Alright, so a lotta you guys have been asking me recently how we went about growing from no Twitch following at all, to over 20,000 Twitch followers and an average 100 to 300 concurrent viewers per stream in only 6 months.
Today, as part of a brand new Twitch growth series, I'm going to take a little of your time to not only walk you through how I did it, but how you guys can as well.
So I urge you to take a few minutes to sit through as much of this as you can as I'll be going over the Do's and Don'ts of what to do and what to avoid doing to grow your Twitch channel.
The 5 first steps - first hints I believe are the most important to get down are the following:
SOCIAL MEDIA
- Growing on more than one platform -
FIND A GAME
- Being good at one game is better than being bad at many games -
YOU NEED A YOUTUBE CHANNEL
- Youtube is an integral tool to your success -
CONSISTENCY
- Being consistent is key -
BALANCE
- Don't overdo it -

When I started Youtube I never did it with the intention of growing to the almost 300,000 subscribers we have currently. Yet here we are, and I cannot be more thankful for the amazing community we've amassed.
However, Mrs Stix - who's my wife, and myself included, both wanted to begin streaming over on Twitch. Partly because it sounded fun, providing us the opportunity to engage with our viewers - and partly because it would be a new way of obtaining footage for future videos.
But starting a Twitch channel is difficult, and we only averaged 10, maybe 12 viewers the first few streams.
By the end of the first month, we were averaging 50-60 average viewers, and fast forward 6 months we're averaging anywhere from 100-300 viewers, depending on what we happen to stream at the time.
Unfortunately we chose to stream a variety of MMOs to obtain footage for our channel so that has ultimately limited our overall growth, but what we did was utilize our Youtube channel - ahead of the content - in the intro, letting viewers know we stream the game we're talking about.
We utilized the Twitter pages we had grown, the Facebook page we had grown, the Instagram page we had grown. We utilized every method we had - we remain active on every platform because honestly.. they're an amazing way to stay connected with everyone.
But we've grown utilizing the exact methods listed above. We're exactly who we are, we stream 3 times per week: Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday at 3PM EST, we grow and push our stream through our Youtube channel, social media, and.. well we don't stick to a game but we stick to a genre, and that's good enough for us.
With the knowledge above, I guarantee you'll find success in some form streaming. But this is only part 1 of a multi-part series I plan on creating to help you guys grow on Twitch and Youtube.
I plan on covering quite a bit more over the next several months - and if you guys have questions, or suggestions on what I should cover relating to Twitch next, let me know in the comments down below!
