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'm around 5 years with no more then an average of 0 to 6 viewers. I still stream to this day, I stopped looking and caring about my number of viewers. Starting to stream has got me into learning about SEO analytics, higher filming and lighting techics, and time management over hours instead of days at a time. Im constantly trying to do new things but even though I've done multi platforms I feel like I'm getting stuff out way to slow and it becomes irrelevant compared to others who get stuff out minutes after major companies put out the information. I use multiple accounts as not to self advertise when talking on others stuff

[Okibro_]

I think I really improved being more engaging, last stream I had 17 viewers. Was really proud of that

[TheSoulCrisis]

It's so insightful and inspiring to see great folks who put in the work for 2 - 3 years only averaging less than 50 viewers and then blossomed getting 4, 000+ average the amazing thing about content creation and streaming. Growth isn't linear, it's exponential!

[ChulipCh]

Thank you for the upload, I always take your advice to heart and feel like I’m slowly but surely working towards new goals consistently.

[danjoginete]

Great videos like always!! Question, would you ever do specific VOD Twitch reviews? It'd be nice to see your experience in action.

[HHhombre]

As always I love your videos and the way you present tangible tips, or ideas. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing what you have learned :D

[BeardedBankerr]

As someone whose just about to start over with youtube & twitch and getting back into it i think your videos are great! Really appreciate all the tips and tricks you share :D

[kaleidoscyan]

i've been streaming for about 7 months now, but only during the last month i've been trying to make the quality of my content better and i've already seen a huge difference. i actually have regular chatters now which is cray to me, my followers have more than doubled and my viewership has also grown alot. Thanks for helping me with your awesome videos :)

[misty]

Great video man! Got me thinking of starting a poly bridge series now on YouTube and twitch 🙌

[imwatchingyouppl]

Most ppl don't get me. I'm ONLY Affiliate because I want to upload custom Emotes. I'm not interested to growth; I'm just in love with a certain Community game and like meeting new ppl and playing it with them. The only time I mention any giving perks--tips, Throne, etc.--is my birtmonth. The only other benefit I see to growth is creating and fostering a truly safe space that others can enjoy.

That being sad, for other streamers who *want* to grow, this is really good advice. I've been watching a lot of your videos and have learned much to improve my small space on Twitch. I'm improving things, learning some tech ins and outs, and learning to woosah through the many hiccups along the way. Great video, as always.

[Retrotobii]

always appreciate the motivation man!!

[ApollyonApollo]

Nice vid! Also when I saw your examples I got the biggest smile on my face aha, I really look up to both of them even if I don't necessarily watch their content too much 😄

[daminguez]

Man! Just thank you! You are right and you just give me hope! Thx! :)

[twopintzVT]

MOUSEY!! I'm a Vtuber too, so really happy that you showed her : ) I liked this video a lot dude. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and information!

[klutchpotato]

[The_Purple_Joker]

After streaming on youtube for over 1.5 years, having 150+ videos, having 2-5 viewers in my stream and 20-50 vieuws a video. I will never stop doing youtube, it is something i enjoy doing. And even if i made 1 person's day or helped him out with a guide, then that video was worth it. Appreciate what you have !

[desinc]

Its little over 90 days since streaming. I usually have 1-2 viewers who are my friends or my alt account 😝. But I love the journey of streaming and content creation. Learning each day is interesting and help you grow as a person. Love you channel its so relatable. ❤
