When Is Twitch Most Active?
If you check Sullygnome, which tracks live channels and it is linked in the description, you’ll be able to see the trends of viewers per channel and live channels. I have mine set to UTC+10:00 which is my timezone here in Australia, which shows me that usually, the time when there is a peak amount of channels live on Twitch is 7AM AEST, or 9PM in the United Kingdom, or around 1PM in California.
At 8PM AEST, my time it has the least amount of channels live, and then it begins to ramp until as I said, 7AM AEST when it triples in live channels, that’s a lot of channels to compete with, isn’t it?
You’ll also see that the most amount of viewers using Twitch peaks almost perfectly with the exact same trend, which makes sense as more content and more viewers. At its lowest, 1.2 million viewers, and at its highest around 3.7 million viewers.

How Often Should You Stream On Twitch
I get asked a lot how often you should stream in order to grow, and I think the answer is different depending on the person but there are some rules that you need to follow.
You see, all content creation is a velocity game, don’t get me wrong it's a marathon and not a sprint, lucky for me because I haven’t run in years, but essentially you need to be building more of an audience than you are losing. If you look at channels on UA-cam or Twitch, you’ll often see they can have a huge number of subscribers or followers but low views.
This is usually because the audience has been gained over a long period of time, and that means as new subscribers or followers have come in, older ones have lost interest, lost their account, or any other reasons. I call these Graveyard Subs, because they are dead accounts essentially. It’s why a lot of you guys have heaps of followers but struggle with 3 average viewers.
So when it comes to how often you should stream, I do think picking 2 - 3 days a week to stream for a minimum of 2 - 3 hours is the best bet if you want to grow. I stream 5 nights a week, for 3 hours or more because I can manage to do that while working my 9-5 and doing the videos here. I rarely miss a night, meaning the velocity of my growth is higher than graveyard subs.
The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.

I stream 3 hours Monday Wednesday and Friday on twitch at 7pm EST.
I'm from Germany and I streamed till now so... Yea too long and wrong time 😅
You've got the schedule, now just have to stick to it!
@vincenzo_8991 There isn't a wrong time, its just about being consistent and scheduling it out properly! Good luck!
I stream twice on weeknights for 2~3 hours each and once on a weekend morning for 4 hours. It works well for my schedule, but since I stream from Japan I tend to get hit very different demographics on weekdays vs weekends.
Hey dude, because of you I've hit 11 average viewers within 2 weeks of streaming, gonna hit affiliate tomorrow. Thank you😁😁
That is awesome! You put in the hard work, and it is paying off! Killing it man!
Damn what games do u play
@@kryptickeira7999 initially it was slay the spire , small game, grew me up to 15 followers. From there, Among Us - despite being saturated, somehow got lucky and got a huge growth spurt from there :D Only explanation is possibly the 'playing with viewers' tag. Now, after 5 weeks, i'm affiliated, with 165 followers, and I peaked at 19 viewers , with an average of 10 or so. Its all going well 😊😊😊
@@cryingattheclub5150 Currently at 210 followers, with the name of 'That Lad You Know' :))
@@tjtmashups3768 omg thats amazing man I’ll follow you
“You shouldn’t stream every single day” There goes my 12 days of Christmas ideas 😖😂
Special event streams are different! I just mean, for a normal streamer starting out it is a bad idea!
@@StreamScheme fair enough fair enough
I was literally thinking the same thing, but I was gonna add an hour for each day! I decided against it because I was drained by day 5 XD
@@liloozymaki7743 💀💀💀 hope you find something else to do bro! Gl!
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I love how every video has great advice unparalleled by anyone out there!
Just doing the best I can! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support!
The other people who make youtube stuff similar to this have lots of good advise, but a few of the videos you’ve made really seem to hit exactly where I want them to, Having watched like 10 different channels for information, (yours last) yours was the only one I had to pause and actually write good info down, because yours is unique while the others all parrot each other. Love these vids man, keep it up.
@@skappzz2866 Damn, this means so much to me!
I can't believe that you, actually you and not a team or bot, respond to every single person. You are so dedicated. Its admirable, for sure.
Id be interested in seeing a video where you show your actual notes/notebook to better understand how to plan for streams.
It’s just the right thing to do I guess, and no worries! Working on it!
I second this! I would love to see how you prepare your notes and show some of them as example.
third this :p
@@manuferreri Thanks guys! I won't be able to do it forever but I will do it while I can!
@@StreamScheme i do love that but i was actually referring to a video of you showing your notes, i think for my stream what i lack is preparation in every aspect, so i would love to see what you use as notes
I’ve been on a binge of your content. Just starting to stream, don’t even have a webcam yet, and I seriously appreciate all your help. It’s crazy how different it feels to stream with no plan vs. having a notebook with a guide for content and reminders for myself. Thank you
Glad to help! Seriously, small comments like this mean a lot!
Man it’s unbelievable how i was literally testing streams on different times of the day to see what’s the best one for my audience growth and your video about schedules comes out. Love the content as always and thank you for making these videos. They’re very helpful
Glad I could help! Funny how things work out!
I just wanted to say thank you. I've been watching your videos and they've really given me direction and motivation to building up my stream. Keep up the phenomenal work bro :)
This is good to know. I set up my stream times almost arbitrarily and I'm just about to settle into my second week on Twitch (third overall as I did a brief start on YT). I decided on two different times to try and get a wider audience, and by coincidence one of the times I picked was almost at peak user and stream numbers. Still I agree with your wider points on this because - like you said - odds are you'll have local audiences or catch those who aren't on a traditional work/sleep schedule
Thanks a bunch for this video mate. I am only just looking at getting into streaming. the videos you have been putting out lately have been absolutely brilliant. My brother does long streams every day 10+ hours and with everything going on its difficult to find the time but when you mentioned 3 hour streams, I really resonated with that because if you have family commitments it makes it really hard to commit huge hours to one game as im generally on the road a lot or taxi driver for my family. I play world of warcraft classic and enjoy the social community style that twitch offers while im playing but with looking at people doing 10 hour streams i was thinking that was the normal. after watching you break down why shorter streams can be more effective I start seeing the potential on where I could plan something more reasonable at least in the early stages. consistency is key in all of it and I like how you find time to do both twitch and youtube content. I planned to do content on youtube as well or potentially stream on youtube at some point.
Dude u r amazing, I grew to 1.2k followers in 2 months bcuz of ur vids :)
Smashing it! That's your hard work though, I'm just making the videos, keep it up!
I appreciate these videos! They actually help me understand how to set goals for myself as a streamer instead of randomly setting a goal not know what to do. Thank you!
Happy to help! Seriously, just glad I can give something back!
Looking forward to more info!
I knew it! Lol. I only schedule 2 hours a week. But I'm there everytime, and mostly on time.
Consistency is crucial! Keep it up mate! :)
I really do appreciate your videos. I also try to research everything I can, and I feel like I'm finally seeing results. Maybe not with subs or followers, but with quality of streams for people who are there. I want them to have the most fun.
You can do it! Glad the videos have been helpful, good luck with your growth!
Worth a watch! - Thanks for this vid bro I had adapted to do some of this naturally and was great to get a bunch of extra tips reinforce a few ideas for me! Also, I follow you on twitch now so that is evidence to your point about spending extra time working on content rather than streaming! Great stuff! Will be sharing the channel and vids in my community henceforth. Keep it up!
i love how your seem so hype but at the same time so chill
It is the joys of getting very little sleep hahaha it tempers my excitement!
Just started streaming and wanted to say thanks for all the helpful advise.
Thanks bud! I've been streaming for two years now and never realised that you can pre schedule the titles! I've been doing it manually this whole time. game changer
Really enjoying these videos, just started streaming and these tips are really helping me in these early days
started streaming for a week. I did the mistake "not having a schedule" when i was streaming at evening then i stream again at night. This totally help me a lot. I hope i can improve as a streamer.
Glad I could help! Good luck! :)
Thank you for this video! It's honestly a lot more thorough than a lot of other videos I have seen on the subject, and the link to SullyGnome is likely going to save my streams. I work from home, so I didn't realize just how much bigger the night crowd for Twitch is in my countries and will probably switch my content to a later time slot instead of mostly streaming during the day.
your videos are always so thoughtful and informative! you really give personalized advice to small streamers that works, rather than the same rinse and repeat stuff a lot of bigger streamers put out :)
i’m definitely going to start a streaming schedule because of these videos! i’m curious, these tips aren’t game-streaming specific, right? my interest is more in art and i bet this stuff applies no matter what you’re streaming!
again, lovely video as always! i’ll be sure to catch the next one as well, your content is top tier :)
Nope, they aren't game specific! I am trying to broaden my content to include art and a bit more for everyone! Schedules are crucial no matter who you are!
Thanks for the kind words! Just doing my best!
Good video man really a chill guy and you are very helpful
Glad I could help, seriously! Means a lot mate!
Just finished streaming with the Sakura Overlay! Doubled my views!
Killing it mate!
@@StreamScheme Thanks to your help!
I was going to use the paint splatter one for a stream but my computer couldn't handle the awesomeness that is those overlays
They are a bit intensive, we are looking at creating static overlays as well soon!
@@switchunboxing Overlays have features that encourage followers, subscribers, and make you look more professional. It is just a large part of Twitch and streaming culture.
Got this alert this morning, saved it, enjoyed watched it the whole way into work but now i have to go the whole day waiting to get home to tweak my own content ha!
Let me tell you the advice this guy gives makes me think every other youtuber who gives tips is either holding back on purpose so they can trickle out bits of the whole picture over 20 videos OR they became big on twitter and they themselves don't know. Honestly mate your information is brilliant... Keep it up you "Cobber" :)
I am just happy to be helpful! Doing my best where I can, glad to hear its useful!
Always some excellent information you are relaying to us, thank you. I only began creating content this month, and am trying to grow on Twitch under the same name. I know my first UA-cam video was low quality but the content value was there because nobody had the information I was looking for on the subject I searched for...which is why I made the video. Was such a good feeling to reach 10,000 souls in a week on my first piece of content. I look forward to learning more, which your definitely in my top 3 on my way to learning about streaming and content creation.
Smashing it mate! Keep up the hard work!
Thank you Eljay, I've been watching your videos and it had helped me to understant the dynamics of streaming. Thanks a lot
Glad you like them! Just glad I can be helpful!
Thank you, I was worried that only streaming 3 days a week was not enough but you have put that fear to rest!
Finally!!! A good channel that gives good advice!! You have helped me so much.
Happy to hear that! Sorry that this video feels a bit clickbaity with the whole best times but then the ending! Its the only one like that I swear hahaha People kept asking me the question and it wasn't a simple answer! Hope I can continue to help!
Wow you responded so quickly. I feel like I made the right choice joining this community!
Thankyou I have learnt alot in the last day watching these videos and slowly implementing them within my streams. Keep it up your an amazing person ☺
You’re like Gods gift to small streamers! I’m seriously taking all of your tips into play and trying to grow my stream and I’ll be sure to update you on my progress!
Hey! I’m just doing my best! Nothing wild here, hope the videos help! Good luck!
Hi, ive been watching your videos almost every night and i think ive been growing slowly. i know i still have alot of growing to do but i dont think that would be possible without your videos. Thank you for the tips ❤
Love the videos! You put so much time and work into them and they make my day better
Ive been watching your videos every day and. You've been going up like a thousand a day keep it going
This video is so old but I streamed for the first time on January 6th of this year. I am watching your videos constantly while I do stuff throughout my day and the tips have helped so much! I got affiliate, almost 200 followers, and I have an average of 10 viewers! You’re a fantastic teacher and I really appreciate how real you keep it with us.
Hope it helps, Bella :)
ughh must be niceee , congrats thooo !!!
As a super small streamer struggling a bit on Twitch, I'd love to see you breaking down some streamers who grew as content creators! It's sometimes so easy to think "oh ____ is so big I'll never get to where they are" or "I don't know how they did it" but I'd love to watch some breakdowns! As always, great content, love watching your videos :)
Thanks for the kind words! I’m into it! Leave it with me!
Love the video. Thanks for the assistance. I've been trying to grow my twitch, but no one comes by the stream and the people that do don't stay. This will help alot.
Glad I could help!
Helpful as always my friend! Wish I could catch a stream, but they're around 4AM my time 😅 Keep up the good work Eljay💪
And, yes I'd love to see the breakdowns!
Sorry for being so late at night hahaha but I appreciate the support man! Glad the video helped!
This is all good info. I love streaming but I never make it on time. I'm going to reevaluate so I can be there every stream no matter what!
Thank you for the video, in one of your videos you said to get a Webcam and I was hoping not to need one but after multiple streams with little to no viewers and a little research of my own I have decided to buy one, I'm not thrilled about putting my face out there for the world to see but I can't deny the importance of it for streaming anymore. Hopefully with that and a sweet still paint splatter overlay (my computer can't handle the animated version) I will have a better outcome
Good luck! Honestly, you can grow without a webcam but at the end of the day it does help. No webcam is just adding an extra layer to overcome that often people struggle with! Hope the videos continue to help!
This video has been super helpful! I have a set schedule the days a week at the same time and it's thanks to your advice!
Glad it was helpful!
I finally caught your stream and it was so much fun!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Which night did you come to? ... wait did you come when I played the dating simulator? Hahahaha
I wish! It was a pokemon stream! Im also from Australia as well! You have really inspired me to take streaming seriously. Im a small streamer with Adverage of 7 viewers and recently started youtube as well! You must be such a hard worker to manage those as well as a 9-5 job! Can you make a video about how you manage your time between working and streaming? It would be so interesting as I am also in the same boat and finding it tough!
Honestly, the video would end up a bit sad hahaha I just cut out a lot of sleep and going out with mates, but as it picks I will get more freedom back luckily!
I stream twice a week, Saturdays and Sundays, 1pm - 3pm local time.
I have a Monday-Friday job. 1pm during weekends gives me time to get errands done on off days, and I feel I'm more lively around that time of day.
Because of UA-camrs like you who help the community with streaming, I stream at a consistent schedule, 2pm every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, which fits nicely into my schedule. Thanks for your tips, keep making these types of videos. ^^
Glad it helped! :)
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you !
Great video! Glad to be apart of the Elbabes ;)
Who are they? I only know the RoyEls!
It’s a little sad that a channel with this amount of high quality content only have 12k
We've only been creating content for a few months! We've grown fast than I believe 90% of channels! It's not sad at all, it's hype!
@@StreamScheme yes that is nice to see nevertheless its amazing how qualitative your videos are
@@louishansbury7855 It's going well! Poggers!
Really enjoy the videos and I've been taking a lot of your advice on getting started streaming. Up until now before seeing this video, I've been streaming 7 days a week starting at 2am-ish EST in the US. I haven't really gotten many viewers and last I checked I was at 18 followers. I'm going to take a night or two off and see if I can develop more of a schedule in hopes that increases my stats. Hopefully soon I'll be able to post a positive update. Wish me luck!!!!! lol
This videos are so well researched and put together holy hell
Hey thanks! hope it helps!
I love how genuine these videos are. I’ve watched tons of videos from Twitch Partners who are the top 1% and learn literally nothing except the same things being recycled over and over again. Eljay honestly gives me information I would’ve never known even after a year of live streaming.
Keep it up my guy! 🖤
This is such a kind thing to say, thank you so much! Just doing my best!
I fully agree. I feel like these videos are very insightful because they are brutally honest.
@@tarko8053 Hopefully not too brutal!
@@StreamScheme Actually, I appreciate the honesty very much.
@@tarko8053 You might really like the video coming soon about the 5 real reasons people don't grow on twitch.... hahaha that one I am nervous about
hey! thanks for the help i wish i could make it to your streams buy I'm usually in bed when u stream ;) keep it up!
No worries at all, happy to help! No stress, not worried if people can make it or not!
You have helped me so much! Very appreciated thanks :)
And I followed your twitch :)
Happy to help!
I've recently come across your content and taken a few tips to heart. I only hit Affiliate last week but I'm hoping to grow. I don't care about being super big cuz for now this is more of a side-gig/hobby, but I really appreciate all the information you put out there for us all! Thanks! Hope you're having a great day!
I clicked on this video because I've been bingewatching your channel, I love your videos and your personality!
I've been thinking about starting streaming in the first months of the new year, but I'm still learning how to set up and gathering the items to make this possible.
I wanted to ask if you already made a specific tutorial on how to build a greenscreen? I know it sounds silly, but I don't know exactly how to put that green cardboard/blanket up and make obs make the green become the background you want it to be haha.
As many others I started on UA-cam first, but it wasn't to build an audience here, but rather for building an habit to talk to a screen every week and have somewhere to publish funny clips from the art and game streams I'd love to make on Twitch.
Thanks for the great work you put on every day, and I wish you nothing but the best! ♥
Green screen video? Easy! I’ll add it to the list and get to work on it as soon as possible!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment as well, it really means the world to me that I’m able to help so many people!
Good luck and thanks again for the support!
All your guides are so helpful!! I’m able to apply for affiliate after only 14 streams thanks to your help!!
Great to hear! You did the hard work though, so go you! Smashed it!
Thanks for all your videos!
This is super useful information. Thanks so much
I subbed! Thank you for this content Im just starting on twitch and am going to be making videos on this channel soon, and this channel has been the biggest help out of any of them! Ill make sure to throw you a follow on twitch and stop by some of your streams soon!
Another great video man! As a fellow Aussie streamer (although less then a week experience) I've noticed I get some extra viewers in the mornings from US due to differing time zones and then that drops off, and more Aussies wake up to replace them. Yet another thing to consider when planning my schedule for next week! Thanks for all the amazing advice to, already off to a better then expected start
Interesting! Great stuff mate, keep it up! Thanks for the support as well!
Thankyou i will! And the support is the least any of us can do for the advice that makes a big difference! You guys are going beast mode lately!
Thank you for so many helpful tips! :)
Glad it was helpful!
I've been really enjoying your videos! I was wondering if you could do a video talking about how to stream in a saturated category and how to ride content waves
I’ve made lots on being discoverable while wanting to do games that are oversaturated :)
@@StreamScheme awesome! I'll check those out
Valuable tips as usual in your vids, priceless at 5:40 😂
It makes sense to use the statistics and to recognize the time your viewers watch your streams; ain't that hard for me though cause at the moment I am only streaming in German which provides a little less timezones than the English language does. Stay healthy & rock on! 🤘
Glad to hear that the info helped! Good luck!
Thanks for the video this really helped
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the kind words!
Great video, always learning from you with each video :)
Glad to hear it! Just happy to help!
Great video! You recently popped up in my recommended but I already knew of you through ArryBo 😄
Neat! Glad you liked the video!
I have a great example of this, when I started I was on retail and still had a schedule, sure it got a bit messed up with work sometimes but I made sure to tell any little viewers I had. A while later (2 months into my streaming carreer) I needed a mental health break because work was destroying me, a month and a half later I come back with a new schedule that fit my community better and I had a pretty good surge in viewers! Then I moved jobs and because I was working full-time I didn't have the chance to stream for about a month, I came back and had half of the regulars, this was in August and only now did I recover that traction, try your best to stick to the schedule, most streamers I watch and interact with have a set amount of people that interact and are always there at the time of their stream, the rest are people coming in and engaging.
As always keep at it, stay strong! You can make it!
Hey, thanks for sharing! I'm glad to hear you're doing better now and killing it!
@@StreamScheme A lot of it is your advice! Slow but steady growth is always good! Gives me time to get used to it! Thank you for your advice and help, and also your fun streams!
Great video thank you so much for these tips
Great video, will definitely start planning out a future schedule that I can hope to make consistent. Would also love to see a video about how other streamers like SmallAnt made it! Think it could offer a really interesting insight 👍
Sounds good, I'll look at setting those up soon! Thanks for the support and I am glad the video has helped!
Straight to the point, good information I take to heart and it is greatly appreciated. I feel like I am missing out on something that is key, or I just need to hang in there, channel is just 13 days old. I prefer prepping and ensuring I'm ready to go. If you have time to burn, mind stop by on twitch (same name) and shoot me your opinion. I am always willing to learn and grow.
Hey! We have a feedback form in the Stream Scheme Discord, its the free overlays link in the description, you can sign up for feedback there! Hope the videos help, and continue to be useful in the future!
You just give me a happy, kind, nice vibe man idk what it is I think its just like- Everything
Man this is such a nice comment, honestly thanks! I'm just doing my best hahaha hope the videos help!
9:03 I knew this was coming but still you made me smile jajaja that was all I needed to hear
Hahahaha
Hey Eljay, love watching your videos. They all have really good advice. I was wondering how you put the borders around each chat in the chat box? I think it looks pretty slick.
Hey! The one I use is just a chat widget purchased off Nerdordie, check out the very first video on this channel!
Its crazy how useful ur videos r bro.
Glad you think so! Just doing my best! I appreciate the support!
The fact that you are competing with alpha gaming is insane, you two have different styles of professionalism and I love it
Luckily, we aren't competing! People like to compare and draw contrast because we both create education, but UA-cam isn't a competition, videos are uploaded and can be watched by anyone at anytime. The only time competition happens is if we both create videos on search topics and try to rank for those topics but Harris rarely creates around search, he just releases hype/trending style content for clickability. I really respect what Harris has built, but you are right we have very different content and approaches.
@@StreamScheme you know the right things to say and it’s insane
Hahaha I don’t know what you mean, but hey! Hope the contents helping!
@@StreamScheme the wholesomeness is real
You really have great tips man
I appreciate the kind words man, just doing my best :)
Hey man! I just found you today! You are pretty awesome bro!
Thanks and welcome to the community! Hope all the videos help!
Hey Eljay, I probably won't get you live, because my time is -13 hours from you, but i'm loving the videos.
Thanks for the tips.
Happy to help!
@@StreamScheme I just started streaming for fun and to connect with people. You're input made me feel less guilty about not doing it often. I picked 2 days that work and plan to stick with that because I want to continue to have fun with it. Do you have any tips for when you can't stream for a week for work or other reasons? I'm only on Twitch now (GramPlayZ). I do it for fun but am a little Type A. ;-) Thanks so much. I appreciate any input including a link to a video.
Absolutely loving the content and I’ve been binge watching it nonstop taking a whole lot of notes, you’d think I’m studying for final exams🤣. My question is though, is there a website I can visit to get the various live viewer times for the demographics as I noticed sullygnome doesn’t have that. Once again loving the content keep up the great work!
Sadly not fully, that I know of, you can use Twitchtracker and Sullygnome to view a lot of that information about how many concurrent active users there are overall AND in individual categories.
Then use your own research into different countries timezones to know whereabouts is awake and active.
Sorry I can't be more help! If you find something, let me know!
@@StreamScheme you’ve been extremely helpful already since I didn’t know of sully or twitch tracker so thank you.
Will do if I find something that works I’ll let you know.
7:04 how bout now? lol thanks for all the videos you make, im just starting streaming and they help alot!
Good stuff as always bro! I pretty much agree with everything, except the scheduling. I really think that scheduling takes a toll for many new streamers because they think they can do it and put on a bunch on their schedule and miss half of them. Some feel the pressure of having to keep up with those schedule "or else."They start second-guessing themselves and end up underperforming. or worse, they end up rushing content with no preparation just to "put something out."
When they can't go through with their promise to stream, it is shown as a disappointment or inconsistency and you lose would-be followers, besides personal matters, of course. Having a set or consistent schedule is more doable for those who already have a good amount of following and you've honed your streaming persona and established your personal schedule around streaming.
I think as you're growing from 0-100+ followers, the best advice is to stream as many as you practically can without compromising providing quality content, and without sacrificing anything major in your personal life. The only consistency I would suggest is streaming around the same hours you normally stream. And if you can't, it's not the end of the world. In the end, see what works for your life and what's actually practical and doable. Don't force it because it is always better to have quality videos than rushed content that just screams amateur and can be looked at as someone who clearly doesn't care about his craft.
I'm still learning and a baby tadpole amongst streamers, but I'm loving the process and taking my time to really find my comfortability. I'm accepting all my mistakes and trying to learn from them each and everytime.
A schedule is actually the only thing that matters when you're 0-100 followers.
People are creatures of habit, if you are live the same times and days weekly, they'll keep coming back as long as they enjoy the content.
If you're missing days, you've set a bad schedule.
If you do not have a schedule early on, and people aren't sure when you're coming back or whats going on, they'll find someone else who provides consistent content.
All of your points against a schedule only make sense if someone has made a bad schedule.
On the topic of videos, I actually still recommend a weekly schedule as well.
Obviously don't put trash out, but setting a deadline and working towards it is important because UA-cam likes consistency BUT even more important, if you release 5 videos and make 3 mistakes per video, then in 5 weeks you've learned 15 new mistakes not to make.
If you never set a schedule, and just release when its done, you'll grow much slower because you lack consistency, and your quality will improve much slower.
Lately I been busy with school and in the process of launching a business soon so streaming consistently has been really hard for me. Now that my schedule has been easing up I'm going to get back into a consistent schedule.
been thinking about streaming just 3 days instead of 4 because of university work, but I'm kinda scared my followers wont come back when i stop streaming one of the normal days. I've been trying to be consistent and i have a schedule that i post on discord and such but I'm still a small streamer (avg of 8 viewers in the last 30 days) so i don't know if it would be good or if i should try to fit all my work in every other day and just try to stream anyways. idk why im just rambling, your videos have helped me out a lot, thanks for making them, they're awesome for small streamers like me
I'm still trying to figure out a schedule, I'm retired and hours, days and weeks run into each other for me, but I am usually up pretty early in the morning though not as sharp as say the evening but so much life happens in the evening I want to be there for so kind of still debating. but thanks for the video it was helpful :)
I stream 4 days a week. 4-6 hours. My audience knows this and loves it. But I also will do random streams during week in my discord server where ill chat with them live. Nice thing to do with them and not harming anything on twitch at same time. And its very nice since you can use OBS as a webcam now so no worries on that either.
Hey that's a neat idea! I quite like it as well! Keep up the good work!
Amazing video as ever. I don't even stream but I'm planning to do it in the future so this knowledge is pure gold. I will proudly say that I was in between the first 1000 subs once you become a world known youtuber/ streamer.
Do you have any advice when looking for search intent when creating heavily edited full gameplays? It's hard to find searchable tags that describe what the video is about.
Keep grinding and cheers from Spain!
Hey! Sorry UA-cam flagged this so I never saw it till now! If you want to do UA-cam and Search Intent, the reality is people only want reviews to decide if they should buy something or entertaining guides for how to tackle certain thing in games!
I talk about it in my 0 - 1000 UA-cam subs video! Hope this gives you a starting point!
Thanks for this video! I do have a question.
I'm thinking of starting with Minecraft as a popular choice beore I try streaming other games. Would you say that's a good way to start or do you have a better recommendation? I'm sort of an average gamer around hack-n-slash, RPG and other creative fun games. So I felt it was a good choice. I'm looking around for other possible ideas but not 100% sure yet
you know these videos really help
I am so glad to hear that!
@@StreamScheme wow you really do reply to everyone. have a good day man
You should do a video on recommended equipment for streaming! As someone who doesn’t have the budget to buy the best GPU’s out there, it would be helpful for you to talk about ways to start streaming, particularly gaming streaming, when you can’t just break the bank right off the bat.
It's in the works, but I can't promise it soon! But it is absolutely in the works!
Yoo! Just got affiliate and super pumped about it! Trying to figure out how to get people to come back. Gained 26 followers from a recent raid that pushed me towards affiliate. Streamed once since getting it and didn’t have more than 7 viewers on average. Hellpppppp
These tips are working! My last couple streams I had 3-5 people in my chat! 🤩🤩
Also I just hid the part with the note 😂💀
Great to hear! Keep it up!
I've noticed that it can very per game, things like Uno, surviv.io, cuphead, etc do very well between 9pm to 4pm central, whereas games that have hit more places can range per game. Every other day to 2 day space is best, along with using social media, discord, etc to share your schedule for the week, game plans, events, etc.
That's pretty interesting to hear! Keep it up!
Was wondering why I saw a spike in traffic, glad the sites useful :)
Hahaha I use it every day for something!
I m unable to find the viewers based on time on the site, which tab is that under? I know I've found it before and I've been googling but I can't get the wording right to find it
Your content has given me hope to grow my channel! Thank you
Now to just turn that hope into hard work and you've got this!
Oof that camera/lighting quality of this video though 🤩
Honestly you seem like a really cool guy and I know you have seen my comments cause you replied to them, I think a cool thing to do would be like to interview small streamers that are in the community for like 10-20 minutes on discord you know like reviewing their channel, asking about them and giving tips before moving onto someone else, could be both informative and entertaining
Oh yeah and I dont mean like an entire series on it more like just once and record your findings and make a video on it and break down the different kinds of small streamers and the different general advice to give
I reply to everyone who comments :) There isn't a single comment on here that I haven't seen and replied to (other than what UA-cam marks as spam and doesn't show me).
We looked into doing stream reviews and such, Sadly we most likely won't be doing it any time soon though. Out of the few hundred submissions we received no one really needed specific advice. There were a handful of great but small streamers but everyone just needed to hear the same things we've covered on the channel.
Don't stream oversaturated categories, level your mic properly, turn off follower only chat, get rid of the donation goals, etc, etc.
Once we grow a bit more we are going to look at doing it again, but right now we'd just be repeating content and people won't like that. Sorry again! We really wanted to but yeah!
@@StreamScheme that's fine, I understand! Just a suggestion, anyways I hope it never gets to the point you cant do it
U really reply to all comments. F for this man! (and a great video)
Thanks man! It takes a while but I hope it helps people to get a proper reply!
Hey new to the community here! Currently planning and building a set up for my streaming plan. Focused on sales and remote work. In your video, I couldn't find where you said what was better, maximum activity on twitch or least is best to start a stream.
Neither matters, it is about being consistent with your times and schedule. Pick a schedule and stick to it, that is the best time :)
I’ve been binge watching ur videos and once I got ur advise I got 5 followers in 1 day it may not seem like so much but now I have 20 followers
Everyone starts somewhere! Good luck mate, hope the videos help!
Lmao you really had me flipping you off when you said it’s based on schedule, but in all seriousness good video and good advice
hahaha sorry! I get asked this question so much but I had to find a way to stop people freaking out about it. Glad the rest helped!
