Success on Twitch is never guaranteed, even with the recommendations we now list. However, they help and it is better to follow them to the letter to get the best possible results in numerical and statistical terms with each transmission.
Complete your user profile and make it as interesting as possible
Users will follow you less or not at all if they come across a profile that has no description or profile picture. The latter does not necessarily have to be that of the owner of the account, but it does have to represent the content of the channel to some extent. Thus, choose a good profile picture so do it and upload it.
Regarding the description of the channel, make sure it is brief. In turn, this has to make it clear what the account is about, be it games, reactions, recommendations or whatever. If it is of varied content, you can put several things in the description and, in part, talk about yourself, but only a little; in this sense, if you are a gamer, for example, you can place it. This is how many will be interested in you and your content, since a large part of the users look for specific things to see and be entertained.
It's about interesting content and games that people play a lot
If you bet on viral and very popular games, there will be a greater chance that you will have more followers and viewers in your direct. This happens by the simple logic that this type of game, such as Fornite, Minecraft and Among Us at the time, They have a large community of players and people who enjoy watching others play, be it for the laughter, anger and entertainment they provide. On the other hand, if you play little-known and even low-quality games, few will even be interested in entering your channel and subscribing.
Make your live shows have good audio and sound quality
This is something that may involve some investment, since making live shows have good picture and sound quality requires decent hardware. This includes a powerful computer, a good video camera, a microphone with good audio reception and transmission, and little else. At the same time, the quality of the Internet connection must be very good, stable and fast, so that the image and sound quality is in high definition for the viewers and does not present pixels, delays or frozen screens during the direct.
Set guidelines for your content
Don't stream random content if your Twitch channel is about something specific. At the same time, don't stream just one thing if you cover multiple topics, games, and sections on your channel. Be faithful to your initial theme and establish guidelines to carry it out. In this way, you will become better known for what you do from the beginning, whether it is dealing with several things or just one. Of course, this does not mean that you cannot evolve over time and change content gradually. However, it is advisable to do it in an organized way and with a specific objective.
At the same time, make schedules for each stream and try not to make them at unsuspecting hours. This way you will be able to have more viewers in each direct and grow on Twitch.
Make your live shows well known and personalize them
Starting a direct and making good content is not everything. You should also give it a title and, better yet, some funny description or one that is related to the content of the direct and/or Twitch channel. This way, viewers will know what your content is about and there will be more chances that they stay to watch it and subscribe to the channel, causing it to grow progressively.
It also serves to make an overlay for direct. An overlay is a custom frame that is widely used by professional streamers to add quality to their streams. In this you can publish some information of interest, such as your social networks and the name of your channel.
A background music throughout the live or only in some parts where it is good is not too much. Of course, try to use music according to the moments and that is not at a high volume.
Interact with your viewers
Talk and go to them. Read the chat and ask questions or answer the ones they ask you and try to make the whole live show entertaining. In this way, you will make them accompany you as long as possible.
Use the impulse of other social networks and announce your direct
Promoting your Twitch account and channel through social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter will help you get noticed, especially if the social media accounts you use to advertise your channel have a large following and are very popular. Thus, more people will enter the channel and subscribe.
At the same time, It is important that you announce your live shows through these social networks. This way you will ensure that many of your followers and friends do not miss them and even share the information that you are on Twitch.
Analyze your streams and determine the best times to start them
Use the statistics section to analyze how much your channel is growing and when. It also analyzes when you have more viewers and opens direct when more people are connected. It is usually late at night and early morning on most days, but this can change.
Make direct with themes based on holidays and carry out raffles and incentives
Holidays are perfect for you to get creative and go live with themes. Thus, you will gain many subscribers over time. It is also very important that you carry out occasional raffles and give incentives or accept challenges from the viewers, although you can also consider them yourself and let your subscribers know about them.
Be constant
Last but not least, consistency is essential to grow on Twitch. It is not an overnight thing. All of the above should be done frequently and, if possible, every day. Thus, over time, your community will gradually increase.
