      I just got my first few regulars now it's a lot easier to grow I went from 1 to 10. I would say the key is to be interactive with chat. but you dont get chat if you stop talking

    STRONGLY agree with hiding view count, been doing it for my entire 2 1/2 year run on twitch. Speaking of volatile, looking at view count has far too many possibilities of altering your mood mid stream. Some say "seeing a higher view count gives me motivation." Sure I'll give you that, but as a content creator you need to distance yourself emotionally from view count as much as possible in order for the experience to be actually enjoyable, and seeing a lower than expected viewer number can make that experience exactly the opposite.

      Could not agree with you more and its a trap i have fallen into over and over again however i also know first hand that you can have say 25 viewers average and have a really quiet stream and then another day you can be on a 10 viewer stream and have lots of chat rolling/crazy donations/hype trains, you never know whats going to happen on twitch, as long as you stick to the fundamentals just keep going.

    Actually, it tells me lots about you. I definitely don't want to form a relationship with you as you will attempt to use me and my platform to claw your way to the top and make everyone around you feel uncomfortable in the mean time. Good luck in your future endeavors, person I'll never see in my chat again.

    I can definately sign the hidden viewer count. when i began streaming, it always felt like i did something wrong when the counter drops even from like 5 to 4 and pressured me when i saw it goes up. So until i found out that you could actually hide the count, i covered the part of my screen that displays it. It is such a relief to not be pressured, especially if you think that like 3-4 are watching and get a notification about an average of 15 after the stream. So i can definately recommend doing that.

    Honestly I do want to make streaming and general content creation my career, and I do come in with that mindset, but videos like this really help to remind me that I have to start it as something I like first, and worry about money later. If I focus on money alone, I won't make good content, and won't get anywhere I think

    Really nice and solid tips, thanks so much! I am reluctant on turning off my viewer count but mostly because I like to see when people get too tired to keep watching (since most of my streams are late at night) and not necessarily to be motivated by the number itself. Also not seeing twitch as a business right away is just such a good mindset!

    I started streaming four years ago without any knowledge or experience, and yes, I set myself up for a hard letdown not once, not twice, but many times. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've given up. Most of us are guilty of this mindset, but it's part of the learning experience. It's how we mature in this industry. You have to crawl before you can walk. Nowadays, I have fun. I don't think about fame and fortune. If it happens, it happens. If I have only one viewer in my chat, I treat that one viewer like 110k viewers. Don't get me wrong, I want to make it in this industry. I love what I do, yet I'm still finding myself here. Happy streaming to all of you, and have fun because remember, this is why we do what we do.

    Also, I keep view count up because It has never altered my personality on stream, I streamed to NO ONE for a year and a half and honestly had a lot of fun either way. I learned from that 1 1/2 year that I know exactly what I want to do and stick with it.
    Now I have some regulars and viewers... the only thing that has changed and is a bit harder to do is keep track of chat. I'm the same guy as last year,but with viewers. I'll find myself rambling on a subject far too long due to the habits of streaming to no one in the past.

    I needed this advice though I turned off viewers and I do practice anyways cause I'm always talking about the game or thinking out loud. Numbers don't really matter I enjoy games as a whole if its just me so be it. I am having fun with the game im playing. I do test streams or talk about my goals and such cause I want everyone to know hey im trying to get better and to bring more things to the table for you to enjoy or watch. I love expressing the growth I'm doing and getting advice from others. It all comes down to the community you make, at the end of the day these viewers or people are joining your streams. They take time out of their day to enjoy YOU. They make the choice to join your community and invite others to it, its better to be humble then to be "ahh yes GIVE ME YOUR MONEY! ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US" type person.

    And yeah that’s very true about the fluctuation. I was getting like 12 to 17 viewers per stream for a while and I was so excited I was getting momentum and I lowered my hours at work which I really don’t regret still. But now I get like two viewers for the last hour of my stream which is only two hours. It goes to show you how things can change but also goes to show you how the members of your community can make a difference. There was one viewer that was very engaging and she would engage me and she would engage the audience and everybody loved them. I noticed when they stopped coming to the streams, that’s when everything changed.

    I plan on starting my stream again this summer, fresh start. I honestly plan on getting a full-time job because frankly I want to stream as a comfort streamer, and I love interacting and talking with people. I'm currently contemplating whether to just turn off donations. I feel like people feel pressured to give donations and support when theres an option. Honestly, my dream is to stream to an audience who can ask me questions and while I have gameplay in the back, I can give genuine advice and have deep conversations with chat.

    The best advice I can give people is JUST DO IT.
    It can be so so stressful, overwhelming and scary, when you do all these researches and you're like I can't do this.
    Just do it. It's part of learning. you will find what works for you. It might take a while but you will find it if you keep with it.
    And remember your viewers, even just the name. If they come back in to say hi and you remember them and reply with hey (-) I haven't seen you back in a while, how have you been, we've missed you. It means so much to them.
    Be yourself, be stupid, be quirky, don't take yourself too seriously, make fun of your mistakes. Treat your viewers as friends, you're there to hang out and the more the merrier.
    Keep a schedule, ye everyone says that it's so hard but humans are creatures of habit, you want to build a community based on consistency. But on the other hand do not force yourself too much. Take mental breaks, know when to stop or you will regret it and feel like you have not put your best self out there.
    These are what I have learnt so far. I'm still a small streamer but I feel these helps not just with the stream but also with my mentality.

    On Point sir. You earned a follow from me. The hiding the viewer count is just a mental trick for people hung up on getting viewers. I personally like to take a look at how many people are in my stream when it's blowin' up. The real honest trick is to not dwell on it, and keep your yammer on regardless if chat is blowin' up or not. GG xTwoShoes

    Man, excellent tip about the Discord! Same goes with reddit or wherever If you are wanting to promote UA-cam, or anything in life. You have to give if you want to take. And that’s not a bad thing because it’s going to pay off so much better.
    It’s the complete difference between somebody walking up to your car and knocking on the window during your lunch break and asking for $10 vs a family member doing the same.

    Hey just stumbled across this and the very last tip i feel is the most important of the entire video. "Just have fun" I just recently started streaming and having a good paying job I decided to approach it to meet new people and find new friends that enjoy the same kind of games as me. Averaging 5 viewers a stream isn't much but it's been a lot of fun so far and while I have a sub button I really don't even want anyone to push it I just like having people to hang with and talk to while i'm gaming.

    I appreciate this video so much in the first few months of me streaming I had this goal to become affiliate and accomplished that while streaming on playstation but after that I hit a real curb my views were low and it was a mentality game with me focusing on my views rather than actually conversating with my stream and making content. I have stopped for two months now because I was grinding to get a pc and now Im planning on streaming some good content basically getting back on that grind (I was held back on console cause of audio reasons). I just like to say thank you for the tips and tricks it was refreshing to be reminded this isn't a job it should be a hobby first and you should always have fun in what you're doing. I may make it and I may not but that will be the journey and this is the first mark of that adventure. Wish me luck.

    You mentioned to make a second twitch channel to test out your settings. I'm going to point out that here on UA-cam you can test your stream from the same channel but make it private in the settings while testing and nobody else can see it. Allowing you to fix any technical issues you run into during testing.
    Another thing that most new streamers don't know is that twitch will only let you stream at 720p and not 1080p making it harder to keep viewers as the quality won't look very good compared to those who are streaming at 1080p. On UA-cam you get access to 1080p streaming right off the bat without needing to be a partner.
    Another thing is that UA-cam keeps your videos until you choose to delete them while Twitch only keeps them for 2 weeks when you're not partnered or affiliate.
    In the end always check the streaming service you plan to use and see which one is the best so don't just default to Twitch because everyone uses it.

    How to grow on twitch. Stop listening to others methods, and be yourself. If you know you can do it, you can and you will figure it out all by yourself. If you want to listen to others, then go ahead and make a gamble on who's advice is solid or not. Just because someone has x amount of viewers on twitch does not mean it will work the same for you, using their method. Everyones method is catered to their style and personality. So just do you!
    Example. I am thin and athletic..no fat issues. People ask me diet advice but I will never advise someone to follow my diet. I eat very fattening things to stay skinny...yeap...Over active metabolism. So someone with a different personality....I mean metabolism might get over the weight they wanted following mine. Never assume someone's method of success will work for you. Take all advice with a grain of salt.
    If anyone says this is THE way..or THE method..etc...run away.
