r/newStreamers

I stream on twitch and I’m considering multi streaming but I have no idea where to stream at all.. I haven’t seen any growth on twitch at all im hard stuck at 3 viewers no matter what category I stream at.. I also tried kick TikTok and YouTube for a little bit and I’ve seen no growth on either of those is it just impossible to grow as a new streamer?

I watch a few streamers myself all of them are twitch partners and they multi stream on kick and TikTok and they always have only 1-2 viewers at all times on both platforms while there twitch is more active with 40 viewers and a few chatters

Streaming seems impossible any advice?

I recently got back into attempting streaming.
So far I have 17 followers and average the same single viewer playing rainworld. I wanna get larger though. I posted some clips from my streams into TikTok but I haven’t seen new faces come from it yet. What could I do to get more viewers?

EDIT: SOOOO Sorry!!! The title was meant to be "... Is a payout to viewers/followers expected"
Im not asking if/what the payout or advantage is to me.

Theres a LOT of elements on Twitch that Im still very very new to. One is goals and the pay out for meeting them.

I currently have a goal with a progress bar on my stream in an effort to reach 25 followers. This is one of the remaining 2 achievements I have to make in order to reach Affiliate. While reaching the goal is a clear benefit to me, what would be a reasonable payout for those that followed and helped, and is one even expected? If I follow someone and it helps them reach a goal, I personally don't expect anything other than the happy feeling that I helped.

Also, it might be worth noting that even if 25 followers were reached, i still have to do the whole 3 viewers 4 times thing. Which Im still pretty unsure about.

I spent hours on my overlays, my alerts, and my setup. I’m proud of the quality, but it doesn't matter if the viewer count stays at zero. It’s so demoralizing. What was the turning point for you guys? How did you go from "ghost channel" to actually having a pulse in your chat?

I used to be a "reactive" streamer. If the chat was dead and the viewer count was zero, I’d just sit there in silence, playing my game with a blank face, waiting for someone to join before I "turned on" my personality. I figured, why waste the energy if nobody is watching?

Then I took a good look at my analytics and realized something that changed how I stream forever: a huge chunk of my profile visits were happening while I was offline.

I decided to watch my own latest past broadcast as if I were a complete stranger, and honestly? It was painful. I saw a guy sitting in a quiet room, barely reacting, just waiting for something to happen. If I wouldn't watch myself, why would anyone else? It hit me that my VODs aren't just archives - they are my 24/7 resume.

I decided to stop streaming for the "count" and started streaming for the "record."

Now, even if the counter says zero, I talk. I narrate my plays, I tell stories, and I react to everything as if the room is packed. I’m not just performing for the people who are there live; I’m performing for the person who is going to stumble across my channel while I'm at my day job or sleeping.

When your VODs have energy from the very first minute, they become a permanent advertisement for your channel. A stranger can click your profile at 3 AM, watch a random five-minute clip of your last stream, and see a vibrant, active creator instead of a "ghost town." It builds instant credibility.

Stop waiting for the crowd to arrive before you start the show. Be the slow first and the crown will eventually show up to see what they've been missing. Treat your past broadcasts like your best marketing tool, because they'll the only version of you that exists when you aren't live.

Hi everybody! "M", 24M, here. I'm a non-streamer open to join people that are looking for new players or just people to talk/chat. My main goal is not to become famous but to make new relationships, get motivation to stream myself or even learn new languages.

I'm from Chile, so my timezone is UTC-4 (winter) and UTC-3 (summer). I speak Spanish, English, very little German and Chinese, but I'm open to learn similar languages should you want to teach me :)

I'd be happy to play games, chat or do any other activities (that are legal obviously). Feel free to reach out! I will try to reply quickly

Hello, I don't really have much of a fan base but I would like to find some other people in the same boat that would like to collaborate with gaming and such. I play a wide range of games, from survival horror all the way to Terraria.
