Why is my channel not getting views? I talk in the necessary parts, giving very good side notes and trivias about the game all the time, even my webcam is on, designed a professional looking overlay.
How do I shill a channel? Should I keep accumulating content until it gets attention someday?

1. you must be attractive
2. you must have a fun personality
I don't have a gay nerdy voice desu and I am kind of attractive, not an obese with neckbeard. Actually whoever finds the channel tend to stay but feels to leave due to lack of people in the chat, so I can't interact with anyone.
redpilled but fake, on twitch people don't care if you're good looking or not
play a popular game garner a small following and branch out
>designed a professional looking overlay
"professional" streamer btw
Try to surf on the next popular thing
Or get your own niche audience
Post your overlay
You can't make it as a streamer from nothing these days. If you can't attach yourself to more famous streamers or have outside twitch fame that brings viewers, you're doomed.
Because there are already 100 other people doing exactly what you're doing. Twitch is too saturated to solely play a game every day and expect growth. Also dont even try on the bigger games in twitch. I know its boomer advice but you unironically have to do something to stick out and be unique
post twitch
You added the webcam too early.
If you do the whole "professional streamer" production thing before you actually develop viewership then you'll just look like a tryhard and potential viewers will ignore your stream.
To actually develop your stream:
Make a schedule,
Go for long hours on the days you stream (8 to 10 hours)
Fill a niche with your game selection. Don't fucking stream whatever flavor of the month shooter everyone else is streaming (at least not every day of your schedule) you'll just drown in the sea of other people trying to do that same thing.
Get anyone, and I mean ANYONE you know to join in. Friends, family, anything in between. Depending on the popularity of the game you're playing, it's a very sink or swim environment.
Have tittys that the twitch staff likes, or get famous elsewhere.
Nobody organically progresses on twitch.
they can feel your desperation to get views.
just stream for fun. people can tell if you are a loser trying to make it your job or not.
What do you play/stream?
I have a job already so I am not intending to earn or have 6 gazillion followers. I just need several people to watch&interact with me while I'm playing my favorite things because I've always loved giving information on the shit I like. It's a good way for me to stay away from alcohol when I get home from work and relieve the stress of the day.
Play new releases and games with small viewership, you're too late to cash in on fortnite/lol and you'll just be drowned out by the thousands of other channels streaming it. Post highlights to youtube and shill your channel everywhere you can. A lot of my viewers are people I've played with because I have twitch in my username.
>Nobody organically progresses on twitch.
They do, but the soft cap is like 500 concurrent viewers for organic progression variety streamers.
Mostly PS1 games plus giving both (deeply) technical and trivial information on them, meanwhile talking off-topic stuff and my personal experiences about the things I encounter in the game.
Try not taking part in something that is already oversaturated with faggotry.
>take part in a modern day goldrush
>"wtf why isn't there any gold left?"
because very few people are getting exposed to your channel
twitch is not equipped for finding smaller streamers unless you specifically look for a niche game
youve got to concurrently release videos on youtube to get noticed, get friendly with a mid-streamer or submit a popular clip to livestreamfails
If you dont have tits or a semi attractive face that can be smeared in makeup give up now.
One of my friends has been streaming religiously for 2 years straight. never misses a day. always streams for the same amount of time. gets 50 views max.
another friend whos an above average attractive asian female with D cups started streaming a month ago and is already partnered. She has white knights on her ass in discord already and her schedule is whenever the fuck she feels like it.
Shits fucking rigged, move to mixer.
This. Twitch is lacking many features especially for small streamers. You have to be a part of a big paparazzi drama shit to make it to the top.
or as this user pointed out: People are really weak. "Bro I'm not donating to those titty creatures I just watch ironically hehe", no you are earning her views and helping her build autist army.
You need to make a meme/mlg video for Youtube first. After doing a couple of videos that get popular, then you start streaming.
Be really good at a new popular game. Thats literally how twitch works now.
That's good actually. Assuming they're titles that enough people have nostalgia for.
A trick use to be that more people would see your stream if you set your game to "retro" instead of the actual game name, but I feel like enough people have figure out that trick that it isn't necessarily beneficial to get viewers anymore.
I hope you're good enough at the game to do some sort of challenge run. then you can make some pretty clickbait stream titles.
here's how to get famous on twitch/youtube
1. get lucky
2. there is no step 2
i've seen plenty of channels/streams on many topics that have really well produced content but always get fuckall for views because they didn't get lucky
>twitch
>anything but shills that ruin vidya for money
Get a cat.
Honestly, the new twitch meta for success seems to be.
>Stream snipe a popular streamer so much you become a meme/liked by the viewers
>Befriend the Streamer
>Start Streaming and have them promote you
Then just cause drama and get on livestream fails, now you have a consistent 5k+ viewers and 10k "Subpoints" raking in over 100k a year.
Buy a VR set. My VR streams usually get twice the amount of viewers than anything else.
Now if you're questioning the economics behind buying a $1,000 product to get 5 more viewers then you can fuck off.
>Why is my channel not getting views? I talk in the necessary parts, giving very good side notes and trivias about the game all the time, even my webcam is on, designed a professional looking overlay.
Sounds like your content is too good. Instead you should be animated and obnoxious because what sort of loser wants to watch a video game? Viewers want to see YOU, the video game is just some background noise.
Sorry I had to break it to you. Please consider forgetting about being popular and just upload high quality content to youtube so people can see it if they look for it.
This. Now, can we end this episode of 'life problems of a zoomer teenager'?
Also appeal to zoomers
It's not fair bros
>That spine
Looks like she'll be destroyed in no time.
Why the fuck would you ruin you vidya fun by shilling it for stream autist?
>all those clips
jesus christ
Actually I get more hits on my Twitch highlights than on my Youtube vids
But it really isn't an exact comparison because they're actually different videos.
My Twitch has live commentary and my Youtube vids are uploads of higher quality local recordings with no voice over.
>Should I keep accumulating content until it gets attention someday?
No-one's ever going to watch through all your archives unless you go on to be the pope of streaming. In terms of just "past streams of old games" there's so much competing material. Why would they watch your old streams when they could watch someone more popular's streams?
Hang in there.
By my dick?
doing none of those things is how to either be a popular channel or how you get views.
You dont need a cam to be famous. You dont need to give game tips to be famous.
What you DO need though is to
>be the first or one of the first streaming a new game (or update for a game long in production)
>stream regularly at the same time. like if you stream at 3pm be fucking ready to stream EVERY day at 3pm, five or six days a week. if you take a week off you'll lose all your viewers
>have a THEME to your stream. ie: focus on a genre, on game tips, on being just fucking amazing at a game or focus on being bad at a game or funny with friends.
>do it for a long time, like a couple of years. during this time you'll build up your small core of 5-20 die hard fans who'll watch your every single stream
and then from there it's just luck.
PewDiePie got lucky because he got in early.
Ninja got lucky because he just so happened to already have 50 viewers when he started streaming Fortnite and he was the first person really streaming it.
People will generally only check out the top 1-3 streams of whatever game, so if you're one of the hundreds of 0-2 viewers cunts you'll be in it for the long haul.
Either way, you're honestly already years and years too late to the party. Your best bet at this point is to invent a time machine and go back to 2008 and start there.
Lmao why do virgins act like they'd be able to even give a girl an orgasm let alone "destroy" them
What's your channel? I'll tell you what you're doing wrong.
Speedrun record vids
You need to start 5-6 years ago
Begone, retard. No wonder these cunts get views when you exist.
This.
This is also exactly how Pyrion fucking Flax got famous.
He's not famous.
He's not good at games, funny or even likable.
But he's a famous internet/vidya person at this point because he basically leeched his fame by hanging out with other already famous youtubers/streamers like Aruma, Purge, the Yogscast and TB.
Pyrion is the BIGGEST cunt. His stream became popular because of the people he plays with. They're pretty entertaining people.
Then you hear the way he talks to them. He's absolutely fucking abhorrent and talks to people who pay his bills like they're shite.
Plus, he's an alcoholic. No questions about it
>playing what you want and talking about games you love is 'ruining the fun'
lol
you have to build a community elsewhere and bring them to twitch. you cant start from 0.
>But he's a famous internet/vidya person at this point because he basically leeched his fame by hanging out with other already famous youtubers/streamers like Aruma, Purge, the Yogscast and TB.
I have no idea what any of those words means...
>implying thats all you do and your successful on twitch only doing that
at least be honest with yourself user
What are your youtube videos then? Longplays or just showcases of certain tricks and stuff? I can see why the former wouldn't get views but the latter might be worth watching.
If your youtube videos have extensive text descriptions that's preferable in my opinion. Voice commentary is annoying if you're searching for a specific thing or are watching at 2x speed.
How many views on average does your stream get op?
>1. you must be attractive
>2. you must have a fun personlity
hahahah no.
You either get lucky by being the first one to stream a soon to be zoomer fad game or you focus on one game but get really good at it.
Also don't try to be a variety streamer when trying to build a stable viewerbase. Its ok once you got that following going but its shit for when you first start out.
There's literally thousands of other streams just like you that everybody already knows about. No one actually browses for content anymore they just watch their favorite streams and whoever they host.
find a niche and go Balls deep in it
I stream mostly RP servers in various games and while it has not been Fast Growth I have gotten to 7 viewers in about 4 weeks and if I keep at it as I get more 'well known' in said RP communities I will get a small trickle of viewers From people who just want to see more sides of shit that goes on in the servers
If you make the switch later on, it's still going to be painful because your usual viewership will bombard you with "why aren't you playing the game you use to play 100% of the time for the entire previous year?"
It's best to mix some variety nights in right from the get go, that way it's not a surprise.
user, niche is not the solution.
Im very amateur streamer/youtuber and I still makes about ~ 4000$/month so dont give up user and good luck :)
Most people want to watch a combination of a streamer they enjoy, and a game they enjoy watching. If you're a 'variety streamer', go die in a hole. If you don't keep a good schedule, die in a fire. If you can't walk the thin line between interacting chat and being desperate to retain viewers, go fall off a cliff.

>If you're a 'variety streamer', go die in a hole.
I don't see the issue with streaming various content at all, outside of maybe difficulty on the streamer's end to appease a specific audience. I pretty much only watch variety streamers.
>I am a faggot who spams shitty LoL matches 24/7, because variety is shit!
