[00:02] streaming career this year, I would do what I 'm about to tell you. These are four simple tips that will make your life as a streamer much easier, and in fact, the last tip is something I never thought I'd tell you. For those who don't know me, I
[00:16] 'm Yayas, and you might be wondering why you should watch my video. Just like you, I also wanted to be a streamer for a long time, and I was one for a long time. I got Twitch Partner status in four months, averaged almost two viewers per
[00:30] stream, won a Twitch Rivals event, and generated almost $1000 a month streaming. Maybe I was never the hottest streamer with over 1,000 viewers per stream, but take the time to try and
[00:45] tip in this video, which is a bit intense. Hold on tight! If you're not making money streaming, stop spending so much time on streams. Streaming should never be your priority
[00:59] unless you make a living from it, right? It might sound kind of silly to say that to be a better streamer or to do better in  You have to stop streaming so much, but unfortunately, that's the reality. It's very difficult for people to find you
[01:13] live while you're playing if they don't know how to find you. It's like trying to give a concert without advertising; how do you expect people to know you're going to play? It's a very bad idea to believe that the more time you spend live, the
[01:26] more likely you are to be seen. Thinking like that is like believing that all your problems will be solved the day you win the lottery. If I had to start over online and wanted to be a streamer, I would only stream
[01:40] to record content that I would edit later to upload to YouTube. In other words, I wouldn't stream thinking, "I hope something funny happens today so I can have a video." As I said, I would do the exact opposite. I would only go
[01:55] live when I have something planned and ready to be recorded. Which brings us to the help you a lot if you're just starting out: focus on fewer platforms. I know beforehand that it's a very good
[02:09] idea to try to be on all possible platforms since the easier it is for people to find your content, the better, but this can be quite overwhelming. If I should  Making YouTube videos,
[02:22] TikTok videos, Instagram photos, posting stories, and all that stuff... so if you're just starting out and don't want to die of stress, I'd recommend focusing on these three social media platforms.
[02:35] You can literally upload the same content to all of them: YouTube Short Reels and TikTok. Yes, in that order. But listen carefully. I'm telling you that these three are the easiest to start with, not to be your only or
[02:51] main content. I understand that most people who start creating content focus a lot on creating only short content because it's easier than making a long video. I totally understand that, but as Alex said in
[03:06] his last video, the best results don't come from minimal effort. But I do believe that almost everything you need to learn to be a good streamer or a good content creator in general, you'll learn through practice. And
[03:21] honestly, I think this type of short content will be very kind to you and will give you a lot of feedback, and you'll learn a ton. But remember, do n't stop there. This is just one step in your career as a streamer or
[03:34] content creator.  It's true that becoming a streamer is getting more complicated, because there are more and more people wanting to do the same thing. But it's also easier than before. When I started streaming, there weren't
[03:49] sites like Nexus Clips, which is literally a tool that creates clips for you of your best moments while you're live, so you can simply download them and upload them to your social media. Or
[04:01] sites like Owen 3D, which has tons of ready-made designs, a tool for creating emotes to make you look like a professional streamer, and basically everything you need to look good. What I'm trying to say is
[04:16] that there are more and more tools that make the job easier, and that's why my third piece of advice is to use the tools that are available. Don't limit yourself to just streaming and that's it. Look for sites, tools, and tutorials
[04:31] that help you create content while you 're live. In fact, the mere fact that you're watching this video is much better than just starting to stream, because you can. Which brings us to the fourth and one of the most
[04:46] important pieces of advice in this video: value watching your streams. Even the most popular streamers of the moment always...  They're inventing new series and events to try and add some value to their streams, so why aren't you doing anything? I mean, I'm not saying you should just
[05:02] copy their ideas and do the exact same thing. You can try to do more unique things. What I'm saying is that your streams should have a reason to be watched: trying to win an Apex Legends match with one hand live,
[05:15] drawing everything my live chat asks for, trying to beat God of War on the highest difficulty live, playing Minecraft but not being able to jump live. We can get a lot of ideas from live streams like that. I'm talking about not just
[05:30] sitting down to stream because you can or because you were bored. You have a reason why you're streaming. If you give
[05:42] give you a chance. And now for the last piece of advice in this the last piece of advice in this video, the one I never thought I'd tell you: Multistream. I know I've often recommended against it, but times
[05:56] have changed. There are now too many competitive streaming platforms, so Twitch is no longer the only or the best place to stream. In my opinion, if you'd like to have the opportunity...  To get
[06:10] more viewers when you're live, stream on TikTok and Twitch, or stream on TikTok and YouTube. It doesn't matter which is your main streaming platform, but share it with TikTok. The advantage of TikTok is that your
[06:25] recommended. The only downside is that the recommendations are very random; people arrive very randomly. But if, in those few seconds when people stumble upon your stream, they find something unique, fun, or different to watch, they'll
[06:41] most likely tune in. I 'm not a big fan of TikTok, as it's my least favorite platform because you can't build a community since your content is always shown to
[06:54] very random people. The only thing I can tell you is to take advantage of this as much as possible. And before we go, I'll tell you the secret to getting TikTok to recommend your streams more: if you stream on TikTok from your phone, it will recommend you more.
[07:09] I think that's why there aren't as many streams from people pretending to be NPCs, because if you...  Streaming using the TikTok Live Studio app from your computer will get you fewer recommendations. And if you stream directly
[07:23] fewer recommendations. And if you stream directly from OBS to TikTok, it will get even fewer recommendations. I imagine they do this to encourage people to always use the TikTok app, so use
[07:36] this trick however you want and to your advantage. Remember that in the description of this video you can find my page of royalty-free music for streamers and YouTubers. And if you're going to start streaming, I recommend watching this
