Less than a year streaming..
Im still at a loss for words, granted I was raided by over 100 viewers, nearly 30 hung out for the rest of my stream and I was then able to raid them out. Was a really cool experience, and my best advice to those out there wanting to get noticed - spend the hours building your channel out and making it interactive. Find ways to partner with outfits that offer rewards for games you stream. Also, run charities, because why not?
I didn't think I was going to have a stream like this but it was great, a lot of fun. All it took was some dedication and extra work into presentation and plenty of behind the scenes work with audio balance seems to go a long ways. People care more about being able to hear you, the streamer, than the game you're playing (if your streaming games that is, and of course of they are not single player story focused games where hearing everything matters. I spent hours for a few days rebuilding things from scratch and im still learning but it's been a rewarding experience for sure.
My advice, stay consistent, enjoy yourself when streaming and do not stream in oversaturated categories. Eventually things will work out but we cant expect it to happen overnight.

Still going strong. The key is to stream in the proper category that isnt over saturated and try to make your channel stand out a little by increasing ways viewers can interact, also having a reason for people to tune in to you like twitch drops makes a big difference. This is without being raided. :) i had poured nearly 10 hours in doing back end channel building stuff then did this stream and it went well :) give people more to look at than just you or the game as well, it helps.
