[00:52] him and he did yesterday two days ago two days ago oh there it is right there two days ago he did a stream on how to be a big streamer he said it was
[01:05] but considering how fast he's growing i want to give him the benefit of the down what he's talking about also since his main area of growth has been over
[01:18] on advice given by big streamers before and how it's usually pretty bad seven years ago right growing today on twitch it's a completely different area
[01:33] and ludwig is a massive streamer i believe top 100 into it let's just see if it's any good all the knowledge i have rolled up into
[01:45] called how to make it big as a streamer why listen to me growth ah music wait is this copyright free music
[02:01] not flexing i think i think that music is okay to put in like this credentials are important this is his
[02:14] big though i don't think people realize it's not just about the amount of viewers he has or the large numbers he has this is the most again there are a lot of big streamers giving advice
[02:30] for you know when they grew back seven years ago and twitch was a completely different platform or even four years ago this was all in the past two years so important this is the absolute first
[02:42] question you need to ask yourself do you want to be a streamer streamer are you kidding me i play video game make millions of
[02:56] you said it to yourself or you voted whatever it is you need to do this right now write this down three things
[03:08] set a hard start date when you're actually going to start if you've start your youtube or uh start a new series or whatever it is
[03:22] saying you're gonna do number two write your goals for one year maybe a few months it doesn't really matter all you need to do
[03:37] is have a set period of time and goals you would like to achieve everything figured out at least write something down that you would like and this will come up a little bit later three to five creators
[03:53] you want to emulate so far so far i think this is the best actually like actionable things you can do i'm going to start on this date so
[04:05] your goals goals are super important goals allow you to start moving forward is a big deal i have those myself as well
[04:18] and inspiration from is a big deal there's one there's one thing that i feel like this mist because i feel like a lot of this is direction if i could add like one more thing to this list
[04:35] i would say figure out what type of content you want to make like have some kind of basic idea whether that be play-throughs creativity or art like photography i would i would put on here if i were
[04:52] making this list a basic idea of what kind of change multiple times in the future but these are going to be very overwhelming if you don't figure out what you're
[05:07] advice i want to see what kind of goals he talks about because i think this is a here's an example of mine oh there we go i've done this i know i'm being a bit
[05:21] i wrote down all my goals i didn't actually just do it for stream i did it thing i'm disagreeing with so far i'm not saying there's anything wrong but when i encourage people to set goals there's something that
[05:38] the majority of people do wrong and that is they set goals that rely on other that you are in 100 control of but when you set goals like uh you know being able to go full time which means you need a certain amount of
[05:55] money those things are very much they require a third party right they require someone to subscribe to you they require someone so that you can quit your job you're not 100 in control of those goals
[06:11] i would encourage to set goals like post so many videos a week stream so many days a week learn a certain skill by this point by content to figure out who i want to be on the internet all
[06:27] those goals are entirely accomplishable even if nobody else hits the follow like who he looked at and who he wanted to emulate mkbhd uh maybe a little bit of casey neistat and nadeshot like for me those
[06:46] those really fill out the space of the different things that i want to do kind of video i should post next i'll go and watch or i'll go through their uploaded videos and see if any of them spark any
[07:01] this is the number one best thing you can do if you want to bake it big on twitch
[07:18] quit quit right now that is my advice to you i should be watching this guy more i
[07:30] don't know how to say this the right way every industry needs a jerk i've said if you don't write write down what i'm saying you should quit but the the principle still stands and i i appreciate uh
[07:45] i appreciate that he's willing to say this i've i've placed myself in a role possible uh because who knows maybe there's someone who's on the verge of the idea of if you're not like if you want to be a content creator
[08:00] the one of the most difficult jobs to actually accomplish such a small fraction of people actually succeed and you're not even willing to do this bare minimum it's not for you it's not for you and the the principle
[08:12] itself is true and so i i appreciate them pointing this hours i work so this is what 50 to 55 hours a week that's actually really away with 50 55 hours a week so good for him for being as efficient
[08:31] almost tweeted yesterday that's like it's really cool being a content creator as long as you schedule every single waking hour that you're alive
[08:44] of people realize every minute you're not working someone else is and that person is passing you if you're brain at all times how do you do it how do you
[09:00] advice streams are recordings that's what it is in 2021 that is the best way you can think about a twitch stream youtube
[09:12] videos have some pros that normal streams conventional streams don't a youtube video can pop off a stream can't really pop off see this is why i brought up that it's super important that he grew
[09:27] in the last two years ludwig understands growth in the modern era of live streaming that there is zero discoverability when it doesn't matter how many hours you're live nobody is browsing
[09:42] all the way down 300 people a thousand people down on a list and immediately the first slide talks about youtube videos versus being live let's keep listening because there is no
[09:58] and nobody is digging through the five thousand zero viewer andes one viewer andy's on the just chatting section so you won't find me so that's why
[10:10] it's just a fact that vods are absolutely terrible on twitch and i means that even if it doesn't do well in the first month maybe a month or two
[10:22] oh this video actually did well i think he's going to talk about something that this channel i've done it a couple times but he's talking about how your streams can be used for youtube content which is is a
[10:37] shouldn't do twitch highlights but instead your youtube content should be original content but there's another way that you can do this which is streaming your content and planning your
[10:51] live content around making youtube videos out of it later he higher low is but he streamed he planned this whole stream around the idea the plan to cut it down and post it on youtube later because he
[11:08] understands that you can make good youtube content out of live work 55 60 hours a week and still make good youtube consistent youtube and
[11:20] lots of live streaming content because he plans his streams around future youtube videos in order to appeal to all these mechanisms and and algorithms that in just help you grow so much and then
[11:34] like i said earlier if you upload a youtube video it has a chance to pop off to have that chance to blow up i was wondering what he meant by
[11:47] youtube is i feel like it's much a much less of a gamble than twitch is but what he's saying is that every time you upload a youtube algorithm will love there are hints and you can appeal to it
[12:03] but he's saying that every single video you post is another chance for a video exactly what my channel was in the very beginning i posted a ton of videos and then one finally took off and weirdly enough
[12:17] after that one took off a video i posted about two months prior so he's 100 right about this as you post content and as you work on your titles
[12:29] that's the video we're gonna push today and that starts your career nobody just youtube can happen overnight i mean literally overnight you can blow
[12:44] what's interesting is that how when he's talking about uh all these people are like no what about this person who blew up what about someone said corpse do you not know how many subscribers corpse has on youtube
[12:59] twitch so fast it's because of the following he already had how much he blew up on youtube and spotify he's 100 right collaboration is probably one of the best ways to grow
[13:14] i am not dumb i am not oblivious to the fact i somewhat disagree but it's much more nuanced than that
[13:26] and especially if you consider hosts and raids a collab um i think people get the wrong idea about collabs and place way too much emphasis that's why you get a bajillion small streamers tweeting at
[13:42] collaborating with them is going to blow them up collabs like yes you also have to be good you it's not as easy as just streaming with someone because i promise you i've
[13:58] who have 15 viewers when we started and have 15 viewers now you host a 20 viewer the content for it you look back a month later still a 20 viewer andy okay okay so he clarified a little bit and i still think
[14:13] nothing but exposure and then after you get the after that your content keeps people there however i feel like
[14:26] his view of collabs is kind of narrow considering his content has always been very interesting and unique i see a lot of people collab all the time i see big pubg streamers with you know 2 000 3 000 viewers stream with
[14:41] medium sized ones with you know maybe 300 to 400 viewers and they play almost every day together they're both pub g creators but that three to four get a raid and then the next stream they're back down to the three to four
[14:55] there's cross-pollination while also being different enough that they they stand on their own so it's it's much more nuanced than just play with people have content you grow raisin hosts unless you're big enough to
[15:09] like outside traction can also bring you uh rage and host do absolutely nothing what do you stream this is a very basic number one question maybe the number one question that i see
[15:26] is what do you stream ludwig yeah i do i get that question a lot stream a small game that doesn't have as many viewers but answer is always that's completely irrelevant so let's see what he says
[15:41] too much because as long as you are doing then what you stream isn't as important you know what i mean because you can
[15:56] really make anything work but there is one thing that i've done that will always work it's tried and true this is the number one thing you need to stream to make a pig
[16:09] the yoink and twist baby what everybody else is doing that's right yes yes you do not have to re there's a soda popping did a few years ago shopping for a thousand dollars you know
[16:25] he would do in this this video okay so he's saying take ideas which was kind of covered earlier when he mentioned when you look at content you look up to and you want to make content like them
[16:41] uh you can get ideas from them and you can turn it into your own content which is 100 valid it is it should be the largest source of inspiration for your content other people
[16:53] who have done something that work that you can put your own spin or i guess on now this is 100 true so he's saying you got the the stream idea the video idea and then he adjusted the idea
[17:07] i'm assuming he was saying he got the thumbnail idea his video which has almost 600 thousand views
[17:19] now 100 percent absolutely do this if you want to make it big on twitch if you want to be a bigger streamer than me you're just starting out you simply have to be better you have to be a better streamer than i am brilliant
[17:34] can not you need to do it better than me if you hope to get bigger the it's 100 true it's 100 true also there's too many people just sitting there streaming zone and the bottom line is you will
[17:47] than shroud if that's your main draw people are everybody else at least at one thing if you can figure out how to be better than
[18:01] that make you fun and unique that is how you go to the top you don't make a living doing that you don't have to be the best but if you want to be at the top you have to do that
[18:16] and the closer you get to being better than everyone else with someone the not the guy for it it's things like what mic do i use when well just go to alpha gaming on youtube that's the one place i've seen
[18:33] i've watched it the guy knows what he's talking about he's if you ever want to know the specifics of weird streaming stuff that's your guy what a nice guy totally your guy
[18:48] uh i'm not the best guy for that no big streamer is because it's pretty basic info and
[19:08] is [Music]
[19:20] [Music] you
