How do you get viewers?

>play vidya like normal
>but load up OBS
>hope to be lucky

>be attractive
>follow algorithm
>have a little luck(if you believe in luck)
>have big fuck huge anime bobs

I have recently been playing a shitload of various doom wads and mods. If I stream that, what are the odds people will watch?

advertise your shit on the related subreddit or general thread

This is oversimplified, but I break viewers into two main types;
-People who watch streamers who are good
-People who watch streamers who are funny

Do you lack both of these? Then good luck. (Being hilariously bad at something / rage goes under the funny category btw)

DOOM has a small niche community, you might be able to pull in some viewers. For starting out its nicer to pick games that aren't big at all, but still have some viewer base so you aren't drowned out by literally everyone else trying to stream it. Whether they stay for long is up to you of course.

Be as much of a clown as possible while simultaneously acting as though you aren't actually a clown. Degrade yourself as much as possible. Become a person that no one would want to be around, but everyone wants to watch burn.

That, or just have an organically charismatic and lovable personality that people attach to because you're awesome. But you're already asking, so I'm assuming you don't have that. And that one, you can't fake.

unless you're a hot chick you don't. the ship has sailed. it's impossible to start up a channel unless you're extremely lucky and suck up to an established streamer.

Either be funny or be a great player. Either way try not to be boring, dont just sit there mostly silently occasionally commenting.
Also be consistent. Stream often and at around the same time so you get a regular "crew" of viewers.

>advertise
I don't think I should resort to that?

Lot of viewers stay for interaction and not gameplay exclusively,atleast voice is recommended if not facecam. If you read out the chat and answer randoms they will come back eventually.
Playing a popular game wouldn't hurt either probably but I think you can get away with just about anything as a smaller streamer.

What about the people who only watch for certain games and don't give a shit who the streamer is?

its not a last resort thing. its helpful.

I've never seen one streamer who was good or funny.

Ok I will share my tips here, these all worked for me and made me able to pull ~50 viewers when I felt like it. Look for variety streamers like Soda, Forsen, Lirik, xQc etc and when they decide to stream a lidl game that only has ~1 other streamer playing it, go under that catagory despite streaming another game. This works but be careful of getting banned. The 2nd is you need a cam, no one wants to watch otherwise. 3rd is have something distracting on screen that the people joining can comment on, for example you can put a picture of an ISIS member or something and they will ask "why is there an isis member?" and then you can have a conversation with him. That's it. Works pretty well

> I don't think I should resort to exposing my product to people who don't know about it

Then you're an idiot and you're not gonna get anywhere. Advertising isn't a bad thing, there's just so much of it that alot of people don't like it. Doesn't mean it doesn't work, or that there aren't people who appreciate someone doing to work to get themselves out there. Advertising is just a thing, and it's up to you whether you make it malicious or not.

Unless you think you're just so amazing and interesting that people will simply talk about how awesome you are without being asked to. Then you're just a faggot with a huge ego, and you'd be better off buying a hooker to follow you around and congratulate you upon completion of everyday tasks.

Why would you get banned?

because they see you streaming under the wrong game. I got a 7 day ban for it.

I just have a stigma against advertising and marketing in general. I run every adblock and adblock hider I can and find anyone trying to viral their shit whatever it may be obnoxious. Maybe its a bias I have but given how many people have downloaded ublock, I doubt I'm the only one with this mindset. Not to mention this is Yea Forums where advertising your stream/channel/website/etc is a bannable offense for obvious reasons.

show your fucking tits whore

I said it was oversimplified. Normies don't care about "the game" so your example was left out- not that it's an invalid category just much less consequential

Oh I missed this part.
>go under that catagory despite streaming another game.

You have to be really obnoxious and never showcase any worthwhile gameplay.

the only way to start nowadays is to have a semi popular youtube channel where you can traffic ppl from, otherwise you're a 1 viewer andy unless you get lucky

>Advertising isn't a bad thing
>says the fag running 15 adblockers

Get anime emotes.

"good" and "funny"

I would like to break down your post into two main types:

-People who know how to use a semicolon
-People who do not know how to use a semicolon

Thou art the latter.

Playing variety from the get-go is the toughest way to go.

Soda, xQc, forsen, Moon, etc. all started with one main game then eventually branched off once they got an audience.

based

just post your damn channel already

-People who care
-People who don't care

Guess which I slot into.

Yes, you shouldn't stream variety, you should just put yourself in the same game category as them while playing a game like CS, OW, League etc.

these threads always reek of jealousy

Vinesauce is the only streamer I know that somehow got popular doing variety but even then it took a fuckton of time (and shilling on Yea Forums) to get a following

>be presentable (i.e. not fat)
>have friends

If you have 0 viewers, and 0 people to get to watch your stream from day 1, don't stream one of the top games with thousands of viewers.
Have you ever scrolled down to the bottom of one of those sections to check out the 1 viewer streams? noone really does that unless they have a good reason to.
Playing / Interacting with viewers in some way is a good way to get people to click your shit, mario maker 2 for example, a big one right now where if you play viewer levels you can very easily get some traffic.
Playing a smaller game section where your 0 viewer stream isn't 4 pages of scrolling down can help.

talent and personality mostly, only certain types of people will be able to make it, its not something anyones eligible for
finding an opening for yourself is the hard part
"grinding" doesnt work, if its gonna happen for you itll happen pretty quickly, theres no "earning" viewers, but finding a unique specific situation in where youll be able to build viewership even given you have the talent/personality to draw attention is not an easy thing to do regardless

t. stream monster subbed to 10+ channels

>advocating shilling
Yes goyim yes

post your clips on livestreamfail and go viral

Not sure, but you KEEP viewers if you don't put TTV in your name to make yourself look like a sellout

zoomers look so soulless

You start on Jewtube then switch when you gain a decent following

This. The "ironic weeb" people will flock to you if you have a bunch of anime shit on your channel. People will give you money just to use specific emotes. It's fucking retarded and Satan-like, but you'll get money and attention for it.

>boomer emotes

lilypichu is pretty cute. it's too bad she's a used up roastie whore.

You people are fucking retarded. Advertising is just the practice of giving your product or brand exposure. You're kind of advertising right now, all you need to do is drop the channel. Go to a Reddit and tell people about it in relevant circles, go to another streamer and talk to him or her and work out something where you both talk about each other. Get friends and be friendly to make sure people know about your brand.

Seriously, you're all acting like advertising is this evil Jewish conspiracy, but it's fucking not. If you want to try to make manipulative ads that trick viewers into coming into your channel, then that shit's on you. That makes you the bad guy, and I can promise you will be surprised by how many people ignore you and see right through your shit. If you just want to say "Hey, I exist and I think you might like this, so give it a try", then there is nothing wrong with that. How fucking weak-minded do you have to be to think all advertising is out to trick you? You have to be incredibly full of yourself to think you're that important. Because you're not.

>This is oversimplified, but I break viewers into two main types;

No user the actual breakdown of the option tree goes:

> Prostrate stimulator Yes/No
> No? Friendship sim Yes/No
> Not a friend simulator? Comedy routine Yes/No
> Not a comedian? Someone who's competent at playing
> Not competent? Comedian of failures, someone to troll about being shit at a game.
> Ill tempered and said a no-no word in response? Banned by twitch.

And then you get shit like
> A wild SWAT appeared!
> It's super effective!
> user has died...

beg people to watch your stream
