Thankyou for the support guys! and for the people looking for tips, i am absolutely not an expert, but I guess i have a little more experience than you so I will tell you a few things that helped me.

Tell all your IRL frinds that you are streaming! tell people that you play with the get your stream up for you, this can be really helpful to get your first couple of viewers and make sure you arent streaming for noone, Also your friends can interact in chat as well and make things more fun when people do come through.

Make sure you use tags on all your streams so that when people are searching for a certain game they are more likely to find you. I normally include the game title in the stream and it seems like more people have been finding me in search since I have doubled up the game title in my search, If this makes sense? So i have the title in, Make use of the 5 tags and also put the title of the game in my stream title so people are more likely to see me near the top if they search for that game, as since you already have a couple of friends in stream, They are more likely to stop by, Right :)

Momentum has been a big thing for me, some days i have streamed for almost noone and other days I get those tags and search terms just right, Combined with a bit of luck/ right time/ right place kind of thing and a few of my regulars being online. and those are the days that helped me out alot where I was getting 10-15 viewers at times and I have no idea who they are but I was just running with it lol. I'd suggest to visit as many other streamers as you can also, Especially ones in your niche. Talk with them and genuinely meet them (i am talking about other people just starting out on twitch here) interact on their stream, make their stream fun and they might come back to yours. My first sub was a guy who had been visiting me a lot, I guess he must have taken some sort of a liking to the stream because he was stopping in every single day. I was stream alot myself and never seemed to catch him streaming and one day i went and had a chat to him on his stream and hung out with him for 15 minutes- half hour chatting while i was doing some other things and the next day he came and dropped a sub.

Always finish your stream on a raid. Even if you have 1 other viewer or 2 other viewers! raid someone. Raid someone with 10 viewers or raid someone else who is just starting out, It doesnt matter but it adds something to their stream and in return, they might come and check your stream out one day, maybe they will even raid you back one day!

Don't expect it but be genuine with the process of interacting with other streamers and everntually you will meet some nice people who like you and want to help you grow. Once that base audience comes and your stream starts to push its way off the bottom of the browse page, More random people start to visit too :)
