- If you're trying to unlock Twitch Affiliate, you just need 3 average viewers.
The thing is I realized that a lot of people don’t understand that while becoming a Twitch Affiliate is cool, it doesn’t actually change anything or really matter, and focusing so hard on becoming an affiliate will really hurt your growth.
This is because of a few BIG mistakes that you need to avoid in order to grow to 3 average viewers!

How To Create A Stream Schedule To Grow Your Stream
The first step to growing your average viewers is consistency, and that means a schedule. I have mentioned this a few times but people are creatures of habit, which isn’t a bad thing. We all have a certain routine to our day, and enjoying Twitch is just another part of that routine.
If you want people to return to your stream, and grow your average viewership then you need to create a schedule and stick to it so you can become a part of their routine. Figure out what days or nights you can go live, and for at least an hour or two-stream those nights. I would recommend trying to also be consistent with the types of stream.
Variety streamers like myself have a MUCH MUCH harder time growing because people often only watch for 1 type of game, so when we switch they leave if they aren’t into the new game or there for the streamer. So pick a game or category, focus on building your niche in that and you should be good to go.

How To Get People Invested In Your Stream To Grow Your Average Viewers
Streaming is a story just like any other form of entertainment, whether it is Ludwigs rise to triumph against Jump King, or Justaminx on Love or Host. Streamers tell stories during a stream, or across multiple streams.
One of the reasons smaller streamers struggle to grow their average viewership is because they don’t connect a story to their stream, meaning viewers can’t get invested in it. So here is my question, What is the story you are going to invest viewers into? Are you climbing the ranks in a competitive game? Trying to lower your personal best in a speed run? This story also gives you a chance to build a channel narrative around you and your community, something I will go into more in the next tip actually.

I think i checked yesterday it was like 0.5/3 hahahaha
Like 0 avg viewers
0.8
I have a 4.4 average.
@@thesett2744 facts bro. Its from streaming so many times with zero to 1. Same here
Been streaming just under two years now. Just passed 1k followers and hitting averages around 25-35. That grew from maybe 5 or 6 avid viewers who never missed a stream, they told their friends, brought people onto the discord ect. Never underestimate the power of someone in love with your content!
Great video dude :)
That’s great man! Keep smashing it! Thanks for the kind words! Congrats again!
Does anyone else feel like these have been coming out at a very convenient time for themseves? Thanks so much for posting these!! They're completely different and legitimate tips for anyone really wanting to go above and beyond affiliate! keep up the good work man!
I just hope the videos helped! Let me know if you need anything covered! Thanks for the support!
I've barely started streaming in twitch. Decided I wanted a fresh account so I made twitch, twitter, and this YT. The algorithm immediately hit me with these tips. Primo stuff, makes me excited to do it.
I just took streaming seriously about a week ago and was streaming every so often. I have 27 followers and an average of 2.2 veiwers
Great start! Keep it up dude!
Great job! Keep it up!
Hey same here:) had to take a break though because of too much school work.
Me too! Started the weekend of Halloween ! I have 17 followers and 2.2 viewers on average! It’s fun!
@@StreamScheme does your twitch just chop off the viewers torso? how do you have 2.2 viewers
My average viewer count is almost 2 at this point. Your videos are are helping a lot with that. Thanks a lot :D
I’ve streamed so much with 0 viewers that’s now even having 5 barely gets my average viewership up to 3.
Maintain that 5 and eventually your average will pick up, it counts the last 30 days, so if you hold 5 for 30 days, you'll be at 5 average! Good luck!
@@StreamScheme I honestly dont get it I had so many people yesterday on stream still my number went back down
Your videos really helped me, from averging 1 viewer for a week, I later moved to stardew valley, that same stream, I got 4 average, viewers and two total active chatters, thanks man!
That’s great! I hope the videos helped, good luck and keep it up!
I've been binging these videos so much that Eljay was in my dream last night helping me stream, HA.
Oh no! Nobody wants that hahaha
I’ve been watching 2-3 of these videos today and working on my stream right after. Lots of things I didn’t know as a beginner and was super happy I was able to do some things myself with the help of these videos. I had my first live stream last night with a face cam and was soooo nervous I cannot wait to stream again this weekend and get to that space where playing for an audience isn’t so nerve wracking. Thanks so much keep up this gold mine of a channel
Glad I could help! You got this, Manty! :)
I have 1 average viewer and I'm on my third stream. So super new!
Starting out can be so much fun! Good luck!
CONGRATS!
I have been following your tips and they’re really helpful. I’ve been streaming for less than a week (3 streams so far) and I have 46 followers currently and an average view count of 16! Thanks so much for your help :)
Smashing it out of the park!
Great advice again! I’ve been streaming for about 3 months. Got around 250 followers but only averaging about 10 viewers per stream. However they are hardcore chatters. Will continue to concentrate on fostering that sense of community
That core is so hard to build! Now its about letting new people feel welcomed into it! Keep it up!
I started streaming about 2,5 months ago and I'm at 16 average viewers right now! I've been having such a blast with streaming so far, I never could have known before hand how much happiness it would bring me!
I've been seriously pursuing streaming for just under 4 months now and I'm at 135 followers and 5.5 average viewers. I think the tip will help me the most from the video is fostering a very active chat and really engaging with people as much as possible. Already have affiliate, but the only reason I really wanted it was to have transcoding for viewers to be able to lower the quality of the stream and watch more easily if needed! Excited to keep growing the community and meeting new people. I'm sure I can be doing more to better the stream, but it's a slow process and not everyone likes to really give a critical opinion when asked for it, but your tips on being critical about your own content have been extremely helpful. Always looking for a way to improve the next stream.
Good luck! You’ve got your code 5 viewers, now do your best to make your content and stream for them the most entertaining thing ever! Keep it up!
@@StreamScheme Thanks! Love your channel a lot! It's really one of the most genuinely helpful channels I've come across that give real advice that I believe will help smaller streamers grow and isn't vague about what to do or just give over-generalized tips.
Thank you for the tips. The one that stuck the most with me is the narrative. In my case I'm back in gaming after a few years off and to be able to get better and show that the young ones arent the only good ones. I want to get good enough to play against them in competitions. Also in turn I want to show everyone that no matter how bad you are right now you can get to where you want to go if you set your mind to it.
Hope the video helped! Narrative and story are crucial.
Always great tips, man! Thank you!
I really look forward to a future video for setting a Community Discord!
Coming soon! Very soon!
4 months in and bouncing around 12-15 average viewers. Still got a long way to go, but making progress. This man speaks so much truth, the focus on community and consistency is so key. Be consistent in streaming, and be consistent in making friends on other channels (networking).
You're awesome G, top quality as always
Hey thanks man! Great numbers by the way! Hope the video helped!
God i wish i never stopped after trying it once in March..i can only think about where i'd be right now. Probably still less than your average amount but it's something to think about. Regardless, i'm well proud of you man. Keep it up and don't give in!
@@katashu7689 Thanks so much, really means a lot. Never count yourself out, in another 6 months you could be asking yourself the same thing. Better late than never right? :) Big love g 👊🏽
Been streaming for about 2 years now and kinda been in a slump with how to improve my stream and get viewer retainership and I think these examples and ideas will give me the motivation to keep going and hopefully grow to something I want to be and just wanted to say thank you very much for your videos
Glad I could be helpful!
I've been streaming for about a week now, I have one viewer that almost always watched me, but only 2-3 follows so far. Your videos have given me some ideas on what to do to improve my streams, and I can't thank you enough!!
I just returned to streaming after adjusting to college and I've been following your advice! I'm happy to say that I'm getting some active chatters! I'm just 7 follows away from affiliate, with an average of 3.6 viewers! Really grateful for all of your videos, and I'll always be supporting you in my own way! (since I can't really catch you live due to timezone differences :
Yeah I can help you reach the followers if you help me on that average viewers
I just hit affiliate a couple of days ago, started streaming mid September, I have 58 followers and an average viewership of about 6 right now.
That’s such a great start! Keep it up!
@@StreamScheme thanks so much! Consistency has definitely helped! Got my first 10 subs within a week from the people I have met while playing/streaming over the last month and had zero expectations of getting subscribers right away.
@@lolwat5569 That's fantastic! Keep it up!
Step 1: Make 3 accounts
Step 2: Go live
And then all 3 accounts can subscribe as well costing you 3 subscriptions a month! Huzzah! We've cracked the code! hahaha
Won't work unless you give them phones to other people to log in for you. If you're on the same type of IP addresses they won't count ;)
@@StreamScheme I’m confused cuz everyone is say that you have to pay to follow someone but I can follow people without having to pay
@@finnkuhneman Following is free, on Twitch the paid version is subscriptions and you get a few perks for that.
xd
Another valuable video (as all have been so far. Seems as though the norm!!). Thank you for all of the help! Great things that quite a few dont think about but will now because of ya'll! Thanks again! ✌🏿
Hey! Happy to help mate, thanks for the lovely comment!
I've been streaming for about 2 years on and off. This year is when I actually starting taking it seriously and I am now at an average of around 10-12 average views. Your videos have a lot of tips that even I didn't know of so I'm hoping I can learn more to keep growing my community!
I think what I like most about your videos thus far, is the fact that you are honest to the point of a bit of brutality and I think that's something that a lot of ppl don't hear enough of...I've made a few of these mistakes, but hopefully I can correct them now. Thank you.
I feel a bit bad sometimes hahaha I just hope it isn't too harsh, I try at least give actionable ways to improve when as well! Hope the videos help!
@@StreamScheme No, it's not harsh it's the truth. You can't fix mistakes if you keep making them because someone wanted to get a lot of views on their video so they make everything sound easy and simple. Everything you said makes perfect sense. I always thought getting affiliate as quickly as possible made perfect sense (I've helped several ppl round up followers in order to get them there) but what you said about building up a strong core makes perfect sense. Don't apologize for telling it like it is...
I've been streaming for 1.5 month and i have 4 avg viewers and 100 follows. i am now startning to try and follow a lot of your tips from now! btw this is a super helpfull channel
You can do it! Hope the video helped! Thanks for the kind words!
Been following your videos for some time! Started streaming during lockdown to make some social links (about five months). Thanks to your tips I've grown a bit averaging about 5 ish viewers and 160 followers. Plenty of room for improvement but it has been a fun journey thusfar. Thanks for all the information and content on how to improve! You've lent a great hand towards helping me keep up a somewhat active social life during all this!
Glad to help! Good luck out there mate!
@@StreamScheme it's a big pond! Plenty of room to swim in it! Same to yourself, I'll have to drop by your stream if you're ever live during handy hours in Ireland!
Love the tips. Thanks. I’m 0-1 viewers. Pretty new to actually trying to grow. One problem is I just play popular games that I like. I need to find something that I enjoy that I can grow on. I’ve been binging your vids and they are awesome. I feel like I know more and my stream is more interactive (when I have a few viewers).
Keep up the great work man. One thing is that I do have a guy that keeps coming back and we have good chats. Just need a couple more.
Our time zones are so different I never thought i'd catch an upload early. Pog
#earlygang let's go!
I played a small game called Krunker yesterday, got 2 follows, seven max viewers and 4.2 average viewers with your tips ty
Keep it up!
I must say.. your videos are very informative and reassuring, I say reassuring because you have confirmed I am doing alot of things right already as a newbie myself, I also shall take on board your tips that made me think about what I'm doing (or not doing)
So I've been watching a quite few of your videos just trying my hand at streaming only getting 1.7 average viewers for the moment but I'm trying to get to affiliate so I can add in stream points to make my streams more interactive, Thanks for all the videos keep it up
You can do it! Thanks for the kind words!
hey man, these video's are amazing and give me so many ideas on how to grow. I was wondering, your stream looks amazing and really makes me jealous. Did you make all the animations yourself?
Nope, one of the first videos on this channel is me buying and installing that exact pack, go check it out :)
@@StreamScheme ah thanks man, literally found out about your videos today so I figured there is probably some information hidden in older videos. Once again great videos, I used to watch Harris Heller and this is such a refreshing view on the topic. Great insight and especially relatable for small streamers.
Appreciate the kind words! Harris is incredibly talented, and I respect him a lot! Hope the videos help!
2:30
me who just wanted custom emotes :0
Hahaha Everyone has different motivation but I’d recommend looking at my video on BTTV if you want custom emotes and you aren’t an affiliate. Good luck!
For Custom Emotes. You can also commission an artist that knows how to design Emotes for ya.
@@LilDevyl17 ik ^^
I want to make more alerts!! And also to be captain in stream raiders. Lol
Great video, great tips as someone returning to twitch after a 5 year break was very helpful. Keep up the good work and hopefully chat to you discord. Take care keep smiling. Have less than 10 viewers streaming for over a month now.
Glad it helped! Good luck!
I cant thank you enough for this channel and all this useful content im going to start streaming soon and this has given me alot to think about !
You can do it! Happy to help!
My problems are, when I play a new game or a game I've been playing but not one people want, they leave instead of watching me play the game. I have a character and emotions and chat with people, but they only want to watch if I'm playing a specific game. Ex: I played Minecraft on stream for the first time, and no one wanted to stay unless I switched to another game I play. I still do have around 4-10 viewers, and some joined my discord server.
Everyone struggles with this, you become known for one game and struggle to change, you just have to do your best to engage directly with chat and make it about you instead of the game.
Hype up changes and how excited you are to pick up a new one and play it with them as well. It just takes time.
13 followers, 1.5 avg viewers, The reason I want affiliate is just for the stream quality option :D
Affiliates don't unlock stream quality, those are filtered down based on active users.
So Partners get it first, then affiliates with high average viewers, subs, etc, and then it slowly works its way all the way to the people who aren't affiliates.
I always stream off the peak time so I have always had quality options for my stream. Hope that helps!
Already liking the video before i watch cause ik its gonna be great! ty for the tips in the past I've been getting quite a bit of viewers now thanks to ur help!
Glad to hear it! That's so great that the videos have helped you! Good luck! Keep it up!
Thanks for making me better, I appreciate all your videos, some I have even repeated just to get the information in my head enough. Subscribed!
I will try out your advice in this and in many of your other videos and see if this can help me build my own community :)
Sadly I live in the EU and live the typical 8 to 4 life so I will only enjoy your vods, but honestly you are hilarious man :D
I have an average of 10 viewers and I’ve only just started streaming again
Great start! Seriously huge!
I started about a 3 weeks ago and have 1.3 avg viewers and 18 followers. The first 14 were from a long time ago (friends) Still don't know how I'm ever gonna get to 50 hehe
What games are you playing? Have you thought about playing something very niche and focusing on getting just a few viewers from there? And maybe some friends to boost you in the tiny categories?
@@StreamScheme yeah, I have been playing mainly stardew valley and I have about 3 viewers rn 1 being me, 1 is a mod, and the other is an actual viewer. My avg for affiliate isn't going up much cause of all the hours I've streamed in the last month lol
Hi! Thank you for all of these super helpful videos and tips. I just subscribed this morning and I look forward to continuing to learn from your experience! I have the Logitech C922 cam at the moment and saw you had the same one early on. I'm going to browse through your videos and see if you've made one with a setup using that!
Welcome! I haven't made one yet but I would recommend just focusing on watching lighting tutorials and setting the webcam settings manually. You can look up 3 point lighting and/or budget lighting systems.
I am working on doing one as well but in the mean time that would be the place to start! Hope the videos help!
Mine is currently at 4.4 average viewers, I've been streaming for 3 weeks and have gotten affiliate and a pretty solid viewer base. I see several people come back each stream, it's amazing! Also your tips actually helped me soo much to really improve my stream
been streaming for 5 months and have 2.1k followers and 25 avg viewers couldn’t be happier 😁❤️
You’re killing it! Great work!
I have 1-2 average viewers, BUT I just reached 32 followers and had my first dono!! I'm so stoked!!!
Edit: im not even worried about gaining money, I'm doing what I love! I'm so grateful to everyone who follows me. A good idea is to make friends with people you meet on multi-player games. (:
That’s great, congratulations! Careful having people talk on your stream from random multiplayer games! It can be risky sometimes! Do your best though!
@@StreamScheme thank you so much! Don't worry, I'm very careful about who I actually let talk on my stream. If its a multi-player game that includes voice chat I wait a few games to see if they're a cool person before telling them I stream or inviting them to my discord. :)
I've had the most problems with Among Us, unfortunately. People will occasionally see my server code and join with names spelling out some pretty terrible stuff. Itsbhard to moderate but I deal with it as quick as I can.
@@StreamScheme I have two questions if you don't mind answering them: do you have any videos or advice on how to choose which games to stream? Most games im very passionate about have a very small, nearly (if not completely) dead fan base and im scared that ill never actually succeed like I know I can because of that, if I choose to stream them often.
2. What are your thoughts on having donation goals before you're even affiliate? Is it a little pretentious? The dono i received was totally out of the blue, and it kind of inspired me to want to make a dono goal which would go towards improving the quality of my stream.
1. Yep, check the channel I have a video on game selection.
and 2. Don't monetise at all, focus on just creating good content. Money will come from great content.
Just my thoughts though :)
@@StreamScheme I respect your thoughts and I 100% agree. Being honest, I put a donation goal up already but it just felt...wrong. Thanks so much for the input, ill go check out some more of your videos! Keep up the good work, you're doing an awesome thing!
I’ve taken streaming seriously for about a month now, I’m at about 37 followers with almost 2 average viewers. Eljay your tips have really helped me find motivation to be patient and I also see it in practice with your own streams. Thanks for looking out for us :)
I’ve been streaming for around 8 months consistently, averaging around 15-20 viewers and just hit 1k followers! Couldn’t be happier with everything. You’re very quickly becoming one of my favourite channels on UA-cam and I love the content you produce! It’s all so well structured and insanely informative!
Hey thanks for the kind words, you’re absolutely killing it! Great numbers so far! Keep it up!
I’ve been streaming for about 2 months and I have 38 followers with 1.9 average views
Great start! What games do you play and what do you use to encourage followers?
4 months 15 adv 7 or 8 chatters and I end up doing press ups on stream... I love my small community, and you sir with your tips have been a godsend
Oh god, I’d be doomed doing exercise!
averaging around 15. I have been hitting 22 average some days. Lot of your tips are accurate. I got a few more tricks though for newbies, I haven't heard you say. But for the most part, spot on.
I'm just started streaming a few days ago and these videos are really helpful and informative. Thank you for all the advice!
No worries! Super glad they are helpful!
What have you been streaming?
@@thomasbeckett-allen7418 Right now I'm streaming Destiny 2, Cold War, The Binding of Isaac and Watch Dogs Legion.
I'm planning on streaming my experience with Cyberpunk 2077 when it eventually comes out
I am a new streamer and i got like 1 random viewer every once in a while, and ive been watching your videos alot and I really appreciate everything your doing for everyone!! So i am very greatful for you doing all of this
Your channel is super underrated; you make fantastic content. I just got my first 4 subs, affiliated a week ago and started streaming November 1st!
You’re smashing it man! Keep it up!
2.73 is my norm. I am trying to get better, and you are helping alot. Thank you!
Made my twitch account about a month and a half ago. At 54 followers and usually around 2/3 average viewers depending on the content for the day. Your videos helped me start off so much!
I started streaming in september, my current average viewers is 1.9 with 50 followers. These videos have helped me out a TON. Please continue to make these, you’ve answered questions I didn’t know I even had ! Thanks a ton :)
Hey thanks for the kind words! I’m glad they helped, let me know if you need a specific topic covered.
I started streaming 2 weeks ago, I have 32 followers and 4 average viewers. Thanks for your content, it's really helping me improve my streaming!
Happy to help! Keep it up!
these videos bang bro, learnt so much that i never thought of anything!
Thanks a lot!
Hey thanks for the kind words man!
Just got around to watching this video, I am currently an affiliate and thanks to your advice and videos my mindset has changed. At first I just wanted that affiliate status and was so focused on it but now I am focused on giving people who watch me or my content a great experience that makes them want to come back. currently my AVG viewership is at 3.4 average viewers, and am starting to get a following when people come into my stream from the search have gained a few followers just from them watching my content.
Glad it was helpful! Road to great content! Let’s go!
I average around 5 viewers. been streaming for around 6+ months ish? Don't really remember when I made the switch from FB gaming to Twitch anymore.
Btw, I always look out for vids for tips and stuff regarding stream growth and such and your channel's easily one of my faves since discovering it a few months ago. Keep it up man! Thankful for the info you share
5 average is great in the grand scheme of twitch honestly, thanks for the kind words! I hope the videos help!
Thanks for all your tips dude iam finding them really helpful 👍
9,5 after 2 weeks.
And that's a lot because of you! (Hence why I called you the MVP from UA-cam in todays stream)
It might also be because I'm streaming Zelda: Ocarina Of time and it's my first playthrough. So many passionate people in that community, and few people who are playing it for the first time.
I did stream a little 2 years ago, but just did 1.5 average back then. I just played the mainstream games and didn't interact with the viewers.
Hey killing it man! Keep up the hard work! I love me some Ocarina of time, heavily been considering playing it again!
I’m new to Twitch and been streaming here for around 4 months and averaging about 60-80 viewers per stream and pushing for partner. I was a partner on Mixer but Mixer shut down so we had to “start fresh” but we came over with a community that we already built up on that platform which helped a lot. Im new to your channel and love your videos! Keep up the good work! - KaponeGaming
That’s rough With mixer but great job on keeping the current audience, killing it man! Seriously!
I currently am unable to stream on twitch atm so I'm on here looking for tips I can transfer to UA-cam videos, and was really glad you incorporated that into your 1st point.
Also definitely looking forward to the community discord video. It's something I've been wanting to do once I get a few core members.
Thanks for the kind words! Most platforms are the same, hard work, consistent schedule, and good content is how to grow in general!
I have an avg of 4-5 viewers been streaming for about 8 months. Growth is coming slowly. My deployment put growth on hold for a while.
Good work on getting your core audience! Smashing it!
Thank you very much for your tips! I started to stream about a month ago. Yesterday, I had 5.3 average viewers, with 10 viewers (max.) watching simultaneously. That was such an incredible feeling! I am struggling to attract new viewers during prime time though. That might be another valuable suggestion: if you stream at rather unusual times, you are easier to be found, and those viewers that found you then might come back during prime time. That seems to be working for me: the people which are coming by regularly initially discovered my channel when I was streaming on Saturday/Sunday morning. :)
As long as you maintain a solid schedule as well you won't suffer too much from this!
I started streaming about 3 weeks ago and I’m at 1.8 viewers in average, but there is always that one guy who’s there every stream to chat and have fun! I look forward to incounter more people like that in my chat!
LOL I’ve been telling my tinder matches to go to my stream for the past year now! Glad to see it’s getting its recognition
Genius!
I’ve been streaming for a month sadly just straight from my Xbox but I do what I can with what I get and so far I average at 4 viewers and I enjoy every second of it. I’m very close to affiliate and after watching your videos you really helped me get things better content wise and viewing wise.
Hey keep it up Austin, good luck!
I just hit 200 followers (sitting at around 6 average viewers). Definitely agree that affiliate shouldn't be your only goal, it's a nice goal but once you hit it, not much changes. Great video, thanks :)
Nice work! Hope the video helped!
@@StreamScheme yeah thanks dude, I find your videos to be very encouraging :)
I just recently found this channel and this has helped a lot. Im only at 2.8 viewers average at the moment but I really think I'll be able to grow and have fun with it. 😁
Glad to hear the contents helping!
Been streaming for a couple months, only have 1 avg. viewer usually lol.
Thanks for the kind words, good luck man!
Nice video! helped a lot! I average around 4-5 average viewers consistantly, ive been streaming for about a week and a half!
Nice work! Keep it up mate!
what i love about my streaming friends: everyone is raiding each other, doing their best to not "stream over each other" and stuff.. it's like a private group just streaming for each other
I'm a filmmaker too and I realized I didn't really like watching streams because they didn't have enough story or interaction. I figured that I could make a story each stream that also bled into a bigger story every month and create a ton of interaction through a bunch of programs that let the viewer completely interact with my PC, like inverting my controls, or shining a bright light in my face so I can't see my monitor, or even shielding me from that stuff; that way the viewer can also become a character in the story. True interaction. It gets pretty crazy, but it's been working really well! So far I get anywhere from 5 to 9 viewers on average. Thanks for the tips it's been helping a lot!
Hey that’s great! Keep it up, I love the ingenuity!
I’ve been streaming consistently for about 2 weeks now and I have a average viewership of like 1 and I LOVE IT
Please make a video about the understandings of copyrighted music during stream, and what options there are. Love the vids by the way very very helpful !!
Working on it, such a wide and constantly changing topic that it makes it tough but trying too!
Awesome, I am working on building my youtube channel and wanting to start streaming, but the whole music stuff seems confusing. I have thought about trying the epidemic sound, but not sure. Anywho thank you for the tips!!🤗
Hey I started to treat streaming seriously and after watching your vids I'm at 60 followers already. Thanks man
Killing it! Keep it up man!
Thanks to your guide, I got the twitch affiliate email! These tips really help so again thank you. 💗
Glad it helped! Congratulations! That's so amazing!
I've been streaming for 2 months next week - I am at 190 Followers but I only average 7-12 viewers - my views has been all over the place, I get a lot of new people but not a lot that stick around - I think its bad audio or just not great content, I am working tirelessly at it though I've put well over 150 hours into building the stream, I have a lot of dedicated people in my community and that helps a ton I am so thankful for them all. I am wanting to grow, streaming is my dream. I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong, idk, but watching your videos always helps and gives me things to think about to work on so THANK YOU so much for your videos.
It takes time my man, the hard work is crucial. Just focus on doing your best and seeing the positive steps you take forward. Never stop trying to improve, but always provide that consistency that makes others love your stream. Good luck!
@@StreamScheme Thank you, I am starting a new Schedule this week and transitioning into a more defined schedule next week. I am hoping to buy a wave 3 on black Friday or Cyber Monday - that should help the sound. I am working on quitting Vaping as well to help with the sound I just went back and re-watched my video from tonight after changing the mic settings today and the vape is super annoying - message to all vapers - it doesn't sound good XD. So going to stop that - idk, just have to keep working at it. Ill get there, but only with help from your videos So keep making them Please!!! XD
I started streaming a month ago. 40 followers now. Around 4 avg viewers but this normally include friends who pop by to chat. I have 2 to 3 regulars who pop by whenever they catch me live.
Recently started naming titles, planning content and currently building a discord with advice from your videos. I hope it goes well :) my aim is to reach affiliate by the end of 2020 and have a more consistent schedule!
Good luck! Hope the new ideas help!
Yesss the discord! As soon as I made one and people joined more and more people wanted to join it and more come back and watch my stream
I'm actually really glad you mentioned tinder, I've been using it for promo but I was worried if it wasn't "ethical" and was gonna delete it. Thanks for this video! helpful as always, I actually use your tips and it's been helping ^ ^ thou affiliate would be nice, my goal is to build a fun community to laugh with
I will be honest, I was just joking around with the tinder thing but hey, if it works it works! Just keep yourself safe! A lot of.... weirdos out there.
@@StreamScheme yeah I just have my profile, i don't use it for dating purposes. However it does seem a bit sketchy, will most likely delete it in the long run. Thanks for your honesty!
I've been streaming for 2 years. I have 113 followers and 3 average viewers. I've literally been binge watching all of your content over the past 2 days.
Hope some of it has helped give you an idea of where you can go next! :)
ive streamed 4 times, average 2.8 viewers, have 14 followers, and im taking a shitton of notes based on the advice you’ve given me and many other youtubers like you have. hoping to see some good growth soon!
What are your next few steps you're going to implement do you think?
@@StreamScheme the first thing im going to figure out is who my audience is! its pretty important yeah?
next thing im going to do is follow a schedule better. i kinda follow mine already, but i need to improve at it.
@@itsclockwork9041 Doing exactly what i'm doing. Hoping it turns out great man, routing for you
I've been streaming about 3 months now and have an average of 2.3 viewers and 20 followers. I do art mostly so some of the game tips don't matter but I loved your title video and I think taking the narrative angle is good idea. I've been struggling with a schedual because of college and just took a week off because of all my piled up work. I think that your tips are good and def go against everything else people who are popular before always give.
Love the video!
You can do it, once things calm down try to lock that schedule in! Thanks for the kind words, hope the video helped :)
I work 4 shift and my working schedule changes every week. Sometimes even during the week.
Still managed to built a small community. Why should i stop streaming? Sure its much harder to reach your goals and there are different people watching at different times of the day and sometimes people only manage to hop in once every few weeks.
Tell us that we have to put in a lot of extra effort, that we have to walk that extra mile or sometimes even two extra miles but please dont tell people like me to just stop streaming!
Its like telling people to not play a game on hardmode, just because its hard... :D
Besides of that: Thank you so much for all the work you put in your videos!
Its people like you, who play a big role WHY i was still able to create a small community :)
Hi man, love your videos. I have a question. Do you have any videos/suggestions about musicians streaming on twitch?
From what I have seen the most successful way for musicians to grow on Twitch is through meme/pop culture/video game music and uploading covers of songs to UA-cam and pushing people to watch live with small CTAs like "Record Live On Twitch At Twitch.tv/username"
Having redeemable points to ask for song requests as well, but generally the idea is to tap into a popular niche and build in it, similar to how those weaponsmith UA-camrs had been making videos for years but all blew up when they started making weapons and armour from games and anime.
Hope that helps!
@@StreamScheme thanks man 🙏
i started streaming a month ago and just reached affiliate yesterday, but my biggest fear is my friends will stop tuning in eventually and the channel growth gets stagnant.
that's why ive been doing research and trying to improve the kind of storyteller/content creator that i want to be.
I've been binging your videos and i could say my last 3 streams after implementing your tips on the 10 minute recording, preplanning talk points and stream titles, ive felt more confident in my ability to stream and entertain in general, which shines through to the audience. my chat has been more active, and ive been able to retain more viewers from raids and to communicate with them.
(when i got my first raid i felt very overwhelmed by the increased viewership and completely shut down)
trial and error. i want to treat every stream like a learning opportunity. heres to the future
Appreciate all the tips! I’m at 0.3 viewers. Just got some tech to improve the quality of my stream. Should help boost that baby up
I just started, 3 streams in. Just chilling, 2 avg viewers, 20 followers, having fun 🤩
love whatever u saidddddddddd ..ur helpin me out alot
Hope it is helping your stream grow :) Good luck!
Awesome tips the only issue I have is a schedule since I work I do want to make videos but not really sure what do
Hey! Have you watched my latest video on UA-cam growth? That might be a good start! Thanks for the kind words!
This is interesting, I'm not so much planning on streaming to get popular or make money but as a fun hobby to do. I guess my "story" would be the overall quest to play all the games I own (there are over 700)
Binge watching all these videos like im in college and taking actual notes. 😅 Thanks for teaching ⭐
Hope they help!
just followed this man on twitch due to his amazing advice
Just here hoping the video helps man!
I started streaming early September, I have 74 followers and average 6.7 viewers. Thank you for videos like these, it helps a lot!
Glad the videos are helping! Good luck!
I've been streaming almost every day from the November 1st and tried out Minecraft, Terraria and Enter the Gungeon with a max of 1 stream reaching 2 viewers, but to be honest I wasnt entertaining and my streams were more like "come watch me do nothing" .. someone suggested I should stream warthunder and since I know german I think I'll to incorporate that into the stream, your videos helped me alot in seeing how I could improve, and this video taught me that a schedule isn't just "stream a random game at a set time", thanks!
Hey! Glad the video helped, hopefully you can grow with a bit of hard work and strategy!
This guy actually gets it. I've been streaming for around 4 years, and my first check didnt even come until a year in, and it was $100. Great feeling, but it doesn't always happen. Best advice is focus on UA-cam videos that grab subscribers, then direct them to your stream.
External signals such as YT, Twitter, or other platforms are great for exponential growth! Not 100% required when just starting out but at some point, they are crucial to expanding the growth.
Hope the video was interesting or helpful!
