Hi everyone.

I've been lacking when it comes to IM in the last few months (kinda years as well). I've been heavily doing SEO with CPA and affiliate things but I stopped once I found a nice paying job that gave me a bit more freedom. So now, I am craving something else and with the current situation, lock downs and home office, I have some extra time so I started streaming. Let me explain a few things.

Why Twitch?

I really like playing games and I like to talk. I heard a few times from other people that they enjoy talking to me and that my voice is nice to listen to. Honestly, I am not sure about the last part as you know, when you hear your voice on video you are like: "what the fuck?" so there's that.
Another good things is that I will be able to combine my love for playing games with streaming and make some money on the way.

Goals

The goal is to make money. I would like to make around $300 a month with this with subscriptions, tips and bits. It's going to be a long way until I reach that, a very long way. But honestly the main goal of this is, to make money of course, but I want to be sponsored by different companies, paid to play some games for a few hours. That way I don't need to rely on people to give me money that much. I will write more goals later on, but there is lots of different way to make money on Twitch but I would really like to focus on sponsorships as they can be very different - Amazon promoted their show The Boys by paying streamers to watch first 3 episodes, paid to play games, paid to promote Gfuel and similar products, paid to watch trailer, paid to promote different apps/programs... lots of ways to get paid.

Important details regarding the journey

I will not be buying followers or viewers. I will try to promote myself on different social media websites and try to grow. I will be transparent about this and write most of the stuff that I'm doing, of course, I will not write every single detail.
Next, I will not be providing the exact numbers just to prevent all of you from finding my channel and trolling. I would love to get a few follows from you guys but I won't want to get trollers that will leak my channel and troll me while I play (although a simple ban would suffice). I will write that I got 5-8 followers today so it's not that easy to track me down.

Alright, the first update coming later today! I already streamed a few times and I have been streaming for maybe a week know.

Aaaaaaand yes, I know that my chances of becoming a 100 viewers streamer are very, very low. But as any journey, I will either succeed or I will fail. And I am 100% ready for both. I do not expect to make money right away, I do not expect to have even 10 viewers any time soon.

With all this being said, let's start this thing.

Thanks, I just did that before opening a thread! And I'll see if there is anything else interesting there, thanks!

Here are some updates.

This is the first week of streaming.

And this is the second week of streaming. I got 20+ followers, a lot more messages and over 3,000 minutes watched. Of course, this includes me as well.

Currently sitting at 30+ followers and the only thing from stopping me from becoming an affiliate is follower count. I got 3 other goals completed. Right now, the focus is on getting stable viewers and 50 followers. I don't care that much about the subscription button for now but I want to hit affiliate as it will allow me to use channel points that I can customize for users to redeem for interesting stuff like requesting a game, interacting and other cool things.

Today I added some commands to have more interactive viewership and will probably stream today.

Good luck OP ;)

Gaming journey, haven't seen one in a while, maybe I missed it.

Anyway, just be constant with your schedule and keep grinding.

What games do you love playing?

Nice one man, keep it up.
 
This journey is gonna be a slow one.

I streamed today. I finally added a cool meme and I already have one skit to do, but need to work on it more. I added a bunch of cool overlays and alters. Got a few followers but not during stream which is unfortunate but I'll stream more during the weekend and hopefully get some more. Tomorrow I'm working on some more memes that I can use more often, not only for specific games.

Streamed a few times, got 2 organic followers which is pretty awesome. I peaked at 9 viewers yesterday while playing a game. Did some more memes, a lot more, thinking about using a camera to make a difference between me and other smaller streamers since most of us don't use cam and we are just another random streamers who play games. Using a camera should probably do me only good as I do like to make faces and do hand gestures for dramatic effect and whatnot. Hopefully, it will feel natural and not forced but we'll see how that goes. I am quite happy with the stream I had yesterday, lots of engagements which is pretty good. Still need to make a schedule but that can hold for now.

All of my stats are going up except follows but that was expected as I have a special discord for small streamers but it's not F4F, we are supporting each other to get a small boost. But I'm quite happy with these stats and random people popping in the stream and chatting.

That's a pretty good start! Growing big on Twitch is definitely challenging, but you've already got a start which is good. I think you are right on point with getting a camera. This will allow the viewers to get yto know you, and will make them remember you much better compared to just a voice and a channel.
 
Since you started it, I think you know a bit about twitch.
Do you think Twitch will ban me if I stream a live sports match or anime?
 
i highly recommend finding one game and playing only that.
growing socials is more important than streaming long hours. nobody will find you, ever.
youtube is the best one

If you react to it, no, they wont ban you.
But if you just want to stream raw episodes then dont even bother.
 
Good luck on your journey! Since I'm very familiar with twitch I'll be following your success ;)

The camera is arriving today and I think I'll stream today.

They will ban you if you just want to stream those stuff. There was a lot channels streaming movies and they got banned. Maybe not from the start, but they will catch up to you for sure.

So far I don't think playing one game is for me. Since I am new, I am trying a few different games, maybe 3 or 4 to see where I can grow the most. So far, I found that one game brings in organic viewers so I will be focusing more on that game, but I get what you're trying to stay. I will try to do that, but I just need to find the right game first :)

Good luck on your journey! Since I'm very familiar with twitch I'll be following your success ;)
Thank you very much.
