I started streaming just because i was like “sure why not”. And 5 months later ive made affiliate, and i can say with certainty its the best hobby ive ever had

STRONGLY agree with hiding view count, been doing it for my entire 2 1/2 year run on twitch. Speaking of volatile, looking at view count has far too many possibilities of altering your mood mid stream. Some say "seeing a higher view count gives me motivation." Sure I'll give you that, but as a content creator you need to distance yourself emotionally from view count as much as possible in order for the experience to be actually enjoyable, and seeing a lower than expected viewer number can make that experience exactly the opposite.

I am streaming since a few weeks now and I was soooo happy when the first viewer started to write in my chat and actually stayed for the whole stream.

The reason i started on twitch is because i got inspired.. and i wanted to have love and have ppl care for me but also make people happy and smile. Give ppl hope and encouragement. And none of mt intent is to get a shit ton of money

"Don't go into a channel and just say you're going live then leave. It tells us nothing about you."

Actually, it tells me lots about you. I definitely don't want to form a relationship with you as you will attempt to use me and my platform to claw your way to the top and make everyone around you feel uncomfortable in the mean time. Good luck in your future endeavors, person I'll never see in my chat again.

Fantastic advice man! Really enjoyed listening to it. Great too see more Irish lads on here 👍🏼

I've been watching these "tips" videos for a while now, probably dozens of them, but this is top-tier advice. Seriously. Especially the "networking" aspect. Really sound (and logical when you think about it) advice. Well done, man!

[ceddy]

I can definately sign the hidden viewer count. when i began streaming, it always felt like i did something wrong when the counter drops even from like 5 to 4 and pressured me when i saw it goes up. So until i found out that you could actually hide the count, i covered the part of my screen that displays it. It is such a relief to not be pressured, especially if you think that like 3-4 are watching and get a notification about an average of 15 after the stream. So i can definately recommend doing that.

I do art as a hobby. Just learned to stream, while stream while I do this hobby, of it turns into something it's a bonus!

[arankirostok]

Honestly I do want to make streaming and general content creation my career, and I do come in with that mindset, but videos like this really help to remind me that I have to start it as something I like first, and worry about money later. If I focus on money alone, I won't make good content, and won't get anywhere I think

[themilesinkorea]

Sounds like great advice to me!
I like the friendship not networking idea, especially. It seems that we have an older notion where we need to do “networking, ” when we’d probably rather make friends, anyway, and this is what is proposed as working better on Twitch.
Thanks, xTS!

This has been the absolute MOST helpful "how to" twitch video I've seen. The view counter DEFINITELY makes me get in my head and I definitely do start to get awkward when I see it go up XD
Thank you for talking about more than just "post on social media", that's all I ever see

[j-naphtali]

This dude dropped so much knowledge. Respect

[CrayZgunZ]

Also, I keep view count up because It has never altered my personality on stream, I streamed to NO ONE for a year and a half and honestly had a lot of fun either way. I learned from that 1 1/2 year that I know exactly what I want to do and stick with it.

Now I have some regulars and viewers... the only thing that has changed and is a bit harder to do is keep track of chat. I'm the same guy as last year, but with viewers. I'll find myself rambling on a subject far too long due to the habits of streaming to no one in the past.

[Jetskiscabo]

Just a genuinely real ass dude. With solid advice.

[TheElectronicMann]

i streamed doom eternal today and i titeled it " getting banned from my church for playing this" and i actually got more viewers than usual

[Crazyvampireman]

I'm new to streaming, literally only done 2 streams thus far and I know that I'm still learning the ropes. Hell, my friend told me that my capture window should have been at the bottom after I finished streaming! Now I'll be able to see the chat in stream. I have a lot of fun streaming and really want to make a living off it, I like it, I enjoy entertaining people. This kind of video is pretty helpful for people like me

[helloSanders]

I really want to start streaming just as a means to make friends and socialize, but I'm intimidated by all of the people who do take it seriously. It's hard to feel confident and comfortable even though my expectations are practical. Thank you for the suggestions.

[MrsRemi]

Really nice and solid tips, thanks so much! I am reluctant on turning off my viewer count but mostly because I like to see when people get too tired to keep watching (since most of my streams are late at night) and not necessarily to be motivated by the number itself. Also not seeing twitch as a business right away is just such a good mindset!
