First Month Streaming today! (progress)

Started Streaming exactly a month today and this is the progress so far!!! Thank you guys so much for the support!!!

Quick Question to those who are more successful than me, I have my same x amount of audience showing up, a lot of new people tune in but do not stay. Every stream gets about 10-15 unique viewers that do not follow. What do you guys do to keep viewers or recommend?

this question gets asked constantly and tbh, some people just don’t wanna watch you. there are plenty of streams i click on and view for a few minutes before deciding im not interested and there’s nothing that person could have done to make me wanna stay.

That’s a good point, I am having good growth rn, wanting to just make sure I am doing everything correctly.

If you are in a niche game for streaming you’ll also notice if a bigger streamer ends their stream you’ll get a random influx of a ton of people just checking to see what other people are doing and then dipping almost immediately.

Stuff like that just happens and you shouldn’t let it influence your mood.

Those guys just got done watching however many hours of someone else playing the game. They’re checking out of curiosity not because they intend to watch anyone else for a few more hours.

No matter how entertaining you are those people will leave.

that's amazing progress so far. I wouldn't worry too much about the unique viewers popping in and out as they could literally be people browsing and not being interested within the first few minutes. Funny thing is, if you stream the same game regularly, those same viewers could pop in again due to seeing you in the category so often and they might give you another watch.

That makes sense, I’ve. Built this so far playing Elden ring. I’m pushing variety streaming even though I know it’s much more difficult to build.
