    THANK YOU for specifically mentioning “stop buying unnecessary shit” - I’m not one to tell people how to spend their money but it’s so easy to get caught up seeing the top creators use all this crazy gear to think that it’s somehow a requirement to stream, make content, or be successful

    Dude, I remember when you started streaming and put up videos. We started about the same month actually. Both streaming and uploading. Unfortunately life took a different turn of events so to speak.. couldn’t really be as active or entertaining as I knew how to be.. it it’s really good and entertaining to watch your videos! You have certainly shown me what approaches I could take from today. Thanks man!

    YES PLEASE BIGGEST ADVICE EVER!!! I get a lot of folks asking me advice and my advice is literally always PLEASE TALK LIKE EVERYONE IS WATCHING -- sighs. i have given the same advice to a handful of small streamers when they have asked (yes i'm small too but i am talking people who have like 1-2 viewers and for some reason expect those 1-2 viewers to be the backbone of the conversation) many times to just chat, commentate, address the audience even when it's small or non-existent! Yes it feels silly, but this is YOUR stream, you have to control the vibe, you have to set the tone. It's the thing that makes me the most crazy when i go into a chat of someone i've vibed with and followed because i wanna be supportive and they are dead ass silent, and i come in and start chatting and it's the only thing that keeps them from being silent. You gotta take control of your chat! I'm happy that I can come in and get my smaller streamer friends talking, but I can't always be there to create random bs and talk, you gotta do that yourself all the time. It's so much more important than people think and it does take practice! just keep pushing yourself to be ALIVE in your chat, because it is the only way you are going to have an engaging chat yknow?

    Solid points as always TwoShoes. I have to be honest that my biggest mistake since starting, cuz I'm a newbie, is that I thought I had to have a camera. The camera had to be there. What I learned is that the camera and my little laptop with streaming was just too much for it. It made my stream and videos just a studdering mess. I turned the Camera off and honestly it flows just so much better. Now to save up for that better PC and then that camera will go back on. Until then, I am just a voice for now.

    I am still learning to cope with the feeling of failure after posting something in my Discord or on Twitter and no one reacts to it. No likes. No emojis. My Discord is quiet most of the time and it can be very disheartening. Do they care when I post my schedule or if I wish them good morning? It’s tough.

    • @xTwoShoes
      @xTwoShoes  Рік тому +7

      I've dealt with this a lot. It can be tough. But remember, numbers arent the be all and end all. Sure they are nice. But learning to accept failures/flops is a skill that needs to be learned also. You got thisssss

  • @KoopaBOOEY
    @KoopaBOOEY Рік тому +6

    After streaming for a few years, I’m still learning a lot from yours and other UA-camr videos about Twitch streaming and growing. Some advice I already know and am glad I would never do (staying silent, buying expensive things at the beginning), but some other advice you gave like “not giving up since some are overnight successes and others take time” is reassuring to me. You’re also totally right about being on too many social media platforms. I’m on 4, and it is pretty taxing to figure out what people will like seeing on them.
    Thank you so much for giving us these helpful and succinct videos. I’m definitely checking out Placeit🙂

    Many that blow up too quick don't have the content to retain viewers. Content is the only thing that will grow and keep viewers interested

    Worst mistake is trying to finish a game I started on stream that I wasn't having fun with anymore. ALWAYS make sure you are having a good time on stream!

    • @SpookyDeer
      @SpookyDeer Рік тому +2

      This is a good lesson to learn! There will always be people that give you a hard time for moving onto something new but you’ll do better work if you’re not torturing yourself

    Your videos are great! I'm surprised you don't get more views. As a person who streams an extremely oversaturated game (for a little over a year now), I could not have grown without getting lucky and finding some great people to network with and UA-cam Shorts... and even then, I'm averaging 5-10 viewers. I'm in the process of finding a different game to stream because it is just so hard to grow...

    Great advice throughout 👍
    I'm just a small channel here on YT, been doing in 2 years, and only just started on Twitch, about 4 weeks. And nothing prepared me for the overwhelming and awkward feeling of people donating cash and gifting 100s in subscriptions. It's something I never wanna get used to either, as it's genuinely overwhelming, from a few dollars to triple figures. I really wasn't ready for that. So you're right, you don't wanna blow up over night. That is unless you're some sort of narcissist without emotion and a sense of entitlement. 🤣

    I know I’m a little late to this video, but I do have a question. When saying branding, every video and every advice TikTok is talking about the visuals. Logo, overlays, alerts, whatever. But what I struggle with, is the other part of branding. Who are you? What makes your stream unique? What is typically you? That you can then use for the visual branding. Do you have any advice on how to figure that part out? 😅
