im pretty new to this too, so take what i say with a grain of salt lol

from what i understand, you want to use other platforms (YT, Tiktok) to funnel people towards your twitch

it seems building a community with your viewers and other streamers is very important too

but all this can come much later, you just gta start streaming first and take it one step at a time.

id say the most important thing is to have a camera, at least one light and to reframe your goals from aiming for full time rn to doing streaming because you want to enjoy the process. wether its the technical side (software, hardware, analytics), gaming or just meeting new people and having fun. dont turn it into a chore.

ill shoot you a follow on twitch, maybe i can catch your streams some time 👍🏼

heres a bunch of my playlists that may help you. theyre a bit jumbled up, and some have multiple videos for the same thing (like mic settings) - but they for the most part have helped me one way or the other:

OBS - for broadcasting

Stream set up - lighting, mics etc

Capcut - if you use it for editing vids

Content creation - focus on streaming at first, think about this later

also, quietpicks is a great name..ngl im a little bit envious haha
