So you have decided to become a streamer huh. Well thanks to our friends over at streambig we have some streaming basics for those interested in getting into streaming.
1. Do it for fun!
Streaming has become a great way to create revenue stream while also doing something you love to do. Who wouldn't want to get paid to play your favorite games and talk to random online strangers? It's a dream come true for many people, but the bottom is money should not be your main goal when you stream. It has taken streamers months or even years to get to where they are and they did it not for the money but because they loved to stream. If your doing it for the money your guaranteed to get frustrated and quit when your number are not where you think they should be. But if you love it and are more concerned with having fun you won't worry so much about your following. A following will come with time, dedication, and passion and the best way to be passionate about something is to have fun doing it. Be sure to enjoy the growth however fast or slow it is, progress is the goal.
2. Be Yourself
With thousands of established streamers and thousands of new ones you need a way to stand out. The best way to stand out is by being yourself. You are unique, no one can be you but you and that's why being yourself i the best option. Don't feel the need to copy other streamers because you see something working for them. Replicating what others are doing doesn't always work and it takes away from what you bring to the table. Just....be....you.... and you will grow an authentic following that enjoys your content because of you and not some popular twitch gimmick. A huge part of streaming is getting comfortable and interacting with viewers on a personal level, easiest way to do that is be yourself.
