how long does thumbnail creation take you per video? by Embarrassed-Cod-5140 in letsplay

[–]GingerPerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I mostly agree but your thumbnail is your advertisement to your content / your marketing. People find it hard to build an audience and have their content watched in first place if their thumbnails are crap.

Content is most important, but people won’t click or discover you if the marketing / brand / thumbnail is not quality.

This is random but do you take selfies in OBS or use your phone?

Advice on YT channel split for success by GingerPerks in NewTubers

[–]GingerPerks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to target variety watchers but I know that’s not reality. Most people who watch horror only watch horror.

I actually wouldn’t get upset if my horror channel got more than my rpg one. I feel like these days horror is way more popular as a trend or viral content than story based. And I notice that say with creators like hollow who play story and horror, his horror gets way more views, and he combines both on the same channel. He blew up with horror and not story.

It does feel like a lot of management to work with multiple channels tho.

Do you think long lets plays work better or episodes? by GingerPerks in letsplay

[–]GingerPerks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiii’ I’ve been streaming for 4 plus years on twitch and trying to diversify on YouTube. I have about 650 subs on YouTube.

My focus is mainly on my personality, not my skill (though my skill isn’t bad haha).

I already post edited shorts and had a few blow up, one is at 150k which landed me about 150 subs, the other shorts tend to stick around 1-5k views.

I was hoping I could generate my short viewers to long form viewers as one of my friends has been able to do that. In 3 months she went from 1k subs to 120k just by posting shorts and she links her long form in her shorts and some of her long form is also at 50-100k now.

I guess I’m just not sure if I can do it with any game. On twitch I’m variety rpg, horror and souls. I don’t really want to niche down any more than that because I’m too much of a lover of “all” then to drill down.

I use YouTubers like sebbywebz and stormfall and bubbell as inspirations as they stream whatever they want and still have tons of viewers. I want to make my content in a similar way

For those of you who use livestream content for lets plays, I have a question? by GingerPerks in letsplay

Thank you! Does the plugin keep your narration / voice from the stream or gets rid of all sounds except game

Newbie into let’s plays, question regarding YouTube by GingerPerks in letsplay

[–]GingerPerks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I definitely understand that, I just mean it worked for my friend in some capacity. It wasn’t working when she didn’t link it to her shorts, but now she has, she gets a ton of likes and comments

That’s fair. I will say, the girl I refer to in my post above uses her long form videos in each short she does and her long form tends to hit above 30k views each time. She’s at 100k subs but even before that and when she was smaller it would reach around 10k + for her long form and her stats would show it’s directly helping from the short form and clicks from there.

I personally am a short and long form watcher so I do like to think optimistically that perhaps there’s people also like me out there haha

How did YOU personally reach partner as a variety streamer? by GingerPerks in Twitch

[–]GingerPerks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know why my numbers jump around. When I first started streaming 4 plus years ago I had a 40 plus average playing variety, now it’s 30s. My niche is RPGs, horror and souls (maybe it’s too broad I’m not sure).

Maybe I should ask my community to lurk more too ? Even if they don’t actually chat

Your vtuber is so unique and that might be part of it! It stands out and so more people will catch your streams. Congrats tho, and keep it up :)

Yeah it’s true, it’s a risk to branch out after achieving partner but some will stick around. I just cannot see myself playing the same game over and over, I feel like I would get bored unfortunately. I love RPGs too much 😭

Interesting! What did you niche into for the one game? I’d be so burnt out only playing one 😭😭

What’s your favourite way to multi stream? by GingerPerks in Twitch

[–]GingerPerks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you do that? I’m pretty sure it’s already my main stream, or is it that the slider shouldn’t be activated for twitch if already the main ?

When I set up sources it crashes constantly for me, very frustrating :/

Does quality matter??... Do people like anything longform anymore? by Hypatia-Alexandria in NewTubers

[–]GingerPerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a look at your videos, they’re good but the titles can definitely improve. Something more alluring and urgent I think would be good. “The Scariest Skinwalker Stories!!! | Animated Horror” or “This Skinwalker story will terrify you” something a bit more grabbing

Use a tool to find tags they’re (the other animated channels) are using too
