I can't grow on Twitch. How to grow on Twitch | 2019 guide

Since you are here, I presume you are still a small streamer looking for advice. Assuming you have an entertaining personality, a last generation computer and a high quality camera, you need to understand some technical details about Twitch and to know what you`re doing wrong.

I know before you got here, you reached so many videos and articles that are written by big streamers, telling you how they grew on Twitch. The problem with that is that their advice is no longer available nowadays. Why? Well, old streamers started doing this when the website wasn't that popular and there weren't too many people as a competition, but today there are hundreds of streamers and no one is gonna scroll so much to find you.

The worst advice popular streamers tell new ones is to stream everyday. Wrong. No one wants to stream for four hours for 0 viewers. It means you are wasting your time and then feel frustrated because no one shows up. Why? Because they cannot see you, not because you're no good enough.

It is important to understand that Twitch isn't a discoverable platform and what I mean is that people can't search your content. Also, they don't have the algorithm that Youtube has. If people, for example, watch 80% of one of your videos, that means the video is good and then YT is going to pop your video up because of its quality. Also, you are going to pop up because of likes or comments and it is also a discoverable platform because your title can match a unique search . It is way easier to grow on Youtube.

Therefore, once you decided you want to be a streamer, start a YT channel first and then bring that audience to your stream. I am telling you, it is way more effective to build a community this way than streaming everyday for no people.

Also, don't forget about other social media platforms, like: Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Create a dedicated account for those and use those goddamn hashtags and join gaming groups and start promoting yourself. Promote your YT channel or your Twitch there with a great short moment video. You will then earn from both platforms and widen your audience.  


Peace!
