## Transcript

0.65% of streamers have an audience larger than 25 people? This happens because most simply don't know what to do to succeed. So, by the end of this video, I'll show you several simple things that will make you grow
much faster and without suffering like more than 99% of streamers. Okay? But then, what's the best way to grow even with zero followers? One thing I see happening a lot is people starting to stream everything. One day
they play MMO RPGs, the next they're playing racing games, one day they play Call of Duty, the next they're playing Star Valley, and that's bad because, although they are all games, they are different. everyone will like
give some examples, Gulis started making content about CS: gameplay, championship narrations, news, community events, all related to Counter-Strike. But even having one game as a focus, he is also able to attract an
audience playing other games. Ioda is another example; he started playing League of Legends, became a professional player, won championships, etc., but today it's common for him to bring varied games, and I could go on for hours here.
To give some examples, I understand that maybe you like a lot of things and it's hard to know what the audience will be interested in. So, if you like several games, choose those that have a similar style, for example,
platform games, story-driven shooters, survival games. It doesn't have to be just one game; what matters is that among all the things you like, you choose one and focus on it. Because if you like something, you can be sure
that there are at least 1 million people who like the same thing. And all those games different from the ones you chose to create content about, you can simply play when you're not streaming. And then, over time,
you'll diversify your content. That's what the vast majority of streamers who are giants today started by doing. Another thing that helps you grow much faster is thinking about what you can do
differently, even if you only play one game. For example, let's suppose you create Pokémon content. Instead of simply opening the live stream and playing like most people, you can bring some crazy challenges or anything
different, even something simple, because this helps you stand out from the majority and makes it much easier to attract attention to your content. The next one is something that, if I had understood it sooner, many things would be
show you so you don't have to face the same difficulties I did. But before that, I want to introduce you to One Pro. One Pro is great for those who want to have a professional live stream because they have over 600
overlay alerts that you can change at will. They have various styles, some more focused on specific games like Fortnite or Call of Duty. And besides that, they have a huge library of royalty-free music that you can listen to on your
live stream without any problems. They have music of various styles, and you can even create your own playlists. And if you click on the link now, you'll have access to five free overlays to test. So go to the link in the
description and up here, and there's a One Pro. I imagine you know that Twitch is very good for live streaming, but it's terrible for attracting an audience to your stream. And it makes me sad to see people who are there streaming
every day to two or three people ( personal experience). But it would be so good if there was a way to get an audience.  It would be faster and easier, even
when our live stream is offline, to have a bunch of people watching every time we opened it, and to even be able to make money without even doing a live stream. How great would that be? You know what's best? This exists, but
most people still prefer to keep suffering, doing live streams for bots and for Aunt messaging on WhatsApp. And if you're doing something similar, you need to understand that the best way to bring an audience to your live stream is by creating
content on other platforms, especially YouTube. But if you don't know much about making YouTube videos, start by making short videos in vertical format because they are much easier to produce and edit, and you
develop your skills much faster. Oh, so it's just a matter of taking clips from Twitch and posting them on YouTube, right? If it were that simple, everyone would be huge on Twitch. Besides, contrary to what most people believe, this is much more
difficult and takes much more work to grow because simply taking clips problems. The first is that if you simply post the clips without editing, you channel because the audience isn't...  The second reason is that this way you don't
learn how to create content. So instead of simply grabbing clips from Twitch and posting them on YouTube, plan your videos. I swear to you it will be much less work and much more effective to plan and make one
good video than to post 50 so- so videos. To start, think of ideas that might be interesting to your audience. " But where am I going to get ideas?" A very simple place to find ideas, and that every content creator, including
Mr. Beast, uses, is in other creators' content. Watch other people's videos, see what's working, and do the same thing, but in your own way. There's nothing wrong with copying to learn because just by putting your own spin on it,
the video will be completely different. The real problem is copying for the sake of copying and not learning anything. News sites, TV programs, movies, and series are also great places to find inspiration for your content.
To make your video more interesting, start it with an intriguing question. For example, "Did you know it's possible to defeat the monster using a Metapod?" your video to stop and pay attention.
Or you can start with a challenge.  It's fun! I tried to defeat the strongest Pokémon using Metapod. These two are tricks that people use a lot to grab attention in the first few seconds, but there are many
others. If you're interested in me making a video about this topic, comment below. After that, remove everything that's not needed in your video, like stuttering, silence, etc. Oh, and in your video, like stuttering, silence, etc. Oh, and use some effects, add
animated subtitles to make the video more dynamic. If you're not very good at editing, start by using a program like CapCut, which is simpler and has a lot of features, not to mention it's free and available for PC and mobile. Focus on
keeping your content direct and interesting. Your main goal is to get people to watch as long as possible, preferably until the end, because that way YouTube understands that your video is good, recommends it to more
people, and consequently you grow faster. The problem is that some faster but do things wrong, like following other channels so they'll follow back, opening multiple tabs with other streamers and asking people to
do the same, or using platforms that inflate channel numbers. Guys, I guarantee you nothing will work.  This doesn't work because I've tested it myself and it only served to waste time. Instead, it's much better to focus on evolving, improving our
content, and giving people real reasons to watch what we do, keep coming back, and recommend our channel to others. So don't make the same mistakes I made because it took me a long time to
understand that one of the biggest secrets to growing our live audience is while we're offline. Don't get stuck creating content for 50 social networks – one for live streaming, another for videos, and that's it. You don't need more than
videos, and that's it. You don't need more than that. And nowadays, besides everything else, multistreaming, which is doing live streams on several platforms at the same time. This helps grow faster without spending more energy and also makes it easier for the
watch in a place they don't like or switch from one platform to another. And another thing I did wrong, and I see many people doing, let's think about this: What are the things everyone remembers when we
talk about Silvio Santos? Probably his way of speaking, his derrière, the microphone on his lapel, and Ana Maria Braga... Remember Louro José's laugh, who is now Louro Jorge F? Leave a like if you like Louro José, otherwise tomorrow
you'll wake up with Ana Maria Braga's hair! And everyone who's famous people whose names we don't remember but we remember some characteristic, and for us streamers it's the same thing. So if you're
strange, you have something different. Congratulations, you already have 90% of everything you need to succeed as a streamer, so don't be ashamed of conventional for fear of people finding you strange. Instead, take what makes
because that's what makes people remember you and makes you stand out. Oh, and if you want to stand out even more, subscribe to the channel. There's another thing you should do: the opposite of most streamers abroad, since people
have been creating content for a long time, it's very clear how they have much more know-how to grow quickly. People in the music industry here in Brazil do the same thing, especially those in sertanejo music, which is all about collaborations.  This means
creating content with other people who create the same type of content, and it's something you rarely see Brazilian streamers doing, especially those who are just starting out, who need collaboration the most. Collaboration has several advantages,
some of which are: you get the opportunity to reach a different audience, increase your relevance, and make friends with other streamers. Remember that the streaming scene is still in its infancy, so making friends with other streamers is extremely
important right now. The worst thing is when you're streaming and constantly anxiously checking the viewership, waiting for someone to join, receive a hide, or get a donation. Gradually, this
makes you stop enjoying your stream and start doing things in a forced way, and the viewers notice. That's why it's important to keep in mind that important to keep in mind that your content outside of live streams is more
than enough to attract an audience, generate income, and bring you many opportunities. So, if you do it this way, you'll grow much faster, suffer much less, and enjoy your live streams much more.
You might even be hindering your channel's growth simply because you have the wrong settings, and if you don't I'll show you how, so that's it, hugs
hugs and see you in March.
