Does an existing social media audience actually translate to Twitch?

hii i’m curious how this compares to other streamers experiences with growth!

i’m a 22F variety streamer with kind of a specific niche because i’m a metalhead emo shorty lol.
i play lots of Skyrim, RPGs, VRChat, Roblox, horror games, Fortnite, & various other games.

I’ve only been streaming for 2 weeks, so I’m still very much figuring out what the hell I’m doing lol.
Im a content creator / brand ambassador so I do already have an audience outside of Twitch though
& I was curious whether having an established audience elsewhere actually makes a meaningful difference on Twitch,
because my growth so far has been 2.9k followers.

On my most recent stream, I averaged 25 viewers, peaked at 42, had 1,224 unique viewers, and gained 29 followers.

For people who have been streaming longer, how does this look to you? Is this actually a strong start, or does having an existing audience make the comparison kinda meaningless? I’m especially curious about people who came from TikTok/Instagram/YouTube.

Any tips or advice is so appreciated!
Thank uu
