But it's also the most difficult time. There are 7.5 million streamers haha
Mostly friends, sadly, but I am not complaining! I am just trying to focus more on content I provide right now.

Alright. Streamed a bit more, not too often but I want to stream more and grow so this week I will try to stream everyday at least 2 hours. I could also do one big stream soon-ish. Most of the subs are gifted by friends, which I appreciate but I would rather they don't do that 
but it is what it is. My average is going up, not sure are more people from my discord watching me or not but it's good, it's going up so that's awesome.

It is so hard, very very hard, but at least it's something that I enjoy for now so that makes it a bit easier for now. Thanks, I hope I'll be able to do at least something!

I have to agree with that.
Last week I streamed 6 days of 7 so that's pretty good. Took a break Sunday and Monday and today I'll be on again. I am playing some different games and getting some follows and chatters. Still a lot of work to do but I'm going somewhere. I had an idea to start making memes on my channel on YouTube since my whole point of Twitch is kinda memey gameplay and whatnot so might go that way.
Here are the stats. Again, I do not care about subs at all. My main interests is concurrent viewers/chatters then follows and then subs. Subs mean nothing to me right now. I want to grow first and then start making money. I did get a donation and some bits from random people so that was pretty nice to see. Average viewers is pretty nice. I peaked almost at 10 the other day. That's pretty big.

What are you doing for promoting your account and getting more viewers? I think you still have some untapped potential to grow your account a bit faster.

I have a discord so I get some people from there. Another way is playing games that are kinda interesting but they are not very populated with streamers. I did get a few raids from random people that resulted in some follows. I also go to other, a bit bigger streams that play the same games and chat with asking questions, suggesting if they want so I get my name out there. There is not much room to promote me on Reddit as I only attract other streamers who are doing the same thing haha I engage on Twitter as well with content that I find interesting, replying to big accounts like NZXT and Nvidia when there is a discussion so my name is out there. I have a few videos on YouTube but nothing amazing yet.
Do you have any suggestions? Sadly, I can't spam my links and be high up on Google. Ahhh, if only that were the case here

Thanks, it really is hard.
OK, did not stream that much last week. I made a schedule. I will stream 5 times per week to see if this will get me anywhere. Not much has happened, still playing different games, trying to find my main game. Got some new follows, some people started cheering bits outside my friends list so that's kinda cool. Still don't care about money there, focused on growing. Started posting memes on my YouTube channel to try to get some traction.

I can honestly say that my dream in life has always been to do something that's fun, complete fun, and also make money out of it.
For gamers that are social, and especially those that like to talk.. twitch streaming is the thing.
sad thing is, that twitch just like everything else, is now all about scam your way to the top, buy followers, buy traffic, be a blondie with huge titts, be a blondie with and "forget" that the camera is on.. sign deals behind the scenes with other groups.. to sum it up, nasty.
I hope you will find success while still enjoying it.
Good luck.

Yeah, it's hard. But I have free time and this is a hobby, for now, to let's hope I can make some money out of it and enjoy it!
Anyway, an update from me. I did some streaming, did some tweaks and it seems I'm doing alright. I have a nice chunk of followers and some viewers. It's going good, happy with the progress. Still looking for a "main" game to play but we'll see what that will be.

Congrats on your progress so far!
Streaming on Twitch is actually pretty fun. It also allows you to make some really cool friends and sometimes join nice communities.
I have a suggestion that did work for me in the past and some friends of mine.
Networking is KEY here to get your name up there faster, and there's raiding communities out there that can help with that. You can meet lots of cool people through them.
I'll send you one that I personally used in the past through PM since I don't want to post them here.
Basically these guys have a Discord server and they do daily raids as a group on their community members. They usually pick the people by random or even suggestions from the ones in the raiding voice channel. Everyone can join.
I used to be with them years ago when I was streaming as well and I remember we would easily pump the numbers up on lots of streamers, me included.
Sadly I quit streaming due to some personal stupid reasons and laziness but I know it can help you.
Now, the usual question will arise. Will any of those people that join from the 5 minute raids stick? The answer is usually yes. You'll get some followers, sometimes even subs and if people like what you're streaming, they'll come in the future as well.

I'd recommend uploading short highlight clips from your streams to YouTube and TikTok.
You might be able to pulls some subs from TikTok if any of your vids go viral.
And short gaming clips go well on YouTube, so could easily start getting some traction there - if you have some decent highlight clips. (Especially since YouTube is heavily pushing short clips in their algorithm).
If you have the funds, buying a shoutout from relevant accounts on Instagram could also work.
