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.
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’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.
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 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.
❤ 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!
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!
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.
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
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 🤞🤞❤❤
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 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....
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.
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
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!
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?
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.
@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.
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
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. :)
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.
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...
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?
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!
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!
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!!
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!
One thing you forgot to mention with the twitch sub split. The top streamers will still have 70/30 up to 100k then after $100k is made it'll go to a 50/50 split
They have to break every contract to do a 50/50 split I mean not a single person in their right mind would break a contract that says they're getting paid 70/30 and go to a 50/50 split it breaks the terms and service of the contract which makes the contract none and void in a state of law
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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!
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 🙏🏾
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. And yes for sure, those are definitely bowling alley lights lol.
ปีที่แล้ว
Something you said before that would bring twitch donation culture to yt. Just add a free membership with youtube premium. Without increasing the price tho.
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?
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 seen someone do the 500 buck membership tier as a joke. the issue was, it was an agency vtuber and you NEVER bait agency vtuber fans that way, they will call your bluff. I believe they called the tier "glucose guardian"
Great video I think TH-cam is the present and the future, this platform is adapting to any changes to the way the new generation it’s consuming the media. Keep up bother much love 🤙🏼🔥

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!
thanks alot. for a dad to understand how to guide his son!
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.

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.

1:31 I really love your content bro it makes my day better
One thing you forgot to mention with the twitch sub split. The top streamers will still have 70/30 up to 100k then after $100k is made it'll go to a 50/50 split
Only people that already had 70/30. So for someone trying to get into content creation this information isn't applicable.
This is for people who were already in the 70/30 system it’s called being “grandfathered in”
Partners will still receive 70/30 tier 3’s, this was only regarding premium contract tier 1 splits. Not standard partner contracts
They have to break every contract to do a 50/50 split I mean not a single person in their right mind would break a contract that says they're getting paid 70/30 and go to a 50/50 split it breaks the terms and service of the contract which makes the contract none and void in a state of law
We'll see how long that lasts...
I like your Herman Miller chair. Nice work
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.
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!
You are so good at your craft Harris .. Sooo good
Im planning on putting in my 3-4 week notice to my 12hr job. And this is what im looking up lol
3:19 WHAT
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.
That's bananas! Of all the changes TH-cam is making, I hope bringing monetization to your area will be one of them 🙏
i love Bai as well. coconut ususally but sometimes pineapple coconut
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.
Nice video about lighting, it's kinda ruined by the money talks tho
Watching these videos give me inspiration and drive to try and make content that people will enjoy ❤
Thanks! I haven’t streamed in over a year, life happens, but I still use Stream Beats for relaxing and college.
I actually recently purchased Matti’s Sony LUT pack and I freaking love it!!
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!!
Stream beats is what I’m using to start my channel working on my first videos now hopefully it’ll turn out good
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!
When I say as a content creator I really needed this video!
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!
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?
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.
And yes for sure, those are definitely bowling alley lights lol.
Something you said before that would bring twitch donation culture to yt. Just add a free membership with youtube premium. Without increasing the price tho.
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?
Thanks for the good insight Harris!
Hey dude, What are the avenues of doors we need to get through to get sponsorships? Or do they just land on your door one day? 😕
The majority of streamers getting upset about the 70/30 split going away don't even get it, nor will they ever be big enough to qualify for it...
As always, top tier content and info
really helpful...as always...happy streaming
the business side of TH-cam is always so interesting to hear about, love these types of videos 💜
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 seen someone do the 500 buck membership tier as a joke. the issue was, it was an agency vtuber and you NEVER bait agency vtuber fans that way, they will call your bluff. I believe they called the tier "glucose guardian"
Digital online courses. I am looking forward to that
video couldnt have come at a better time. great stuff as always
Great video I think TH-cam is the present and the future, this platform is adapting to any changes to the way the new generation it’s consuming the media. Keep up bother much love 🤙🏼🔥
0:23 As an employee of a bowling alley, I think you're right.. but, yours are WAAAYYY nicer
1:42 This is why you're my favorite youtuber lol
