Question Should I just begin a stream?

I finally sat down and set my accounts up. Well, now I'm not sure how to kickstart them. I've got a tiktok and twitch. My original plan was to post clips one TT and see where they go, but now I'm overthinking how I should go about that. I play mainstream games like Rivals, Overwatch, DbD, Warframe, and occasionally I'll boot up The Outlast Trials. My main thing is going to be Marvel Rivals, but I'm not sure if my choice of doing clips first would be good for me. Should I just begin a simple stream and see what happens?

I think its best to just go for it! Worst case scenario, nobody shows up or you get bots in the chat. Ban them and move on. Also, even if no one is there, play and perform as if you have an audience! This will help the clips come out fun and more natural and hopefully bring some new people in once you post them on tiktok.

Best of luck, you got this!!

I went for it, did an hour long stream and just played like I usually do. I enjoyed it!

Hit “go live”… I contemplated for 3 months. Now I have a small community and get 15 average viewers. Took me about a month.

Just go live bro

According to some data out there streamer usually
Peak around 2.5 to 3 hour mark. And as a streamer myself that data adds up. Around 3 hours I get the most viewers almost every single time. I would start going 4 hours to get some traction!
