@@supposedlygreg If you run a 3 minute ad, every hour, you'll only stop pre rolls for the 30 minutes after the 3 minutes runs. Then they'll have 30 minutes of pre-rolls. As I said, 90 seconds is the max and does 30 minutes at a time unless you glitch it as I showed at the very start of a stream. People won't see midrolls that you run if they are subs or just viewed a Pre-roll in full as well.
Yeah I already did I've been on 3 hours no one so again if I do it tomorrow it no one again I try to get followers Every UA-cam her tells everybody to do that but we dont get lucky
Story Time. So my Sept follower goal was initially 15. Seemed reasonable to me. Having been watching your videos and utilizing them for the last 10 days or so, I've blown that out of the park at a whooping 53 followers AND twitch affiliate already. I want to thank you, sooooo much for these videos. They. Are. Amazing. And YOU sir. Should be proud. Here's to hoping I can catch you live eventually. CHEERS 🍻 MATE!
I followed the directions yesterday for how to set up ads and ran ads at the start of my stream before people came into chat and then whenever I took a quick bio break, and it worked perfectly! Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I had a lot more new people in chat last night from the browse page. Perhaps because they didn't get a preroll ad? Thank you for this video, Eljay, so helpful!
Hey Eljay! Thank you so much for all of these videos. Each and everyone of them has served as an inspiration and drive to make my streams as best as they can be. I look forward to what you have to say every week. I have been streaming for 3 days and I have gotten feedback I owe to you. Sound, presentation, and confidence on the mic. Currently sitting at 26 followers after 3 days of streaming, a lot more than I ever thought. Got my short term goal of Affiliate, long term goal of partner, and overarching goal of making better and better content. Going to be adding that follower goal to my streams now since I noticed that I got a burst of follows when I reminded viewers. That widget will help make those reminders for me. Thanks!
Your videos have been nothing but helpful. a couple weeks ago I noticed my viewers dropping. But now for the last couple days I've been steadily maintaining 7 viewers. Now I know that isn't a lot for some people. But that's huge for me. Thank you so much!
Came across this channel in the past week, really appreciate what you're putting out and its enabled me to take stuff away in order to better myself. Really good and informative video. Looking forward to watching some more :)
Honestly so glad I found your UA-cam a little under a month ago. Because of the helpful information you give I was able to get to affiliate within my first 7 streams on Twitch that Ive ever done. So thank you! You really make everything so easy to understand.
A tip for clips and markers! You can still clip from the highlighter page with Alt+X. Clipping from the button in the dashboard just grabs 30sec of video but if you marker during the stream and clip afterward, then you can edit the clips and get better comedic timing OR make sure nothing got cut out from the clip. Granted this does take more time but it works best for me since I feel like I'm making more enticing clips to watch. I save highlights for longer sections that I want to save but if there is a short, less than a minute bit I want to be saved, I'll clip it after which precise editing.
Ngl stuff about ads manager was useful. I was super worried about it interrupting important parts of the stream, or more to the point me forgetting and having a mid roll ad while im tryna talk with chat. Super helpful that you went into detail on this! Please continue to do so with any new features
One of the best recent videos for me personally! Hands down!! Yesterday I've spent researching for disabling pre-roll ads that I wasn't aware of (since I thought I could simply turn off ads) thanks to one of my viewers who told me in the chat they had to sit through an ad to watch me (big love for that guy) And then I've started researching for around an hour on both twitch streaming site, twitch support and the reddit sites to find my answers. In this video, you just confirmed my hypothesis and I've learnt a little bit more! I saw the schedules and thought myself to include it. Thank you Eljay for the detailed explanation 💗🤝 Edit: i forgot the superfragawhateverferocious beautiful video xD sorry I'm so bad at it hahaha
Damn Eljay, I had no idea an integrated goal system was even a thing 😂 very much looking forward to replacing my on screen stream elements one with this! You’re an incredible creator man! Gonna stop by the stream next time you’re live 🙏 cheers
I really appreciated the chapters...or whatever they're called? on this video. Helped me find exactly what I needed. You're awesome! Really enjoyed catching your stream recently, too. Lots of fun!
Eljay thank you so much !! Your videos have really helped me as a new streamer. I reached affiliate after 6-7 weeks and now running my own ads has increased my average viewers to 10 and above. I have gotten all of my tips from you so thank you so much !!!
Another amazing and super helpful vid Eljay!!!! Thank you so much for all ur amazing content !!! Sending loves and good vibes and cant wait to catch your next stream xxx
I never knew you could turn off pre-rolls for mid rolls instead- and I’ve been streaming for almost two years. It’s disheartening to think of all the lost potential viewers, but I appreciate you for spreading this information! Wish twitch themselves would make their content creators aware of this feature though.
Ugh thank you for the ad tutorial!!! I heard so many people talking about it but was too intimidated and slightly confused on how it worked. And I love the new goal widget! I had a really simple sub goal set up and 15 minutes after going live my followers blew it up. It's crazy how such small things can make such a huge difference. Another supercalifragilisticexpialidocious video!
This was super useful! I've been streaming for just over a month now and every time I look up a tutorial for something, there's almost always a video on this channel covering it. I've picked up a ton of good advice from your videos and already hit Affiliate, so thanks a ton! ✨
Love the video. I ran across a video couple days ago. I'm new to UA-cam and twitch, 5 months in on UA-cam and two weeks on twitch. I subscribe because I enjoyed the tips that you give. Thank you so much for sharing all these tips I will most likely be looking through every single video and have an awesome day
Any video of yours that I instantly add to saved list to rewatch when I get home Is a good one! I'm definitely going to be adding all this when I finish work thank you for the great work eljay keep it up mate.
I've been waiting for some sort of Ad manager for a while now for the exact purpose you explained; helping keep new viewers in. Hopefully I'll see a return of changing this up!
Having the ad manager has really helped me be more conscious of how long I’m sitting at my desk while streaming. Seeing an ad coming up and knowing I’m at a big part so it makes sense to take a break, go get water, go to the bathroom, just stand up and stretch for a bit, has been so increasingly helpful.
Holy cow the marker and clip button thing just blew my mind! The ad thing, I have been good at doing on breaks etc since I hit affiliate, will have to test it out! superultramegahypercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Thanks for informing me about the ad manager. I wasn't even aware about the amount of ads that were being played while I stream! Hopefully, the manager will help to improve my overall stream experience.
UA-cam has been recommending your channel to me this week and I have to say it's extremely helpful. As you say, there are many tools that I've been ignoring and will probably help me quite a bit. Thank you.
Awesome info wow , this was really good in depth about running ads and how to avoid running them during a prime time moment. Thank you so much for sharing !! You are a King ! Love your content!
The value of this content is literally indescribable! I’m planning on starting streaming in the very near future and without your content I’d be stabbing in the dark. Thanks for all your hard work, your making my life infinitely easier!
As a new streamer, I had been too scared to run ads, even though I knew they turned off pre-rolls. I hate ads myself and really downplayed the benefit. I ran maybe one or two during breaks on separate streams, but never consciously chose to work them in. This video talked me into trying it and WOW. You mentioned this, but I really couldn’t believe with the timed ad running 1 minute into my pre-stream after me manually running an ad that I seriously got over an HOUR of no pre-rolls! Only one or two people were there and they were subs so they never saw them anyway! Totally insane. If I hadn’t run a single other ad that stream, the ones at the start would have been worth it alone. Then I tried to run a 90 second ad once an hour or so when there was a lull in the gameplay. (Was happily surprised with how easy it was to snooze ads too during more exciting gameplay!) I had never really worked in breaks to my stream before so I actually felt way better at the end of stream as I took those breaks to mindfully check in with myself and hydrate, stretch, find a healthier speaking voice if I had been screaming too much, whatever I needed. On top of feeling less exhausted, knowing pre-rolls would be off for a bit just felt like a huge bonus. I also went to a BRB screen with music and did the multi action button on my stream deck that you suggested, and viewership did not dip once. Thanks Eljay! Always giving killer advice. Love all these videos but never commented, this one was just so immediately impactful that I had to share my hype and gratitude. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
sounds amazing!! "I really couldn’t believe with the timed ad running 1 minute into my pre-stream after me manually running an ad that I seriously got over an HOUR of no pre-rolls!" what does pre-stream mean? T_T how do u run an ad... pre stream? O_ O
@@QuantumKayos Sorry for just seeing this! I usually run a "pre-stream" screen for 5-10 minutes before I actually appear on stream. It says "stream starting soon" and I have music playing. While viewers are trickling into chat as my live notifications go out, my ads play and disable pre-roll ads before I actually start playing the game, and that guarantees that the entire first hour of gameplay is uninterrupted by ads for subs and non-subs alike!
Thanks man I subbed. I am taking this seriously Saturday and starting streaming again. I have a gameplan. I have several pages of notes written down from the past few days. first time in a long time I have felt properly motivated. I don't want to lose this chance so I am going to go for it.
Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious! Great advice on some new features that I've been looking at implementing. I hope they give you the option of changing the sub/follow goal banner color, as well as being able to run both goals together.
i just found this channel and already watching all the video. Usually this tips dosen't help very much italian streamers , but i like learning new things
This was genuinely very helpful! My viewers liked the 90sec ad slot, it was great to be able to control the timing and not cut off important content and most importantly have a pee break!! I never would have found these settings without this video.
I haven't reached this part of my twitch journey yet, but I do wanna say that your vids have helped me a lot since I started streaming and I want to thank you for the advice and hope you keep making these vids and content. Also hope that you are and stay well!
Always loved your videos; very informative & easy to grasp. I thought that the mountain that was twitch ads would forever be a little daunting to me, but this video gave me some kinda of confidence. I'll be testing out the goal widget as well, can't hurt to try ? 😅 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
I have been trying to figure out how my friends and some of the streamers I watch have those daily, or monthly follower/sub goals above their chat set up for a long time now! Not to mention how to turn off the adds. Thanks so much dude! This is gonna help me a lot, I hope!
JUST A QUICK HEADS UP ABOUT THE GOAL BAR! You CAN customize it through OBS/SLOBS. If you add a filter to it and mess with the saturation/hue settings, etc, you an get a decent result. I made mine green to match my color scheme! As usual Eljay, absolutely BANGING advice and content. I can't wait to see you hit 100k, you deserve that coveted plaque. Keep fighting the good fight
You can use hue and saturation, but also a lot of users don't have PCs that can handle filters and barely handle streaming, so I'm hesitant to recommend it to most. I'd much rather Twitch just flesh out the feature so it doesn't add extra resources. :) Hope the videos continue to help! 100k should be in roughly a month, pretty excited! :)
Well made as usual, thank you! A question since the twitch goal scrolls on chat when you activate it, would new viewers not see that scroll? Or would that animation play for only them when they join?
New viewers will see it again when you reach certain stages of the goal (halfway, one quarter, etc), or if big events happen. Its why they on screen widget comes with it to help make it clear.
As usual, the video is supercallifragilisticexpialidocious! I hadn't realised these follower/subscriber goals were a thing now, so I'm excited to try those out! I always explain why I'm running an ad when I do, but I also forget to run ads...gotta make an effort to remember to do that if I'm taking a quick break. Thanks as ever!
I have been using the tools you suggested already. But I am grateful that I am using the right tools already to be successful! Thank you for your videos. I appreciate them :)
I take an intentional break every 30 minutes during my streams. Before the break I let chat know we are taking a quick stretch/snack break. I’ve made several custom brb videos that play a compilation of my TikTok videos. My viewers love my brb videos. I play a different one every break so they are not seeing the same content repeatedly. I also set an auto action to run a 90 second ad to disable pre-rolls. So far since doing this for almost 2 months I rarely ever lose any viewers during my breaks. And as mentioned I break every half hour and run ads. I don’t do it for the money but I have noticed an increase in my ad revenue. I now average about $10 a month from ads. But my sole motivation for running the ads though is just to disable pre-rolls during the duration of the stream.
Thanks for this video! Really appreciate the walkthrough and I had missed the ad manager being added in. I'll have to let you know how it goes from here. :)
Thank you man for this! Problem originally is, without fiddling, I couldn't even tell when ads were running or even if! I've often had a weird feeling like "there's 10 people in here from somewhere, but no one's saying anything" and it was probably ads holding them back! Appreciate it and I see you on Twitch recommended all the time!
The follower goal seems useful in other ways too. If "someone" is frequently following-unfollowing. They're probably one of those dirty bots (although, I haven't noticed them in a while, thankfully) While it might be spammy in the middle of the stream, it gives you (or a mod) all the more reason to report it. Has anyone had any trouble with them recently?
The HOSS bots stopped, whether it is a coincidence who knows, BUT they stopped the same day and around the same time that the original HOSS said they were giving up and not coming back to streaming. Essentially, turns out the bots were created and named after 2 - 3 individuals, and used to ruin their name, as well as get their accounts banned. When one of them admitted they were leaving for good... the bots just stopped? Very odd situation honestly, who knows.
@@StreamScheme I just got follow bottled by hoss. It ended ik freezing my Streamlabs so I was struggling to bean them. This time it was only like 7 bots because I ended stream. It’s really annoying.
Thank you so much for the ad break info, who knew they would stack! I really like the new goal manager on twitch, honestly! Especially for communities where the emotes are a huge part of the culture and you're already out of BTTV slots. I don't think I'll use the on screen goal yet, though, 'cause OBS might actually try to kill me if I add yet another browser source... Also, bold of you to assume I could even spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but I guess that's why we have captions!
I do have a question for u tho what do u recommend for someone who only has one monitor and uses stream lab’s obs. I do use the overlay so i can read chat and see recent activities while playing the game but any tips u can give me?
I had been wondering what the best way to use the Ad Manager, thank you for your insight. Your trick blew my mind, I'll be setting this up before my next stream. I'll also be using the Twitch goal widget to see if it helps. Thank you for all you do for us!
Hey Eljay! I have only recently discovered your videos and managed to actually pick up a few things I haven't been doing yet and tried implementing them to my stream. I wish I could be a part of your community, but I decided to focus on my national language (Polish) for now, thus I should focus on Polish communities only. Nevertheless, thanks for making these videos! That's a good mix of proffesionalism and laugh right there. :) On a final note: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Cheers!
Been doing the follower goal since this video came out and I've seen about 3 x the ammount of followers to normal. Thanks so much for this tip. it has really helped me. I'm not sure the ad thing is working now. Could turn off pre-rolls for an hour last week but now the max I can get by doing the pre-roll after a minute of starting and running my own ad is 30 minutes. Shame as an hour of ad free time for new viewers was great.
First video I’ve seen of yours. I’m a small UA-camr and Twitch streamer and I found this quite helpful. Still figuring everything out, like I don’t even have a stream deck, nor really know much about them at all. I’m sure I’ll catch more of your stuff.
Have been using preroll ads for a while, the stacking is genius! Especially for the beginning of stream when only dedicated viewers & subs watch me within the first few minutes of going live.
The follow/sub goal is new to me. I've had clips on my stream deck for a while now. Been doing ads at the start of my stream for about a month now, have not started doing it regularly during the stream though. I was thinking of running them when I do stream raiders, as that's usually in a natural break to the main game
Started using these tips about to weeks ago! And i went from a whopping 57 to 97! I am so close to affiliate with that 3.0 average viewer goal, but i'll get that if i keep using your tips! Thx a lot man :3!!!!
Just been watching your videos about streaming I will say alot the things you say I don't do so I have alot of stuff to improve on but one step at a time thanks for all the information also love your vids
Absolute Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious legend as always- didn't even know about the ads manager, let alone that I had access to it. I'm interested to see how it will perform. Thanks as always Eljay
I was up late ⏰, saw this video and it made my night even longer… thankful for these tips.. I was so excited to set this up, I did it as you went through the video. Goodnight haha
The tips from this vid (and this channel in general) are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! As a small streamer, it is very helpful! As are the free layouts you guys have; I have had many compliments on it, and I'm always sure to point folk your way... Know if there are any plans for more free layouts?

On top of feeling less exhausted, knowing pre-rolls would be off for a bit just felt like a huge bonus. I also went to a BRB screen with music and did the multi action button on my stream deck that you suggested, and viewership did not dip once.
Thanks Eljay! Always giving killer advice. Love all these videos but never commented, this one was just so immediately impactful that I had to share my hype and gratitude. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Oh so glad it’s been a positive experience for you, Pelvis! Heck yeah!
sounds amazing!!
"I really couldn’t believe with the timed ad running 1 minute into my pre-stream after me manually running an ad that I seriously got over an HOUR of no pre-rolls!"
what does pre-stream mean? T_T how do u run an ad... pre stream? O_ O
@@QuantumKayos During my Starting Soon screen.
@@QuantumKayos Sorry for just seeing this! I usually run a "pre-stream" screen for 5-10 minutes before I actually appear on stream. It says "stream starting soon" and I have music playing. While viewers are trickling into chat as my live notifications go out, my ads play and disable pre-roll ads before I actually start playing the game, and that guarantees that the entire first hour of gameplay is uninterrupted by ads for subs and non-subs alike!
Thanks for advice and ideas! You seem like a real genuine person!
Thanks man I subbed. I am taking this seriously Saturday and starting streaming again. I have a gameplan. I have several pages of notes written down from the past few days. first time in a long time I have felt properly motivated. I don't want to lose this chance so I am going to go for it.
The fact two ads played directly after you mentioned streaming on UA-cam to avoid ads was such beautiful irony.
I promise I just let UA-cam handle all of that hahaha their algo knows best... most of the time...
Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious! Great advice on some new features that I've been looking at implementing. I hope they give you the option of changing the sub/follow goal banner color, as well as being able to run both goals together.
I just want a nice magenta sub goal! hahaha Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 100% Crew are the coolest! 😎
i’m surprised u knew how to spell that
Hey man. Thank you so much for your tips on ads! I love your content!
i just found this channel and already watching all the video. Usually this tips dosen't help very much italian streamers , but i like learning new things
I'm 100% going to use that intended stacking feature of disabled pre-rolls, thx for the vids as usual Eljay
It is totally intended right, surely! hahaha
Yea hope they don't catch on lul
This was genuinely very helpful! My viewers liked the 90sec ad slot, it was great to be able to control the timing and not cut off important content and most importantly have a pee break!!
I never would have found these settings without this video.
Oh wow! That’s so great to hear, Kaz! Thanks for the positive comment :)
This was so helpful, thank you!
i really appreciate the whole video really changed some things up for me thank you!
I haven't reached this part of my twitch journey yet, but I do wanna say that your vids have helped me a lot since I started streaming and I want to thank you for the advice and hope you keep making these vids and content. Also hope that you are and stay well!
I love the marker tool! I use it on my stream deck!
It sucks when I realize that the things I thought were funny aren't funny after I stop streaming.
That is where editing comes in ;) Make them funny with edits and sfx!
This taught me alot! Thank you for all the info about the ads! 🤗🔥
Always loved your videos; very informative & easy to grasp. I thought that the mountain that was twitch ads would forever be a little daunting to me, but this video gave me some kinda of confidence. I'll be testing out the goal widget as well, can't hurt to try ? 😅 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
I have been trying to figure out how my friends and some of the streamers I watch have those daily, or monthly follower/sub goals above their chat set up for a long time now! Not to mention how to turn off the adds. Thanks so much dude! This is gonna help me a lot, I hope!
Glad I could help :)
@@StreamScheme I'll be testing these new updates to my channel out shortly! I'll let you know how I do in a couple of days! Thanks again!
JUST A QUICK HEADS UP ABOUT THE GOAL BAR! You CAN customize it through OBS/SLOBS. If you add a filter to it and mess with the saturation/hue settings, etc, you an get a decent result. I made mine green to match my color scheme!
As usual Eljay, absolutely BANGING advice and content. I can't wait to see you hit 100k, you deserve that coveted plaque. Keep fighting the good fight
You can use hue and saturation, but also a lot of users don't have PCs that can handle filters and barely handle streaming, so I'm hesitant to recommend it to most. I'd much rather Twitch just flesh out the feature so it doesn't add extra resources. :)
Hope the videos continue to help! 100k should be in roughly a month, pretty excited! :)
One can also slide the left end of the bar off the viewable window to hide the IMO hideous 80’s-clip-art-esque graphic! 😄
A fellow green lover! :3
Honestly one of the better videos, probably going to stick around for more of this type of content
Thank you so much for this information!
Well made as usual, thank you! A question since the twitch goal scrolls on chat when you activate it, would new viewers not see that scroll? Or would that animation play for only them when they join?
New viewers will see it again when you reach certain stages of the goal (halfway, one quarter, etc), or if big events happen.
Its why they on screen widget comes with it to help make it clear.
As usual, the video is supercallifragilisticexpialidocious! I hadn't realised these follower/subscriber goals were a thing now, so I'm excited to try those out! I always explain why I'm running an ad when I do, but I also forget to run ads...gotta make an effort to remember to do that if I'm taking a quick break. Thanks as ever!
I have been using the tools you suggested already. But I am grateful that I am using the right tools already to be successful! Thank you for your videos. I appreciate them :)
I take an intentional break every 30 minutes during my streams. Before the break I let chat know we are taking a quick stretch/snack break. I’ve made several custom brb videos that play a compilation of my TikTok videos. My viewers love my brb videos. I play a different one every break so they are not seeing the same content repeatedly. I also set an auto action to run a 90 second ad to disable pre-rolls. So far since doing this for almost 2 months I rarely ever lose any viewers during my breaks. And as mentioned I break every half hour and run ads. I don’t do it for the money but I have noticed an increase in my ad revenue. I now average about $10 a month from ads. But my sole motivation for running the ads though is just to disable pre-rolls during the duration of the stream.
The compilation videos during ads is a great idea! Out of curiosity, how many viewers do you have to make an average of 10$/month through ads?
Hey Shaine!
So original!
@@TheMakoMakoMan I currently average between 15-20 viewers
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! What a legend this guy is, am I right? Thanks once again Eljay.
Just hope the content helps mate :) 100% crew is pretty cool!
Thanks for this video! Really appreciate the walkthrough and I had missed the ad manager being added in. I'll have to let you know how it goes from here. :)
Thank you man for this! Problem originally is, without fiddling, I couldn't even tell when ads were running or even if!
I've often had a weird feeling like "there's 10 people in here from somewhere, but no one's saying anything" and it was probably ads holding them back! Appreciate it and I see you on Twitch recommended all the time!
I would love to just have 2-3 people in chat just to talk to. It is not all about big numbers
Same I just wanna talk to people

Exactly

The follower goal seems useful in other ways too. If "someone" is frequently following-unfollowing. They're probably one of those dirty bots (although, I haven't noticed them in a while, thankfully) While it might be spammy in the middle of the stream, it gives you (or a mod) all the more reason to report it.
Has anyone had any trouble with them recently?
The HOSS bots stopped, whether it is a coincidence who knows, BUT they stopped the same day and around the same time that the original HOSS said they were giving up and not coming back to streaming.
Essentially, turns out the bots were created and named after 2 - 3 individuals, and used to ruin their name, as well as get their accounts banned.
When one of them admitted they were leaving for good... the bots just stopped?
Very odd situation honestly, who knows.
@@StreamScheme i had 37 follows by Hoss the other day on my stream lol
@@StreamScheme I just got follow bottled by hoss. It ended ik freezing my Streamlabs so I was struggling to bean them. This time it was only like 7 bots because I ended stream. It’s really annoying.
@@Sphen1946 I have a guide on dealing with the HOSS bots, might be worth checking out, boss!
I had 10 hoss bots attack me yesterday, so it’s still happening unfortunately
Thank you so much for the ad break info, who knew they would stack!
I really like the new goal manager on twitch, honestly! Especially for communities where the emotes are a huge part of the culture and you're already out of BTTV slots. I don't think I'll use the on screen goal yet, though, 'cause OBS might actually try to kill me if I add yet another browser source...
Also, bold of you to assume I could even spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but I guess that's why we have captions!
Thank you for these!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I had no idea how to spell that. Thanks, Speech to Text input!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 100% Crew are the coolest! 😎
Great video. Thx for the reminder on the sub/follow goal function. I had mine set but totally forgot about it LOL. Just updated it!
New tools, just have to get them in the routine!
I have seen so many of ur videos and they helped me so much cause i am not affiliated myself so learning this stuff really helps me out
I do have a question for u tho what do u recommend for someone who only has one monitor and uses stream lab’s obs. I do use the overlay so i can read chat and see recent activities while playing the game but any tips u can give me?
Thank you. Helped Alot
I had been wondering what the best way to use the Ad Manager, thank you for your insight. Your trick blew my mind, I'll be setting this up before my next stream. I'll also be using the Twitch goal widget to see if it helps. Thank you for all you do for us!
Found this channel yesterday and it’s the most informative I’ve come across!! You’ve helped me with loads thx bro!!!
Heck yeah mate!
Aaawesome tips!!!
I got SO many ideas while watching that I could do to engage my audience and reach my objectives thanks to your tips!
Wow that marker/clip tip is insanely helpful. On my 3rd vid now, top notch content, cheers dude!
Word up for the great vid and being able to present your info and content so well!
Hey Eljay! I have only recently discovered your videos and managed to actually pick up a few things I haven't been doing yet and tried implementing them to my stream. I wish I could be a part of your community, but I decided to focus on my national language (Polish) for now, thus I should focus on Polish communities only.
Nevertheless, thanks for making these videos! That's a good mix of proffesionalism and laugh right there. :)
On a final note:
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Cheers!
Yesss, the video I have been waiting for. Was excited since you mentioned it on stream.
Hope you enjoyed it! :)
@@StreamScheme helpful as always
Been doing the follower goal since this video came out and I've seen about 3 x the ammount of followers to normal. Thanks so much for this tip. it has really helped me.
I'm not sure the ad thing is working now. Could turn off pre-rolls for an hour last week but now the max I can get by doing the pre-roll after a minute of starting and running my own ad is 30 minutes. Shame as an hour of ad free time for new viewers was great.
Another great vid! :D funny to see I did the ads manager before you brought it up! Keep being supercalifragiloucious!
Its an interesting tool, I hope it continues to be developed and more is added! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 100% Crew are the coolest! 😎
Just got a new subscriber outta me man! Great content!
I have been watching his videos hoping some of these will be a help 🙏 very knowledgeable information indeed
Your content is outstanding, thank you it really help
You do a great job bro, keep it up.
First video I’ve seen of yours. I’m a small UA-camr and Twitch streamer and I found this quite helpful. Still figuring everything out, like I don’t even have a stream deck, nor really know much about them at all. I’m sure I’ll catch more of your stuff.
Stream decks aren't mandatory! I didn't have one till I was at 80 average viewers hahaha
Hope the videos help mate!
Have been using preroll ads for a while, the stacking is genius! Especially for the beginning of stream when only dedicated viewers & subs watch me within the first few minutes of going live.
I'm new to twitch and a streamer, and this video was super informative!
you have helped me so much and i am so greatful
Great content as always bro!
The follow/sub goal is new to me. I've had clips on my stream deck for a while now. Been doing ads at the start of my stream for about a month now, have not started doing it regularly during the stream though. I was thinking of running them when I do stream raiders, as that's usually in a natural break to the main game
My friend, you have earned a sub! Keep it up!
Thank you for all the tips! Am About to hit affiliate thx for the hlep
A massive help! Thankyou!
Started using these tips about to weeks ago! And i went from a whopping 57 to 97! I am so close to affiliate with that 3.0 average viewer goal, but i'll get that if i keep using your tips! Thx a lot man :3!!!!
Just been watching your videos about streaming I will say alot the things you say I don't do so I have alot of stuff to improve on but one step at a time thanks for all the information also love your vids
Absolute Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious legend as always- didn't even know about the ads manager, let alone that I had access to it. I'm interested to see how it will perform. Thanks as always Eljay
yo, solid vid. Just adjusted my ads manager. Much love my friend. And Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious my friend 😂
I was up late ⏰, saw this video and it made my night even longer… thankful for these tips.. I was so excited to set this up, I did it as you went through the video. Goodnight haha
Amazing Vid, all new things I haven’t heard anywhere else yet. Good Stuff brother, keep killing it 🔥
Thanks mate! Glad it helped!
The tips from this vid (and this channel in general) are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! As a small streamer, it is very helpful!
As are the free layouts you guys have; I have had many compliments on it, and I'm always sure to point folk your way... Know if there are any plans for more free layouts?
Tysm! Super informal.
I love the ad manager! I always get invested in game and forget to run ads and it helps a ton
Exact same for me! :)
Thank you for help!
I will trye this on my channel.
Your videos are great, very useful tips especially for beginners like myself who have no clue what they're doing hahaha
You've earned a new follower!
