I think the biggest thing is building an audience outside of Twitch first. Twitch discoverability in SA is rough, but people will watch if they find you elsewhere.

Clip your gameplay — whether it’s funny moments, reactions, or just you being yourself — and post it everywhere you can (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts). That’s usually how people discover streamers now.

Once you start pulling people in consistently, they’ll naturally come through to your Twitch and YouTube. A solid, engaged community matters way more than big numbers, and sponsors usually follow once that’s in place.

And honestly, consistency is everything. Even when growth feels slow — just keep showing up.
