How to Grow on Twitch as a Variety Streamer (2021)

Variety Streaming can be a very difficult area to grow into, but it is one of the best ways to do what you love and enjoy stream. This is a little bit about how I have built an audience through a stream that is so much variety! I love being able to create each time I go live in different ways. I hope this helps!

I'm a mod of a variety streamer and he tries to do everything by himself. Now I'm sitting here, watching those vids so I can give support. I want that my streamer doesn't go through this alone. I want to see the community grow because that's one of the most beautiful things ever, to see a community grow in front of your eyes and to chat with them and to take care of them. Thanks for that video <3

I needed this video so much. I've been trapped in a box. I'm what I would call a dark souls expert. And I kinda grew my entire channel on helping other streamers destroy the game (by coaching not summoning me in) and i wanted to move into variety. I was so excited. I was averaging more viewers than ever before. So I thought my viewers would have enjoyed a change of pace. Rather, my numbers virtually disappeared and I actually had 3 people come in and say "wrong game" or something similar and then just leave. So I just bit the bullet and moved back into the dark souls space. But after thousands of hours in soulsborne games I really just want to play other things to. It's going to be DIFFICULT to not care about a dip in my numbers. But ultimately I think I need to do what I'm going to enjoy. And of course I'll still play dark souls. But I need something to change the pace. Great video. Thanks Wombat

I really appreciate this video, I'm going to go for a radio show vibe on my channel and this is a big boost to my confidence in the idea.

Im a variety streamer and I really enjoyed this video and found this advice helpful. My main focus for variety streaming is to try to take people on a journey through all my favourite games from retro classics to xbox360 to next gen and when you look at the games from the 80s till now the library is huge. I am hoping that by streaming all my favourite games that I can draw in people like myself who grew up playing nintendo super nes and other platforms and hopefully develop some friends and regulars who enjoy my streams and because I am just starting out on social media and twitch as a vareity streamer it will take time to grow my stream but i am confident that over time I will start to get followers and viewers and form a great gaming community that likes to be a part of twitch and youtube channel.

Love all your videos Nick. I also loved your stream, lots of tips and tricks. Very useful.

3:10 relatively new to streaming, and I've gained a tiny bit of traction by streaming Minecraft during hours most people aren't. I've adapted as my viewers enjoy me reacting to memes, but I enjoy doing other stuff on-stream like reading news articles, so I've decided to switch back and forth between doing things my chat and viewers will enjoy, and doing things I enjoy

I also realized that there's a game I love playing but stopped playing because nobody watches me when I play it live, BUT nobody streams it nowadays even though it has a fanbase and I noticed that the VODs get a spike in viewership later on so I plan on going back to playing it

[AuthorWASimpson]

Very helpful! For PS players, PS Plus? I'm a variety streamer myself although I try to stick to one game until it's complete. I usually play what I enjoy.

[OldCdnGamer]

Awesome video Nick, great advice. Well done. I am going to be late for your stream as I am watching your video :) KEKW. This will help me I appreciate you doing this video. I started with Minecraft and I have been playing Enlisted, Mechwarrior 5 and Escape From Tarkov

You are a real one man Ur Uploads Always Help Thx

[itsbcha]

How much variety is too much? Should I play a game for a week then swap? Is it too much to play a different game every stream, but pick from a small pool of games?
