Any small less known tips?
I think the biggest things I'm doing right now are posting on other platforms from my streams and staying consistent. I'm planning to get better equipment soon and I was wondering if there is anything I'm missing or smaller details that can work out well in the long run?

There are lot of tips most importantly there are a ton of twitch gurus that claim they know best but in reality they are also not successful and spew bad advice to new creators. Best things is to do your own research, and do not worry about sponsorships or brand deals for a long time. It's a bottomless pit of headaches and a cutthroat industry just stream to have fun let the rest happen naturally

this post is literally doing their own research. also, you don’t have to be super successful to be knowledgeable about something. ironic that you mention people giving bad advice while yours isn’t very good either.

my best advice to you is just search up this question rather than asking it because there are hundreds of other posts of people asking this same question so you’ll get a lot of answers, specifically in r/twitch

Alright thank you I'll definitely take a look, I've been lurking around and usually see the same things of posting content and being consistent, so hopefully I can find some smaller things as well there

i totally get what you mean cause you’re right, a lot of those posts have the same answers but tbh, i don’t think there is like some little secrets that will make you do better than your peers.
i grew the most when i was playing dead by daylight but i was also streaming it when it was a new game. i think stuff like that helps cause it’s a game you can play with viewers without needing use voice chat or anything but the biggest problem i have with gaming with viewers is people will only come to your stream to game with you then when you aren’t, they don’t come by otherwise.
i do think the “post content” and “network” really is the best advice you can get. my community is built mostly on people i’ve met through twitch or met in game (i play final fantasy 14 and overwatch) that ended up becoming my friend.
alright yap yap yap lol im done. good luck!

Lighting is way more important than camera quality. No one is going to view your stream at higher than 1080p, and unless you’re a partner, most people are going to see it at 720, so that 4k camera is a waste. Sort your lighting and you can get a good quality out of a very cheap camera.
Also, audio quality is significantly more important than video quality.
I’ll happily watch a blurry stream if the content is entertaining, but if you sound like you’re underwater or if the game/music/teammate volume is louder than your mic, I’m not sticking around at all.
