I need help. I understand what the numbers mean (like the categories), but I don’t understand if the turn over and correlation is good if that makes sense? are there percentages out there to see if I am growing as I should be based on my numbers?

for example I have been getting 900-1200 live views, but only 450-750 unique viewers. I had a random stream spike and hit 2550 unique and 3220 live, but my chat was lower than normal, despite getting like 25 new followers. was I botted? Viewer average was right in my normal range at the time though so I’m not really sure what happened there.

I usually get a 2-6 follows a stream, and about 5 non gifted subs a week. does this track with my numbers?

I get compared to some big streamers, and I think it’s a compliment, but I also don’t want people to think I am trying to jack their streaming style. I definitely don’t want to be seen as an extension of someone else, I want to be seen as my own person.

I have my friends watch and they say I am pretty genuine and myself so I have that going for me. but again on any clip i post i am being compared to someone else

I haven’t been seriously streaming for long, and this is my third week following a schedule. I do mornings, and wake up about 2 hours before. I find the first hour to be a bit sluggish when watching back, and it just takes a second to get into the flow. I start to loose stamina around hour 5, so I have been only streaming for about 4-5 hours at a time.

I used to stream whenever I wanted which was super inconsistent, but it was easy to jump in right away. now that I have a schedule and don’t always feel up to it it’s harder.

I have 45 average viewers, peaking around high 50s, and dropping into low 30s. my viewers apparently average a little over an hour of watch time which feels like a sizeable amount since i personally don’t watch entire streams in one sitting and commonly finish up VODs later. I just feel like getting into the groove faster would help retention even more.

any tips or tricks you use to get into your “persona” or performance mode?

EXTRA INFO:

I guess im technically variety. I mostly play games, but i jump around games frequently, mostly playing smaller titles I personally enjoy. i have plans to branch out on big milestones, and my viewers seem into it. I think I am watched for my personality and looks over any skills i have.

I haven’t made anything crazy, just $200 this past month, but I haven’t seen any of it. My paypal is connected, but under estimated payout it says $0.00.

am I doing something wrong? did I not make enough? it’s all from views and the creator program not commission or partner stuff.
