Becoming a successful streamer on Twitch is a combination of several factors where luck is one of them.
If we are lucky enough to receive the hoste of a great streamer, we can quickly acquire a large number of followers who, over time, can become subscribers.
But, to get to have that luck, in the first place, if you want grow on Twitch from scratch, we must follow all the advice that I show you below.
If your team is bad, don't try it
What users value most when staying on a stream is video and audio quality. If the video quality is very low and the sound is choppy, you will not be able to retain users who find your channel.
From a PlayStation or Xbox you can transmit with a more than acceptable quality, although it does not exceed 720p.
If, on the other hand, you use a computer, you will need a more powerful equipment, not only to run the games, but also to transmit the video and audio signal.
If you want to grow on Twitch, the first thing you should do is try streaming and then see the quality of your stream. if you see that you do not meet minimum standards that you don't even like, you should think about investing in a more powerful team.
Fill out your entire profile
Your Twitch profile is your business card. Through your profile, all the people who come to your channel can quickly find out who you are, what you play, what's your name, how long you've been streaming, what team you have, your hobbies...
No one likes, or has the patience, to ask the streamer to learn more about him. If you like what you see, will follow you. If you haven't completed your profile, it will most likely go to another channel.
Getting one more follower is the first step so that, in the future, they can become a faithful follower and subscribe to your channel, which is, after all, the goal of every streamer.
Organize your content
Many are the streamers who only broadcast a certain game, either Fornite, League of Legends, Valorant, Call of Duty, PUBG, Dota 2… Focusing your content on a single type of game will allow you to capture the interest of people who like that game.
If one day you decide to change to another title, it is more than likely that a large part of the community, go to another streamer. If you want that not to happen, the best thing you can do is divide the duration of your stream into several parts, in which the content will be different.
You don't necessarily have to focus your content on streaming games. Twitch is a platform where you can also pass on your hobbies like painting, drawing, art of any kind, how you repair electronic devices, your sports routines, cooking...
On Twitch there is room for everything. But, If you want to reach as many people as possible, it is best to focus your activity on streaming the most popular games on the platform and find a way to create different content that makes you stand out.
Analyze Twitch numbers
Like any other business, the number of followers, views, audience of each stream It tells us if we are doing it right or not.
If you broadcast more than one different game, we need to analyze which of the two games is having more success with your audience, in order to increase the number of hours of the title that offers us the best numbers.
Notify your streams
When we start broadcasting on Twitch, all users who have notifications turned on they receive a message in which they are informed that we have started a new stream.
But, you can not only trust this platform as many users disable them. You must support yourself in the most popular social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
It is also advisable to open an account in TikTok to hang the most spectacular clips of your streams.
Stay in touch with your community
Discord is the ideal platform for keep in touch with your followers and subscribers. On Discord you can create different channels to:
- Inform your followers of new broadcasts.
- Of the new videos available on YouTube or TikTok.
- That users in your community can search for people to play with.
- That your users can contact you directly.
Even if you are a small streamer, forget about use your phone number so that they can contact you via WhatsApp.
Be constant
When someone starts following you, they do so because they like your content and wants to enjoy it again other days.
You set a fixed schedule every day, a schedule that you should try to respect in order not to make your followers dizzy. If one day you stream and the next two days you take them off, you will never succeed.
In the profile page you must set the times in which you stream. Even if you are new, you will not grow faster if you stream every day without resting, so you should consider taking at least one day off.
Take advantage of the launch of new games
Every time a long-awaited title is launched on the market, there are many users who looking for streamers who play it to see how it is, ask his opinion, if it's worth it...
If you have the opportunity to take advantage of one of these releases, do not miss the opportunity, as long as you are one of the first to transmit it.
Best times to stream on Twitch
The Spanish-speaking community is made up of some 400 million people worldwide, most of them are in Latin America.
If you broadcast in the mornings from Spain, the opportunities to reach a greater number of people are greatly reduced, since the Latin American audience is sleeping.
The best time to stream, if you speak Spanish, it is the afternoon and extend it until the night. In this way, it is easier to reach both the Spanish public and the Latin American public.
Patience is a virtue

Everyday thousands of people stream on Twitch and not everyone is looking for new streamers to follow.
you must seek be patient and analyze your channel numbers month by month to check if you are doing it right or if you have to make a change to improve.
