      It was actually kinda surreal, when Ludwig put your image up, and was like, "Do you know who this is?" Kinda nutty to see someone from the PvP community get recognized in a positive way from such a large content creator. Might make getting spun all day worth it. Good work my dude!

      @@Simple_Dave_JrThat’s wild man. I’m just going to speak as an observer since I don’t agree with the “it’s all luck” basis, and hope I can give you insight.
      I think Jynxzi skyrocketed because he was entertaining and skilled at siege (I think entertaining was the bigger factor), along with his time commitment. With many of his clips being posted on Instagram reels, TikTok, TH-cam shorts, etc… he was able to gain mass recognition.
      So much that it eventually translated into Twitch viewership. That’s how I found out about him, same with Speed and CaseOH.
      Put simply, Jynxzi was 1. very entertaining and 2. had clips spread on all platforms till he eventually went viral
      You can’t just be streaming to go big. Well you can, but it could take a long time or it just be luck as you said. Jynxzi’s case wasn’t just pure bland streaming. There’s probably more factors and small details, but that’s just the gist of my observation.
      All the big streamers were better at something than most to go big.

    His first piece of advice is spot on. My first few streams got either no views or negative views it felt like, but slowly over time people came. And if you make the excuse that your pc isn't good enough, well guess what?! Neither is mine, I'm running a fucking gt 730 in a pc I found on Amazon for a stupid low amount. It was litteraly just enough to get my foot in the door. I use a combination of obs and PS remote play to stream, the quality sometimes sucks but it's better than nothing. I've slowly upgraded different things and now I'm just working on getting a new pc.

      I tried using PS Remote Play to stream since my PC isn't that great (streaming anything that isn't either 2000s era or the GBA and SNES emulators is basically a no-go due to how potato my PC is), I had to give up using Remote Play eventually though, screen just pixelates way too often, to the point I may as well stream through the console itself rather than through OBS

    This morning, i got sent this video by one of my biggest supporters. I have been streaming (for the most part) multiple times a week since October of 2020 and for the most part, have not gotten anywhere. After my hundreds of hours of experience, I believed that i had thought of every possibiilty for what I might be doing it wrong and since I've never had the money for professional equipment, I've blamed it on that.
    But this video changes EVERYTHING. It gave me some much needed perspective on what streaming should be as opposed to the false conceptions I had built about what it was. It showed me what I can do better and the next steps I need to take to become the streamer I want to be and got me out of the trap I have been keeping myself in for the better part of the past few years.
    To those of you who, like I had, have put in the time and believe there is nothing to do internally to better yourself as a streamer, I encourage you to watch this video as many times as you need to and keep an open mind that being trapped in that mindset might be the very thing keeping you where you are.
    Dont be afraid of being wrong or making mistakes because the truth is youre going to fo that a lot. Everybody is. Failure is the best teacher.
    If you read this, thank you. I'm aware that there could be people replying to this saying that nobody asked and I know that. I didnt do this for them, I did this for you and I did this for me. I had to get this out of my system.

    So, I started streaming last year and actually did most of the stuff you listed. I just went live for the sake of being live; I made interesting titles, and I even created a TH-cam short. But I always stared at my view count, and at some point, got kinda depressed that I had an average view count of 2 (one being me and the other the StreamElements bot). At some point, I didn't feel like gaming anymore, I just stopped and thought to myself, 'this is it. I'm done with streaming.'
    But it never left my mind. Sometimes I just came up with streaming ideas, like IRL streams with my animals or a stream of me learning the piano, or even just playing my favorite video game. But I was really scared of disappointing viewers who haven't seen me in a while and streaming something they didn't follow me for.
    I always had a goal for streaming: just make people laugh and form a small to big community who I can have fun with. I want to react to their memes; I'd love to get some fan art, and I'd really love to talk to my chat in silly or deep ways (so often I just fantasize of me and a chat and talking about a topic I just though of xD). I have a bot who regularly tells chatters to be more active in chat because I love speaking with them. So this would be my end goal.
    With your video right now, I think I will give it a shot one more time and just try to stream and make clips even though I don't know if it will work. So really, really thank you for this video; it really touched me on a personal matter and gave me motivation to become a streamer again.

    I don't currently create content, but I do intend to do so eventually, I have already made some progress even. I care tons about learning about these content tips, both because of my eventual goals but also because I study Marketing and I'll need them regardless.
    I truly believe in the skill elements of these platforms.
    I believe in the possibility to reach a minimum stability to even the big dream, I believe creating is awesome and fullfiling, I've done it one way or another all my life...

    I have a friend who has been streaming for a bit, but I notice she actively doesn't have any content plan, she almost doesn't seem interested, but she also regularly speaks of the big dream, she streams occasionally with none of these goals in mind, particularly the clip mentality I too have recognized as necessary.

    I love me a Ludwig presentation (the man knows how to teach). The pie chart at 4:04 killed me (it's important to be aware how limited your sample is, but also I feel he made that chart out of spite towards the people who ignored him) 😂 I liked the insight about clips (19:02); it's not even something I'd thought about but it does makes sense. Also, it's interesting how the youtube video structure (premise, bones, conclusion) is really similar to an essay (introduction, body, conclusion). The "yoink and twist" really seems like a good way of getting ideas from other people while being transformative at the same time (it's a built-in defense against plagiarism, which is pretty smart).

    I'm an incredibly tiny streamer. I've streamed a few times, but only like 3 times with mic. It was fun, though. I recently beat the final boss of Elden Ring at level 1, and I streamed it. I had like 5 viewers tops, some of them friends I know and one random guy that showed up, but it was fun. And I think I'll try to do something like that more often. Thanks, man.

    This is a rough video to process. Honestly, I not only make videos+edit them all myself but I also write illustrate and self publish my own comic....this comes from the fact I have zero budget in life, but refuse to let this hold me back!
    I'm a pretty out going person and should have pushed myself to make videos many years ago, but due to the fact I really wanted to work on my comic it's kept me in a "cave" so to speak working 14h days and pushing multiple side jobs just to make ends meet.
    Now that I've spent almost 10 years of making my comic, I've realized I have little to no followers on any social platform and am struggling with it's awareness 😅
    I kept telling myself I had to wait until I finished my comic(6 more years) before I started making youtube videos but I've realized this isn't the proper way to do things at all and your videos on building everything up have definitely helped!
    So I've thrown myself into making videos dedicated to things I am passionate about! I know this is a really slow burn as it's been a year now and I havn't reached anywhere near all the goals I had written down for myself, but hopfully I get lucky down the line. Collabs is something I never really thought about doing? and I would LOVE to do some! So I am going to start looking into this🤔
    I'm a determined and disciplined person, I only hope this will be to my advantage and not a detriment after so many years pushing so hard🤣

    This is legit a sign for me to finally start. I told myself I'd start on week 2 of this month. January is almost over and I didn't start yet. I am so bad. But this is a great sign for me to start, My goal is to get nominated for QT's Streamy Awards tbh. Lol. But besides that, I think it would be fun having a job like this. Obviously money and fame are what many want and I'm not going to say I'm super different but I know that's not why you should. I'd love to be an inspiration to people and to cheer people up. I wanna travel and explore places. Obviously going into streaming with the soul purpose of money and fame isn't good cause that won't happen for a long time and could discourage you.

      Gl homie! And just to brighten your vision, let me use myself as a relatable example, I used to have like 30 subs and just a 16 year old with a $200 laptop, so I could play only low end games. I eventually found a niche which was a game on Roblox, and I made a few videos on it and one of them popped off! (Was a combo with a character) so I kept uploading that said game and doing different ideas and eventually I grew from a few hundred, a thousand, to a few thousand, and eventually reached 10k! I also was able to get a new and much better laptop through TH-cam revenue (which I’m still proud of honestly). I was consistent, had a goal in mind (10k subs at the time) and built up from a niche. What I’m getting at is anyone can be anything if you just put your heart to it, and have fun doing it! So I hope you do wonders big man. I’ll definitely get back into the grind of things. Just had a bit of a burn out

    You're so right, making something you care about, making something that's for you and by you, is really what it's about. As a streamer on my own journey, I'll watch some streamers rise really fast, and I'll analyze the things they do. A huge example of this is they'll often have crazy reactions. And I'm like, maybe I'm not loud enough, maybe I don't react enough. But that's not me, I'm not loud, faking the ways I reaction isn't something I'd be proud about. There are streamers who don't do that, who are chill and funny and entertaining, who are still more successful than me. So I can get inspiration from these streamers, but it's so important to also keep being myself.

    I've used some of these tips as a guy who focuses a lot on TH-cam and uses livestreaming as essentially recording sessions.
    I have watched a ton of TH-cam to get ideas for videos. Maybe I don't watch a lot of livestreams, but trying to come up with ideas for videos has helped me improve my streams.
    And I fully agree that if you can't share your videos with family and friends, then that's an issue. My buds watch my videos. I've shown my shorts to my mom. It's more fun if you share your passion with people you love.
    Lot of great advice here Ludwig. I've been trying this stuff out for two and a half years, and only now actually put my goals, inspirations and why to paper. I think it'll be helpful. So thanks for making this man!

    On the last point about showing your work, I have an interesting anecdote. I was always the youtube guy in our family, I watch a ton of it and I send people videos and I talk about cool things I've seen, but I was never really serious about making videos and when I did make a few I mentioned I was making them but didn't show them off. Recently my sister has decided to make a channel, and she's been killing it. She just recently hit 10k subs and she has some videos with over 50k views, but even when she wasn't killing it she told our family group chat that she put a video up, and when my grandfather who lives far away came over she showed him and asked him to subscribe. I'm interested how far this will go, I've already given her some tips from videos like these - alpharad did the equivalent for making a yt channel years ago - but it's gotten to the point where I can't really offer any more advice because I don't have a fanbase to have learned from

    I have a pretty good question though in order to be a gaming streamer is it necessary to be vocal or anything in any way, like do I need to have a mic and talk to my chat or is just replying in chat not good enough? I'm a newer ish streamer and I am terrified of speaking to chat or in general I feel way more comfortable and not as awkward just playing my games and responding to people in chat via typing in chat myself. I don't see myself ever being as big of a streamer as you or any of the others but ya 300 viewers doesn't sound bad at all. So what would be your opinion on this situation? I have seen other Streamers similar to what I'm talking about and they have a couple thousand viewers and they never talk or anything and don't really even interact with chat but yet have a lot of viewers so should I use just use them as my inspiration and try best? I just play casually and play games I like and find fun I don't play to many games at once and tend to play a variety of games at a time. Can you please reply to this on some way it's my biggest wonder with streaming and it is my current road block with streaming I feel like talking is mandatory with streaming and I've never heard someone say it is or not I get it might help out a lot more but I'm just unsure and am looking for some insight on the situation.

    one of the underrated joys of creating & fostering a community as a content creator is being able to grow alongside them as an individual yourself, outside of streaming even. ive been a fan of ludwig for some odd years now and hearing him vocalize his changed perspective on goals being a point of reference, rather than a measure of success as he had in the past, is a beautiful growth to see in someone you respect and look up to in those ways.
    the love you have for your community is shown in things like this where you aim to inspire & encourage others to pursue their dreams, even showing ways to start, and its just a really cool thing to see.

    Ludwig, I have no ambition of being a streamer and whatnot at all, but I found this video to be very informative and grounded me in the difficulty of people willing to make this step. It also made me realise that; the moments where I thought, "maybe streaming could be something for me", would be better to delegate it to " things I could just write about and enjoy it for myself". Gaming for me is a hobby, and producing video content would likely have 0 commentary, because I'm not interested in the whole; presentation side of things as you're hosting the stream v.s. just streaming something you enjoy and hope it catches on. It's cool that you brought forward the perspective of "Mr 10.00", which still represents a success percentile wise, but if you quantify the total viewer count it pales in comparison to the top top top percentile.
