Play and Stream a Game Based on Your Viewer Count<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To attract viewers, you might be tempted to Twitch stream the most popular games, like League of Legends, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Minecraft, Valorant, Grand Theft Auto V, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in doing so, you\u2019ll be competing against hundreds of renowned Twitch streamers with an established streaming channel. A few viewers watching streams might be interested in checking out new streamers playing these games, but it\u2019s not very likely.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girl-Playing-PC-Games-Using-RGB-Keyboard-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Girl Playing PC Games Using RGB Keyboard\" class=\"wp-image-6209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girl-Playing-PC-Games-Using-RGB-Keyboard.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girl-Playing-PC-Games-Using-RGB-Keyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Girl-Playing-PC-Games-Using-RGB-Keyboard-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This doesn't mean that you should live stream unpopular or obscure games. What you <em>can <\/em>do is stream games based on your viewer count and tweak your stream schedule to obtain more Twitch viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either find traditional games with a cult following or fall back on old AAA games that were blockbusters when they were released and are still in demand. Though this will let you gain more followers, this is a time-consuming activity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to save time and find titles you <em>should<\/em> stream, you can try out <a href=\"https:\/\/twitchstrike.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><u>TwitchStrike<\/u><\/a>. This streaming platform will help you find the right game for your potential viewers and adjust your streaming schedule to get more Twitch viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Research_and_Learn_from_Your_Competition\"><\/span>2. Research and Learn from Your Competition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After selecting the game you\u2019d like to broadcast and play, it\u2019s time for you to do some recon and learn from other streamers to understand what\u2019s working for the Twitch audience and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to Twitch, find the \u2018Browse\u2019 option located in the top-left corner, and search for your game under \u2018Categories.\u2019&nbsp; You\u2019ll now have access to all the Twitch channels streaming the game you want to play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can filter the channels from low to high or high to low based on their viewer count. Researching the channels with no or very few followers will assist you in recognizing what\u2019s not working.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, usually, the posts from channels with zero or very few viewers don\u2019t have any interesting graphics, or the hosts are not very interactive. Similarly, by watching the most popular channels, you\u2019ll realize how you can engage many viewers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Make_Your_Twitch_Channel_Discoverable\"><\/span>3. Make Your Twitch Channel Discoverable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you set up your channel, it's time to take steps to make your channel discoverable for new viewers. Unfortunately, there are no systems in place in Twitch to help discover a new streamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to this, you must gradually build your online presence on other platforms and add the link to your Twitch for more viewers. Through this, you can easily build your Twitch following and earn an affiliate status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube is a popular platform where you can showcase your gaming skills and gain a loyal following. This doesn\u2019t mean that building your brand on YouTube will be easy. Being uber popular, YouTube is also very competitive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can use YouTube\u2019s search results to rank your YouTube channel.

To post quality content, find out what people are looking for. You can use YouTube\u2019s search feature for this and do some recon into the most popular channels based on the top two search keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly beat the established, popular channels, ensure that your content is unique and your title relates to the keywords. You can also use sources like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><u>TubeBuddy<\/u><\/a> to grow your YouTube channel\u2019s presence.

It\u2019s your responsibility to entertain your audience while they stream your videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Male-Player-Using-Red-LED-Lights-Gaming-Keyboard-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Male Player Using Red LED Lights Gaming Keyboard\" class=\"wp-image-6211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Male-Player-Using-Red-LED-Lights-Gaming-Keyboard.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Male-Player-Using-Red-LED-Lights-Gaming-Keyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Male-Player-Using-Red-LED-Lights-Gaming-Keyboard-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Provide the people watching with running commentary and interact with them to make them feel valued.

For your repeat paid or premium subscribers, you can give them a shoutout and even invite them to play with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a loyal Twitch team will let you gain name and fame in the gaming community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Enhance_the_Appearance_of_Your_Twitch_Stream\"><\/span>5.

Create Your Own Discord Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For newbie streamers, a Discord channel is a powerful tool since it offers a wide range of communication options, including text and voice messages, stickers, emojis, GIFs, and memes. It\u2019s a great digital space to interact with and talk to your fans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the most of your Discord server, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/techwiser.com\/how-to-create-setup-and-use-forums-channel-on-discord\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><u>create various forum channels<\/u><\/a> for specific purposes.

Reward Your Loyal Audience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a part of the Twitch affiliate, you can reward your fans with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/how-to-set-up-twitch-channel-points\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Twitch channel points<\/u><\/a>. You can even <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitch.tv\/s\/article\/channel-points-guide?language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><u>personalize your channel points<\/u><\/a> with a cool Twitch name or icon.

For instance, for viewers who\u2019ve been with you every step of the way or spent a lot of time viewing your channel, you can reward them with custom Twitch channel points.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Points are not the only way to reward your loyal followers. You can also reward them by letting them choose your channel\u2019s theme music or inviting them to play with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Stream_Regularly_to_Acquire_New_Viewers\"><\/span>8. Stream Regularly to Acquire New Viewers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to beat other streamers playing the same game, you need to go live several times a week and stream on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintain a consistent time slot and be especially active during after-office and school hours. Being consistent with your streams will let your viewers adjust their personal schedules based on your future streams. There\u2019s a very high chance that early mornings and late night time slots will let you acquire many more viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable consistency and inform the Twitch audience at large, you can add your streaming time slots using your <strong>Creator Dashboard<\/strong>.
