Follow for follow - Sub for Sub

One thing I can tell you is do not fall for the follow for follow scam. It does not work. People will end up in unfollowing you and then you are stuck still sitting at the same number your trying to grow from. 

This ends up growing your following list and subscribing list instead of your followers. 

Trust me trying to grow yourself sucks especially when you are doing it organically but you are wanting fans, you are wanting viewers and chatters along with returning people. You do not want an empty viewer seat, no chats or anything like that.  

Doing this does not boost your watch hours, or give you the views that you are wanting. You want someone that is going to actually engage with your content not just another number. You want to actually find people that supports  you and is for you and doing sub for sub or follow for follow will not do that. 

You are going to have to network and get your content out there. Not all the content you make is going to make it. Not all your content is going to get views or  gain traction but if you don't try then you will never know another thing is if you don't make content then you never will make it. 

It is going to take time but the key here is not to give up. 

Youtube also goes in and deletes subs just a heads up.

The Truth about being a Content Creator (Streaming, Recording)

 Not enough people gets enough credit from being a gamer or content creator. It doesn't matter if your content is good you will end up sitting with no views talking to yourself. Every time you go to end the stream you will be sitting there looking at the 0 views, 0 comments trying to figure out what went wrong and what happened or the famous question "Am I good enough?" "Will I ever make it?" 

The truth that no one talks about is even if you make it to affiliate on twitch there is nothing behind it. You won't get views, you barely even get chatters. Trust me I know the feels, I have been a twitch affiliate since 2018 and its not worth it. No matter how many times I shared, joined servers branched out it doesn't help. I even promoted my streams using Gamerized and Streamers Network but just like always my streams were me talking to myself so there for I quit streaming for a little while, it did not matter anyways I barely had anyone come in, I felt like I was alone. 

It sucks thinking you can make it and it doesn't get anywhere, people that follow you just to be following you in hopes you would drop them a follow also. I even made a discord server called Creators Unite where we are more than creators but family; but then again people only used me to help them get to affiliate and it was so much on me that I had to quit and transfer ownership to a close person to me. I felt like I was suffocating myself to help everyone else rise to the top when they weren't helping there selves, I was the one going hours and hours throughout the day sharing their stuff from reddit to twitter and basically everywhere I could just to try to help them. 

I am still somewhat making YouTube recorded videos just to be making them hoping one day it would take off but its never a promise. I also have Facebook gaming and a ko-fi in hopes something takes off but I won't get my hopes up to high since we are like stars and have our own time to shine but don't give up maybe one day it will be your turn.

Gaming 101; All about streaming

Gaming is a stress reliever until you find a game that is stress inducing until you find a stress inducing game and you will end up buying 3 new controllers a new TV and lots of wall repairing. There are games out there that is stress reducing and then there is a couple that is stress inducting. There are different categories of games that you can get into and there is so many games that lets you interact with people. You can find all kinds of friends on them and then you can find enemies that do not like you and try to kill you multiple times but that's besides the point. Gaming is a great therapy for whatever you are going through. It helps relieve your mind and think for a while before you start worrying and stressing over something. It helps calm you down and let you forget for a while. It's even better when you spouse or partner is playing along with you. They also help bring the stress and frustration down.

 Gaming is a career a hobby and a job at times. You can make money off of it just by becoming a twitch affiliate, a partner on YouTube or just by getting donations and tips on both if your live streaming. Becoming an affiliate takes a lot of dedication, hard work and time. It does not just come to you it takes time and patience along with tips and donations. People enjoy having good content like jokes, perverting streams and just being yourself. Play for you and them not for the money behind it. Entertain them, engage with them and talk to them if you have a mic and if you do not reply to their messages in chat. If you have a capture card it works out 10 times better but if you do not have one just be yourself and entertain do not be a meany and do not be stuck up and rude just be yourself and if you find someone that gets on your nerves you can ban them and block them. Don't let a troll get you down everyone gets them and we all just brush them off. One more thing well a couple. Play games that you like and care for. Don't play the ones with the most views people are looking for other things so stand out and do your own thing. DO NOT WATCH YOUR OWN STREAM IF YOU HAVE SUCKISH INTERNET YOUR STREAM WILL CRASH!!!! IT CAN ALSO DISTRACTS YOUR FROM THE STREAM AND AS A FELLOW STREAMER I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!!!

Advertising and promoting your streams works wonders with getting the view count up. Send you links to family and friends, on Facebook, Reddit, twitter, discord and basically anywhere that you can post a link like join groups on Google-plus that allows you to promote your channels. (You can join more than one group!!!) You can also do the same for Facebook. (Some links are below!)
