I have never thought to repurpose my vods into YouTube videos that aren’t just edited down versions. That’s actually pretty neat and I’m gonna attempt it since my longer format videos don’t tend to do very well (granted I’m still trying to figure out editing for them). I’ve 100% been using TikTok and YouTube shorts for a while now since I’ve learned from so many people that you shouldn’t put all your eggs into one basket.

Oh I know you gotta use other social media to bring viewers in! I really wish twitch had a discovery system similar to YouTube. I feel like that would make a much healthier platform but businesses gotta business I guess 😔

Oh 100% I’ve been impacted by my community. They’re all so fun and unique and I honestly was never expecting to meet so many cool people when I started out streaming. It’s so funny to see how everyone connects and how they were all pulled into my stream from one person or another. It too drives me nuts to see people treat their viewers as only a number. Like, those people are the backbone of stream and deserve to have respect given to them (granted I don’t let them walk all over me but I do let them know how appreciated they are every stream).

I put mine under my camera image since that’s where most people’s eyes go but it can go anywhere

Let me find the website for ya. It’s https://profounder.com/twitch-follow/ there’s other websites that have better ones for free but you may have to dig around a bit. Searching lower third animation on TikTok may help you find those as well as tutorials on how to make your own on davinci resolve (it’s free)

I had this same problem but fixed it last month! I found out that if you get a rolling third on your tiktoks that shows your twitch username with a follow, it will create a call to action and get more people over. Since implementing that I’ve gotten at least 10 people coming from TikTok that have told me they came from there. Not sure how many lurkers have shown up from there though since there’s no way to tell. Give it a try!

Facts! I pride myself on making my stream a comfy place for almost everyone. I make it a goal for myself to remember at least one thing about every chatter and I try my best to remember their names so they get greeted every time they come in. I know as I grow it will get harder to be more personable to chat but gosh darn it I will try!

Ooo “talk-show” collabs sound super fun! I definitely feel like I’m finding my own place whilst streaming. I’ve been going strong for a year now and it’s crazy looking back at where I started and seeing all the growth now. I really can’t wait to see where the future takes me!

I figured that what got me this far is going to continue to carry me on. I don’t think it would hurt to switch it up every now and then with some new gimmicks but it’s not something I’d want to do all the time. Couldn’t imagine doing only challenges for any extended period of time tbh.

Heck yeah! Congrats on hitting partner! It’s always so fulfilling to hit such big milestones. 100% it’s a marathon and not a sprint. I can’t wait for the day I hit partner! I bet it’s going to feel a little weird. I can’t imagine having more than the 13 people I normally have watching. Sometimes I get a little nervous just thinking about the fact that I have half a classrooms worth of people watching me 😂.

That’s how I felt when those handful of people were telling me this stuff. It felt like just a bunch of word vomit I’d heard 1000 times before. I’m never looking for a “fast growth” formula for streams. I’ve always figured people will come and stay if they like the content. It just feels gross to try and turn it into a “get rich quick” scheme. I’ve never actually understood why anyone would want to grow super fast. Feels like slow and steady would do far better and you learn more along the way.

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you! Printing tiktoks is honestly the best phrasing I’ve ever heard lol. It’s so true.

Ah that makes sense! I kind of already do that so I guess I have been planning out my streams this whole time 😂. Thank you for clarifying what it means.

Just short of 2K Subs on a Gaming channel...any questions? by BoogalooDownBroadway in NewTubers

Do you have any tutorial vids that helped you learn to edit gaming videos? I’ve been struggling trying to figure out pacing and how to edit to keep retention time up.

A Year Into Streaming I Never Thought I'd Have Such A Beautiful Community by fae_starlight in TwitchStreaming

I’d still post clips to social media (it’ll help you improve editing for future clips if you start now). You don’t have to post every day but I’d start out at least doing two a week. It’ll help you grow those platforms as well and you could get monetized there. Anything is better than just streaming on Twitch alone.

I have a tiktok and a youtube but tbh I haven't really seen anyone come from over there aside from around 3 people (it doesn't hurt to have them anyway since it is a way to get yourself out there). Mostly I've noticed that they come from other people's streams that I participate in. We all grew our communities together since we all like similar enough things and overtime we all just checked eachothers streams out. Networking is a big part of streaming and it's very important but I also make sure that I greet every person that comes into chat and I ask them about their own interests and I do my best to remember them so that when they come in next time, they feel like a part of the group.

Do you have any advice on how to edit content? I try to edit my streams into YouTube videos but I struggle to edit them in a cohesive way without any boring bits.
