How's your channel going user?

Good luck hope you get 5 viewers

Do you have a personality to compensate?

Because I think people on twitch getting money for streaming is dumb, I think it's dumb to donate money to people for streaming, and I don't want to enable it.
I barely even stream anymore anyways, it was getting boring.

My girlfriend started streaming a week ago and has already surpassed me. I started streaming over a year ago.

She has even had multiple people enter chat and offer to give her valuable items in game.

>even better if you actually get frustrated
I just keep trying until making it or I just give up.

No.

What kind of personality? I sure am not a comedian.

I understand that sentiment but unless you got another job with a higher pay possibility then it would be dumb to turn down the opportunity of living off twitch, specially if you still manage to enjoy it

Twitch is a pathetic form of employment. You don't really do anything and you produce nothing of value.

>that guy who doesn't stop talking like he has dozens of viewers talking in his chat

Did they do something to the viewers count? I used to get 3 through browser/incognito/phone, but now I only get 1
do I have to use VPN now?

Against my better judgement and all advice, I decided I wanted fast viewers, so I ran a giveaway for a $20 game recently while I streamed it. I peaked at almost 70 viewers, 50 of which I'm sure were bots, but there were a good few people in the chat just shooting the shit throughout the two weeks it was running. I now average around 13 viewers, a full month after the giveaway, up from the 6 I had before, and it's actually going up (dropped to about 10 right after the giveaway ended, but i'm growing because I'm not on the absolute bottom of the list of streams now anymore.)

Pretty good. I don't make much from it, but I had enough to buy myself a new headset, a webcam, and some other small quality control things, and I'm saving up a couple hundred bucks to get some nice emotes drawn by the same guy who does motherfucker mike's.

>tfw 3k subs in youtube
>tfw first video that makes more than $25
not sure when its okay to ask for donations, I never stream

>I just keep trying until making it or I just give up.
perfect, you can either milk a game and make it last many hours or throw it after being stuck in a section for a long time
>What kind of personality? I sure am not a comedian.
That's for you to develop, you can build inside jokes or tell stories about yourself while playing or whatever, and people will start knowing you better and coming back to see how you're doing

Old advice (that you still see shilled out now and then) was to "always talk like you've got a room full of people watching". Unfortunately it just makes you look schizophrenic. there's an important balance of knowing when to be quiet, and when to talk, and lots of people haven't yet gotten the memo, and always want to make sure there's no dead air if someone joins the stream. Because just as bad as someone rambling on incessantly about fucking nothing, is someone sitting staring at a screen ACTUALLY saying nothing.

on youtube, it's a pretty bad idea to ask for direct donations. At a certain point you can apply to join the membership program, which is basically just twitch subs but on youtube (and you can also gate videos behind it). If that's not your style, you can do patreon.

You either have to be funny or really good at games to be successful on Twitch.

I'm only funny when I got someone to talk to, but my friend isn't always available or willing to be in my streams, literally all the highlights where something funny is said are with him

My sister is linked with one of the biggest stream teams, and she pulled some strings and got me signed up too! I still only average about 200 viewers, but I suspect my channel will pick up soon. I have 5.8k followers, but my community is amazing.

I'm helping them with their xmas charity drive this year, which should drive a lot of new viewers to my stream!

>ESL
>only people that complain about my english are other latinos
why are we like this?

How do I grow my channel while maintaining my dignity and not doing giveaways or through nepotism?

Estrimea en español, vende patria

ive been getting around $10-15 every month for free

Post you reading the hungry caterpillar and I'll judge
>t.Irishmen

>tfw only way to get viewers is by shamelessly shilling

Why are girls allowed to become millionaires by not doing anything other than show their bodies, but I have to get a Masters degree in Engineering to barely make a living?

>start streaming for niche game before it even has a spanish community
>game becomes popular
>now all latinos are entitled to my stuff
oh fuck off, you faggots never supported me

>while maintaining my dignity
Found your problem.

Sell your soul to reddit via self promotion

I have 113 followers but I barely get 5 viewers when I stream. It's still fun.

consistency
uniqueness
multi stream as much as possible
fuck affiliate aim for partner

>tfw YT channel is starting to get a few subs per day now
>they are all south americans

ok, el guiso frenico

Got my first viewer a month back, stopped streaming after that.

Los hispanoparlantes no saben pagar

que

>join stream
>small game, 8 viewers, assume it's gonna be comfy discussion with a tight knit group like a lot of small streams on Twtich
>streamer is just spamming dungeon runs and rambling non stop about wanting to fuck Pokimane
>chat is almost completely dead, every once in a while someone pops in to ask a question about the game and gets ignored
That was wack

no pueden*

I am going to take this opportunity to ElPato2000

get lucky. Strictly speaking there's not some magic ticket, nothing you do guarantees success, giveaways are like 98% bots and children who will just mute your stream and leave it on in the background, and aren't a source of sustainable viewers (as they'll all leave the instant it's over and they didn't win).
You can TRY to grow by playing a game somewhere middling in popularity with a dedicated community, IE, not fortnite, not league, not wow, etc, something like destiny, or tarkov. Smaller works too, but when you go TOO small, you risk your community being built entirely on that one game and leaving you behind when you move away from it, or it dies. I streamed a game called paragon, you may remember it of "REAL GRAPHICS" fame. I had about 180 viewers every time I streamed. When it died, I lost all but 10 of them. People just didn't care. There's really no way to grow anymore without luck and networking. And that networking is just as unstable and volatile as anywhere else, people are so beholden to retarded follow 4 follow garbage that they'll never ac tually interact, they'll never host you, they'll never pop in besides MAYBE a raid if you're lucky (which will have 0 people from their channel because raids are retarded), it's just worthless.

tl;dr luck, like I said.

>girl I know opens an onlyfans
I wonder if she's making any money considering how ratas we are in our country

Sounds like the guy was just enjoying his time. What is the type of content you're actually interested in? Asking as a potential Twitch streamer.

multi streaming doesnt do shit

>giveaways are like 98% bots and children who will just mute your stream and leave it on in the background

Wait why would people do this?

do you think I could get many viewers if I do art streams creating illustrations of a similar level to pic related?

im affiliate and my channel is going nowhere but I like having channel emotes that I can shitpost and make people seethe, and I have been affiliate so long that I have instant emote approval.

other than that there is really no good reason to be affiliate.

bits are pointless its just twitch taking like 30% for free, subs are pretty much pointless due to the few that I do get.

there's like a big list to all the benefits of being affiliate and there are all pointless

Because a supermajority of people hold giveaways through some shitty, easily exploited chatbot like deepbot or streamelements, where you don't even have to be watching the stream, just be idle in chat to gather points. The new channel points system built in to twitch is a little better because it functions the same way as game drops. If you're muted entirely, no points, if you're paused, no points, if you don't ahve the stream open and are only in chat, no points (except watch streak points, for some reason)

Tried streaming in the past but I'm too much of an anxious sperg for it. That and I can't stand myself so watching the vod and seeing how insufferable I was made me quit day one.

Let me guess, Genshin Impact?

With enough time yeah.
Man I wish I could draw even remotely decently.
