@@zer0_ceil chat in other people's streams and once you have a bit more of a following then reach out, for security reasons people don't network with tiny channels (not always about clout, just safety & whatnot so don't get offended, it is what it is) and host community events or engage in trends (not all trends click so do some research before you hop on em, they don't always mesh with your brand/personality).
The problem I felt watching live streaming on both platforms is that TH-cam feels cold. Twitch feels like I'm entering the streamers room and hanging out with friends. It's cosy. TH-cam had so much video spam all around me while viewing that it just felt like watching any other TH-cam content and very distracting and impersonal. They need to make a different looking visual layout for Live Streaming, so it doesn't look exactly like TH-cam when you enter the room, even though it is. Just like how you entered different rooms in this video. Make it warm and personal when you enter someone's Live stream space.
I agree. The recommendations on the stream are not helpful. But they kinda dont wanna get rid of that, because if anything if you switch to another video, you stay on the platform, which is their main goal. A big thing would be the theatre mode for streams being better with chat on the site implemented. Right now chat is kinda lost, which is a big thing for any streamer ofc.
Your videos always happen to be recommended to me at the right moments. Kind of scary how that happens actually... I really enjoy how transparent you are with this information and you don't have "the secret sauce" behind a paywall. All of your videos are extremely easily digestible too. Keep up the great work and thank you for the inspiration!
I’m a mental health coach for my day job and when I started letting people know about that business during my live streams it immediately dwarfed what I was making from streaming. Off platform monetization is FANTASTIC and it also allows you to not get so caught up in the numbers of your stream when things aren’t going quite as well.
Would really love a comprehensive video on ways to sell merch. You making your own product vs POD, comparing the pros and cons of ALL the different sites (I never see anything on teespring), building your own shop, or partnering with a company. And at what point each option is right for you and your product, and when the expenses vs profits vs time tip the scales.
I love the way you change the shots in to less typical perfect ones and it yet it still looks so good and works. Really inspiring to see it done like this.
This seems kinda random but I loved the mix between informative content and totally unrelated footage that you did with this video. It seemed even more personal than your typical videos.
❤ I’m setting up my first streaming set up and your videos have been beyond helpful and you sort of give the viewers a , welcome to the family feel , Thanks 🙏🏼 , this is a high five.
Great video! A possible suggestion for a future video: could you go through and describe all of the right "settings" within the "Go Live" tab on TH-cam? Things like "language and captions certification" and "recording date and location", should I be filling these things out before I go live? Would doing that potentially increase the reach of my broadcast? How many "tags" should I be using? Made for kids vs. not made for kids, should I allow automatic chapters? All of that stuff. Thanks and love your videos!
StreamElements and StreamLabs are another donation method a ton of Twitch streamers I watch use. TH-cam creators could use it as well. I believe they don't even take a cut of the donations, so more goes to the streamer. They also have integrations that allow these donations to post stream notifications, messages, alerts, sounds, etc. Since it is currently October, a lot of streamers are offering "jump scare" donation alerts at a certain dollar amount, often 6.66 dollars for the meme.
Isn't that just the donations? He mentioned that and said PayPal takes a cut. And the integrated sound alerts take a huge portion of your profit. I would recommend setting up your own donor alerts to through streamerbot
My man...This was a great vid! I've been playing the balancing game between purple and red for a while now, and after getting some info here, and new links, I think i'm going all red. Thanks bruv!
I'm laying down the ground work for a custom PCs company. (yes, I know that business is INCREDIBLY hard to get into, and incredibly hard to do well in, but there's only like 5 major brands, and I want a cut of that pie)
Cool, hope you are successful! But btw if ya even wanna make a sponsorship deal with a larger youtuber, hit me up! Like a Gentoo Gamer spec preset n me promoting it lol idk.
Interesting as always (I've watched your previous stuff on this, but the refresher is great! Those lights though! You finally did them and MAN do they look good! Cannot wait to see the room finished.
@13:22 That is some thick drywall! Did you double up on 5/8" to help with sound? How well did that work? I've only ever seen this done with a layer of green glue between each drywall sheet and I've always wondered if that was necessary, or if just two thick sheets raised the STC enough that the extra expense of green glue simply wasn't necessary.
i'm a reptile youtuber and i'm struggling coming up with ideas for off-site revenue. I dont know what i could offer, i tried some of the estsablished things (patreon for example), but nothing works. I have to do something reptile related, but i can't compete with massive corporations products for reptiles!
Just streamed with my buddy last night and realized we both have a long way to go. Still figuring out all the ins and outs. I don’t even have alerts yet!
you do not know how relavent this video is to me right now ! I just started posting again on youtube after a year, and things seem to be going well, but I wasnt really sure what to do to capatalize on the growth that came out of nowhere
Here's a question, how do Creators figure out what an appropriate amount is to charge for sponsor spots, etc? Is that b a trial-and-error sort of thing, or is there an industry standard based on views that nobody really talks about?
As a small creator... The big reason I still consider YT my second choice, is that I can make some money (even if it's not much) from Twitch... But until I get to a certain point, which even 2 years in I'm not yet close to, I just can't make money on YT.🤷 Also YT really wants a different experience from VoDs for the most part... Highly edited videos, Shorts, etc pay off the most with a small audience of YT subscribers. I've made way more Subscribers on YT for 'extra' content than my bread & butter streams. Which sucks if your a streamer first. Maybe it would be different if I streamed on YT, but even if I did I'd make zero money from YT and a irregular flow from Twitch and I have more twice the audience on Twitch to YT. I'd love to try out YT again, but until I manage to reach monetized status on YT I can't see it working for me...
Last night I actually did a write up for unique headphones for people with neck strain and medical issues but still keep the quality for gaming, media consumption
Hey one question: Besides all the stuff you have to do in this business. How exactly do you get sponsors. Have you people work for you or do you search them? Or do they just ask you if you want to advertise for them?
Great video, some helpful tips. One thing you forgot or even overlooked is Sound Alerts and other 3rd party interaction. The only reason I haven’t made the jump to TH-cam is my viewers love the interaction using sound alerts when something relevant happens during stream. If TH-cam can somehow add this feature , I think most will jump ship from the purple app
While it takes more work, it’s possible to run your own bot, like Streamer Bot, to trigger sounds instead of using Sound Alerts. Specific sounds can be triggered by command or by donation amount. My Twitch subs get access to commands I call “sub sounds” that are all triggered by my bot (running on my PC).
@@DasLyfe totally agree. Get streamerbot and create your sound alerts for TH-cam. Or do it for twitch too because those third party sound alerts take a huge chunk of your profits
I'll admit I haven't been through all of your videos on the subject yet, but on the off-chance there isn't one, could you teach us how to make highlight reels for our channel? I've never made videos before, but I really want to learn-and you do such a good job of incorporating different learning styles into your teaching that I know it would make sense coming from you.
I don't think he has made one on highlights, and - I hate to be that guy but - it's really easy, there's no trick to it. You're just making bite-sized pieces of your stream that people watch... Even less than your vods. Highlights are just big clips. What I do is stream with TH-cam videos in mind so I know certain sections of my stream will make a decent yt vid. After stream I take a few minutes to clip out one or two. Then use them for TH-cam, either posting as is, or with light editing. If you want a guide, I bet someone like StreamScheme would have made a vid on it.
Should you try to salvage a stagnant channel? Or should you just use it as a learning experience or make it a live only gaming channel and make another channel for gaming videos, blogs/vlogs channel, other interest?
Not anymore about the $2.50. Last time we got way less revenue than months before. The subs international prices were drastically reduced. I got an email fro twitch stating that on some places the subs prices could be just $1 dollar and all the fees charges are taken before that 50/50 split, so on that situation our cut could be of $35 cents (that’s crazy!!) I’m very disappointed at twitch it is not worth it anymore.
Ack that's so true! I usually just half my sub revenue for a stream to roughly calculate how much I've made, But that's certainly not always true. Thanks for the reminder that twitch is bananas!!
Yoo, can you make a video on a budget streaming/gaming pc build for 2022? Like include webcam and everything and tell us why you chose the specific pieces. Maybe its a bit gimmicky from tech review youtubers but im sure you could niche it down right?
Love your videos. Have to say that first. While I like TH-cam, cause I've streamed there before, I had to move to Twitch because I live in The Bahamas, which is not a country that is on TH-cam's list of countries eligible for monetization. This means that even if I make the 1000 subscribers, I CANNOT receive the benefits of all the things that TH-cam has to offer for streamers. I've been wanting to talk to someone at TH-cam about this. I've tweeted, emailed, instagramed, etc. I can't get ahold of someone at TH-cam who can tell me what our country needs to do in order to be eligible for monetization. I even made videos on my channel about this and tagged TH-cam in it. This is why I had no choice but to move to Twitch. Because even though Twitch is getting all this heat, they're the only ones paying.
Considering what's going on with Twitch and how TH-cam is trying to reposition itself a little, would you recommend new streamers who also want to produce vods to just go with YT to live stream and publish vods or recommend sticking to streaming on Twitch and posting vods to YT? Curious what your thoughts are on the future of live streaming on YT and if it will mature on the platform or just fade out.
Imo its better to be on Twitch in the meantime, unless YT reworks their layout (maybe a live page?) And a rework on the chat bar i wont recommend moving just yet. If you are more inclined to video creation then go YT but for live streaming? Stick to Twitch for now, keep an eye out for vidcon, i suspect a massive overhaul/announcement that will cause a massive exodus to YT. Keep grinding my dude!
TH-cam is making positive strides almost weekly to a better live streaming platform and cohesive community. But for now l would suggest live streaming on twitch and posting videos to TH-cam. Diversifying will also be a plus. I make twitch content with TH-cam vids in mind and after I stream on twitch, take a few minutes to make highlights of the sections I want to post to TH-cam or shorts. It's nothing fancy or highly edited, but I want to build a base. For now, make sure you hit "go live" on your TH-cam, because it makes you wait 24hrs before you Livestream for the first time.
I see heavy influences from Casey Neistat, not that it's a bad thing, but after watching him a lot it becomes apparent in so many content creators work. But also it gets a bit boring. Never before would that scene from Fightclub come to my mind more often, then when I watch todays social media. Everything has become a copy of a copy of a copy... I think I watched a cool video about culture referncing itself somewhere too. We can't help it, it's the way it is, but man do I wish there was more original work out there.
i started this week glad i found ur videos its really helpful ill start streaming soon getting everything ready thanks for the help wish u best of luck 🤞🤞❤❤
Thanks for this! I am really hoping to find a way to allow viewers to drastically change my streaming environment through donations (from changing light colors to activating simple moving electronics). Just got to unlock Monetization first XD
@@Artbug Good idea. Thank you. Don't know why I've been dragging my feet on creating a donation method for so long, but I really should just set it up by now.
i LOVE these Harris Hangout vids. My streaming is primarily set building (lego, gunpla, book nooks, etc). I'd love to have something other than my Lego Affiliate link but I'm honestly not sure what it'd be....
Back when I first started writing my web novel series, I was fortunate enough to have numerous patrons on Patreon. At one point, I was making enough where Patreon became a third paycheck -- the first two being my part-time job where I got paid biweekly. It really helped me out and I'm still grateful to all the patrons. I'll occasionally get a patron but I never got back to my early days as a web novel author.
I have an idea on how I'd like to run my TH-cam channel that I've never seen anyone use before. I would love your perspective on it, do you offer any 1 on 1 coaching, tips, consultation, etc?
While I'm not actively streaming or creating content - I wanted to make a platform to help content creators design and sell merch, offering a much more generous affiliate cut vs your Stream Elements, Design By Humans, etc. etc.
YES SIR! All around I also believe TH-cam is the better platform to start streaming on over Twitch for absolute beginners. So many options to grow an live stream audience all in one place. But still I think Facebook is THE place people starting from 0 should at least give a try. It's still hot over there and easier to get discovered. Restreaming is always an option too 🙏🏾
Your last point about making "REAL money" is BANG ON. If you look at a TH-cam channel from a business point of view, its basically a low-cost distribution channel. If a suitably large channel leverages that kind of distribution (read: subscribers) along with a relevant product, its a great way to make money.
Do you happen to know if streaming might be a good way to get an audience should I decide to self-publish a book at some point? I'm still thinking about streaming for fun but wonder if it might one day become a secondary job.
Great Content, always look forward to hearing your take on video creation. Streaming... Not ready for that - but that doesn't mean i don't know a resource. Looking forward to that. :)
Thank you for the information! We are a small and growing anime and Japanese culture based YT channel. We are looking to expand our brand and business in this next upcoming year. We appreciate all the tips and tricks you are willing to share!
I used to paint 3d printed minis and sell them on etsy. sadly shipping is so expensive now that I can't afford to keep doing it. Not really sure how to combat that one...
Hi Harris, Nice video. There are few things I think different since this year, specially ads on Twitch. The revenue came from it is what make me able to keep streaming and getting profit. However, I changed from livestream only to a re-run with reward system + live stream. I see I lost the feeling of community a little, as it runs 24x7, but the incoming with ads or sponsored lives (that I can keep running for 1 to 7 days), makes it viable to keep streaming. Do you have any study about twitch re-run to share to us?
I know one day I can hit my goals and do TH-cam full time, I have to believe in myself and be smart about the content I create! Thanks for the dope advice!
I hope to one day be able to bring all of that to my own channel. As of right now I do not have in mind a product I could sell. But Im sure I could come up with something one day. Right now still trying to unlock channel monetizing. Thank you Harris for always bringing these videos out. I have watched a lot of "youtuber help" creators, but YOU have helped the most. Thank you!
Perhaps one thing to add is how revenue split is different for fan funding on Mobile. Google/TH-cam maintain the same split on Android, while on iOS Apple takes its cut on top. Superchats cost the same on iOS, but streamers make less from those. For Twitch, bits and subs cost more on both iOS and Android, and streamers gets the same.
Could you set up a creator payment service? 50/50? first £100? then gets lower.. Also a shopping link service purely on a % basis.. Maybe an all in one service that's global.. BTW have a few lights that are brightness & rgb adjustable pointing up on top of the bars..
Linus's Creator Warehouse is a special case scenario though, as he employs 80 people over 4 business units, including his own video platform Floatplane
I know someone who left TH-cam Gaming for Twitch because the split for Superchats was 10/90 si she completely Disabled it which she was getting so much hate from TH-cam that she said i dont feel safe streaming on this Platform
This was a great well explained video!! I have battled with where I want to stream and Im like on both although I would like to stay on youtube. But the 1000 sub minimum for members is hard to reach with a full time job and not a lot of time for videos. Merch store would be so damn cool... One day maybe it will be a reality! Everyone don't stop grinding!!
You missed the new Twitch Ad Incentives as well as the new Ad Payout Structure. They pay pretty decently compared to the pennies Twitch paid before. Also any chance we could get a video on different ways to get sponsorships and what an average payout would be for a small to mid level creator on youtube vs twitch?
This was very insightful, for real! im currently thinking about making shorts/live streams and vods to start my channel on YT. I know you have made older videos on how to setup live streams, notifications and all ... but could you make a new one with step by step, thanks!

It's nothing fancy or highly edited, but I want to build a base. For now, make sure you hit "go live" on your TH-cam, because it makes you wait 24hrs before you Livestream for the first time.
The thing you did with intertwining filming your video with another project you think people could find interesting is genius. Well done.
I see heavy influences from Casey Neistat, not that it's a bad thing, but after watching him a lot it becomes apparent in so many content creators work. But also it gets a bit boring. Never before would that scene from Fightclub come to my mind more often, then when I watch todays social media. Everything has become a copy of a copy of a copy... I think I watched a cool video about culture referncing itself somewhere too. We can't help it, it's the way it is, but man do I wish there was more original work out there.
i started this week glad i found ur videos its really helpful ill start streaming soon getting everything ready thanks for the help wish u best of luck 🤞🤞❤❤
thanks alot. for a dad to understand how to guide his son!
7:40 - Heads up Harris. Elgato just released their official Lint Roller. I'm looking forward to your review.
Thanks for this! I am really hoping to find a way to allow viewers to drastically change my streaming environment through donations (from changing light colors to activating simple moving electronics). Just got to unlock Monetization first XD
You can setup regular donations from the start. And streamerbot might be a great option to help control this alert setup you're thinking of
@@Artbug Good idea. Thank you. Don't know why I've been dragging my feet on creating a donation method for so long, but I really should just set it up by now.
i LOVE these Harris Hangout vids. My streaming is primarily set building (lego, gunpla, book nooks, etc). I'd love to have something other than my Lego Affiliate link but I'm honestly not sure what it'd be....
Back when I first started writing my web novel series, I was fortunate enough to have numerous patrons on Patreon. At one point, I was making enough where Patreon became a third paycheck -- the first two being my part-time job where I got paid biweekly. It really helped me out and I'm still grateful to all the patrons. I'll occasionally get a patron but I never got back to my early days as a web novel author.
As someone getting ready to post content again after a 6 month hiatus, this is a very well timed video
I have an idea on how I'd like to run my TH-cam channel that I've never seen anyone use before. I would love your perspective on it, do you offer any 1 on 1 coaching, tips, consultation, etc?
Nice video. I love the way you decided to present this material while wiring the lights 😂
While I'm not actively streaming or creating content - I wanted to make a platform to help content creators design and sell merch, offering a much more generous affiliate cut vs your Stream Elements, Design By Humans, etc. etc.
I'm still figuring it out what it is that I want to do but your videos sure have helped me figuring out what it is that I want to do!
YES SIR! All around I also believe TH-cam is the better platform to start streaming on over Twitch for absolute beginners. So many options to grow an live stream audience all in one place. But still I think Facebook is THE place people starting from 0 should at least give a try. It's still hot over there and easier to get discovered. Restreaming is always an option too 🙏🏾
I've done great starting from nothing on twitch this past year...I'm finding it much more difficult to grow on youtube
@@Artbug really? I’m very curious about that. What did you do to grow on Twitch starting from now following last year?
Your last point about making "REAL money" is BANG ON. If you look at a TH-cam channel from a business point of view, its basically a low-cost distribution channel. If a suitably large channel leverages that kind of distribution (read: subscribers) along with a relevant product, its a great way to make money.
Do you happen to know if streaming might be a good way to get an audience should I decide to self-publish a book at some point? I'm still thinking about streaming for fun but wonder if it might one day become a secondary job.
Thanks! I haven’t streamed in over a year, life happens, but I still use Stream Beats for relaxing and college.
Harris Heller - TH-cam's most lighting-obsessed content creator.
Great Content, always look forward to hearing your take on video creation. Streaming... Not ready for that - but that doesn't mean i don't know a resource.
Looking forward to that. :)
Thank you for the information! We are a small and growing anime and Japanese culture based YT channel. We are looking to expand our brand and business in this next upcoming year. We appreciate all the tips and tricks you are willing to share!
Stream beats is what I’m using to start my channel working on my first videos now hopefully it’ll turn out good
My friend started a twitch she has over required amount of time, over 30 subs, view per live is 15+ and been over 2 months since she got paid.
I used to paint 3d printed minis and sell them on etsy. sadly shipping is so expensive now that I can't afford to keep doing it. Not really sure how to combat that one...
Hi Harris,
Nice video.
There are few things I think different since this year, specially ads on Twitch.
The revenue came from it is what make me able to keep streaming and getting profit.
However, I changed from livestream only to a re-run with reward system + live stream.
I see I lost the feeling of community a little, as it runs 24x7, but the incoming with ads or sponsored lives (that I can keep running for 1 to 7 days), makes it viable to keep streaming.
Do you have any study about twitch re-run to share to us?
Hi Senpai, I would appreciate an overview of how you find sponsors or affiliates.
Hey engagement! Also I'm a big fan of Charlie White creating a line of plain white T-Shirts. What an obvious and great idea that was!
I know one day I can hit my goals and do TH-cam full time, I have to believe in myself and be smart about the content I create! Thanks for the dope advice!
Dropping A1 knowledgably content like always, thank you !
Thanks for the quality of your video! The time and effort you are taking is precious for beginners like me. 🙏 You chose well your name as a Senpai!
This helped give me some perspective of moving forward! Thank you so much!
I hope to one day be able to bring all of that to my own channel. As of right now I do not have in mind a product I could sell. But Im sure I could come up with something one day. Right now still trying to unlock channel monetizing. Thank you Harris for always bringing these videos out. I have watched a lot of "youtuber help" creators, but YOU have helped the most. Thank you!
Been Watching Your Video Since Forever, The Confidence When You Speak, At The Same Time Gave People Confidence too, Cheers Harris :)
Perhaps one thing to add is how revenue split is different for fan funding on Mobile. Google/TH-cam maintain the same split on Android, while on iOS Apple takes its cut on top. Superchats cost the same on iOS, but streamers make less from those. For Twitch, bits and subs cost more on both iOS and Android, and streamers gets the same.
Could you set up a creator payment service? 50/50? first £100? then gets lower..
Also a shopping link service purely on a % basis..
Maybe an all in one service that's global..
BTW have a few lights that are brightness & rgb adjustable pointing up on top of the bars..
Linus's Creator Warehouse is a special case scenario though, as he employs 80 people over 4 business units, including his own video platform Floatplane
What rails are you using? Sizes of pipe?
I love that the advice for how to make money streaming is to focus on revenue sources outside the platform. Still, after like a decade.
Thank youu, still learning and taking me to school for free!
Best free online education for self marketing and streaming :))
- Axxo
May I know what mic you're using? That quality while mobile.
I know someone who left TH-cam Gaming for Twitch because the split for Superchats was 10/90 si she completely Disabled it which she was getting so much hate from TH-cam that she said i dont feel safe streaming on this Platform
Harris mentions evergreen content as I watch this video 8 months after its uploaded. So true.
This was a great well explained video!! I have battled with where I want to stream and Im like on both although I would like to stay on youtube. But the 1000 sub minimum for members is hard to reach with a full time job and not a lot of time for videos. Merch store would be so damn cool... One day maybe it will be a reality! Everyone don't stop grinding!!
Watching this in the morning ☕before starting my day
thx for all the ideas
Nice video about lighting, it's kinda ruined by the money talks tho
love those vans this dude is wearing. great color
You missed the new Twitch Ad Incentives as well as the new Ad Payout Structure. They pay pretty decently compared to the pennies Twitch paid before. Also any chance we could get a video on different ways to get sponsorships and what an average payout would be for a small to mid level creator on youtube vs twitch?
Im planning on putting in my 3-4 week notice to my 12hr job. And this is what im looking up lol
Did you pick a winner for the Yamaha ZG01
Just love your casual style in your videos
I’m getting ideas for digital products
Harris, are you considering getting a few rap songs into the streambeats?
This was very insightful, for real! im currently thinking about making shorts/live streams and vods to start my channel on YT. I know you have made older videos on how to setup live streams, notifications and all ... but could you make a new one with step by step, thanks!
I would like to see a critique and review of direct shippinv merch sites.
Do you think tiktok creators can make serious money too when it comes to gaming or is it jsut twitch / youtube mainly?
Watching these videos give me inspiration and drive to try and make content that people will enjoy ❤
5:36 The electrician in me needs to tell you that is not a screw lol. It's called a lock ring!
I work in aviation fixing airplane parts. Wonder what business ideas I can come up with. Lol.
