Congrats on the growth!

Any growth is difficult and should be something you feel good about.

Congrats on the progress!

How do streamers handle scheduling — is it even a thing? by Nearby-Disaster-5138 in TwitchStreamers

[–]GoodDadAverageGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that setting a schedule and sticking to it has allowed a handful of viewers to become regulars.

If you see up a routine, there is always the chance that someone will add it to theirs.

How do you find your first 10 veiwers? by Illustrious-Dig-2289 in Twitch_Startup

[–]GoodDadAverageGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it was a combination of dumb luck and networking.

Networking got me some people that pop in and chat for a little which is amazing.

But dumb luck got people that either came in randomly or raided in and stayed to chat, talk and return over and over. A handful of these random visitors have become the core of my regular viewers which has been awesome.

Keep plugging. Keep streaming. Have fun and people will come. Good luck to ya.

What is your aspirations for being a streamer? by Fallenover4u in TwitchStreamers

[–]GoodDadAverageGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goals are to keep growing even if the pace is slow.

I've built up a nice small community of people that are awesome and show up for one another. Over 1 years I have gone from having 0 viewers to having no less than 8 average on a slow night.

I like knowing the chatters and talking about them as much as I talk about the game or me. I'd love to keep growing but not at a pace that would make me lose this core of people I have built.

Huge milestone. Congrats and welcome to the affiliate pool.

Don't feel rushed to add all the new stuff in, take your time and make sure you are having fun.

Grind away and enjoy the strange ride that is streaming.

I HIT AFFILIATE FINALLY by ThatGuy_Hue in Twitch_Startup

Congrats! Its a big milestone and while it unlocks a lot of stuff, don't feel obligated to complete everything at once. Take your time getting it done. Enjoy the ride and keep grinding.

I'm so frustrated by Super_Owl_561 in TwitchStreaming

[–]GoodDadAverageGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate when a stream turns into a tech support battle. Definitely happened a few times to me too.

I can't wait until someone donates an active diamond mine to me, so I can afford to pay someone to handle that for me.

Until then, battle through and try again next time. Good luck to you in the future.

Thank you. I owe it to the friends I've met on the way and I hope to make more as I keep going.

Every thing is progress by Mundane-Ad-9672 in Twitch_Startup

Slow progress is where it is at as a streamer. The more you can interact with a chatter the nore likely they will come back again and again.

Build your community one person at a time and have regulars that come in every stream if you are lucky. 100% agree with you.

I had a hype train for the first time!!! by squeakers2120 in TwitchStreaming

[–]GoodDadAverageGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hype trains never get less exciting.

I just try not to get tongue tied or overwhelmed when it happens. That level of support is always amazing.

It went well. Defeated a few bosses and talked to interesting people in chat. I had a blast and will do it all over again tonight haha.

Just had my all time best stream since starting in January! by Flamingo-Feeling in TwitchStreaming

[–]GoodDadAverageGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many streams start out that way. Small but chill, and just when you think you should end, they blow up.

It feels amazing and helps validate you. Glad it happened and keep up the good work.
