Been working on this video for a while! I'd recommend watching this video next if you want to really take your Twitch content to the next level 👉🏻 ua-cam.com/video/MzE8nnPeBQs/v-deo.html
Thanks Sam!
No joke, this is one of the best step-by-step videos for growing on twitch, all in one video. And trust me, I've seen A LOT of Twitch/UA-cam growth videos. Love your videos Sam.
Do you make content and did you use these tips to grow an audience?
This is the PERFECT blend of informative, creative and hilarious. Kudos, my friend--I'll raise my coffee to you!
DUDE thank you so much for this. I have just switched from UA-cam to Twitch for all my streaming. I really have been liking it so far. Just made affiliate last night and am looking to grow my audience more.
Sam, your broll and cutaways are S tier.
Facts about keeping stuff off stream
I play a lot of Tarkov off stream/content with friends and I have absolutely 0 intention to make content for it, knowing it will take away the enjoyment of that off time
Excellent video
Im really happy that i found you through the alpha gaming channel. You helped me a lot to improve my Videos and to learn Whats the point. Greetings from a Fan from Germany
This guy. You know he gives great hugs. Such a Lovable guy
Thank you for this vid! So many of your videos have been super helpful!
Hiya, Sam! I always enjoy your videos because I learn alot from you. You're easy on the eyes (compliment not a flirt lol) and you don't have a "ROBOTIC" personality. I can related to you alot. I used to be a streamer on Mixer until their shutdown on July22nd,2020. 2 days before that I had neck surgery. So, I fell into a deep depression. I decided to focus on my recovery and ME. I come 1st. All the while, I missed streaming terribly. Just recently, slooowly I am getting back into streaming on Twitch. I am in the process of rebuilding my stream (and brand). I'm not very tech savvy and I somewhat get overwhelmed when tech stuff,especially when they don't work on my stream. I am still, in a way, an analog chick living in a hi tech world! lol That's one issue. You mentioned having direction. I feel, I do know what direction I want to go in,ever aince I was streaming on Mixer. THAT IS,my mission for streaming the specific thing that makes me want to be a streamer on Twitch, a UA-camr/content creator is that I strongly feel that I have a platform by giving inspiration,hope and support for those that are struggling with addiction,alcoholism,and mental illness. Because I have been in recovery from crack and heroin since 2004;alcoholism since 2011. I want to educate those that are going through the struggles about the disease for themselves or if friends or loved ones that want to help but they don't know what to do or at they even feel hopeless. Addiction/mental illness just does those that are in the throws of it,it effects EVERYBODY around the addict,alcoholic,etc. The last thing is I want to do is to build a community that is positive,supportive,inspiring,uplifting, unjudgemental for those struggling or even if they are in recovery themsleves do what they can as well or need some maintenance to keep their recovery. Definitely,give back to the community for individuals and charities,such rehabilitation programs or other organizations. The artist dirction, I'm lost on. I want a certain look and feel ans it seems like I'm lost. Lastly, THE HUGE PROBLEM IS TIME MANAGEMENT. I know it takes alot of discipline. I need to change that. If you have any other suggestions, what I need to do, it would grealt be appreciate it. Thank you for doing what you do and most of all being you! YOU ROCK, SAM!
Alright that was possibly the best and simplest video of its kind. Right to the point, examples shown, all bases covered. Just do it right, know what your doing and they will come! Love it Sam
Seems like another key to success is the content you cover. As a guy who likes to play a variety of FPS games, it seems to work against me covering different titles.
Excellent as always Sam! Thank you. Lots to think about and put into practice.
Great video Sam! All around really well done 🙏
I have been making some content but I by no means have went viral on any platform but I have been streaming for a year and all my growth has come from Twitch I am trying to push for Partner this year and sitting on 60 - 70 viewers I have achieved this with being consistent on the platform very welcoming and real interactive
About targets: Totally agree! There have been a few viewers in my stream ask me "Why aren't you Partnered yet?" My response has always been "I don't care about getting partnered on Twitch. All I want is to grow a community of people who believe in giving back to the world and see the same faces/names in the chat with each stream."
Quick question regarding short and long videos for you, Sam. As a full time carer, I don't have enough time to do 2-3 long form vids per week AND 3-4 shorts per day. It's seriously all I can do to get 1 long video out per week and 1 short per day on this channel (sports). On my gaming YT channel, I can manage 1 or 2 shorts per week and maybe 1 long video as well (in addition to streaming 3 days a week). For those of us who literally don't have enough hours in the day, what would you suggest? I really want to grow as a Content Creator, but my responsibility as a carer has to come first. :)
Totally, respect you and thank you for doing what you can for people. What I can suggest is batching. Batch film your videos in one go, utilise your streams to produce content in and film videos while you stream. Film like 2 videos in a day and you're ahead by two weeks.
For gaming content, game all day on a Saturday and collect as much footage as you can and then batch edit when you're home from work. Then schedule that content and drip feed it.
It's very possible to make a career doing this kind of stuff, you just have to change how you make the content. I know it's hard with full time jobs and major responsibilities. I'd recommend checking out the video I plugged at the end of this one to really understand how you can utilise your time ua-cam.com/video/MzE8nnPeBQs/v-deo.html
Big respect to you dude, thank you for dropping a comment!
@@SamWoodhall Batch recording and editing is a great idea! I watched your other video and there are some excellent tips and tricks in there! Highly recommend it to others. :) Thank you so much for replying!
This video popped up as soon as I opened the app. I just started branching outside of twitch and seeing this made me feel much better and less anxious about starting. Thank you for this.
This video was so helpful Sam! I'm not even focused so much on growing on Twitch specifically, but I still got a lot of great info on UA-cam and short form content!
Great Video! I feel like Twitch growth videos are becoming more and more rare lately but I do enjoy them!
Earned a sub with this one! Thank you sir! Top quality.
Thanks a lot for your knowledge 🙏💙
I loved the way this video was presented Sam. Biggest things I need to work on are my time management and overall just building good habits. With more good and consistent practice I know I have it in me to excel! Nice title by the way ;)
Definitely need this!
Sam this an absolute banger video, from information, entertainment, and delivery. You put so much effort into the content you provide and it really shows. This video is incredibly helpful and will be helpful for years to come!
awesome video I'll be following that advice soon (when my kids go back to school). hope you are well .
cheers...
Sam you are a LEGEND! Thank you for all the knowledge!
It’s actually about how to grow as a content creator in 2022. Both UA-cam and Twitch are tools on our tool-belt for reaching out to our audience and community.
3:30 is a mood
Amazing video, wish this kind of content was out there when I had time to actually stream!
Thank you for this!!
I needed this.. Thanks
Great video! I know you're not an Adobe guy, but would you mind just doing a short series or maybe even just one video on applying your techniques and workflows in Premiere Pro? It's just that's what I use and I'd love to see you in my native program. Thanks!
Sam this is probably the single best growth video i have watched. Thank you for the effort you put in this.
This is a great video! You are now my Content Creating Guru
This video may be the single best video out there explaining growth on all of these platforms... thanks Sam!
Really liked this video! I'm gonna try this out! I hope everyone who does this the best of luck with their journey! Regardless, great video with very awesome tips~
Awesome Sam, love this stuff even though my dream isn’t streaming its UA-cam .. shout out to you man
Sam is always throwing out them fire videos :)
started streaming a few days ago, and its real hard to get noticed when u play popular games that other popular streamers are playing
Hewllo sam! Love ur videos, and I'd also love ur input on something related to the video. You say (as many others do) that people should try to grow their twitch channel focusing on a specific category of games. I get that, and on UA-cam i have niched down and I have 3 youtube channels, each dedicated to a particular genre of games: a horror channel, a moba channel and a gdr channel, and they are really growing. I have 15 000, 5000 and 300 subs (the horror one is just a month old). I'd love to be able to make live content for all 3 youtube channels on twitch. I would, though, have to stream different cateogries of games, and basically address different audiences every slot (sort of: sometimes the moba people go over to the gdr channel, or the horror people go over to the gdr channel; but it's kinda rare, usually my audience doesn't mix a lot). So: is it allright to bring all these types of audiences togheter on Twitch? Or should I differentiate, by opening multiple Twitch accounts or streaming some things on twitch and some others on youtube? Sorry for the long text mate, I hope u'll give it a read!
I am not sure if you have made a video on this yet but I would love to hear your thoughts on just streaming on youtube instead of twitch and having it be a one stop shop per say for people to come into chat instead of leaving youtube for twitch.
Wow! Such a legit video. Thanks!
amazing tips sam
Hi Sam, quick question: should I post the same clip to facebook, tik tok, instagram, youtube shorts or make specific clips for each platform?
The name was easy, Chris my name then Sim Games so that's what I will stream... And I remember what my dad said you play games you don't work.. When I said but that that is work you never seen me asking you for money. Where he said yes you are right...O ah little tip if you record your live streams the good stuff and place that on UA-cam. You might make some extra on UA-cam And damn I love this channel
Some very great tips
A little daunting with the examples of channels of fairly popular games, but a sound guide nonetheless. I'm no new streamer, but I was in dire need of direction and I feel like this helped loads. Thank you!
I picked popular games as they’re more difficult to grow on as everyone is doing it. Seeing it work with larger games is a good indicator the formula is working. But I’m glad you found the video helpful either way!
Sam, I realize all comments below me are singing praises about this video and it IS a good one.
However, to be honest, I started becoming overwhelmed the longer I watched it.
You see, I am closer to age 60 than not. So, posting on Tiktok, creating 2 - 3 videos per week etc,
is too much for me. It's really important that a person is aware of what they can handle and
you obviously can handle quite a bit. But, for me, streaming twice a week and creating 1 - 2 edited videos from my VODS
is where I'm at in my content creating journey.
Blessing to you and all those who are striving to grow.
May we reach our goals!
This is how *I'd* do it and what I'd focus on. Your mileage my vary and please don't take this as a gospel "do this or you won't succeed". This is just my strategy for how I would grow on the platform. Please do what you can and only do what you're able to. Don't compare yourself to anyone but yourself and your own progress. I hope that clears up my intention with this video.
@@SamWoodhall Thank you very much, Sam ♥
I've just thought about it but during the talk in 03:24 where the message bubbles turns up, what if u added a message sound effect on there for the message, i think that would enhance the watching experience a bit actually :D
yooo Sam, Can i combine WaveLink (elgato wave 3) with the GoXLR? and how?
The best way to grow on twitch is to make friends with others. One thing i cannot stand is certain channels act stuck up and will not allow even their own mods to mention other streamers... most of my friends on twitch we all shout each other out all the time even when they are not there.... perfect example.. 8 bit drummer, that guy's mod will block ppl that request songs in the chat... he literally does song requests... but they block you if you post it in the chat even without a warning now.. when your mods are the gulag it is not a comfy place to be for everyone. Make your channel comfy for everyone, it counts a lot
Mate would you mind telling me where you got your Twitch channel and Like/Subscribe call to action after effects?
Noko has a great channel, he's a textbook example. He has great outro music too.
early stream preview gang, where we at?
Hey Sam! I have a question. So tik tok doesn’t allow links to be put into your bio unless you have over 1,000 followers. I am very against bots but in this scenario I am not sure what to do because a 1,000 followers seems like it will take a very long time to get.
That's what I started to do this week, I'm trying to make some videos (with good quality imo) and trying to make a community. My "problem" is that I don't feel comfortable with the lower thir that I have, and dont know how to make one for my self. Can u make a tutorial of how to do a lower third like this? 5:35?
Kingslayer420 always the best name, great content as always my man!
Question is 3rd person games a niche or a needle to go deeper into a type of game ?
Sam playin MC??? u bought me even more :D
Great video, structure and content.
The only criticism I have is there is (understandably given the author) an assumption that the viewer/target is competent in video editing - particularly given the advice to spend time tweaking the short and long form content.
Not so much an oversight. It’s why I’ve done videos on editing on this channel. My aim is for this to become a whole resource for people. There’s also methods to speed up and make you faster and more efficient.
At 3:24 " who the hell is this? " i lost it lmaoooooooo
great video, that said I do wonder about the case studies you brought up. Particularly the example of Keeoh. I noticed the C9 tag and that worried me. Are we reassuring people too much here Sam ? Most people are not professional gamers, nor do they have the backing of an org like Cloud 9....how realistic is this ? Also why did the first example Koko fall off extremely hard afterwards? Not nit-picking, just asking to see if there may be a more balanced perspective here
He's a content creator for Cloud 9, not a pro player, and was signed way before he blew up on UA-cam. You can track his history on UA-cam and Twitch and make the correlation.
@@SamWoodhall fair enough!
Not wrong on making youtube videos for discoverability since Twitch doesn't have that whatsoever. Streamed on twitch for 3 months, posted 0 youtube videos, and the result is 0-1 viewers for life. So do take Sam's advice and post content on youtube or other platforms outside of Twitch if you want to be discovered.
can u upload a video where u combine wave 3 with goxlr?
thers no good video out there about that
What’s do’s and don’t when and if you get raided? I got raided on my channel one day when I had about 6 viewers and the raider had 80+ people come in. Looking back I realized I should’ve done something to get those people to come back. Is there anything particular you should mention when this happens?
Greet them, explain briefly what your channel is about and invite them to follow you. Show your most active and engaging self in that moment and greet as many people as possible while continuing with your stream content.
@@CoffeeCala thanks for this.
I stream n do youtube but as a viewer what turns me away from twitch us the ads. I get ads entering stream and minutes later twitch shoves 6-9 ads in my face i see 4 ads and click out and end up watching nobody.
I've been doing fairly well with Tiktok, but I'm not so sure about posting 3-6 videos per day. If I post more than two videos per day the videos don't perform as well. I usually stick one that is funny and one that is informative.
I’ve seen a lot of success from post a lot of TikToks in one go. Like I say you need to cast a wide net. Nothing in this strategy is set in stone and your mileage may vary. What works for you works for you. Keep crushing it.
As small streamer/channel do you think being variety is good or bad? Should I stick to one game even If I like to play a lot of them?
just going to start linking this video when people ask for advice lol
rofl "Who the hell is this?" that made me laugh!
Thanks for this Sam!
If you were streaming on UA-cam would still apply these same growth principles (for the most part)?
Yep. If you use Shorts instead you don't need to cross pollinate either. It's a more refined ecosystem on YT
@@SamWoodhall thanks mate!
So, but what to do, if you are doing stuff like building and painting stuff?
It doesn't happen often that I do stuff like crazy trick shots, even in games that directly correlate with that.
How would you suggest promoting a fitness stream on Twitch? Would you change anything from the advice shared in this video?
I’d focus on making your streams more personal connections. Exercise tips and ticks and conversation. Build rapport with your audience. Build a community. Your videos will be what they will come over from, and they should be the physical workouts. Your streams should be your brand building and relationship focus. Create Shorts for quick fitness tips while you stream. Quick workouts you can do throughout the day. Answering questions about health from your viewers and using that to become content.
but def hit the like button great info
I would love to edit short and long videos for all platforms but I do just end up taking clips. I don't have the extra time to spare on that kind of content. Or the money to have someone else do it for me
First 30 Seconds i left a Sub :) greetings
Welcome!
Hey Sam, could give some examples for evergreen gaming videos since games such as Apex constantly update and change.
Lore videos are great for that. Benefit of Apex is the constant change. Allows you to release content for current trends. Skills on playing the game are evergreen, as it's your documentation of your process. Hope that helps.
All i need now is a interesting personality
I have always loved my name, addmichael, makes no sense cause I made it when I was 7 but it just looks so nice haha
i have days off but the support group is lacking my best friend does not come by hell barly calls me and the othe friend makes up excuises i have one i call brother who comes by and a few othjers but not all the time
It’s a TOM of content to produce
Last time I came this early my wife yelled at me
Now that's a top tier comment 😂😂
I see the tweet. I click the link. I like the video. ITS CLOCKWORK!
3:23 hahahah "who the hell is this"
I am a student, so what would you recommend in terms of streaming and making content when I'm at University 3 days a week?
Batching content on your free days would be what I’d recommend. Film 2-3 videos in a day and release those videos one per week until you’re able to scale up and make more. Focus on your studies but take advantage of your free time. Stop partying at university is what I’d recommend too 😜
@@SamWoodhall I do love a party ;) thanks for the reply and advice!
Question is, why partner when you can do stuff on both. If growing on twitch is about funnelling people in from other places, why limit yourself.
Just a thought I had looking at the thumbnail
Because some people have that goal. You can make the strategy as flexible to your goals as you want. It's a framework for growth, not set in stone rules.
@@SamWoodhall Fair enough. Thank you
I’ve changed my name 3 times now.
"upload 3 to 6 tiktok / youtube shorts a day"
Me: *fml*
2-3 long videos per week and 2-3 shorts per day.
That seems too much?
It will be quantity over quality?
Me: I wanna be a streamer not a youtuber!!
Sam: be a youtuber to be a streamer
Not that I don't like to be a youtuber xD
a
“Who the hell is this” 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Come back to fortnite.... that's what i got out of this video. In all seriousness, there's a lot of stuff i needed to hear. Thank you!
