As a small streamer myself, I honestly agree with everything your saying. I have 70 followers currently on twitch and anytime I stream I usually have maybe 1-3 viewers if I'm lucky and sometimes I may peak to maybe 5, but I quickly go back down to 1. Ngl having the low viewership is discouraging for me, but I don't wanna let that stop me from doing something that enjoy which playing video games and showing off my skills. So definitely take everything you say into consideration. I've actually been thinking about trying to use youtube as a way to help with my growth, but I'm just not good with editing, but I definitely wanna try. Thank you for your wisdom and great advice.

Ngl I did most of this without even being told to and it works. Went from 0 to 7-8 average viewers in only a week, still growing. You HAVE TO be able to talk to yourself. You HAVE TO

Eljay, I've been meaning to tell you this for a good while now... Thank you. Thank you for the mountain of incredible information you've provided for myself and everyone looking to dive into streaming. Just two months ago I began my streaming journey with nothing more than a wild idea that maybe I could someday have a community of my own. With your help I've been able to grow at an insane pace and I already have a humble community that I love to interact with. When I started I didn't even know what OBS was, but with your help I was able to grow smart and dive in with a splash. So thank you for being such a great mentor for all of us.

Much appreciated! I've had ideas to be more interesting for a while, but was consistently getting stuck in the mindset of "It won't be worth it, I'll just mess it up" but you've put forward a great point! So what's the harm in trying!

Great stuff as always! Love the idea of using your title as a summary for the stream, but also a self-pitch to see if your stream idea is good to you. Cause if you wouldn't click your own stream, why would you expect someone else to?

I've been really losing the drive to create content and keep a regular schedule on my stream. Hearing the things you had to say here was kind of the swift kick I needed to get my head straight and dive back into it. Keep doing what you're doing! It's honestly helping so many get the most out of their time striving to become discovered! Thank you.

It definitely wasn't harsh, these are comments people do need to hear. I've had to take a break from streaming due to work and life. However I'm planning to return in June and I am already planning stuff out, so I can be more discoverable. I tried growing as a variety streamer and it didn't work and I've learned that the hard way. Because all I was burn my self out.

Another awesome video. Thanks, Eljay! I just started 2 months ago and been steadily growing thanks to your tips. I've noticed a recurring tip/theme to your videos and it's *consistency*. It's kind of disheartening to not see views grow or followers but I'm going to keep trying to make good content and try to do better the next time.

I have been watching a lot of your vids recently, even using one of your amazing overlays, thanks again. Yet the videos also told me I needed to do something but being a bit harder for me being mute. I started to use a TTS (Text to speech) program and really hope that might help to get in touch with my chat :3

I actually really appreciate this. We all need that wake up call. I’m just starting out, have a couple YouTube videos and streamed a couple times. I still have to learn the in’s and out’s of everything, but every little bit of information is incredibly helpful. I actually just streamed earlier today and I’m gonna cut it down to bits and post it everywhere. Gotta start somewhere, right?

Thanks bro! I wanna thank you a lot for your free Overlays on your Discord. I havent really been happy with all the Overlays I found online, but I LOVED your Old School Cool Overlay. Also thanks a lot for all the content you are putting up. Appreciating uo. You helped me a lot with my stream.

Great video! What attracts me to a streamer: Family-friendly content, relaxing environment and/or gameplay (one guy I follow makes donuts in his bakery at night!), and the streamer's willingness to engage with their viewers. That's what I put into my own because that's what keeps me coming back to theirs.

These videos are pretty great! Been binging a lot of them lately Gave me more of a push to consider actually schedule my streams and see what works .and try something new and have goals to work towards, I've got the resources and such, now i just got to use them. Thanks man, I'd love to see you in my stream one day! :)

Thank you so much for making this video after watching I realized that I really was making low quality content and all of these tips make a lot of sense! I also thank you for not trying to sugar coat it because I do often find my self trying to rationalize why I am not doing some of the things you mentioned! Your videos are a huge help!

happy to bump you in the algorithm lad, quality advice and sound rationale

I just want to say thank you for taking time out of your daily life to upload a video like this to help us Small Time streamers out and I promise you you're not going to hear no complaining for me I really appreciate the advice that you're giving and I like that you are speaking the truth even if it is a little harsh and people do need to hear that at times and I'm going to take what you have suggested and incorporate that into my streams so I just wanted to say thank you and I'm the type of person that always pushes to do better and take criticism even if it is a little harsh because again you got to hear that so thank you and I hope you're having a great day

Thanks for the video mate! I always make the excuse that I don't have time to make YouTube videos while working full-time as well as streaming but I've been stuck in that mindset that it needs to be HYPER polished before it goes out good to see that if the content is engaging enough it can still do well!

I always appreciate your videos and advice Eljay. Back when I started streaming, it was clearly to make a job out of playing games, and to a degree yeah its still something id like to do. But Last year I started making YT content(COD Warzone since it was what I was playing), and it wasnt until the 3rd video that I started finding the flow I wanted and realized how to make my content different from others, and you know what that was: Editing. Something I had done very little of before, but now im quite confident, and I realize I actually enjoy it as much, if not more than streaming. I like more longform videos so that makes it difficult to edit shorts / tiktoks in between, but ive made the odd ones here and there, but mainly I keep pushing myself to learn more editing techniques, to improve each video in one way or another, heck the one im working on next is the most intricate ive done to date because of stuff ive learned. So in the end, I found another passion I never knew I had, and while I love streaming (And yes im actually putting your advice to work) I cant help but love editing YT videos more, especially so I can put stupid little jokes in that make me laugh.

Thank you Eljay, awesome as always, I have recently started creating more YouTube content (game reviews and stream comedy completions etc) and already I am noticing some new people coming to twitch, your videos always help give me a little boost and realise this is what I want to do! :) I don't think these words were harsh they are wise! :D
