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.

How To Keep Twitch Viewers Watching?
The first step to a giveaway is where Eljay talks about an old favourite, oh goodness me am I excited to talk about this again… Audience Intent!
The concept is that every single viewer has intent behind their actions or behaviour, and when you combine all of those peoples intent you get your audience intent.
Most commonly I ask creators, why did that user follow your stream? Well, The best reason is that they enjoyed you and that type of content, which means they have the intent to come back to another stream to see more of that type of content.
When you ignore that intent, and make large changes to your content, schedule, and stream you can accidentally turn away viewers who otherwise had intent to return.
Before we move on, I want to give a clear example of this so everyone is on the same page, a user discovers your stream, they follow because they love watching you clicking heads in Warzone while getting those dubs, they come back the next night and find you’re playing Animal crossing and talking about how cute Barold is....
It’s an extreme example but the intent they followed isn't there anymore, so they leave. This happens with schedules as well, they come back at the same time the next day, and you’re not live because you decided to stream the morning instead, okay they go find someone else playing the game they want to watch who actually has a schedule.
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.
