[00:02] cool blogger or streamer. After all, all of us, one way or another, watch different Media giants. Some like cuttings of game moments or gameplay of eSports athletes, some prefer to watch various kinds of URL content, and

[00:14] some just enjoy the whole Media crowd, and everyone, one way or another, would like to be like them, and I am no exception. One wonderful day, I decided to try myself in the streaming field. I loaded a channel on Twitch, clumsily configured OBS,

[00:28] connected a phone instead of a microphone, and went streaming my favorite game. After 2 hours, the viewer counter became more exciting and still did not overcome the proud value of one viewer. I realized that it was useless to continue this, and that was the end of my experiment.

[00:49] easily? I decided to go all the way and go through I decided to go all the way and go through everything. Five stages of accepting the everything. Five stages of accepting the inevitable.

[01:05] channel. I thought about it. There are definitely some strategies for gaining an audience. There is definitely a plan. How to become popular After all, all these big streamers aren't stupid. For these answers, I went online and invested my knowledge. At first, I read the stories of

[01:18] successful streamers, but almost every one of them was some kind of unusual person: them was some kind of unusual person: one was an eSports athlete, another was a musician, a third was a major moderator, or even a businessman. But I didn't have such

[01:30] introductory information. I need stories of ordinary people, the most ordinary people like me, and after going through a bunch of articles, I found only a couple of interviews in which each streamer stated that you look at the viewer counter, but to gain the first audience, use your

[01:45] own friends, and if there were no particular problems with the first, then with the second. However, we present to you the top three leaders in views on my Twitch channel. Third place is my second account. Without it, ours wouldn't be so

[02:00] exciting. It's for the sake of viewing it that I try to show my emotions as much as possible, and let him not react to this in the chat. I will still be devoted to my loyal viewer. Second place is my classmate and part-time one

[02:13] of my old friends, Alexey. Alexey rarely visits my broadcasts, but when he appears, it's like a ray of sunshine. It lights up my head and I start smiling on streams. First place. My first and most loyal moderator. And also

[02:28] my classmate Artyom, he is the most devoted museum. Hey, when will the stream be? Damn, not a single broadcast takes place without his presence in the chat. He is the one who writes there to create the appearance of activity on the stream. In general, great respect to him

[02:40] now that the first audience has been gained. Let's return to the advice from the Internet. Stream a lot of streams. We often don't pay attention to the Czech viewers' account. Okay, let's say, but still, how will people even find out about my Twitch channel? They are

[02:54] not clairvoyants, fortunately. It was a simple question. A brilliant idea came to my mind. We put the nickname on Steam "ttv regularity" and off we go. Stream after stream. Hour after hour, for the whole second week, and it seems there is even

[03:09] progress. Two weeks of streams and on my channel there is a proud figure of 15 subscribers. So we do the math. If you stream like this for a year, you can get about a thousand But it needs to be spent All free time seems irrational or maybe after all

[03:27] time seems irrational or maybe after all uses it Well it's just stupid to stream with zero viewers in the hope of something How wrong I was Just

[03:42] imagine there are hundreds of pages of streamers with a viewer counter of less than two who stream constantly Or sometimes countless people replace each other trying to get through thorns to the stars and still not

[03:56] understanding that sooner or later their enthusiasm will run out at least run out at least my enthusiasm has definitely run out It's

[04:08] all this you need to look for more profitable strategies And for sure Maybe there are platforms where it's easier to get subscribers Well, for example, YouTube I think each of you has seen videos in the Shorts feed with a link to someone's Twitch channel a person puts up

[04:21] highlights and gets millions of views But how am I any worse I'll create a YouTube and at the same time my Telegram VK group Discord channel I'll start some asset everywhere You see, sooner something A large group of friends will fly into my discord. Everything is decided, I do it,

[04:38] but there is one thing, but after creating a group, it looks plain and empty, just like the discord server, just like my Twitch in general. Well, having gathered all my strength into a fist and pulled out a devil of a simple pictures in Photoshop, we make the first design of the channel. We create an

[04:53] first design of the channel. We create an image for ourselves. From now on, I am the father of streaming, with originality, of course, I have problems. M, well, okay, my discord channel is a community without otso where you can communicate in thematic chats on certain games. VK is filled with

[05:07] stream announcements, and Telegram with my bets and moments from life. Twitch acquired a beautiful design with heroes from the Dota Universe, and I also wrote a bunch of information about myself. I linked all social networks with links, attaching each link to the

[05:19] remaining ones on the YouTube channel. The first videos from my Twitch appeared, and all that was left was to wait, and I didn’t have to wait long. One of the very first videos on YouTube flew in, as many as 8,000 views, it got more than 100 likes, which seemed It would be an

[05:33] unrealistic figure, probably all these people would be interested in me and go to my channel, but when I went there, I saw a pathetic number of 17 followers, number of 17 followers, plus two from the last count. Yes, there

[05:47] was no online in Telegram at all, in VK, one view on all posts. And from YouTube, I got two loyal fans, nothing will help. Why am I doing something wrong? Why is this happening to me? Well, it shouldn't

[06:04] this happening to me? Well, it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be like this. I need to order advertising, but a hole in my finances won't allow me to do this. After all, I'm a

[06:16] student, not a millionaire. I'll try to promote myself in a different way using free methods. Method one: In my favorite game, having studied the field before, I came across a conversation among newbies where a lot of bots spam links to Discord and Twitch channels. Well, let's get

[06:29] started. Open a text file and write a simple AHK script that in AFK mode will spam incredibly invitingly at night and waking up in the morning we

[06:41] find plus five followers on Twitch and seven new Discord users. Friends, this is success. I I found a win-win strategy. I will definitely become popular. Repeating the procedures over and over again, I will reach the cherished goal of 50

[06:54] subscribers and open the Twitch Affiliate program. In short, the Affiliate successes in the form of a three-star average online of fifty followers and a certain number of hours of broadcasting. It gives channel points. This is a

[07:09] thing that is given for watching my streams. For them, each of my viewers can receive certain bonuses on my channel. For example, I made a roulette for a Dota skin, which should directly attract lovers of freebies. Emoticons and

[07:21] stickers are an opportunity to diversify communication in your chat. Paid subscriptions. Well, they are useless because we won’t get money for them anyway, so we’ll allow them. As soon as I reached p followers, the line “ free skins on my Twitch channel”

[07:34] appeared in my updated script. Oh, how I was waiting for this. Well, hold on, my future millions of subscribers. One catch: the number of subscriptions grew very slowly, and A humming computer at night was throwing off my sleep schedule,

[07:49] plus I had to constantly stream so that these viewers wouldn't since my decency had fallen below the acceptable level. The

[08:01] acceptable level. The end of the second method: spam in publics. fake Telegram, I started talking about spam comments in popular publics. Drop the same excellent speeches as in the previous method, but unfortunately, for

[08:13] me, the blocking arrived even faster. And the number of followers only changed by one, and this method is a minus. I don't this method is a minus. I don't recommend the third method: mutual

[08:25] subscriptions. I think you've often encountered small channels that are ready to do anything to get subscribed to them. The easiest option is, of course, subscribing to each other. In the page of streamers with less than two viewers, go to the active stream and write in the chat

[08:38] about a mutual subscription. Everything is cool, but in this method, it turns out that you need to work. Hmm, it's not right. It's not for nothing that I was engaged in programming. Open my favorite HC and start writing an automatic script. Let it open all the tabs for me.

[08:51] Writes Subscribes for me, does everything for me, the script is ready, great. We test it and Wow, look what happened. I'm on the list of streamers with a three-digit number of subscribers, and with my head held high, mind you, without any

[09:04] cheating. By the way, about cheating, this is the fourth method, but I don't recommend it user appears who advertises one of these damn services, but they often cheat you with bots, for which you will soon get

[09:17] banned. Or you will watch this very ridiculously with a thousand subscribers, zero online and zero activity in the chat. Well, to summarize, I can say that the third method turned out to be more effective than the others, however, Twitch put a

[09:30] fake account, stopping my progress fake account, stopping my progress at 130 followers, not a lot, not a

[09:47] blogger. Why am I even trying to do anything? It's a waste of time, exactly with that motto. I I reached this stage on my YouTube channel, 19 subscribers. Twitch, although it shone with 130 followers, was quite

[10:03] inactive. Discord channel is weak. Signs of life with 90 people on the counter, and the one appears there. What to do next, I don’t know.

[10:16] The dream is still there, but maybe I should just take and quit everything. But letting go of the dream means quit everything. But letting go of the dream means betraying myself, but maybe it’s still worth it.

[10:28] betraying myself, but maybe it’s still worth it. myself. Well, not for the sake of fame. Maybe it will come to me itself. It’s not difficult for me to put together a stream for five or six viewers a couple of times a week, just play any games with

[10:42] a few ruble donations appear on the streams, which dilute my leisure time. I will the hope that someday they will fly. Maybe I ’ll edit Edits. Or maybe large videos like this one. Admit it, you watched this far. If so, then subscribe to this

[10:58] channel, and eight, one day I will become popular and you will stand. Remember, it's never too late to believe in your dreams and achieve your goals. This applies not only to streaming, but to your life in general. Thank you for watching.

[11:12] Thank you for watching. Guri and his
