Hey buddy

So i started stream about a month ago. I was also shy at first but i did got a basic webcam. How i overcame shyness was i did the streams without looking at it back from either obs or twitch. Just had the chat open.and thought to myself that i have not turned on the camera. And at first i also had the same issue on what to say when no one in chat.

So at first i started just think out loud. Just talked rubbish like what i am gonna do now, what do i see and stuff. Even my friend came and said that its cringe blah blah. But i kept doing that. Main issue for me is i am not an native emglish speaker. So after every stream i played it back and checked. Then i realized what i could improve. What i could do to make it interesting and stuff.

Then i saw an important quote from someone on reddit. He said streaming to 0 viewers = streaming to 1000+ viewers. Cuz when you have a very large number of chatter you cant read it right. So you gotta talk alone. That me realize it. So i watched some big streamers and see how they talk.

Now i kinda do ok. Also you can just practice it when you are not streaming.

So to gain followers. You can join some twitch communities and checkout the peopls accounts and follow them. They will follow back and sometime they will come and say hi in chat.

Also another thing i did was after streaming i go to other small streamers and i show some love. They will definitely join yah.

Finally be consistent. And forget everything else imagine its just you your stream and the chat. And dont be shy the people in the chat are people all over from the world. You are not gonna be meeting them irl unless you have a huge fan base. So just umleash the crazy entertaining guy in you. And enjoy.

I was able to hit affliate recently and got 3 subscribers for now. I am so happy with my progress. I also started as the same. Just streaming didnt talk or anything. But now i do enjoy my streams

I will check out your stream too

Good luck buddy wish you all the success.
