Begin The Stream

As today is my last blog post, its time to view mty end results. I started with 14 subscribers and ended with: 16. I am still happy with my results despite not reaching my goal of 25, and I will continue working on reaching this goal. As long as I’m having fun I’ll continue to stream. Thank you for all following me on my journey to reaching my streaming goals and I hope you guys have learned something. As I leave you today not accomplishing my final goal, I hope you consider following my twitch and watching me eventually meet my goal. Thank you and happy streaming everyone. https://www.twitch.tv/blurbboh

Hello everyone! This is our last tip before we do a final check in next week. I don’t know if I’ll reach my goal, but I have enjoyed every minute of streaming. This last tip happens to be my favorite, so I am excited to talk about it today. The last tip is to give back to your subscribers! You can do this by playing games with them, giving shout outs, or letting them pick what games you play. Though these gestures may seem small, they show that you care about what your audience thinks and enjoys! One of my favorite streamers, Maddynf, has always done streams where she plays…

Hello everyone, For todays tips we will be talking about the importance of gaming buddies. In the streaming world and video games alike, it’s often more fun to play with friends then it is to play alone. Making friends with other streamers can help elevate your game play and limit any awkward silences.

Making friends with other streamers also opens doors to being more exposed to other viewers. I know that I have found some…

Today’s post is focusing on looking at my progress from implementing the tips I’ve researched. While this is a shorter post, it’s important to look at the progress you’ve made and see what you could improve on. Today I stand at 16 followers on Twitch. While this may not seem like a lot, I’m still happy to see minimal growth. I have had a hard time balancing school, work, and streaming, so any change is welcomed.

Hi again, Today I’ll be telling you guys about tip 5. Numerous streamers have attributed this tip to their success in turning streaming into their career. The best way to gain a following is to be a consistent streamer. A lot of first time streamers start out thinking the best way to gain a following is to stream for hours at a time. I will often stumble upon new streamers that stream for 5+ hours and are upset that there are few viewers. Most people do not want to watch long streams because they have other things going on in their own lives too. Viewers may have school, jobs, or…

Hi again! Now that we’ve laid down a basis for streaming research, its time to actually set up the stream! My best advice that I can give is to look at other peoples streaming setups and see which one aligns with your aesthetic! When it comes to setting up your stream, you want everything to stand out and represent you. For instance, a friend made my profile picture and banner which has brought more people to look at my stream. This picture makes my stream look more professional and helps bring people in. Another thing that can be helpful when designing your stream layout is picking a color scheme! My…
