@@Wild4 I did the Lurk call outs way back in my humble beginnings. Great advice as usual in your video tutorials for new Streamers! You could have mentioned in your Spam advice to also refrain from self promoing yourself on someone elses twitch channel. It's as popular as commenting with your TH-cam channel link in the TH-cam comments of an already popular channel. Don't be that guy, be better and show honest interest. I am babbling again, so I will stop now.
Been streaming pretty consistently for a good 3 weeks now. I got my affiliate a few days ago! Gained 70+ followers in a week and I am at 3 subs. Things are going really well for me thank you for these videos!
ItsTwinsy it’s been a year so how is your channel doing so far? If you still stream do you have any tips to help cuz I started today and got my first 6 views
So life happens I havent been able to be consistent in a while but when I was i just really focused on viewer interaction. If you can find creative things to do with your viewers whether its in game stuff or just trivia anything that they can be involved in typically leads to them wanting to come back/follow sub all the good stuff. I climbed to 40 subs in a month sadly lost it all but if you stay with it if you have the capability to do so you can build a brand and an awesome community. I'd say do giveaways too but don't make that the focus if that's not what you want your brand to focus on because people would expect that everytime.
My first tip for new streamers is don’t expect to be the next big thing immediately. For every one huge streamer you can name, there are THOUSANDS of streamers who don’t make it. You must love streaming for the journey not the destination.
How do we stream music in our twitch channels? How to have songs requested... how not to make it anoying for and viewers? Thanks my friend, you really do help me a lot!
I followed the last tip unintentionally and ended up with 20 followers before I even launched my first stream, just by networking and socializing in other chats. I ended up making affiliate in my first 30 days as a result and jumped from 1-2 viewers to 7-9 per stream, and I average 2 streams a week. It also helps to set up a discord server to complement your stream so your followers can have somewhere to chat with you outside of the streaming platform. This lets them get to know you more in a relaxed setting, and you can become familiar with your regular viewers. It also helps to have a place where they can post links or pictures of information or gameplay that won't appear during stream chat. Another tip would be to never be afraid of branching out to different genres of games to include some of the more mainstream game titles as you grow, but have it posted somewhere that you play those games so people who come in expecting one game don't immediately get upset when they see you playing something else entirely.
Ok so listen the last one is accurate, ive been wanting to start streaming for 4 years now and I'll hopefully start working on it soon! So by the time i will stream i have already made friends and left an impact on people who are willing to support me when i start, i know it will be a long hard way- especially for a kid so im glad i didn't start at 15, most of these were quite obvious to me from the get go....i mean even if i had 7 days a week to stream, do remember yall that mental health and personal life comes first (honestly ill get too stressed, trying to stream everyday while going to uni AND trying to fit friends, family and personal life in the schedule), im going to thank you so much wild4games as i been watching manyyyyy videos trying to be as prepared as i can! Ill save this vid to my playlist! I have many questions but luckily they are equipment related which i can always ask a professional when it comes to it, thank you so much for this video and i hope to start streaming easy and well prepared!
Been streaming a lot of Yu-gi-oh Duel Links on my twitch the last week now and right now my days off are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Seems like a good schedule that works for me and I average around 5-7 viewers on the 2 hours i spend streaming. Still got plenty to learn for growing my stream but I definitely appreciate all your videos 😁
I've been skeptical of streaming for a few years now but your videos encouraged me to start. I did my first stream tonight after setting up a few panels, nothing fancy, and streamlabs. I played with my friend and i had a peak of 6 viewers at one point. I even went out afterwards and hired a graphic artist on fiverr after the stream. Thank you, subbed
Getting back into streaming art tonight after a long brake due to school watched your videos in the beginning and just watching them again as a reminder. thank you for your dope videos Wild!
omg u are sooooooo right while i was streaming i had 0 viewers when i went to others twitch playing the same game i started talking and met a lot of super cool people that followed me!! your tips are soooooooo great
I'm a new twitch streamer and your videos have been helping alot my dude!!! Thanks a million. I have been watching other small streamers before an after my streams and have gained friends in the Apex Legends community quickly!
I love this video so much. I made at least 1 of these mistakes on my first proper stream (didn't update category). It's nice having a video on the simple things that are easy to make mistakes with
Recently I had a few people say hey I’ve been watching for a little now just never talked but really enjoy your stream. It amazes me. Sometimes I’ll have 20 viewers and 2 people talking lol
You have some of the best and easiest to digest tips out there man. I’m taking notes. I’m about a week and a half into streaming, and every time I learn something I learn that there’s ten things behind it I didn’t know if either need to get, or need to know. So any information like this is very helpful. It also inspires me to pay it forward. Thanks for being you.
Wild, wow. As a brand new streamer, your videos have helped me greatly. I'm at 34/50 followers for my Affiliate goal whilst also meeting the other criteria in advance. However, for me, that's a subsidiary requirement at the moment. Right now I just want to share what I love with people from around the world and make new friends who are doing the same thing. Engagement is the most important thing and is paramount to growth and fostering a great community. I just wanted to touch on your engagement being stellar, as I'm pretty sure I've seen you reply to almost every comment on each of your TH-cam videos, encouraging us little guys to keep up the good work and power on! You have a heap of subs and it must be very busy day-to-day, but the little interactions are what drive our enthusiasm for turning our passion into something more. A bit long-winded, but credit where it's due and know that I appreciate you and your content!
On being in the correct category, if you're streaming from PS4, there is a good chance you will be knocked out of your category if there is a discrepancy between what twitch and playstation call a game, so you will need to set it again after you go live. Examples - Hellblade vs Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Until Dawn vs Until Dawn(tm), Detroit: Become Human vs Detroit: Become Human(tm), Jettomero vs Jettomero: Hero of the Universe, Horizon Zero Dawn vs Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition... Can you tell this happens a lot? So just check over your settings and tags again a few minutes after going live.
It's not the first video of yours that I watch, but I wanted to leave a message. I'm loving all the tips you gave. It's nice to watch your videos 'cause I can understand you well even if English is not my first language and you're like a teacher in the way you explain things. Really great! I'm following you on TH-cam but I might watch your streamings too, 'cause it might help me stream better (I'm super noob). Thank you so much for your videos and I hope to see many mores!
The tip about being careful how you reach out to people on social media and not just tagging a large streamer you don’t know is really good! I’ve never heard anyone mention that before, but not everyone would figure that out on their own.
Thankfully, I didn't have any of these bad habits when I first started streaming but these are the best hints for newbie streamers, even some people that have been streaming for awhile could use a head's up from your advice. The singing part, yeah, I ran across a handful of people that were not only using junkie equipment but they were tone deaf, to boot.
This was much needed❤️ I literally just started on twitch today! I’m glad I watched this vid because I most definitely was going to stress over the amount of followers I don’t have! Thank you 🙏 I feel more confident now
I think I need to work on not streaming every day, and checking out other people. My Focus is Smite, but I play a bunch of other stuff so maybe I just don't stream other games unless I do it for the right reason. You have given me some thoughts to work out. Oh, great video as always man.
Hi Wild4Games, I have a bit of a bigger question for you. I have a friend who was pretty successful on twitch before he quit. But ultimately he quit because he was making way to many sacrifices in life for his stream, and was having health-related issues and starting failing his classes. He was averaging about 40 viewers a stream, but was growing very quickly. The last time we talked about how he got success on twitch, he said he got it from making those sacrifices. He is saying you can't have success without making major sacrifices on your time. What do you think? It's not that his advice is wrong, he usually gives advice about networking, being enthusiastic, playing what you love, etc. All good things. But I refuse to believe that I need to go to the point of having heart attacks, no sleep every night, and failing school to get success. What do you think? Thanks :)
You can work Harder or you can work smarter OR you can do both.... Sounds like you friend only worked harder.... Some will have to sacrifice things at times to grow... but growth is not worth altering your life and health... Be smart about the choices you make to grow 💪
As always thanks for the tips dude! I was chatting with another streamer about airing reruns the other day. If you havent done a video on this I think it would be a great one. Much love brochacho xD
Honestly this is probably the best starting streaming advice video I’ve ever seen I’ve been streaming for almost a year now and I can personally relate to almost each and everyone of these issues will definitely be sharing this video to any of my friends that need advice for streaming
that "don`t sing"-tip is really gold!! i`m really hyped if someone follows me, so i have to sing - but NOW i try to control myself :P :P Thanks mate! Really appreciate what you`re doing for us small streamers
I see streamers with 1,000+ followers and only like 10 viewers, I only have 235 followers and can get a consistend 6-17 viewers per stream, is that normal?
@@Wild4 Shit now here I am with 5.5k and averaging 100 viewers. Stay consistent y'all, trust me it's worth it. (I randomly found my comment 2 years later lmao)
I think I need some advice, as games I love to play are somehow rare (retro, indie, or AAA few years old). Also, schedule: how do I know when it's best to stream?
Always a good question which I get asked all the time - I will be doing an updated video on this subject - Be here is decent answer to get you going ( th-cam.com/video/EjHwXDWEqlU/w-d-xo.html ) 💪
I’m guilty of doing some of these. But I’ve learned since then. And this is my 3rd channel and I’m starting fresh. And I only get time to stream on the weekends if I’m lucky
Hey man another awesome vid. I've been working on growing as a streamer and I've been pretty much going every day I can but I definitely agree with the don't stream every day. It doesn't seem to help much so I've been looking at picking guaranteed days for streaming each week. It's definitely helped going out and meeting other streamers that are a little bigger than me
Yes yes yes to the one about not calling out lurkers! Some people are shy or introverted and it will take them a bit longer than others, maybe a few more streams than others to finally type something in chat! (I'm def one of those) I was watching a streamer who started going down through her list of viewers and naming out the lurkers and I instantly left lol
Pretty good tips, my man. I appreciate everything you do with these videos. I stream a variety of games. Right now, I've been playing Fallout New Vegas and doing LONG streams of it. Of course, I do play Pokemon games too. I am totally guilty of calling out lurkers... I probably should stop that eh? Well, I will learn that if people want to interact with me, I will accept that.
Thanks so much for all you do. Just started streaming last week. Been watching all your videos really been helpful. Thanks for mentioning fiverr was looking for someone to design some overlays and panels wow amazing artist
Yeah, about playing music. I usually just have my Nightbot's song request tab open. BUT, how do I lower it's volume for me without lowering it's volume for the stream? Can I even have two separate volume sliders for it? So I can actually hear myself think but at the same time the music isn't too quiet for the viewers?
What you can do is use your volume itself, and if the nightbot and the stream are making noise, then you can go on your volume, right click, go on Volume Mixer and there you go. So you can turn up the music for them, but keep your stream going to your headset.
Thank you for all your videos and advice! They've helped me so much as I start my streaming journey- they give me confidence as well as a knowledge of what I need to study up on for growth!
I'm only two weeks in and this is all great. I have about 20 followers and I get a few lurkers and I've only made two of these mistakes but they don't seem to stick around. I think my biggest worry is starting all the new social media's, but not knowing what to say or how to branch out. Thanks for the tips though!
I have a question. You brought up a valid point, "spam tags message" I was thinking of shouting you out on my twitch or Twitter because your videos really have shaped me into the twitch player that I am and was wondering if that's along the lines of "scaring" big names off. I get compliments on my page on how much better it looks and tbh, it's because of your videos and my own art. I just want to give credit where it's due. Lost message short... Can I shout you out? 😅😅
Ha ha ha - I am not big, I am just your normal scrub with above average hair 💪 - You can shout me out, completely fine, in fact I appreciate it. It just gets over welling and annoying when a group text or message goes out and its nothing but SPAM with tons of people attached. Example: when people group tweet out for "Follower Friday"
Wild4Games I feel that. The chain mail days are dead. Also you're bigger than me and more successful at this point so I look up to you in that way. I'll drop in your streams more often. Maybe get some more tips. Ps. I'm dying at the hair comment. 🤣🤣
I just made a Twitch account and my first ever stream was on January 1st and on January 9th I became an affiliate and I already have 3 really fun emotes for subscribers that are currently pending! I have never streamed before this so I'm brand new and I love it! Love your videos! Super helpful!
As a new streamer I've found that building a comunity with other streamers helps a lot. I average maybe 2 or 3 viewers a stream if I'm lucky. But thanks to that comunity I have built I had one of the guys raid me with 19 people. Most of them stuck around too until i passed the raid onto another guy from our comunity
The things I’ve learned, and taken away from your videos have only helped me! I’d like to get a big push in this first quarter of 2019. Affiliated within the next 30 days. Then a raid/host from a larger streamer!
As a pro gamer I have noticed that people come to my stream to watch quality gameplay and maybe learn how to get better them self so for me when I have lurkers watching and nothing much to say I try to talk about my gameplay and my thoughts on what my next move is gonna be, figured this might help some of you guys! :) thanks for the great video Wild!
If anyone is doubtful about if streaming every day is going to hurt your numbers, I ran the experiment and it's true. I streamed 29 days in December for a number of reasons, but I knew going into it that was going to hurt my numbers. November had 10 average viewers, December had 7 and also fewer subs. Just so far in January, back on a reasonable schedule, I'm already back to an average of 9 viewers.
Another tip is to check and double check all your tech and audio is working properly with a test stream or recording before you go live. I forget this all the time, but for some reason tech likes to stop working as soon as you want to stream. It makes for a bad viewer experience when you are just fixing tech or audio issues for the first 15 min.
Ha ha ha - your not a true streamer until you run into problems he he he - Yeah checking and double checking is always a good tip for streamers and just life in general 💪
In 3 months I went from 0 followers to 18. Someone trolled me with a donation . I was like wtf. I switched from league of legends to roblox and it really helped. You are amazing !!!
Great video! There’s just one thing I disagree with and that’s the not streaming daily. I’m sure it’s different for every person, but I stream everyday after work for 3-4 hours and it’s worked out really well for me. I feel the less you stream the less Opportunity you have to bring in a viewer. Anyways love the videos!
I was streaming and I thought i got my first donation then i found out it was fake, it was the worst feeling i’ve ever had,it felt so terrible. so DONT GET TROLLED
As someone who is still playing with the idea of streaming, I don't see an issue with starting with a big AAA game. However I also understand that the major channels will already be saturating the market with them. I personally think it would be better to stream something you enjoy than a game you couldn't care less about just for views. I have watched people and you can tell if they are enjoying the game for the most part. If you are not enjoying the experience then it's likely potential viewer are not as well. Can't say this is 100% true for everyone however. I hope I got point across in a way that's easily understood.
The good thing for me is that i know i can't sing so i don't even bother trying, but thanks for tips dude, really helping me get my youtube and twitch channels going 👍
I would love a Video on how to engage and connect with other streamers, especially since self promotion is kinda a no go. So i always end up beeing unsure if i should mention that im streaming or if it will come across as self promotion. When is a good situation to mention it?
Wait, so not only did your review on the ice mic led me to buy a mic and do my first stream ever today, you even have tips like this? Im glad I subbed!

What are basic and common mistakes that you see new streamers make?
Be sure to check out the show notes for more helping videos and links!
They just launch their first stream without working on overlays l schedule and panels.
My buddy asks who is that viewing even though you are not supposed to call out lurkers
Always a Classic mistake 💪

But I refuse to believe that I need to go to the point of having heart attacks, no sleep every night, and failing school to get success. What do you think?
Thanks :)
You can work Harder or you can work smarter OR you can do both.... Sounds like you friend only worked harder.... Some will have to sacrifice things at times to grow... but growth is not worth altering your life and health... Be smart about the choices you make to grow 💪
As always thanks for the tips dude! I was chatting with another streamer about airing reruns the other day. If you havent done a video on this I think it would be a great one. Much love brochacho xD
I will add it to the notes of to-do videos 💪
I have been streaming for 3 days and already got raided and hosted , 7 viewers from there and already 8 followers , 👍👍👍doing good soo far
Dude that is awesome good job
Honestly this is probably the best starting streaming advice video I’ve ever seen I’ve been streaming for almost a year now and I can personally relate to almost each and everyone of these issues will definitely be sharing this video to any of my friends that need advice for streaming
Thanks for watching and I am glad I could give ya a little refresher he he he 💪
I think I got lucky because I started streaming last week and I have 43 followers
Get that growth going buddy 💪
Noice
Congrats man, been streaming for 4months and am at 39 lol! I’m so grateful for my 39 though!
I streamed for 3 hours & got 1 follower 😂😂 at least I got something from my first stream.
Streamed 9 hours today and 5 yesterday 21 followers and really happy where I’m at
that "don`t sing"-tip is really gold!! i`m really hyped if someone follows me, so i have to sing - but NOW i try to control myself :P :P Thanks mate!
Really appreciate what you`re doing for us small streamers
I am in the same boat ha ha ha 💪
I see streamers with 1,000+ followers and only like 10 viewers, I only have 235 followers and can get a consistend 6-17 viewers per stream, is that normal?
Different streamers grow at different rates - I wouldnt worry about others only yourself 💪
@@Wild4 Ohh ok, thanks man :)
I follow a channel that has 7k and averages 30 viewers its weird
@@Wild4 Shit now here I am with 5.5k and averaging 100 viewers. Stay consistent y'all, trust me it's worth it. (I randomly found my comment 2 years later lmao)
this man has helped me soo much every other person i watch that sais tips are trash and say things i already know. but he is just at the next level.
I think I need some advice, as games I love to play are somehow rare (retro, indie, or AAA few years old). Also, schedule: how do I know when it's best to stream?
Always a good question which I get asked all the time - I will be doing an updated video on this subject - Be here is decent answer to get you going ( th-cam.com/video/EjHwXDWEqlU/w-d-xo.html ) 💪
This site might be helpful for you! twitchstrike.com/ You can see which games are popular for that time and you can plan your stream accordingly :)
Your videos have been more helpful for me than most of the other videos for understanding twitch mistakes etc thanks man.
I am glad that I can help you out 💪
I’m guilty of doing some of these. But I’ve learned since then. And this is my 3rd channel and I’m starting fresh. And I only get time to stream on the weekends if I’m lucky
Good Luck on your new streaming journey 💪
RedChronoEye _ hey I stream on twitch and I’m trying to get to 100 followers can you follow me my username is LD1AZ53
Hey man another awesome vid. I've been working on growing as a streamer and I've been pretty much going every day I can but I definitely agree with the don't stream every day. It doesn't seem to help much so I've been looking at picking guaranteed days for streaming each week. It's definitely helped going out and meeting other streamers that are a little bigger than me
Glad that you are making the changes - It will help you a lot 💪
Thank you so much for this video! I am about to stream soon, and I'll take your advise to heart!
I am sure it will help 💪
@@Wild4 and keep up the great work!
Nice Video, I do like to thank my lurkers during my outro, that also helps.
Thanks for watching buddy 💪
Is it considered a streamer mistake if I’m not constantly playing/pausing a game, because I’m using a guide behind the scenes?
If it doesn't disrupt the flow of your stream, its OK to do.
Yes yes yes to the one about not calling out lurkers! Some people are shy or introverted and it will take them a bit longer than others, maybe a few more streams than others to finally type something in chat! (I'm def one of those) I was watching a streamer who started going down through her list of viewers and naming out the lurkers and I instantly left lol
Ha ha ha - So true, let lurkers come out when they feel comfortable 💪
Pretty good tips, my man. I appreciate everything you do with these videos. I stream a variety of games. Right now, I've been playing Fallout New Vegas and doing LONG streams of it. Of course, I do play Pokemon games too. I am totally guilty of calling out lurkers... I probably should stop that eh? Well, I will learn that if people want to interact with me, I will accept that.
I would stop - Let them enjoy the ride in your stream 💪
@@Wild4 definitely going to take that to heart!
@@DaviVoxyXIVsPokemon yeah you shouls stop it bc there are people that never chat on anyones stream. they just like to watch
@@ThaVipaa Thanks!
Thanks so much for all you do. Just started streaming last week. Been watching all your videos really been helpful. Thanks for mentioning fiverr was looking for someone to design some overlays and panels wow amazing artist
By the way any referral code or anything for fiverr? Let me know I'll use it
I am glad that my videos are helping you out 💪
Yeah, about playing music. I usually just have my Nightbot's song request tab open.
BUT, how do I lower it's volume for me without lowering it's volume for the stream? Can I even have two separate volume sliders for it? So I can actually hear myself think but at the same time the music isn't too quiet for the viewers?
I will have bot videos coming out soon - Stay tuned for that 💪
What you can do is use your volume itself, and if the nightbot and the stream are making noise, then you can go on your volume, right click, go on Volume Mixer and there you go. So you can turn up the music for them, but keep your stream going to your headset.
MediArgentum hey I stream on twitch and I’m trying to get to 100 followers can you follow me my username is LD1AZ53
Anyway to play music for console streamers ?
Thank you for all your videos and advice! They've helped me so much as I start my streaming journey- they give me confidence as well as a knowledge of what I need to study up on for growth!
Thnx wild i made the last problem so now i know that i don't need to stream everyday love ya
Glad to help out buddy 💪

Your tips even a year ago helped me get affiliate thank you!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, got some good ideas from this video. You rock man!
Glad that I could help you out buddy 💪
I'm only two weeks in and this is all great. I have about 20 followers and I get a few lurkers and I've only made two of these mistakes but they don't seem to stick around. I think my biggest worry is starting all the new social media's, but not knowing what to say or how to branch out. Thanks for the tips though!
Singing the background music of the game is how I’m weeding out the weak viewers
I hit affiliate on twitch in less than a week! your videos have been helping me alot, thank you :)
Super dope - Way to go buddy 💪
Great Video Wild nice way to start 2019
Thanks buddy - Lets Rock 2019 💪
Loving the videos a lot. New to twitch and feel like you are going to help tremendously! Thank you
I have a question. You brought up a valid point, "spam tags message" I was thinking of shouting you out on my twitch or Twitter because your videos really have shaped me into the twitch player that I am and was wondering if that's along the lines of "scaring" big names off. I get compliments on my page on how much better it looks and tbh, it's because of your videos and my own art. I just want to give credit where it's due. Lost message short... Can I shout you out? 😅😅
Ha ha ha - I am not big, I am just your normal scrub with above average hair 💪 - You can shout me out, completely fine, in fact I appreciate it. It just gets over welling and annoying when a group text or message goes out and its nothing but SPAM with tons of people attached. Example: when people group tweet out for "Follower Friday"
Wild4Games I feel that. The chain mail days are dead. Also you're bigger than me and more successful at this point so I look up to you in that way. I'll drop in your streams more often. Maybe get some more tips. Ps. I'm dying at the hair comment. 🤣🤣
Oh God Chain Mail ha ha ha I haven't heard that term in forever. Cant wait to see ya 💪

I just made a Twitch account and my first ever stream was on January 1st and on January 9th I became an affiliate and I already have 3 really fun emotes for subscribers that are currently pending! I have never streamed before this so I'm brand new and I love it! Love your videos! Super helpful!
That is awesome - congrats on your success. I am stoke that my videos are helping you out 💪
Pls make a video for how to have music in a stream. That’s something I’d like to add to my streams
I will add it to the list 💪
Love how straight to the point you are! This video was so helpful, thank you!
Thanks - I am glad I can help 💪
please make a video for streaming music in background it would help so much
I will add it to the list 💪
Wild4Games thank you
AJisToxic hey I stream on twitch and I’m trying to get to 100 followers can you follow me my username is LD1AZ53
As a new streamer I've found that building a comunity with other streamers helps a lot. I average maybe 2 or 3 viewers a stream if I'm lucky. But thanks to that comunity I have built I had one of the guys raid me with 19 people. Most of them stuck around too until i passed the raid onto another guy from our comunity
Yes working/watching others is one of the best ways to grow your community for sure 💪
I use to stream and gained 30 followers over the course of 6 months
But I started back this week and grinded and now have 112 followers
Keep it up, Wild. I’m a big fan of your how to/tips and tricks videos.
Thanks buddy - Always glad to help 💪
The things I’ve learned, and taken away from your videos have only helped me!
I’d like to get a big push in this first quarter of 2019.
Affiliated within the next 30 days.
Then a raid/host from a larger streamer!
Handsome, golden voice, great gameplay - I'll be fine
he he he - Handle it 💪
Awesome video! I was already making a couple of those mistakes. Liked and Subscribed!
Glad to help & Thanks for the Sub Love 💪
Ur advice helped so much i just hit affiliate this morning i got the email
DUDE - That is super awesome - way to go buddy 💪
As a pro gamer I have noticed that people come to my stream to watch quality gameplay and maybe learn how to get better them self so for me when I have lurkers watching and nothing much to say I try to talk about my gameplay and my thoughts on what my next move is gonna be, figured this might help some of you guys! :) thanks for the great video Wild!
Glad that my video could help you out buddy 💪
how do i link my paypal account to my twitch to be able to receive donations? How and where do i set this up?
Watch my paypal video for your answer
Thank you, you're definitely making my aspirations to become a streamer I would enjoy to follow. I appreciate what you are doing! Thank you again!!
Glad I get the chance to help you out - Happy Streaming 💪
What is facebook gaming? WutFace and btw I love your facial hair.
Its Facebook's Streaming service 💪
Just started and it’s something i’ve been wanting to do for a long time but always cared way to much what people think.
Make a video how to make an alert for donations
I will add it to the list 💪
If anyone is doubtful about if streaming every day is going to hurt your numbers, I ran the experiment and it's true. I streamed 29 days in December for a number of reasons, but I knew going into it that was going to hurt my numbers. November had 10 average viewers, December had 7 and also fewer subs. Just so far in January, back on a reasonable schedule, I'm already back to an average of 9 viewers.
Glad to see that the advice is working out for ya 💪
Morgan Elliott hey I stream on twitch and I’m trying to get to 100 followers can you follow me my username is LD1AZ53
I started streaming twitch on my Xbox1 S but I don’t know how to play the music through my stream can you help?
I will have to make a video on this type of subject 💪
Another tip is to check and double check all your tech and audio is working properly with a test stream or recording before you go live. I forget this all the time, but for some reason tech likes to stop working as soon as you want to stream. It makes for a bad viewer experience when you are just fixing tech or audio issues for the first 15 min.
Ha ha ha - your not a true streamer until you run into problems he he he - Yeah checking and double checking is always a good tip for streamers and just life in general 💪
Show me how to play music in my stream
I will add it to the list 💪
Vegan Assassin hey I stream on twitch and I’m trying to get to 100 followers can you follow me my username is LD1AZ53
I was wondering that too~
In 3 months I went from 0 followers to 18. Someone trolled me with a donation . I was like wtf. I switched from league of legends to roblox and it really helped. You are amazing !!!
Glad to help you out 💪
Remember ur omlet arcade video well I have 1.2k followers thank u so much
That is awesome - congrats on your growth buddy 💪
Can u help me 🥺
Great video! There’s just one thing I disagree with and that’s the not streaming daily. I’m sure it’s different for every person, but I stream everyday after work for 3-4 hours and it’s worked out really well for me. I feel the less you stream the less Opportunity you have to bring in a viewer. Anyways love the videos!
If it is working for ya then for sure stick with it buddy 💪
Hi can you make another sponsorship video maybe?
Which Sponsor would you like to see 💪
Wild4Games Any sponsor
so i'm a brand new to the whole streaming and was wondering what is the easiest way to fully setup twitch with night bot and all?
I was streaming and I thought i got my first donation then i found out it was fake, it was the worst feeling i’ve ever had,it felt so terrible. so DONT GET TROLLED
Always good to double check your donos :)
How do people do that?:
I sing while playing Pokemon and it's what has most my regulars coming back and even new comers stick around for it
Just subbed
Thanks for the Sub Love 💪

As someone who is still playing with the idea of streaming, I don't see an issue with starting with a big AAA game. However I also understand that the major channels will already be saturating the market with them. I personally think it would be better to stream something you enjoy than a game you couldn't care less about just for views. I have watched people and you can tell if they are enjoying the game for the most part. If you are not enjoying the experience then it's likely potential viewer are not as well. Can't say this is 100% true for everyone however. I hope I got point across in a way that's easily understood.
Can you do a bot tutorial
Already in the works 💪
The good thing for me is that i know i can't sing so i don't even bother trying, but thanks for tips dude, really helping me get my youtube and twitch channels going 👍
I am glad that I can help you out 💪
Do the music video pleaseeee
I will add it to the list 💪
Agree 100% that non streaming networking grows your channel fastet than grinding out streams
It Does help a lot :)
You know what I like about you? You answer to your comments.
I try my best - there are some many some days ha ha ha 💪
Thanks
I would love a Video on how to engage and connect with other streamers, especially since self promotion is kinda a no go. So i always end up beeing unsure if i should mention that im streaming or if it will come across as self promotion. When is a good situation to mention it?
I will see what I can do to make a video to help us all out in this aspect 💪
@@Wild4 that would bei amazing, thank you very much!! :)
TH-cam tips?
I plan on doing some - Stay tuned my friend 💪
I will indeed very nice tips you have there keep up the work :)
Thanks for the heart btw

So for the music, does it matter if you’re streaming through music outside of a game or in game music
I would stream in game music. With DMCA outside of the game music might be risky.
Wait, so not only did your review on the ice mic led me to buy a mic and do my first stream ever today, you even have tips like this? Im glad I subbed!
I am the best buddy :)
How did you stream go?
I used this video, now I have got streamlabs set up and a promising future
