![]() I might have more to suggest later but I'm in a bit of a hurry atm If you genuinely want to play a new release go ahead, but be aware people may already be watching it elsewhere, if not avoiding it for spoilers. Play what you want, have fun - Don't go chasing the biggest new releases because there's always going to be 10,000 more established streamers than you already playing it with larger audience share.Consider timezones, where your biggest audience numbers are coming from etc. Experiment early and often - This seems at odds with the last point but it's better to play around with things like your schedule earlier, whilst you're smaller, so you know what does and doesn't work.Keep a consistent schedule - At least when you're starting out, it helps if people know exactly when and where they can watch you consistently.You MIGHT be able to grow an audience streaming exclusively from a console but it'll be a hell of an uphill struggle. Streaming through a PC as opposed to a console's in built functionality lets you change way more about your stream - presentation matters, from the overlay you use, the alerts you have, and at affiliate and above even the sub badges and emotes you implement. If possible, don't stream from consoles - It's a higher entry cost but buying a capture card so you can be near a PC to stream helps immensely.There's no easy way to get bigger entirely on your own unless you're incredibly talented or are offering something high in production value or unique. If you make new streaming friends they and their communities will support you in turn. Network - Show up in other people's streams, take an interest in people who stream content similar to your own.That's what really matters, I know it's sappy, but it's true! I kind of straddle the line between both so it's tough for me sometimes, but I've made a ton of friends and had lots of laughs streaming, and I even got to raise some money for a charity close to my heart. ![]() But I'd also say, if you are enjoying yourself and it's mainly a hobby, don't sweat it. I'd recommend Stream Scheme and xTwoShoes on YouTube for some guides to getting those first average viewers. People will put up with a rough picture (the vast majority of Twitch streams are still 720p), if your audio's fucked, people tend to bail. I would say streaming is 70% audio actually because so many lurk, and I assume you're on a headset if you're on PS5, so that's rough. People expect a certain level of visual and especially audio quality. ![]() Not saying you can't make it, I'm pals with a Partner who started streaming with just a PS4 and has a full setup now, but it's going to be tougher because there is what people call a "quality floor" on Twitch now. Highlights are good if you have no editing experience for learning but they won't help you grow because people search for "Shroud highlights" or "Maximillian highlights", they won't search for you because they have no idea who you are.Īlso streaming straight from the PS5 is rough. If you play, say Apex Legends, you'd have to make videos comparing new skins, or guns, or videos about lore updates. This means guides, reviews, comparisons, that sort of thing. If you can't get into the top three rows of a game's page, then you probably shouldn't stream it.Īnd you're going to have to make discoverable, search-based content on other platforms if you want to grow in busy categories. If Twitch is your only funnel, then you're going to have to play categories with high follower count, low number of streams/streamers. ![]()
