[02:42] content first you should make sure that you have equipment good enough to stream not go out and buy thousands of dollars worth of equipment for streaming if you top of the line or even good equipment in the early stages it is okay and
[02:55] focusing on upgrading your equipment that is extremely important so I'm going to repeat that it is okay and encouraged to focus on growing before focusing on important that your upgrades keep up with the influx of new viewers because
[03:07] leaving because of poor quality there's a perfect balance but let me give you streaming without a FaceCam can actually be a good thing because you're building anticipation for the day you finally reveal your face too even extremely poor
[03:19] audio mixing software such as voicemeeter banana stream and post my videos you know that streaming regularly is extremely important because between you and your viewers so they know exactly when they can expect you
[03:32] they can expect you you're that much more likely to have viewers as soon as you go live not only should you be streaming regularly but posting content more so all of these other social media algorithms will reward you if you are
[03:45] about creating high quality content is having an image slash character I don't mock turtleneck like Dr disrespect however what I mean is every moment of entertaining if you are playing said character like I said before you don't
[03:59] entirely based on voice but it will give your viewers a reason to keep watching stay entertaining throughout the entirety of your stream because you have a character to fall back on step number four you need to build an engaging
[04:11] community is social media this is because twitch nor Kik has any form of never put viewers in front of your stream so you have to take that action social media Pages such as YouTube Instagram or Facebook will expose you to
[04:25] are only focused on streaming you will not be exposed to any potential viewers should be collaborating with other streamers within your Niche to cross promote each other's channels and reach a wider audience even if you have zero
[04:37] with zero viewers and stream together at the very least both of you will be providing that much more entertaining content for clips and then you could use of that many more potential viewers another huge tool that you could use to
[04:49] because of its stream integration features Discord is the number one place to drive people to your streams the way Discord works is everyone in a shared Twitch and can easily be directed to your stream so with that in mind you
[05:01] Discord servers as possible and do your best to make a name for yourself inside this Discord is only for members who are part of my management program however full of multiple streamers helping each other improve one another's algorithm
[05:15] involved something that is extremely important with building a community is inclusive chat environment by engaging with your viewers responding to messages and acknowledging their support not only should you answer their questions but
[05:28] this will make them feel as if they are more than just some average viewer you single new follower and subscriber that you get not only will it make that encourage others that are watching to do the same your goal should not be
[05:41] first because this is nearly impossible alone instead your goal should be to platforms because these platforms have an algorithm to take advantage of once be that much easier to drive this traffic to Twitch kick step number five
[05:55] you need to utilize twitch features and create a growth strategy while twitch it does have some features that you could use to your growth Advantage first there's a couple different things that you could do with rates to bring
[06:07] you are ending you should always rate another streamer because it will serve important that you rate another streamer with more viewers than you but not a super unrealistic amount if you average five or less viewers raid someone with
[06:19] so viewers raid someone with 40 or so viewers and so on raiding is only the leave your computer it won't do much if anything for your channel what you interact with the streamer that you rated as well as their chat if you
[06:33] of your community to talk to which will encourage others to want to be a part of Chatters you could still use this opportunity to showcase your other viewers a reason to want to check out your next stream it is extremely
[06:47] Bunch if anything about your streams directly because it will seem like be genuine which will lead to more growth and you will not leave anyone if that makes sense another approach you can take with rating is getting a group
[07:00] creating a schedule where you can all raid each other before ending that way building a collective Community which will all help everyone's personal stream that many more people this is exactly why I strongly encourage everyone in my
[07:14] other but to support each other across all platforms that way each algorithm is more people another twitch feature that should never be overlooked is channel points these are fully customizable by you as a streamer and opens the door for
[07:27] but it gives the viewers the chance to interact with your streams directly Impression versus just simply chatting with you this will also encourage people to be more of a loyal viewer and this will lead to the development of a more
[07:40] want more Channel points for more higher rewards to be able to interact with your tool that you need to be using after every stream is analytics regularly help you identify areas for improvement as well as see what content holds the
[07:55] audience you should be constantly experimenting with new content ideas stream formats and interactive features to keep your channel fresh and engaging your specific Channel and Niche you will be able to focus on that type of content
