Hey Wild. I just wanted to thank you. Your information and the way you present it is always great! It's sound advice that's easy to understand and follow. So practical. I'm just a 'baby' twitcher and youtuber, but you've given me lots of ideas to help me find my feet and grow. Keep up the great work! :D
I had 8 people in my stream one time I felt kinda proud... Thank you for the likes I’ve never had this many likes or responds on any online platform in my life. I love each and every one of you wherever you are
Small steamer here...really appreciate the tips I’ve learned in this video. I’ve strived for good graphics, I don’t swallow my mic, I have a face cam, and I talk decently. Just kinda wanted to check this video out to make sure I’m doing things right. Thank you so much.
Its when your hobby becomes a chore,or feels like a job, its why many game devs fall out of love with gaming or a lot musicains stop producing music after few years.
I've been on youtube for 13 years, just started using twitch, and looked everywhere for a basic summary for why I wasn't getting any viewers. Your video was so informative, so here's a huge thank you for making them!
Thank you for the reality check. I find myself streaming often and I notice these mistakes I did make. Thank you for that brutal honesty and wanting us all to improve!
@@officialmarcusmusic I highly recommend playing games without a lot of streamers! Learned it from this guys channel. It actually helped alot. I started with a game called green hell and amnesia and I'm at 49 followers in just about a month! I could definitely tell a difference in playing smaller games versus like COD or Fortnite!
@@RandalPerry525 yeah man I mainly do retro FIFA career modes. My twitch is marcusmusic1. The main thing I struggle with is holding 3 people or more for most my streams.
I've always wanted to stream but I've always been super nervous. So I been watching a lot of videos like this to try and help get me a little more confident
Positivity is such an underrated character trait. Charisma is hard to fake, energy is hard to fake, you can’t just pretend to be entertaining, but there is literally nothing stopping you from smiling, laughing, and a positive attitude. It changes how you talk, your mannerisms, even how your eyes appear to viewers. A little positivity goes a really long way and as long as streaming is supposed to be a fun thing to do, it does more for the “fun” aspect of your stream than anything else in the world. Give me the happy guy with the crappy overlay and low quality gameplay over the GOSU Pro who is scowling and negative all of the time
Having a positive attitude on stream is huge. Nothing turns me off fast on a stream when someone complains the whole time.... Like smile and laugh a little ha ha ha 💪
Thanks so much for the video Wild. I noticed many of these mistakes in my streams and so decided to fix them up. Noticed afterward how much my channel was improving by following your tips. Appreciate the hard work you put in to ensure small streamers like us are able to really improve!
About 2 weeks ago I commented on a video saying I just got affiliate, Well over this past week I've gained 40 subs and have seen a rapid increase in viewership, Sometimes there might only be 5 people watching or other times have had over 30 people at once and I keep enthusiasm no matter what which usually brings in people😊 I say when I'm streaming I'm paying attention to the game about 40% and the chat interacting with people the other 60%. In my set of rules in the panel I encourage people to sit back and relax and give me constructive critism to make myself a better person and streamer as a whole which has been tremendous.
@@MissChibiGodd Just keep at it, Colab with people in your viewer range and games of choice, Make friends with others and support one another. You can do it just don't give up😊
Thanks for the videos, you have some of the best advice out there. I'm constantly trying to improve my stream and your tips are always at the forefront of my mind.
Brooo I just love this Series cause this is giving me good advices and the Courage to start Streaming. With your Series About making the Content better i can start with a better Mindset and avoid crucial Mistakes. So thank you so much Wild that you take your Time to make These Videos
'Do me a favour, take your microphone out of your mouth.' This cracked me up! Great video. I'm just about to make affiliate on Twitch and this was really good to watch to make sure I was doing everything as I should be, all really good advice and definitely a lot of stuff I used to do when I first started streaming that I've fixed now. Thanks for the awesome video, I'll be sure to follow you!
2 months late, but I'm the same way! I stream with no cam (mostly cause i don't have enough USB slots on my PS4 for a cam lol,) and get less viewers because of it. So do many others. It's stupid how people would rather watch someone just because they have a cam, but a very boring personality and horrible gameplay, rather than someone with no cam and a great personality and mediocre gameplay.
Thanks for amazing tips. I be sure to look at my mistakes and making my streams way more appealing by making my own layouts from scratch. I appreciate you bud and thank you so much once again.
Trying to pick up streaming again found your videos immensely helpful thank you very much. Seem to have 1 very dedicated viewer at the moment but mostly i just talk to myself and that's totally fine. But lets see if i can get affiliate! thanks again for all your tips.
i had 10 views last night because ive been doing everything you've suggested... you have great advice and i recommend everyone who wants to start streaming, to come see your videos. Thank you so much
Thank you for your great video. I been working on my channel since 2010. I never took to seriously. IT was just a hobby at first. Because I never knew you could really make money. I realized after I had wached @Popularmmo and @Sunndde with my son. When they were talking about “Thank you”, us the viewers, “for helping to support for paying there homes, for just by watching there videos” This was when I realized in 2016, that can make money. So ever since I strived trying to make better videos with me and my son streaming. And now my wife is now getting into it as well. So thank you again for wonderful tips and how the system works, in this line a business.
Been watching a few of your vids, and they have been very helpful, especially the tip where you mention to browse through similar channels and engage with them and their chat, actually gained a few Twitch and Twitter followers from that!!!
Wow. Honestly, I clicked on this expecting some subjective points that was going to try fit everything into the same box. That was not what I got and I am super glad for that! Really clear objective points that can help all sorts of people including me. Thanks for that hard work! As a hobby voice actor, I totally get the microphone point!
In my case, I am only a charity kind of streamer. Radio tech by profession, so the audio bit resonates with me. Just been checking out your series so I can tighten things up a bit more. Not looking to gain followers, but I do like getting a complete picture so I can tweak things and not completely suck. Three years of zero donations and it's just time to heighten my game. That and promoting it to my hosts and co workers to tune in. This old radio pro appreciates your tips and do what I should have done with using my knowledge about show prep and all that. Goes to show that even people that should know better need the help to see the transfer of talents to a new medium. Thank you for that.
One extra tip... if you get destroyed or play against other streamers ... wish them good luck in the game .. say GG.. and even stop by there channel and wish them well and good luck and throw a GG in their chat !!
I remember killing a streamer with 2500 viewers, then suddenly got raided by 3-400 people asking if i were stream sniping, even tho i won the game fair and square, i dropped by the dudes stream and said GG :p
Yeah I definitely need to learn more about audio. I was in a rush and ended up streaming where the audio from my game was way louder than my voice. I appreciate the incite. I definitely need to jazz up my social media and make things look a little prettier, but I don’t always feel like I have the time. It’s a struggle.
I stream on twitch and I dont use face cam cause of the gameplay is one of main reasons I want stream watchers to see not my face but I use a mic and talk and chat with the viewers all the time
i dn you m8, but for sure he is not better than you. He gave 2-3 good advice , but the rest is total bs. Are so many good and huge streamers that rage and complain all the time and they have the numbers that his guy can only dream of - so my advice (as a twitch viewer - and not a streamer) is DO WHAT YOU LIKE and YOUR WAY - and you will have success.
this honestly helped me, since I'm new to youtubing and have only uploaded 2 videos so far. and I've noticed that my game audio is a bit loud with an echo when I upload it. but I have been wanting to stream. But I'm absolutely nervous about streaming as I don't know how to interact with people that I cannot see, also its probably gonna be hard on my anxiety, because it's pretty much just like public speaking. But in all honesty, you just made me wanna try harder and also look deeper into what I'm trying to do, so I totally thank you, i really feel encouraged to give it my best.
I literally just followed someone on twitch because they are so positive. And every time to their stream it brightens up my day. I don't necessarily go there for the game play. You're so right!
Love ur videos Wild. I just starting streaming a literally watched like all of ur videos for tips on growing my channel. So far so good! Already a twitch affiliate in 1 week. Keep up the good work Wild! Never stop the grind💪🏽
Ive been streaming regularly since Late June like 5-6 nights a week and I’ve recently become affiliated on twitch and I’ve noticed steady growth but I feel once I can get a powerful pc to run my streams on that’s when I’ll take off or hopefully gain some serious following. Thanks for the tips man I’ll keep these in mind when I stream tomorrow.
Glad that I can help you grow and super congrats on your success bro - Save up to get that sweet stream machine and when you do let me know what beast you go with 💪
Another factor that plays a huge role is how many people are already watching. It's weird, but, when you already have likes and views, half the majority will only watch your video if it already has views and likes. Even if it's bot likes. I did a social experiment on RU-vid comments and it worked. Some people like what others liked
Thank-you for the useful info! I've been trying to work on my audio and I just got a new microphone. I did a video for my RU-vid and it definitely sounded better. I can't wait to keep improving and try out more videos and streaming ^_^
Very true, in fact, one of my buddies just helped me with two of these issues. Sound and camera placement. Didn't realize that my camera covering my characters name would be a big deal but I guess it is.
Yanno, I completely forgot to fill out the profile section, and I've been streaming for like 4 months! Thanks for ye reminder! The rest, I think I've done well on! Attitude is something I may need to improve on, depending on the game, of course.
I've been lurking for awhile but I figured I'd finally comment. You make some great videos! Keep up the hard work, it looks like it's paying off! Let me know if you ever need a helping hand, I'd love to give back to you and the community.
Wild4Games I feel like it’s because I’m really enjoying destiny right now and there’s a lot of people streaming that at the moment, but I could be wrong! I may be doing something terribly wrong! I just don’t know haha
I am glad that I could help ya - If you need any more help with panels be sure to check out my "Panel Video" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-avgDhK2j6Fg.html ) It should help you a lot 💪
nice to see someone not making a huge deal with their bitrate, flawless quality is nice but some casters just can't cast in HD or afford it, mine is watchable at least, not HD but people like watching, believe me I would cast over 3000 or 5000 if I could, good tips you have btw
Yeah a lot of people always say high is best but forget that others watching may not see it cause its causing them to stutter... its all about balance .
MixHalZX Polska hey man I’m 16 now your just gonna have a different age group of followers at the moment keep doing your thing, keep gaining followers. You’ll regret it if you stop now
Because of the fact that I have autism, things don't really come naturally to me, I have no issue admitting that I'm always coming back to videos like this just to double and triple check things.
As for the channel dressing, I am still new to this (I literally just created my channel a few weeks ago if that) and I am trying to learn how to do this since I just bought a brand new computer and it doesn't have any editing software on it (nor does it have a disc drive for me to use my previous software on it - and no I can't simply afford to buy an external one right now due to the pandemic causing a lack of hours at my job) and I can't afford to purchase any nor do I know any free ones offhand. But I do want to learn so I thank you for what you're teaching me here. :D
I got hosted not to long ago, and I’m so happy about it because I have a few more people coming to my stem on average. Not quite affiliated but almost there 😁
Thank you so much for this video! 🙏 I’ll be sure to label my twitch account and fix my terrible mic quality and make a good looking overlay ! Thanks for the great tips, I’ve been binging watching your videos to help me out!
I sadly Don't Have a Mic I don't have Money cause I'm a Kid But my Goal Is to Stream , Get Monitized and get Money So I can buy New Things For a Gaming Setup and Get better Videos and Live streams
Another thing I found out as a R6 Siege streamer is that if you play while there’s a pro league event, you almost get zero views every time if you’re a new streamer. When no events are occurring you can max out at 10 views.
Wild4Games for sure man! Thanks for the response! This was a test for me to see if you would respond to the little man on RU-vid like myself! You passed sir! Thank you for the response, you just earned yourself a new subscriber! 💯
Thank you for this video , Wild. I've just started doing some gameplay video and am trying to do some weekly streams as well. These were useful tips. Things for me to think about and implement.
I turned the negative attitude into a staple of my streams where I dial it up for everyone to laugh at my rage, I make sure there is a disclaimer so the guys I rant at know it's for fun.
That is fine - there is nothing wrong with playing a character and running with it.... It works great for a lot of streamers out there... My video was more about people that are just genuinely pissed off ha ha ha
So I watched several of your videos... great ideas.. I've been stuck on a plateau but believe your advice could really help!!! Ty for taking the time.. I'll update you on any progress I can make by implementing your advice!! Awesome-sauce
Being nervous is OK - We are all nervous/shy when we start. TBH your first few streams will stink BUT using them as building blocks to become more comfortable and to find your flow... You Got This 💪
