I wrote this in response to somebody asking how to grow as a streamer and these are the posts/info that I hunt for on this sub so I wanted to share it myself.

If youre looking to take this serious ill give you a lengthy and fleshed out answer. I by no means am a big creator but this has become my main focus as of late and focusing on the right things is paramount to growing.

So the simple answer is creating content on other platfroms to bring people to your streams while also making your streams both interactive, entertaining, and somewhat consistent (time, game, energy, etc. they dont all need to be but a few makes a big difference)

The longer answer is the content on the other platforms needs to be thought of as a funnel. At the top of the funnel is content you make on other platfroms that is ambiguous of you, it doesnt matter who you are to the person watching, they dont need to know anything about you to get value from this content. This can be anything from video game reviews, tips, guides, news, to funny moments or skits. This is what brings new people to the middle of the funnel.

The middle of the funnel is stuff for people that already know you to some extent and would watch more. This is where I put the streams themselves, stream highlights/clips, more niched down talking head stuff, etc. this keeps fans going. Think of shows you like, when they are coming out with new stuff you will keep watching, but if they are not it is out of sight out of mind.

Then the bottom of the funnel is usually a layer deeper, this content can live anywhere but i think of instagram/tiktok stories, twitter/youtube communites, or discords. A place for your more diehard/core audience to see more than what is put out to the public. I think of stuff like setup or behind the scenes stuff, personal life stuff, opinions, etc.

The goal of all this is to get people to the bottom of the funnel which is what I would call the "core" audience. These are the people that come for you more than the game or what you are doing that day. This means they will follow you if you switch games, or the type of content you make. This is where freedom comes from as a creator and these are the people you want to reward, value, and cater to the most while still tryin to add new people to that group.

There are a ton of streamers with 20-30 diehard viewers that have a better community and make more money than people with a 100+ viewers

I never write reviews but the chat problem stressed me out so much for so long and now it is as simple as ever so I wanted to share for other multistreamers.

I have looked and tried a bunch of different solutions to monitor chat and alerts across the platforms I stream on (Twitch, kick, YouTube, and TikTok) and before this one the best thing was streamer.bot and a service that ran on top of it called chatRD.

Where that fell short for me was the consistency of it working. Platforms would occasionally disconnect or I had to have the app open plus tikfinity at all times and editing the overlay was a multi step process even for simple changes.

I found prochat months ago but it didn’t have TikTok support yet, and recently they added it (albeit for $6 a month for premium), and I haven’t looked back. It works very consistently, is web based, and I can change my dock and my overlay on the fly, even from my phone.

The creator is very active on twitter and has added a couple features I requested that I thought would be good like a day after I suggested them. He’s a streamer too so I think his head is in the right place.

I’m looking for some streamers (any size) to collaborate with on some party/friendslop games. Open to other games as well if you have something in mind

DM if you are interested!

I’m looking for some streamers (any size) to collaborate with on some party games.

S&box right now, but love the idea of having recurring people for friendslop games.

My vibe is chatty and I lean into bits a lot. Definitely trying to entertain/put on a show when I can but in a more casual way. I can be crass but that’s not the majority of stream, more just that I don’t shy away from it.

As for me, I’m 27 years old, I quit my job 2 months ago to lean into content and streaming full time. I am in eastern standard time and typically stream Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 7pm to 10pm EST. Although I am open to different schedules for collabs.
