Streaming can be an incredibly enjoyable, rewarding, and high-paying hobby or career for some people. The reality though is that there are millions of active channels going live every single month. In September 2021 alone if you went live on Twitch, you were 1 in over 7 million channels that went live. There are a lot of misconceptions spread about what it takes to become a streamer, what it’s like to be a streamer, and generally about this industry every single day. I want to tell you guys the truth about streaming on Twitch, specifically the truth about three things, what it takes to be successful, how much money you’ll earn, and the biggest lie I see every day that we will save for the end of the video… about why you aren’t growing, that I know will upset people sadly. 👑Check out Eljayem Live Right now: http://bit.ly/eljayemtwitch 🔴 BEST Full Stream Packages By OWN3D: https://bit.ly/BestFullStreamPackages 👑Check Out Eljay's NEW Channel: https://bit.ly/JoinTheRoyEls 🔴 Download FREE Animated Overlays From Our Discord: https://bit.ly/FREEStreamOverlays 👑#1 Reason Small Streamers QUIT Streaming! - USE SMART GOALS INSTEAD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REUM_Hx4SqI How To Grow On Twitch? If you want to grow your Twitch stream, it is important to be critical. Being critical isn’t a bad thing, people say, “Oh don’t be so critical of yourself!”. But there are a lot of things you can control and improve, such as your visuals, audio, and most importantly your content that you’re creating. Watch back your VoD and be honest with yourself, is it up to scratch. Does your mic sound good? Are you engaging? Is it easy to watch and enjoy or is there something that is off-putting? Be honest, push yourself to grow, and become a better entertainer! Because at the end of the day, the only way you are going to grow your stream is by growing yourself and being critical in a positive way. 🕘Timestamps: 0:00 Video Start! 0:33 Introduction! 1:20 OWN3D Sponsor Segment! 2:04 How Your Motivation Can Cause Your Stream To Fail! 3:40 How To Motivate Yourself To Create Content Or Stream! 6:30 The Truth About How Much Money Streamers Earn! 8:40 The Truth About How UNSTABLE Twitch Revenue Is! 10:38 The Truth About Why You Aren't Growing On Twitch! 13:06 The Truth About How HARD It Is To Grow On Twitch! 13:55 The REAL REASON Why You Might Never Grow On Twitch! How To Motivate Yourself To Stream On Twitch? Motivation is literally just the reason why you’re willing to act, if you say that you aren’t motivated it just means you don’t have a good enough reason to act, or you can’t see a good enough reason to act. So ask yourself, why aren’t you motivated? Why is your reason not good enough? If you don’t feel motivated then you need to do three things. The first: Write down why you want to be a content creator, be VERY honest with yourself about your reasons. For myself, I want to be a creator because I love making people laugh and connecting with others… and I didn’t get enough attention as a child. The second step is to start using SMART goals, these are your secret weapon to productivity. I have a whole video on what they are, I will link it in the description for when you’re done with this video. The third step is to stop looking at work and thinking about motivation and instead think about discipline and routine. Jerry Seinfield is the best example of this, he used what is now called the Seinfeld strategy. This is the concept of creating a daily task or routine that you never stray from. In his example, he got a large wall calendar that had 365 squares, one for every day of the year, and every single day he would sit down and spend time writing out jokes. When he had written a joke, he would put a big red X through that day on the calendar. If he kept at it, eventually he would start seeing a streak of X’s form, and the longer he kept the streak the more he felt disciplined and “motivated” not to break the streak. The thing is he didn’t say the jokes had to be good, he just said he had to work on writing jokes, and as he did, and this will surprise you, he improved... the jokes became better, he became faster at coming up with them. The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty. 🎬Watch our most recent videos: https://bit.ly/RecentStreamVids 🎬 Playlists You Might Like: https://bit.ly/StreamGuidesPlaylist 💬 Streaming Guides: How To Stream On Twitch The A to Z Guide: https://bit.ly/HowToStreamOnTwitch101 -------------------------------SOCIAL------------------------------- 👥Facebook: https://bit.ly/StreamSchemeFB 🐦Twitter: https://bit.ly/Streamtweets 💬Website: https://bit.ly/Streamscheme 🐦Go force Eljay to use Twitter: http://bit.ly/EljaysTweets #twitch #growth #guide
