    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.

    TIP 9: Streaming Buddy

    Hello everyone, For todays tips we will be talking about the importance of gaming buddies.

    Check-In

    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. For this second half of the journey I will be pushing myself to stick to my schedule and making sure that I do in fact take the time to stream once a week. Thank…
