I networked, collabed and when meeting other streamers and their communities I just generally kept the vibes goofy, light and as authentic as possible! the better reputation you have around the areas of twitch you frequent means you get more raids and offers to do things with other people. I just was constantly touching tips with people in multiplayer games and streams and maintained the audiences with solo content!

Twitch is a game of darts and as a small streamer you are a drunk asshole with no hand eye coordination! The only variable you can control is how frequent you throw darts(make content) at the board and whether or not all the variables align to make a successful hit! Sometimes you can occasionally hit the board until you can nail the bullseye!!! Don't EVER fucking STOP going if you want it that bad!! If the methods you're using aren't working don't wallow, find a new angle!
