Consistent schedule for uploading/streaming.

Focus on quality content/retaining viewers

Collaborate with other content creators in the same genre

Don’t sexually harass fans/don’t send creepy or cringe dms

Keep your grades up.

Get half decent audio equipment. Doesn’t need to be the most expensive (quality content can make up for this short-term but not for long)

Usually for earlier channels, it’s easier to make better content with a partner/small group until you find your personality.

Titles and thumbnails matter more than you think.

Don’t force it, but keep an eye out for clippable moments and share them where they would be relevant. Make sure to link the channel.

I have no idea.

I started out playing a star wars dogfighting game, and just started using twitch to record my matches so I could analyze and improve my dogfighting.

Most watchers I ever got was 7.

Now, 2.5 years later, that game is dead (which sucks because it’s fucking awesome) and I play other stuff, and I have exactly one fan who sometimes shows up.

I have maybe twenty followers, but apparently only one of them still likes watching me.

And that one is plenty for me. I literally just like the fact that someone is watching me game.

My channel doesn’t include talking at all. All I do is play games. I do that because I’ve always wanted to see gameplay videos of games to see whether I’d like to play, and you can only find videos with some dude babbling constantly over it.
