How Twitch Affiliate STOPS You From Growing!

Показать описание
Small Streamers and New YouTubers, aka you, hold yourselves back by focusing on the absolute worst and dumbest parts of creating content!

I am not exaggerating at all when I say that if most of you watching this stopped focusing on things like Affiliate, Twitch Partner, and average viewership, you’d actually start growing properly!

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.

I started streaming with the goal of hitting affiliate, and I finally hit it yesterday after 33 days. This channel was a big help. Thanks Eljay! Now that my goal's complete, I'll just focus on having fun while streaming. I never intended to grow huge when I began.

I have found that as long as there is one person in the chat that you can chat to, nothing else matters! It makes streaming more fun when you have at least 1 person to interact with!

IAmATwitchNoob on twitch btw ;) I stream Splatoon 3!

I’m thankful to have found this channel when I did. Eljay, your advice has helped me more than you know. I realized only a few weeks ago that focusing on numbers doesn’t help but when I focus on having a good time and playing fun games then I seem to get more people clicking on or stopping in on my streams.

I am a simple streamer. All I want to do is have fun playing games and chatting to people. I didnt always have that mindset. When I first started, I will admit I was one of those people who had a goal of affiliate. I was lucky I got it pretty quickly. After that, I had a bit of a low energy phase of "why am I doing this, I'm not growing anymore". When I thought about it deeply, I knew streaming was never about the money for me, but to have fun and chat with my community. When I focused on that, I started to grow! I am still a small streamer, but I am so lucky I have regulars, people who chat in my streams, and have fun with me. To me that's all that matters :)

Best advice I ever received when it comes to streaming/youtube content is to do what you love, not to hit some vanity goal. If you grind so hard that you hate what you are doing any viewers will pick up on it! Thanks Eljay for the video.

eljay I just want to say your videos have helped me grow SO MUCH as a streamer! I started with literally no audience and in just a month I've hit affiliate and averaged 7-10 viewers! And best of all, I've really improved the content on my stream and my twitch page while having so much fun with your help. Tysm!

Great advice as always! What would you think about making a video on ways to improve one’s physical and mental health to optimize their streams? Maybe some tricks and routines that help you out? It’s kind of similar to your talks on confidence and motivation.

I only reached affiliate because when I was getting into streaming a friend of my buddy raided me and got me to affiliate. However, every single person from that raid never came back. That’s when I realized I need to focus on a healthy streaming goal rather than just being an affiliate streaming aiming for partner.

Gotta love the unintended cameo at 1:45! Love the content my dude!

Been an Affiliate for over a year and getting Partner seems like a pipedream. However, streaming's fun and I'm learning all the time. Thank you for all the video advice you've dropped for the past few years, they've been a huge help!

This touches on the thing that's always bugged me about Twitch and the culture surrounding it: people act so desperate. Desperate for viewers, desperate for followers, desperate for subs, desperate to make affiliate, desperate to make partner, desperate for bits and donations, etc. It's one big frantic hustle where many act like they'll literally drop dead if they don't reach their goals within a set time. This is often reflected within the streams themselves where the thirsty desperation of the streamer is palpable.

Eljay as always with the great advice. Hitting affiliate changes nothing if you "hacked" your way to it. If you have zero viewers to begin with then theres still zero people there to donate bits or interact with widgets or whatever you add to your stream. Make a stream you enjoy and stream because you enjoy it. If you are just streaming to make money you will burn out when that money doesn't come flooding in like you hope.

I know a lot of people who quit playing their instrument when they graduated from a conservatorium (uni for musicians.) I think it's a similar thing. The goal is motivating and once it's gone, you're kinda left out in the cold. You either create your own goals or do something else.

For me, the goal of Twitch has always been to help me stay motivated to practice, and to get solo repertoire together. I started with only having written 3 or 4 full arrangements and I'm at nearly 40 now.

I feel better about turning down "exposure" gigs now because I know I can perform on stream without having to leave my house.

Your channel is great and your content has so much value! I started watching it way before I started streaming and when I finally did it I had so many of the things I learned from here in the back of my mind! I hit affiliate in 5 days (of course, not counting the actual 7 days) and in two weeks I have an average of 15 viewers! Thank you so much!!!

I just started and wanted to thank u for all the mindful tips. I turned of my viewer count form the get go and am super happy with streams that are very interactive wit the chat rather then watching the numbers. The fun part is always visible not only to you but the viewers

Daft as it sounds, as soon as I stopped caring about growth and started being myself, that's when I started getting regular viewers. I think viewers can smell a streamer desperate for viewers a mile off.

This video has a lot excellent info - discoverable, good, content is the primary thing everyone should be concerned with... watching those numbers can just get depressing and take your content down a notch.
