[00:02] Hello everyone. I bet popular TikTok streamers while scrolling through your regular TikTok feed full of funny videos. So, I've been interested in this topic of TikTok streams for quite some time now. I was interested in how big an audience I

[00:14] could build through these streams and, most importantly, how much money I could make. I decided to try 7 days of Fortnite gaming streams. But if you streaming on TikTok, you can choose your favorite game to make the

[00:29] worth noting that I'm not new to TikTok. I already have an audience of over some kind of boost in the beginning . Let me

[00:44] donation alert to my stream, so the only way to make money from my stream is through TikTok gifts. But if you suddenly decide to start streaming, I still recommend enabling donations. I did my first stream for this challenge on

[00:56] July 18th, and I didn't really expect this result. The average number of viewers was 45, and the maximum was 93. I got 25 diamonds for this stream, which seems like a lot, but in reality it's only

[01:09] 10 cents. Here I have Ryzen 7 5700 X3D and 4060, in short. Wow, thanks for the gift.

[01:21] And yes, I recommend all aspiring streamers set up a gift alert in TikTok L Studio so they don't miss out. That same day, I decided to launch another stream, but this time with friends. On this stream the stats remained about the same,

[01:34] but they gave me 19 diamonds, which is about 7 cents.

[01:47] Thank you. That's where the first two streams ended. first two streams ended. In total, I earned 17 cents for the day.

[02:00] about 140 new subscribers, which could help me with my online presence in the coming days. At least that's what it seemed to me. But the second day of streaming didn't go as smoothly as the first, as only one person subscribed to me, and the average

[02:13] online audience was only six viewers. There's also trouble with gifts. For this stream I was given only two diamonds, which is less than 1 cent. Actually, I have an idea why this happened. I spent a lot less time interacting with

[02:25] the chat on this stream. Because of this, the average viewing time dropped by half, and the stream was not promoted in recommendations. But this is not a reason to be upset; on the contrary, it is a reason to be upset; on the contrary, it is a reason to improve the quality of your content. The

[02:42] successful days of the entire week. Of course, the average online is still a bit small, but the amount of diamonds given to me makes up for it. On this day I was given 208 diamonds, which is equivalent to approximately 83 cents.

[02:56] approximately 83 cents. Milhunter, thanks for 15 ro, Milhan, also got 13 subscribers for the stream , which isn't too bad. This stream turned out pretty good because I spent a lot more time in the chat

[03:09] than on the second day. So, the main thing to remember is that communication with your viewers is the remember is that communication with your viewers is the most important thing during your stream.

[03:22] stream ever. It lasted 3/2 hours. But the statistics on this stream are quite sad. The average online audience for this stream was 13 people, and they only gave me two diamonds, which is less than 1 cent. I'm a little happy that

[03:37] 35 people subscribed to my stream. I don't really know why this stream was such a failure. My only guess is that the stream turned out to be quite long. Maybe TikTok just didn't like it.

[03:49] TikTok just didn't like it. [music] the situation normalized a little. The average number of viewers was 17 people, and I received gifts worth 44 diamonds, which is about 17

[04:03] cents. Yes, really. Oh, Bublik, thank you for the gifts. Oh, Bublik, that's tough. Thank you. Thank you Oh, Bublik, that's tough. Thank you. Thank you for the hearts too. It will push easier

[04:21] [snorts] Seagull. I have two, damn it. By this day, I had already formed a small audience of several people who regularly visited my streams. Also, 54 more people subscribed to me for this stream

[04:33] , which is also pleasing. sixth day of streams. The statistics remained at approximately the same level. However,

[04:46] I didn't receive a single gift for the stream. The only thing that can make me happy is that The only thing that can make me happy is that not bad. I only have hope for the last day of streams, so

[04:58] for the last day of streams, so I suggest we move on to that. not much different from the previous one. The maximum number of people online during the stream was 35, and I received gifts worth 11 stars, which is equivalent to about four

[05:13] cents. Also, 15 new people subscribed to me during this stream . That's the end of my seventh stream, so I suggest we move on to the results, where I'll tell you how much I earned in total and what streaming tips I've found along the

[05:25] what streaming tips I've found along the way. earned a whole dollar and 39 cents. I also gained 198 new subscribers to my account . For some, these numbers

[05:40] may seem ridiculous, but in fact, if you enable donation alerts and add various interactive features for viewers that will motivate them [clears throat] be increased more than 100 times. The main thing in this matter is not

[05:52] to give up and create quality content. The key word here is quality, because if you have a bad microphone, a blurry webcam, and a laggy PC, then no one will want to watch you. Also, if you decide to start streaming, I

[06:05] advise you to adhere to these main rules. Don't be silent, because what viewer would enjoy watching a silent streamer play? Don't be shy, try to make jokes and entertain your viewers in every possible way , even if it's a little

[06:17] cringe-worthy. And most importantly, always read the chat and talk to viewers. By following these rules and not giving up, you will definitely achieve success. I hope I helped someone become that popular
