk

I kinda stopped streaming online co-op games cause its so repetitive,am more like a story adventure kinda gamer, but times have changed and we cant stream whatever we like🙉(to get viewers)

[@nathanwatts2909]

One thing I noticed a lot in this video is that you mention having better titles than other streams, what would class as a 'better title'? Do you have a video on this? If not then do you think you plan to make one on that subject? Otherwise great advise.

[@xTwoShoes]

Thank you! I actually do mention this a lot in my How To ACTUALLY grow on twitch 2021 video:)

[@flostack]

(Btw i havent started streaming yet) Sp what i thoguht was a gpod plan was playing games that didnt have WHOLE lot of streamers and veiws (like an older game maybe), but had a decent amount. Then play those games to gain that small community and then grow to more popular games or different topics and stuff

[@xTwoShoes]

Trial and error! You could try that for sure but I would recommend definitely trying a game with some amount of viewership!

[@RY3G]

High viewership, low amount of streamers on the game ✌️

I’ve actually been streaming Skyrim. But I wonder should I stream it to the special edition or just the normal one (my Skyrim is special edition but they are basically the same )

[@Frostyrnb77]

What would you consider as very under saturated in terms of numerical estimate? I used to do a lot of Nintendo/Retro games, but completely switched over to JRPGs (I wasn't having fun anymore with doing Nintendo/Retro games). Majority of those niche JRPGs games I've been doing have a following of 25k-60k while other popular JRPGs like Persona around 70k-139k.

[@nickevershedmusic8927]

But people forget that you can sort low to high?!

[@Kodywit-AK]

how often should you change games or should you stick to a game for a couple of weeks?

[@xTwoShoes]

Typically until I finish it or get bored:)
