How To Grow On Twitch?

If you want to grow your Twitch stream, it is important to be critical. Being critical isn’t a bad thing, people say, “Oh don’t be so critical of yourself!”.

But there are a lot of things you can control and improve, such as your visuals, audio, and most importantly your content that you’re creating. Watch back your VoD and be honest with yourself, is it up to scratch. Does your mic sound good? Are you engaging? Is it easy to watch and enjoy or is there something that is off-putting? Be honest, push yourself to grow, and become a better entertainer!

Because at the end of the day, the only way you are going to grow your stream is by growing yourself and being critical in a positive way.

What Bitrate And Settings Should I Use For Streaming?

The easiest way to understand bitrate is by calling what it actually is, your upload speed to the Twitch servers.

Now you’ll need a higher bitrate depending on how high quality you want your stream to be, this means 1080p 60 frames per second will need a bitrate of 6000, which roughly equals 6megabits upload speed on your end being taken up

By lowering your resolution and framerate, you can make it a lot easier to stream, for example, if you set your base canvas size to 1920x1080, but change your output to 1280x720 otherwise known as 720p you drop down to only needing a bitrate of 4500 or 4.5megabits.

If you still want 1080, you can even just lower your framerate from 60fps to 30fps and then adjust to 4500bitrate.

The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.

Hey #NotificationSquad! Sorry for the inconsistency over the past few months, I've had a lot going on, but thanks for sticking with me! I figured the best way to return focused was to cover some of the less technical but crucial streaming mistakes we all make! And of course share some personal experiences that helped me break those bad habits! What mistakes have you made?

[Grromasz]

Number one mistake that personally puts me off is not finishing games. I don't mind if the streamer says "Yeah, not a game for me, won't play it again" and plays something else. But when each stream in a week is a different game, and they promise they will finish those games "sometime in the future" I gradually lose interest and in the end stop caring and go somewhere else.

[jonofthedawnn]

One of the mistakes I've dealt with is a mental one.
When you're constantly worried that you as a person are boring and no one wants to watch you.
Your mentality and believed reality will affect the quality of your stream.
Especially if you're new, you're still learning, so don't put the burden of "I'm absolutely terrible" in your mind.
You learn, you grow.
Just believe in yourself and constantly find ways to improve and rewatch your streams and figure what actually can you improve, bit by bit.
It's a learning experience, you must water the grass each day!

Man, thank you, genuinely. I just got off a stream with way less views than I got usually and I felt very bad about it. But watching your video really made me realise; 1. my „usually“ has only been about two months 2. I haven’t done even near as much as I could have done (Ive got a lot planned but only posting on one platform atm) and 3. I actually tried something new today, so it was to be expected
I love this video, it put me right back on my feet, just what I needed 👌🏻

[SpookyDeer]

I feel like the "eh, good enough" issue also needs to be balanced with "ugh, its not ✨PERFECT✨ yet" - one of my biggest mistakes has been sitting on ideas or content too long, polishing and polishing and never uploading or never streaming the fun ideas I have because I'm too worried about refining it until I'm blue in the face. Definitely some learning to be had with knowing when to "let go" and just do it

[gripsed]

I just wanna let you know that I think your videos are awesome brother. I've learned a lot from them over the years and it's great to see the explosive growth you've achieved.
Congrats & thanks for all you do!

[WaRhammYza]

I just want to say thank you for your videos. I have to work a normal job and i started streaming because i love gaming and i enjoyed sharing awesome moments with friends and i learnt to love the interaction when people do come watch and chat. Because of your advice i started doing some TIKTOK and YT shorts, but its hard to find the time with work, and actually wanting to do the thing i love which is the gaming/being live part. I have realized from your videos and experience that the stuff you do outside of being live like TIKTOK/YT is the important part for any growth or sustainability. But its so disheartening to be taken away from the thing i love doing (Gaming and live streaming), and still having to work and earn a living. I guess i just want to say thanks for giving us the advice and tools to at least try make a difference in spite of what we up against. <3

The biggest mistake I see in other streamers are that their streams are to long because they think they have to do a 12h stream because of reasons but they're just having content and fun for 2h.

The biggest mistake I make myself as content creator is a lack of focus.
I changed the content of my channel and streams nearly every day. One day it was a gaming channel and the next day it was an reaction channel only to be a tutorial channel after, I made just chatting streams. Not even my language was consistent one stream/ video was in german and the other one was in english because I thought maybe one thing sticks with viewers and I would focus on that thing but the result was that I had a hundred videos with 0 views.

After finding my type of content (german speaking gaming videos) there was still a huge variety in the types of games what I played and to an extend I'm still making that mistake to this day.

Also a mistake for me at least is playing "boring" games where the game doesn't provide a lot of stuff to talk about and the gameplay itself could be replaced with a Screenshot. Yes a good streamer could probably make a fun stream out of it, but not if you have 0 viewers and started with streaming a week ago, and are desperate for something to talk about. Which is also a thing I did.

Keep up with the great content, Eljay!

[MrNoah]

Ive been a follower for maybe a year or so and i cant tell you how helpfull this channel has been for me. THX

[CharlieDio]

Thanks for the tips! I started watching you're videos two weeks ago & I have already noticed improvement on both my Twitch & m YouTube. My channel is really new so the improvement has had a HUGE impact on my channel!! Thanks again friend!

[theretrobanjo]

Personal mistake I made was rushing to affiliate on twitch and then hitting a wall. The walls name was consistency. My stream was schedule was all over the place and sometimes wouldn’t be available to stream for months at a time due to work. How I’m fixing it? Just make YouTube videos in batches and schedule upload and grow a community there who enjoys the things I enjoy. Also if I have time I can stream there with the people who watched my videos. I feel like not having a stream schedule is more detrimental on twitch than it is YouTube as long as there are scheduled video uploads and shorts for viewers to take in while you are not live. Lastly use YouTubes community tab it’s like twitter but inside YouTube to keep the people in the loop. Thanks for the video eljay!

-cheers

This! I've been creating content for 6 Years and I'm just now feeling comfortable with being myself and my content quality is going up significantly now that I'm just having fun learning instead of comparing myself and my progress to other content creators.

[BrickedUpShann]

My biggest mistake, was not having a niche or a brand for my stream. Ever since i sat down and thought about what i want. my results are way much better now and now my audience understands my goal and purpose which makes them come back a lot more.

[renatawilde]

I’m planning on becoming a vtuber in the future and your advise is helping tons. Thanks so much for the constant educational content :)

[theenoodlegod]

I'm chronically early, love the content man! Appreciate all the work you do for the community

[troglodyte]

Well I will do my first stream tomorrow. And most important for me is to learn how everything works. I am 50 and think learning new skills is never a waste of time sure followers is fun a specially to create more content i will play one game and not even the most popular game but I am not a pro game either so I think it will be fun for me fumbeling around while others find it so easy and obvious but beginning a game at the start and getting good at it is a journey on it's own.

[dkillalegend]

I'm looking for that chat theme you are using for your stream. Where can I find it?! Please tell me!

[noobmaster]

[TranslizTTV]

My entire motivation for streaming is Making new friends so i don't feel as lonely, i recently moved so i lost everyone i had but i needed to move. I also was always an outcast so streaming to even 1 person makes me happy and feel special!
