I haven't streamed in MONTHS due to mental health issues but watching this may have just re lit that spark to want to start again, Thank you as always Dan, You legend!

I love, this,

It's the first time I've seen someone not listing a bunch of things to do to make yourself stand out but rather ways of making yourself comfortable and find yourself and let others come to you.

Over the years I would create content while I was unemployed and between jobs and back then I only managed to do either one.

But coming back and deciding to start streaming on twitch, his point of just do it because it's fun makes sense, it has actually changed my life because I always used to go through the day like it was just another but the past week I'd always get excited to get back from work and just hit that "start stream" that for the first time in years I feel like my burnout is finally leaving and I have more energy 24/7

This totally made me rethink how I approach stream titles. My original approach was trying to be informative and concise, but now I see that instead of telling the viewer what they're in for, I should aim to make the viewer morbidly curious enough to come find out for themselves 😂 Great vid!

I started streaming last week. This made my day. I ACTUALLY feel like I learned something. Thank you

This is a very helpful video! I remember when I first started streaming I had literally only my phone. Was able to finance my first ever computer from people believing in me - they came out of nowhere. Since I could only record and see chat I couldn´t see any numbers, was talking constantly. And since I was insecure that ppl might get bored I desperately tried to make it entertaining. Then I had my first computer. Started with the classic "might as well streaming while i am playing" streams, got inconsistent and stopped. Now I am back and I started trying out making content outside of twitch. My content 100% needs improvement, but I´m already seeing results! Which is something I did not expect. So it´s definetly a great tip! The tip of taking care of myself is actually something I needed to hear rn. I´m def guilty of that currently :D Always trying to create, stream, improve - barely taking breaks

I've got probably $500-$600 in gear that I've accumulated just by being a gamer and musician so it just helps to upgrade small things every now and again. I started streaming around... February I think and just hit 51 followers the other day

This is great advice, especially talking to no one. It might suck at first, but to have that comfort of gaming and talking like there is an audience there before one shows up will help you so much when they do. Meet other streamers in their streams too. IRL and our own content is obviously most important but making time to be part of other communities of similar size or maybe a medium size will help you grow eventually too. I have been discovered simply by hanging out joking with the stream, er which turns into "hey, you stream?" a good clip will pop up"oh wow yeah you stream, I'm going to follow you" I've had it happen so many times. Become part of each others communities and I promise you will see genuine, organic growth. Also try to play other games that are smaller that don't have a viewer base you will get lost in like COD or Apex. Encourage your viewers/mods to clip moments in your stream or go back and clip moments yourself if you remember or did markers throughout stream.

A way to help you "perform" with 0 viewers is to think ahead to the future where your stream is larger. The viewers will probably want to watch old VODs and you can think that it's them you are performing for. Quick Tip :D

All of these tips are really solid. I myself quickly realized streaming wasn’t enough to get where I wanted to be, even though I’m semi well established within my respective community. Making youtube videos, youtube shorts and tik toks from my streams while cutting off a day of the week that i streamed has both helped my mental AND my content game as I’ve pulled viewers and followers from my youtube. Thank you for making this video - even though I am already doing most of the things in this video this helps reassure me that I’m doing things correctly. You’re a great content creator!

[vickiwuolle]

Thanks! I have been getting ready since April and am a bit panicky about talking to myself. Your video is so helpful. I will now check the one about talking to myself.

[Ceej_Boy_]

man this really got to me. thank you man. My issue is that i am a music producer and I really want to be a good artist and i feel like i should stream to grow my music. i am getting depressed because i cant seem to get any cares on my music and i cant seem to get attention how i would like. i just to remind my self i am doing it for my enjouyment and for my own satifacion. i just need to keep doing what i love and dont just focus on views and likes

[SweetPiscess]

I just started Twitch last week and I absolutely love it. I’ve already been doing some of the info you talked about and learn new things as well! I always talk all the time regardless if anybody is viewing or not 😭 and yes, the titles definitely help!! Thank you for the educational info ❤

That "dont get burnt out" fact hit so hard. I started editing content, got discouraged when the time I worked on the vids didn't exactly get the numbers so I streamed to at least get the interaction endorphins going. I grinded hella hard for like 5 or 6 years, doing something everyday with friends and some days had multiple streams a day. Then some mental shenanigans started happening where I questioned myself on what game to stream if I seemingly did everything already. Even with games that I haven't completed yet like Genshin are games I felt are just too repetitive to stream, while others I just wasn't feeling like playing let alone stream me not enjoying the game.

About two months ago I stopped streaming to heal from a surgery, and ngl there have been a few moments where I am watching a video and I get an almost DragonBall style of "power" boost in motivation to get back into content making, it legit feels that way and feels that dorky lol. I just feel like I can do it again since I missed out so much on doing anything. I even started to get an editing resourgance as well with watching Davinci Resolve vids n such.

I almost feel like I am going back around from where I started, having fun editing, streaming to possibly get more clips or just stream a group hangout. Honestly would put a tear in my eye if I wasn't a skeleton...

[Astoundreacts]

This is the honesty I needed to hear, these tips helped me not really stress to much about “grinding” or having the best equipment. I want this to be a fun experience and not a stressful one. So I appreciate your advice.

as someone who edits YT vids i find it very awkward to stream anything because i'm always in the mindset of cutting out parts of me not talking and putting zooms and more. and you're right, i keep pushing it to December then January then February. i keep making excuses. no more :)

[LCowboy]

I have been streaming on twitch for 3 weeks I hit 110 followers today I started at 0.8 average viewers peaking at 3 views and now I’m hitting peaks of 65+ it’s been lit

[NerdThatLifts]

I didn’t realize how many mistakes I was making just starting this streaming thing out, thank you so much for this amazing video. Can’t wait to use these tips and tricks.

[aurracle]

You bring a lot of valid points! Always love to hear this advice to better myself! I only just removed my panel that showed my viewer it always made me anxious with it dropping. ✨☺ I wish all the health and happiness to you all and your streaming journey!

After my mom died in 2017 I started posting comic con videos and my love for comic books on my channel. I went through a bad depression and my kids stay with their moms. so I didn’t really get to see them as much as I wanted to and I was just really going downhill fast, and my YouTube Community actually helped me a lot. But actually being able to talk to people on a daily basis. When I couldn’t even leave my house helped so much.

Now the content I do is just stuff I like to do on a daily basis Weather video games, comic books, cooking videos movie reactions just any and everything I’m into.

Because I look at it as I’m leaving behind memories and not just trying to earn a paycheck. which I haven’t got paid from streaming yet.

But I remember what it was like after my mom passed and I wish I had more videos of her so I can remember what she sounds like. And I thought …if that ever happens to me, my kids will at least have hours upon hours of videos, to sit down and watch of me.

[Ectoinu]

Honestly I needed this. I think I fell into the "content creation spam" hole where I only wanna make content, and tbh after watching this I'm realizing I've missed out on stuff. Thank you!
