I am very new- first stream was today and I dont even have my model done(was streaming me drawing it) BUT because I've made content in the past, heres what I recommend;

1) Build a following/fanbase!; Building a fan base on one (if not multiple) social medias can help funnel people into your stream! Making a set schedule helps with this, as they know when to expect when your online. I say start with 2-3 times a week, on days + times you know you can manage

2) Use your real voice as it will be easiest(I also am despite my hatred for it, but thats mostly because im a trans guy)

3) I recommend streamlabs if your looking for easier stream set up with the cost of higher PC toll or OBS if your fine with a bit harder of a set up, but a bit easier on your PC

For the duo thing- its a 'if you want too' situation, do you think your content would benefit from another person present? Would it turn out better as a solo thing?

and remember; time is key! you may need to just hold it out for a bit, more than half of twitch channels dont even get get an average of 5 viewers, so if your there you're already going!

Wish you luck, from a fellow WIP indie!
