Today is exactly 2 months since i started streaming , i never told anyone (not even my friends hahaha) and i never shared my stream anywhere (except my Instagram fanpage) . I started from scratch and i got viewers just by being Live on Twitch , Currently im on 15avg viewers and im successfully building amazing active friendly Community and im growing day by day because i learned so much from Your videos guys , i cant thank you enough for you amazing work , hope you guys all doing great in Your personal lifes , - With Love Dominik from Slovakia ❤️🇸🇰
I had hit a plateau with my stream and the last tip really stuck with me. I haven't been doing much to foster a community off stream. Recently I revamped my discord, set up movie nights. I get such warm feelings when viewers say hi to each other during a stream instead of just watching only for me. Thank you for all the insanely motivational tips, here's to hoping that 2021 will be the year I finally overcome my plateau :)
My friend raided me during none of my streams with a high number, and helped me hit affiliate. Those friends have been lurking and helping me out, so more people have also been finding me. I used to sit at 2 avg viewers, with one of them being me on my phone, but after I got my pc, started networking, making friends, and am now sitting at 5 average viewers starting at 3 last week. Your tips have definetly helped, and my favorite tip is networking. Lots of people do it, but if you do it correctly, then you can grow insanely
Honestly Eljay, I just started my streaming journey and I'm glad to have caught your videos early on. I made many beginner mistakes but quickly fixed them thanks to your advice so big thanks you my g!
Been 3 months and I finally cracked that 15 viewer average. I would like to thank you wholeheartedly as this channel had taught me ALOT of things A-Z stream related. Thanks Jay and team!
Awesome video, Eljay! Thanks for letting me be apart of it again! One piece of advice, I didn't have time for was learning to talk to yourself out loud. Nobody wants to come into a twitch channel with dead silence from the streamer.
This all sounds like really specific advice. I really appreciate the quality content, no fluff, no bs, no generic advice. Really quality growth tips. Gracias!
Hey Eljay, your videos and advice have definitely helped me grow my Twitch stream within the past few weeks. I started to stream seriously since January and slowly building my own community. These were all things that several months ago I would have never have thought possible. I seriously can't thank you enough of how helpful your videos have been as my steady growth on Twitch has brought me absolute joy. I look forward to your next video! Warm regards, Phanto, head of the Starry Explorers
I've been streaming for over 3 months now and just started getting a few veiwers this week and im so excited. Eljayem do you ever do streams with other streamers I would love to meet you online and chat for a bit! Love the vid btw
I am so nervous to do collab streams still! I act all confident but I am still learning as well! I have some stuff planned in the future though! Thanks for the support as well, I am glad to hear you are getting viewers! #earlygang
Solid advice from everyone in this video. It's funny how i found this on a day that I'm dwelling over TH-cam algorithm, and just realized, from this video, that I'm actually doing BETTER on Twitch. Thank you. You're the best!
Second tip of finding a niche community within a community will for sure take away. In addition to being more unique content i've also found that the main community discords/reddit you usually need to be "legit" content creator and apply before being allowed to plug but finding smaller discords is good idea to get around that.
Thanks Eljay! Just started streaming about a month ago. Right now most of my community is family and friends, so any tips to grow from here is always much appreciated! :D
I am not here for the giveaway, I just wanna say that I really appreciate how much you do for your community. Many people say they answer every question in the comments and so on, but youa ctually answer everything and hep others with their problems. A few weeks ago I was not sure if I should stream in German or swap to English and you helped me see the pros and cons from another perspective. Now I did chose to go for English and it is going well! That is also due to watching your videos and getting those tips, so thank you very much for helping everyone!
@@StreamScheme I like how you just proved my point of you caring about the community, by answering two minutes after I posted the comment haha Thanks for the encouragement :)
This channel has helped me so much, I recently became a twitch affiliate and I hit 100 followers in 2 weeks!! Your video are definitely one of the reasons for my fast growth :0
what helped for me was just really talking in a bunch of different for communities for a long time while sitting on the fence about actually streaming.. till one day i was like fuck it i wanna make people laugh so i got up got everything set up for it and all those people who i grew connections with in that community shared their community with me that i was able to get affiliate within my first week of streaming
Your videos are coming out at the perfect times for me lol, I just reached affiliate the other day after starting from scratch two months ago, and now I'm working on building up even more!
What do you think is stopping you from growing? Ignore the platform for a bit, and just think about what the creators said in this video, what could you implement do you think?
I started streaming on twitch for fun from my Xbox due to the UK going into its second lockdown, and found out I actually really enjoy it. I don't get much attention but I'm looking forward to growing in the future thanks to your tips and tricks :) Appreciate it 🙂
Recently hit 500 followers on twitch and I'm over half way to 600 honestly love streaming and I have such an amazing little community. I'm so thankful for there support❤
Your vids rock man! thanks so much. Ive pondered through the majority of em now and have absorbed so much. Gradually growing and will continue to follow to keep up to date with this epic database of info.
Eljay, I really needed this video mate, like I told you before I am pushing an average of 10/15 but it's now overcoming that milestone to push the content further. You're videos are awesome another absolute banger to watch! a solid 8/10 from me :)
My biggest advice (from what worked for me) is create a TikTok and start making videos everyday. Improve on each video. Almost 90% of my following comes from TikTok. When I go live on twitch I go live on TikTok and push people to my stream. TikTok also promotes your content more when you’re live (need 1k followers) thanks all you do
That is entirely because of your own hard work, I appreciate the kind words but successful people will be successful with or without video guides like mine :) Give yourself all the credit, nobody else! Congrats on smashing it! :)
I think it's important to remember the extra context of that. Reapz played NICHE or small games that larger creators played but weren't in anymore, this allowed him to be discovered rather than hidden behind giant creators.
The toughest part here is HOW you can make your content unique and get even someone's interest, so it wont be just you. xD Been streaming like 8 years already and its STILL hard for me regardless of my efforts.
Sadly nobody can tell you exactly what to do to be unique, you just have to sit down and think hard about what you can do that others can’t or aren’t doing :) Add harder stakes to a game, silly green screen, punishments for follows, etc
Hey eljay! I just found your channel and I have been binging the content for the past day, saw the new vid and had to watch. Thanks for the tips! I’m sure they will help a lot of us smaller creators grow! Means a lot!
#own3d Twitch: HonourConZ, I liked the advice from my man cobble! It can be difficult to start out with 0 so I’ve been doing TH-cam content to get permanent videos out there and get a footing
Did you check out my TH-cam Growth guide as well? That is a great place to start for the old TH-cam journey! Thanks for the kind words as well! It means a lot! :)
This channel is actually amazing I came into content creating with an idea that worked and gave me a small following I’ve now reached my watch time on TH-cam and have now moved over to twitch but didn’t know how I was gonna go about that after watching some of this channels vids I’m starting to see my path so thanks. Ps. I avg at around 10 people per stream atm and around 100 views per vid
More great info again! I get so excited when I see a Stream Scheme video pop up on my feed. I’m such a big fan of schedules and sticking to them. Even when I feel a desire to stream on an unscheduled day, I use that time to create content on another platforms instead. It’s been so helpful
#own3d Solid advice, I've been playing Hades for almost a month and have picked up some consistent viewers, moving to another game soon which I have announced to them, and most are keen to jump over to it too! The advice from Reapz about being a variety streamer but sticking with the game for about a month or so is right. I've stopped watching some smaller streamers because every week they switch games. Solid video dude!
@@StreamScheme Your videos are so helpful. Looking forward to having a gander at the new overlay too. Might find an element or two from it for me too :D
Would an example of a niche game be, a game everyone else is playing just as long as the view count isn’t too high, or how everyone else says is over saturated?
#own3d Twitch BigWyzard - I really appreciate MetalFear’s advice on storytelling to engage and entertain an audience. It is really easy to run out of topics and just narrate what you are doing in a game (which can get boring). I’ve been really trying to improve my “presence” on stream especially because I play with groups. Stories will be an interesting way to keep me talking without talking over the group.
hey eljay, sticking to a schedule is something that popped up in this video again and that you also put so much emphasis on. But what if one really cannot stick to a schedule because of work? thanks alot, I really appreciate your Vids
Just have to do your best to be as consistent as possible, but an external platform like a TH-cam channel or other social media that allows to share content and be discovered will be important to help ease that inconsistency and keep your growth up.
You have no idea at all how much this helps, I appreciate you soooooo much. I still have no mic but I am SOOO prepared to be a hit when I get one. P.D do you think i'll be able to grow even tho i am a bit of a kid still and have a squeaky voice????
Appreciate the helpful videos man! My biggest struggle atm is I have so many people gifting sub I capped out in Twitch Affilitate.. we have 112 subs and average 20 viewers usually. Advice like this helps me grow further thanks so much man.
Great video! Loved hearing the different ways that people grew because it shows there isn't "one way" But I do have question that Metal4fear's tips made me ponder.. If you're looking to grow playing a popular game, would you say that it is ESSENTIAL that you build your audience outside of Twitch?
If there is no way to appear in a category or at the top of the category more specifically then yes it is crucial people can discover you from Somewhere else :)
Pretty much yeah. If you get lost in the sea of streamers then it is REALLY hard for someone to randomly stumble upon your stream so making content on other platforms is really important.
I just wanted to say Thank's I just started streaming but your advices helped me alot for making my stream better i would say. Keep on going you are helping so many People. Sensei Eljay
I love this stuff! But I can't find much about what I have available to me (no pc, 3 year old Nokia and such).. eh. Whatever I'll put in some effort, otherwise what's the point. Also I now have 1 regular viewer! I'm so happy about it and they come back every stream which is amazing. I'm trying to get a pc... Hopefully I get to it..
As a small time streamer myself I just started raiding random streaming whenever I’m about to get offline. I actually go looking for those with 0-3 viewers. Ain’t looking for Something in return I just wanna help out.
#own3d TWITCH: ExiledChaz My favourite piece of advice came from CrescentineTVYT. Building a community is so vital. I'm going to try and be even more welcoming for everyone that joins my chat to form genuine connections! Thank for the giveaway Eljayem! #twitchgang 🔥
It is a very niche topic so it is tough to make a video about it! BUT I think it is all about trend jacking, so finding communities/pop culture/ etc that people love and fit the demographic of Twitch viewers then making art in that space. A good example, people do a stream where they paint/draw/etc a famous and beloved pop culture character, they turn that into a sped up speed drawing with high production quality for TH-cam, then post the FINAL art piece to a forum/subreddit to show it to people who love the character, then in the top comment they often post "If you want to see how I made it, I do have a speed drawing of it here!" In the YT video of the speed drawing is a call to action to promote your Twitch stream :)
Hey I got a question about stream schedule. If I tell them I'm online on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but then my friends tell me they wanna hang out on friday night and Saturday nobody have time and I join them, this isn't good for a stream right? How can I make a schedule when I have no Idea what is going on on my next weekends?
Like I say on these 3 days I'm online at 7pm, but then I have an appointment and maybe something is going on Monday next week and I can't go online. How can I make a fixed schedule then... Sorry for my English I'm from Germany
For the friend conversation the question is, do you want to stream as a career or as a hobby? As for the appointments, try to schedule them on different days but if you can't let your stream know!
@@StreamScheme I have a fulltime job but if I could earn enough money with streaming it would be a dream. I set the schedule on Tuesday, Thursday and friday now 6pm till 9 and Friday open end. But when friends ask me to hang out on Friday, I need to skip the stream this day. Dont feels right if I wanna grow...or what do you think?
you said in a previous video minecraft isnt a niche or small game but it works. I play a lot of minecraft and I stream it but I would like if you could elaborate on why minecraft does work in comparison to other big games.
Minecraft is solid for small streamers if they play it in a specific way, at least from my experience! If you have 5 - 15 viewers, you can set your tags as "playing with viewers" "multiplayer" etc and then title it about playing with viewers as well and often you will get HUGE amounts of people joining. The other way is again, 5 - 15 viewers, and then playing Hardcore with tags for "Hardcore" "ironman" "permadeath" and titles that have high stakes and are engaging. "Exploring The Nether In HARDCORE! - Day 6 - Hardcore Minecraft" as an example. Hope that clarifies!
Love ya videos man Started streaming 3 weeks ago roughly, good amount of views most streams. Got on average 3 people watching me now for majority of my streams ( even climbed up to 7 active viewers today) Changed it up slightly on sunday with a new game. fanastic stream & now i'm planning to do that just on sundays/ writing some rp/what's happened off stream. Now i just need to wait till sunday >.> P.s the game is state of decay 2 juggernaut edition ( you should play it)
In terms of streaming, I have a headset right now with a decent quality mic. It's definitely not the best, but it's clear enough I can be understood and be at a good volume level. Do you think my next purchase should be a webcam or an actual mic? (I'm also uploading TH-cam content if that changes your answer) I'm assuming good quality ones of each would be similar in price so I'm not sure which I should get first. I probably won't be buying anything else for a few months.
That really depends on your background as well, is it nice? Do you have lighting? A facecam goes a long way if you put effort in to make it look nice :) but a good mic is always crucial as well! Up to you and your balance!
I’ve discovered your channel recently and I’m loving your content ! I’m trying to convert your tips for music streaming on twitch. Maybe you’ve got an idea or two on how to improve that ? 😌
I think art streaming or music streaming is about understanding the demographics on Twitch. Violinists who stream video game sound track covers blow up for example, you need to find a way to stand out the way Only_Trails talks about how he did that in this video! Then make a video of the stream, and share it to communities who are passionate! Hope that helps! #earlygang
@@marcdavis4412 Doesn't specifically talk about violin, I just mean trails used his stream as a way to appeal to a unique audience and engage them on other platforms. :)
Tried to find obscure but somewhat popular games to stream. Use twitch tracker and everything. But the games I see don’t really attract my attention to stream and I’m not gonna play a game I don’t enjoy yknow
@@StreamScheme I’ve set up a TH-cam channel and posted. The problem is that I haven’t really been discovered in the past on any platform so it’s just as hard on either
#own3d elviejojugon , for me, the last advice, the Chris' one is very powerful. Although all six talked about growing a community, Chris' went deep in the topic.
#own3d Twitch: Scorpion3yes and the advice that really stuck out the most (and actually relate to) was teawithmandy’s advice on other social media platforms. Before I even had the inkling of a thought of streaming on twitch, I was so active on Twitter and Discord for about a year with 3-4 core communities that I was a part of. I made many great friends in these communities, and when I started, they were shocked but also excited to know that I was starting out! It’s definitely a cushion in my opinion that the first few followers and viewers are friends who I can hangout, chat, and welcome other new people when streaming! All the more engaging, and in my case, all the more to hang out and be comfy with them! Love this video Eljay! Helps me to reinforce what I need to do! o/
#own3d, tireddaddyof4, I liked medal's advice the best. The storytelling was a worry of mine. I have at least a few good or funny stories, but didn't realize that, with high viewer turnover/loyalty, it wouldn't be a problem to retell them. Thanks for the videos!
I have only just started streaming a few weeks ago, and have been watching these videos and taking notes shortly after starting. I am not exactly introverted but I have a habit of being usually a lurker. Is there any advice to help be more social-able and be more interactive with new veiwers in chat?
#Own3d snaileditt and a big fan of everyone's but yours was something which has stuck with me as ive been streaming for some time but due to moving house and chopping and changing consistency and unique content is something I've found difficult to do but seems hugely rewarding for sure!
#own3d Twitch:BushingsTV Crescentines tip on community building is something I would like to get around to doing in the upcoming months. Great Job on the videos Eljay, keep it up! Sidenote: I was wondering if you could one day, talk more about your perspective on marketing (CTA, reach, target audience, etc) in regards to Twitch, TH-cam, or any other platform. I got really interested when some of your past videos talked about marketing and would like to see you talk about this topic more. Regardless if you are able to, I will look forward to your video next week!
Honestly, I just don't like to show my face on screen, personal reasons... I've been trying to break out of that bubble. I love streaming but judgement isn't always easy to deal with. So I've stuck to 2 main games and started there. Took time off because I knew I had nothing to offer. Can't back and through watching most of these videos, sorta showed me it'll get better...

I agree with this it’s very helpful I been trying to play games that my favorite creators have been playing, especially horror games
I think it's important to remember the extra context of that. Reapz played NICHE or small games that larger creators played but weren't in anymore, this allowed him to be discovered rather than hidden behind giant creators.
Thanks for sharing your support especially when you’re reasonably only person I find very excited about learning and watching your show
Been watching your vids for a while bro and taking tips, only recently started avg over 15+, thank you king 👑
Congrats! You're smashing it :) Really happy for you! #earlygang!
Video sugestion: 1 monitor streamers tips
Article on the website about it :)
this helped alot thanks for the in detail video!
The toughest part here is HOW you can make your content unique and get even someone's interest, so it wont be just you. xD
Been streaming like 8 years already and its STILL hard for me regardless of my efforts.
Sadly nobody can tell you exactly what to do to be unique, you just have to sit down and think hard about what you can do that others can’t or aren’t doing :)
Add harder stakes to a game, silly green screen, punishments for follows, etc
@@StreamScheme Indeed and practice makes master as they say. :P
This really helped, I have been trying to grow more on Twitch :)
Hey eljay! I just found your channel and I have been binging the content for the past day, saw the new vid and had to watch. Thanks for the tips! I’m sure they will help a lot of us smaller creators grow! Means a lot!
#own3d Twitch: HonourConZ, I liked the advice from my man cobble! It can be difficult to start out with 0 so I’ve been doing TH-cam content to get permanent videos out there and get a footing
Did you check out my TH-cam Growth guide as well? That is a great place to start for the old TH-cam journey!
Thanks for the kind words as well! It means a lot! :)
This channel is actually amazing I came into content creating with an idea that worked and gave me a small following I’ve now reached my watch time on TH-cam and have now moved over to twitch but didn’t know how I was gonna go about that after watching some of this channels vids I’m starting to see my path so thanks. Ps. I avg at around 10 people per stream atm and around 100 views per vid
I been streamin almost over a year.. and i have a avg of 4:) on the grind baby
What was that bass at the end ElJay? That slaps, man!
That is in every video, Nick! Are you admitting to never watching an ending! hahahaha
@@StreamScheme I may click away a few seconds before the end screen, but now that I know that bass is there...
More great info again! I get so excited when I see a Stream Scheme video pop up on my feed. I’m such a big fan of schedules and sticking to them. Even when I feel a desire to stream on an unscheduled day, I use that time to create content on another platforms instead. It’s been so helpful
Glad you like them! And good work, keep it up mate!
Amazing job on this video , I coming back with gaming Streams next month. Looking forward to seeing your next video
Hope they continue to help!
Thank you for this video. I’m new to streaming and this helped. 💛
Glad it was helpful, Yelle! :)
#own3d Solid advice, I've been playing Hades for almost a month and have picked up some consistent viewers, moving to another game soon which I have announced to them, and most are keen to jump over to it too! The advice from Reapz about being a variety streamer but sticking with the game for about a month or so is right. I've stopped watching some smaller streamers because every week they switch games. Solid video dude!
Glad to hear it’s going well for you, boss! Love seeing your success :) keep it up!
@@StreamScheme Your videos are so helpful. Looking forward to having a gander at the new overlay too. Might find an element or two from it for me too :D
Would an example of a niche game be, a game everyone else is playing just as long as the view count isn’t too high, or how everyone else says is over saturated?
#own3d Twitch BigWyzard - I really appreciate MetalFear’s advice on storytelling to engage and entertain an audience. It is really easy to run out of topics and just narrate what you are doing in a game (which can get boring). I’ve been really trying to improve my “presence” on stream especially because I play with groups. Stories will be an interesting way to keep me talking without talking over the group.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the tip! Stories are interesting and a great way to hook new people into your stream and keep them engaged
hey eljay,
sticking to a schedule is something that popped up in this video again and that you also put so much emphasis on. But what if one really cannot stick to a schedule because of work?
thanks alot, I really appreciate your Vids
Just have to do your best to be as consistent as possible, but an external platform like a TH-cam channel or other social media that allows to share content and be discovered will be important to help ease that inconsistency and keep your growth up.
Elijay I appreciate you brother you have helped me get started in the streaming world!
Awesome. So helpful, super close to affiliate and I needed these for sure!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck mate! #earlygang!
You have no idea at all how much this helps, I appreciate you soooooo much. I still have no mic but I am SOOO prepared to be a hit when I get one. P.D do you think i'll be able to grow even tho i am a bit of a kid still and have a squeaky voice????
Subbed solid info I definitely took notes
Loving the new background
I'm glad!
Very good video. Thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I hit my first 15-20 consistently but I’m stuck now for bout 1-2 months idk if I’m doing something wrong or I gotta just keep doing what I’m doing
give it more time some ppl get stuck for a while. but make sure your posting on other socials and all that :))
It's like what Crescentine said at the end of the video! Community focus!

Plexeti on twitch
Chris advice was best, about encouraging offline interactions.
Nice video mane!!
Appreciate the helpful videos man! My biggest struggle atm is I have so many people gifting sub I capped out in Twitch Affilitate.. we have 112 subs and average 20 viewers usually. Advice like this helps me grow further thanks so much man.
Great video! Loved hearing the different ways that people grew because it shows there isn't "one way"
But I do have question that Metal4fear's tips made me ponder.. If you're looking to grow playing a popular game, would you say that it is ESSENTIAL that you build your audience outside of Twitch?
If there is no way to appear in a category or at the top of the category more specifically then yes it is crucial people can discover you from
Somewhere else :)
Pretty much yeah. If you get lost in the sea of streamers then it is REALLY hard for someone to randomly stumble upon your stream so making content on other platforms is really important.
sheezz great video as always
Thanks mate! :) I really appreciate the kind words! #earlygang
I just wanted to say Thank's I just started streaming but your advices helped me alot for making my stream better i would say. Keep on going you are helping so many People. Sensei Eljay
I love this stuff! But I can't find much about what I have available to me (no pc, 3 year old Nokia and such).. eh. Whatever I'll put in some effort, otherwise what's the point. Also I now have 1 regular viewer! I'm so happy about it and they come back every stream which is amazing. I'm trying to get a pc... Hopefully I get to it..
As a small time streamer myself I just started raiding random streaming whenever I’m about to get offline. I actually go looking for those with 0-3 viewers. Ain’t looking for Something in return I just wanna help out.
Great video as always
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the kindness, Cri! :) #earlygang!
Discord Notification Gang. Had a drop in viewers recently, but looking to mix things up.
It happens! I have drops here and there! Just have to learn to adapt without losing that core reason they followed you! You got this! #earlygang
#own3d TWITCH: ExiledChaz My favourite piece of advice came from CrescentineTVYT. Building a community is so vital. I'm going to try and be even more welcoming for everyone that joins my chat to form genuine connections! Thank for the giveaway Eljayem! #twitchgang 🔥
It would be very interesting for me if you make a video about how to grow as an artist on twitch. I don't see much of it online.
It is a very niche topic so it is tough to make a video about it! BUT I think it is all about trend jacking, so finding communities/pop culture/ etc that people love and fit the demographic of Twitch viewers then making art in that space.
A good example, people do a stream where they paint/draw/etc a famous and beloved pop culture character, they turn that into a sped up speed drawing with high production quality for TH-cam, then post the FINAL art piece to a forum/subreddit to show it to people who love the character, then in the top comment they often post "If you want to see how I made it, I do have a speed drawing of it here!"
In the YT video of the speed drawing is a call to action to promote your Twitch stream :)
Keep up the good video’s!
Thanks Haski! I appreciate the support man! Both here and over on twitch :) it means a lot!
Hey I got a question about stream schedule. If I tell them I'm online on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but then my friends tell me they wanna hang out on friday night and Saturday nobody have time and I join them, this isn't good for a stream right? How can I make a schedule when I have no Idea what is going on on my next weekends?
Like I say on these 3 days I'm online at 7pm, but then I have an appointment and maybe something is going on Monday next week and I can't go online. How can I make a fixed schedule then...
Sorry for my English I'm from Germany
For the friend conversation the question is, do you want to stream as a career or as a hobby?
As for the appointments, try to schedule them on different days but if you can't let your stream know!
@@StreamScheme I have a fulltime job but if I could earn enough money with streaming it would be a dream. I set the schedule on Tuesday, Thursday and friday now 6pm till 9 and Friday open end. But when friends ask me to hang out on Friday, I need to skip the stream this day. Dont feels right if I wanna grow...or what do you think?
you said in a previous video minecraft isnt a niche or small game but it works. I play a lot of minecraft and I stream it but I would like if you could elaborate on why minecraft does work in comparison to other big games.
Minecraft is solid for small streamers if they play it in a specific way, at least from my experience!
If you have 5 - 15 viewers, you can set your tags as "playing with viewers" "multiplayer" etc and then title it about playing with viewers as well and often you will get HUGE amounts of people joining.
The other way is again, 5 - 15 viewers, and then playing Hardcore with tags for "Hardcore" "ironman" "permadeath" and titles that have high stakes and are engaging.
"Exploring The Nether In HARDCORE! - Day 6 - Hardcore Minecraft" as an example. Hope that clarifies!
@@StreamScheme thanks!
Love ya videos man
Started streaming 3 weeks ago roughly, good amount of views most streams. Got on average 3 people watching me now for majority of my streams ( even climbed up to 7 active viewers today)
Changed it up slightly on sunday with a new game. fanastic stream & now i'm planning to do that just on sundays/ writing some rp/what's happened off stream. Now i just need to wait till sunday >.>
P.s the game is state of decay 2 juggernaut edition ( you should play it)
On that note, gonna have a prompt in the command so people can ask whats happened
Glad you find the videos helpful! That really means a lot, congrats on the average viewership climb as well! You got this mate!
I got affiliate in a week a tip I have is to have friends to tab out your stream
the post malone tattoo stream .. I was there xD
Ayyooo! Hope you had fun! :)
@@StreamScheme for sure .. who wouldn't like Post Malone passing you paint and milk lol xD
In terms of streaming, I have a headset right now with a decent quality mic. It's definitely not the best, but it's clear enough I can be understood and be at a good volume level. Do you think my next purchase should be a webcam or an actual mic? (I'm also uploading TH-cam content if that changes your answer) I'm assuming good quality ones of each would be similar in price so I'm not sure which I should get first. I probably won't be buying anything else for a few months.
That really depends on your background as well, is it nice? Do you have lighting?
A facecam goes a long way if you put effort in to make it look nice :) but a good mic is always crucial as well! Up to you and your balance!
Here early again because your content is amazing
@@StreamScheme
Did you change your mic settings to add some of that sweet radio low frequencies?
Anyways, thanks for another great talk.
I change it daily with tweaks to find what works for me, this video I think I am closest to being happy with it :)
@@StreamScheme it was radio-ish enough for me, but I know what you mean, I have been tweaking my sound for 6 years now lol.
#own3d Crescentine's advice was really good I must say, def gonna be trying that out
Thanks so much! Means a lot
Good luck! She is a legend but don't let them know I said that!
Thank youuuuu! Any chance you still got that link for seeing the viewership on each game like that??
Thanks for the tips I got affiliate because of you
Perfect topic, wanted to know that.
Hope it helps! :) #earlygang
Discord notification came in clutch lol
Heck yeah, Sumthin! Hope all is well! #earlygang let's go! :)
Love your videos!
Glad you like them! :) #earlygang!
I’ve discovered your channel recently and I’m loving your content ! I’m trying to convert your tips for music streaming on twitch. Maybe you’ve got an idea or two on how to improve that ? 😌
I think art streaming or music streaming is about understanding the demographics on Twitch.
Violinists who stream video game sound track covers blow up for example, you need to find a way to stand out the way Only_Trails talks about how he did that in this video!
Then make a video of the stream, and share it to communities who are passionate! Hope that helps! #earlygang
@@StreamScheme huuuh did I miss the violin part in the video? I love watching your videos when cooking 🙈
Your videos definitely help yes !
@@marcdavis4412 Doesn't specifically talk about violin, I just mean trails used his stream as a way to appeal to a unique audience and engage them on other platforms. :)
Tried to find obscure but somewhat popular games to stream. Use twitch tracker and everything. But the games I see don’t really attract my attention to stream and I’m not gonna play a game I don’t enjoy yknow
It can be tough, sometimes you need to find other ways to be discovered if you can’t find a good category!
@@StreamScheme I’ve set up a TH-cam channel and posted. The problem is that I haven’t really been discovered in the past on any platform so it’s just as hard on either
Tails said OSRS and my heart fluttered lol
#own3d elviejojugon , for me, the last advice, the Chris' one is very powerful. Although all six talked about growing a community, Chris' went deep in the topic.
That's great! :)
#own3d Twitch: Scorpion3yes and the advice that really stuck out the most (and actually relate to) was teawithmandy’s advice on other social media platforms. Before I even had the inkling of a thought of streaming on twitch, I was so active on Twitter and Discord for about a year with 3-4 core communities that I was a part of. I made many great friends in these communities, and when I started, they were shocked but also excited to know that I was starting out! It’s definitely a cushion in my opinion that the first few followers and viewers are friends who I can hangout, chat, and welcome other new people when streaming! All the more engaging, and in my case, all the more to hang out and be comfy with them! Love this video Eljay! Helps me to reinforce what I need to do! o/
Hey could you maybe make a video for console streamers. Like what overlays and stuff you can apply since u can’t use stream labs or obs.
for some reason the clip of you measuring your head made me realize how beautiful your eyes are😌...
omg a like from stream scheme. tyty 👁👅👁
Oh thanks! Hahaha that’s very kind!
@@StreamScheme omg youre welcome.
Amazing video
#own3d, tireddaddyof4, I liked medal's advice the best. The storytelling was a worry of mine. I have at least a few good or funny stories, but didn't realize that, with high viewer turnover/loyalty, it wouldn't be a problem to retell them. Thanks for the videos!
Obviously don't go overboard but you are all good to tell them again! Don't stress! You got this! :)
I’m surprised his mic goes through the owl
I have only just started streaming a few weeks ago, and have been watching these videos and taking notes shortly after starting. I am not exactly introverted but I have a habit of being usually a lurker. Is there any advice to help be more social-able and be more interactive with new veiwers in chat?
I talk about how to get yourself talking and I talk about confidence building in last weeks Q&A Video :) Those might be good places to start!
#Own3d snaileditt and a big fan of everyone's but yours was something which has stuck with me as ive been streaming for some time but due to moving house and chopping and changing consistency and unique content is something I've found difficult to do but seems hugely rewarding for sure!
#own3d Twitch:BushingsTV
Crescentines tip on community building is something I would like to get around to doing in the upcoming months. Great Job on the videos Eljay, keep it up!
Sidenote: I was wondering if you could one day, talk more about your perspective on marketing (CTA, reach, target audience, etc) in regards to Twitch, TH-cam, or any other platform. I got really interested when some of your past videos talked about marketing and would like to see you talk about this topic more. Regardless if you are able to, I will look forward to your video next week!
Honestly, I just don't like to show my face on screen, personal reasons... I've been trying to break out of that bubble. I love streaming but judgement isn't always easy to deal with. So I've stuck to 2 main games and started there. Took time off because I knew I had nothing to offer. Can't back and through watching most of these videos, sorta showed me it'll get better...
I’ve had trouble finding a good game capture device to hook up my switch
Hey mate did you make your website yourself or did you get a template from somewhere ?
Built by a web designer and web developer :)
@@StreamScheme haha forgot you're a designer
@@Aussien00b Oh I didnt do any of it, I mean we hired a Web Dev/Web Des to do the entire site :)
