  • Starting a Twitch channel essentially means you're going to be trying to grow from 0 viewers, and that is okay! It is incredibly difficult, but everyone starts somewhere! Today we're going to cover 32 easy tips to help you grow your Twitch channel from 0 viewers!
    You can expect To Have 0 To no viewers for your first stream or week, I want you to turn off the viewer count, and Stream Like You Have 100s of viewers for two reasons, first to build up your confidence and practice your skills as an entertainer.
    You need to think about EVERY SINGLE STREAM as if it is producing content for other platforms, if you sit there waiting for a single viewer before being entertaining, just playing a game zombie-faced, then you are wasting your time.
    You need to stream with the idea of making content for Tik tok, Yt shorts, instagram, full youtube videos, and any of the thousands of other platforms.

    How To Grow On Twitch?
    If you want to grow your Twitch stream, it is important to be critical. Being critical isn’t a bad thing, people say, “Oh don’t be so critical of yourself!”.
    But there are a lot of things you can control and improve, such as your visuals, audio, and most importantly your content that you’re creating. Watch back your VoD and be honest with yourself, is it up to scratch. Does your mic sound good? Are you engaging? Is it easy to watch and enjoy or is there something that is off-putting? Be honest, push yourself to grow, and become a better entertainer!
    Because at the end of the day, the only way you are going to grow your stream is by growing yourself and being critical in a positive way.

    What Bitrate And Settings Should I Use For Streaming?
    The easiest way to understand bitrate is by calling what it actually is, your upload speed to the Twitch servers.
    Now you’ll need a higher bitrate depending on how high quality you want your stream to be, this means 1080p 60 frames per second will need a bitrate of 6000, which roughly equals 6megabits upload speed on your end being taken up
    By lowering your resolution and framerate, you can make it a lot easier to stream, for example, if you set your base canvas size to 1920x1080, but change your output to 1280x720 otherwise known as 720p you drop down to only needing a bitrate of 4500 or 4.5megabits.
    If you still want 1080, you can even just lower your framerate from 60fps to 30fps and then adjust to 4500bitrate.

    I really appreciate this breakdown; it's far more damaging to set unrealistic parameters and expectations for something than to face the facts surrounding the desired outcome, in this case, being seen, followed, and recommended to other viewers. I'm currently in that camp of hesitation, but that's a general problem I have with most things, something I'm working on. It's nice to see direct answers to complex questions. Thanks for this.

  • @thepaperraven

    As an Autistic person I really struggle with most 'how-to' guides because they're not actually good. They're super vague, saying things like 'learn to market yourself' or 'talk constantly'. Which are fine tips for people who don't need explicit instruction to actually understand what needs to be done. This video was immensely helpful as it had specific things within those categories that I can actually action. I've had some pretty decent growth already, but this will really help me go that step further. Thank you

  • @RicoGnized
    @RicoGnized Před 2 lety +106

    I think the biggest problem is, that many beginners don't watch their own stuff. Sometimes out of laziness, sometimes because they are aware of the fact, that they just sat there, stonefaced, doing nothing other than playing the game, while not saying a word.
    All you need to do, is search those streamers with 0-2 viewers. It's just sad, because some of them genuinely seem like pleasent, friendly guys...
    So to all of you out there. I think, one of the most important tips in this video is to ENTERTAIN. Don't look at the numbers. Just be you. Be silly. Make jokes. Sooner rather than later, someone will be in your stream, in your chat and be laughing with you.
    Oh and quick note: This channel helped me alot to take a step back and look on what I can improve on. So. Thank you for being out there, providing us little ones, with some really life altering tips!

  • @GSXHeckler
    @GSXHeckler Před 2 lety +54

    Thanks for all the tips. The past month I have really been struggling with what my next step should be. #32 was exactly what I needed. This week my goal was to work on a lot of things I know need changing, but I was afraid that I need to keep going live and not take that time off to readdress some things. It gets hard to fix things when you constantly need it stable to go live.
    It also made me realize something else. Another struggle I believe I've had is understanding what roles I fulfill. Hearing all those roles has helped me embrace some new things going forward. I sometimes wondered if I was doing too much. You've made me realize, I still have to step up in some areas and do more, lol. I can't wait, I'm enjoying this challenge of having to get better.

      I think it's all about objectives and goals,
      If you want to grow, you have to make you known and easily "findable" and such but as for myself ...I daydream about beng famous and rich but realistically, that is not my goal, when I start a stream it's to have fun with a couple of viewer and growing a small community so ... I think you need to know what you want, what hope and what you can do, in order to do what you can, try to achieve what you want, still aiming for what you hope ;)

    I was nervous at first. When you started to talk about a list of 32 things, and started getting a bit (politely) tough, I knew there would be some tough pills to swallow.
    But I did watch to the end, and I did take on board what you had to say.
    I'm glad to say that while I'm only doing about 15 of these right now, I can see the areas I need to improve. I can see how to improve. And after seriously contemplating the tough pills, I do not believe they are game/enders for me.
    This has boosted my overall confidence while highlighting things I need to work on.

I'm bopping around CZcams now getting a sense of how things have changed in the time I've been away, and this was super useful as both that and as a refresher course. Thanks for the video! :)

I had to step back from twitch for a year or two because of life, but when I came back it allowed me to re-evaluate the entire venture and see how I could improve. I’ve nearly doubled those numbers in a few weeks because of that re-evaluation.

    I just wanted to say thank you for making this. And thank you for not sugar coating it all. That ending bit about stopping if things just aren't going right and taking the time to see what's going wrong was very reassuring. I'm aspiring to be a streamer and content creator myself and I've been dreaming of it for 8 years. But I've finally managed the courage to stop dreaming and try to pursue this dream and try my best with the understanding that failure is very much the likely option. But learning now that there are plenty of ways to increase those odds just a bit more and plenty of ways to use my analytic brain to see what can be improved and try again if things go wrong. This video gave just little egg of hope to push myself out of the crippling fear of making the final steps of pushing myself over that limit and finishing my step to be ready to stream. So Once Again. Just Thank you.

I've found a secret love in video editing and am working hard to come up with video ideas, guides, etc. My small community has fully embraced my small break from streaming and supports me which is a great feeling.

You can’t keep beating your head off the wall you have to adjust

    @Malthaal Před 2 lety +11

    Thank you for all the advice this channel has to offer! When I originally started streaming it was more of a way to analyze old gameplay and see how I could improve, then I was actually getting viewers and the interaction with the people in chat (even if it was just 1 person...) was just fun to me. I started incorporating some of your ideas and tips into my stream and within I think a month of streaming I've hit affiliate status! You've helped me turn something into a fun hobby that I enjoy doing and for that I am grateful. I do need to work on my consistency though through my schedule :x

    4:00 very important! Once I started playing a less competitive game (Skyrim). It changed everything. I went from feeling boring and hopeless to having a lot of fun. Here's what I did for my first successful stream with legit 10 followers and no viewers to sum up the first 4 minutes of the video. I went from playing csgo to skyrim. The idea for the stream I had was play the game but put in mods and change the mods I was using throughout the stream. The title had 2 engaging keywords; Mods and 12 hour stream. I think the title was something like: 12 Hour Stream! Ruining Skyrim By Adding Random Mods. And lastly I kept talking, even if it wasn't to a viewer and there were ZERO periods of silence. You stop talking for legit more then 2 seconds you'll start dropping off I know we're told no one likes a chatterbox but with streaming it's a must! Once I combined all those things I had a solid 12 hour stream were I averaged 12 viewers and peaked at 21 and got 20 followers that stream. I wanna get back into it even for just 1 or 2 days a week for 4 hours, time is my biggest enemy right now.

But other than that, these were pretty simple and interesting takes for me to grab onto. Still need to save up for a webcam and a good mic, but besides that, these are all great tips that I can do to adjust and get back into things RIGHT away.

    It’s very tedious but if it’s something you enjoy, keep at it. It’s hard to be discovered first when starting anything, you just need to publish on other platforms and engage in the community like you said, because people don’t want to watch a nobody, who doesn’t talk or engage. I forget to talk sometimes on stream, or don’t want people to hear me cough or sneeze but you have to not care in the end because it’s your channel, your content and your time you are putting into learning everything to build a brand.

    This is probably the biggest pinned video that I should come back to after I'm done with uni - you have all the points laid out correctly, I agree with all of them and after many years of trying and attempting things, I have learnt enough to just about be able to take in guides like this video and actually be able to somewhat process the intensity of this craft
    tbh, I have been avoiding this video for a good half a year at least since I saw it in my recommended ahah
