Hi my name is Haku or like all like to call me "haku1lol".
I started streaming about 2 Months ago. It's really fun to stream on Twitch, cause if you're a person who's playing alone or mostly alone a stream is the right thing to do!
How should you start to set up?
At the beginning your goals shouldn't be set too high. Start with low follower numbers like 10 or 20 as a follower goal. I'm talking about my experience. If you set them too high you will start to get depressed and bored very soon. cause they will take way more time to achieve. I've made that experience x)..
You will also need a PC with a quite good performance. It has to run your stream, the games, the camera graphics and so on... so make sure its not too old. In the next five steps i'm concentrating on the time after you finished your surface for twitch.
Here are some starters advice:
To get some viewers really dont hesitate to ask family members, friend and people who know people. They will understand..especially for the beginning. You will have to get used to it.
Use social media!! Even if it seems weird to you to abuse it. Ask friends there or try the official page.
Try to arrange some interesting panels on your twitch page.
Go to other streamers and start interacting with their chat and the people in their chat. They will look out for your channel if you're having a good chat with them. Make yourself interesting!
Last tip tho. Cause i lack experience xD... Try to host streamers who don't have more than 100 viewers at the same time. Try to find friends on twitch! Who also stream. Ask them for help if you don't own enough knowledge. They all started just like you did!
I hope i could help somebody who is planing to start streaming. I wish everybody good luck!
And never forget.. enjoy!! Don't take it too seriously!
