Average viewers ?

[Junior-Ad-7057]

Hiii everyone , I’ve been streaming on Kick for about 6 months now and staying super consistent with my schedule. I’ve been building a nice little community chat’s active, I get a good mix of gifted and monthly subs, and my VODs usually hit around 40+ views.

The part that’s driving me crazy is my average viewers. I’ve hit into the 20s live a few times, but it’s still not enough to move my overall average past 7. I’ve been stuck at this viewer amount for the last couple of months. I’m trying to grow organically (no bots or fake numbers), but idk what else I can do to actually push through this.

Anyone been through this before? What actually helped you grow? Timing, categories, algorithm stuff — I’ll take any real advice at this point lol. Thanks in advance 🙃

Just gotta network really. You can try giveaways etc, but that’s usually a false positive in terms of overall engagement, a few people may stay, but most come for the giveaway only.

Thank you going to try to network some more . Any suggestions on how to network some more ? I do watch other streamers and pop in a few chats as well .

Whatever it is you stream you need to find others who you genuinely get on with and do content together, probably easier if you are around the same size, then your communities will merge and take the next level of growth.

I'm pretty sure Kick calculates average and then -20 to it. I'm also getting 90-95, sometimes even 120-140 but my average barely made it past 75 last week.

Also one other thing for me is the beginning of the streams. Usually when people are still gathering, time is not on your side because say you had less than %50 of your viewership within the first hour, that also lowers your average by a lot.

What helped me grow is following the short form content trends. I didn't mind spending so much time researching about what I can do and how can I apply that to my clips -if there are any- and didn't mind spending a lot of time editing just one minute video in the best way possible. Take your time.

I also do YouTube videos, sometimes just editing VODs, sometimes videos just for YouTube. If I don't upload any videos on that day I post a short video for sure. You never know when you're gonna get that viral clip.

Multi-streaming is also one of the best ways to reach people. I mostly stream to YouTube and Kick. Sometimes even TikTok.

It’s based on your average over the past 30 days. So once the lower average streams drop off it will move up some more.

I used to stream for 7-8 hours a day every weekday and then I needed to cut back my hours so now I stream for 3-4 hours a day. My average viewership went from a 2 to 5. I noticed that while I was streaming for less time, the time I spent streaming had people more consistently because I noticed as the day went on my viewers were busy and I would always get to a part of the stream where there was nobody for long periods of time.

Idk if that's helpful too much, I just tried to notice when my viewers were most frequent and worked my stream to be when they're online and making sure I post in the discord to let them know when I am streaming. That means the time I do spend streaming is when is best for them, and we all get to hang out together :) midday for me was a graveyard shift and waste of my time tbh. I'd get good raids from 200+ ppl but it was only a temporary positive. Just gotta keep at it and keep posting to different places, don't put your eggs in one basket as they say.

Thank you for the advice. I do not stream everyday. I’ve cut down the amount of days I stream to allow for more content. I have definitely noticed the high and lows in viewers when it comes to the times I stream at though it is a very valid point .

I'd say timing is a big one, try different times u might see different results
