Why Small Streamer Fail
Let me tell you that I am a small streamer myself. I am not going to tell you that itsn’t easy to grow a audience. It takes alot of work and determination to put yourself out internet world. You all see successful streamers like Amouranth, Kai Cenat, Ishowspeed and along with many others. As an small streamer, you want to be same level as them. Sorry to break it to you, itsn’t simple on what you think. Streamers put years of work went going to school and having a full time job. They network with the right people and was apart of their community. Discord server, interaction on social media and just being in their chat. Streaming is the way get out of your 9-5 job. The ad revenue is not stable.
You want the best equipment out there to make your stream look pretty. Maintain Income to achieve that. Some small streamers I know work 9 to 5 and don’t like it. They stream to escape outside world and I don’t blame them. Us small streamers are very entertaining like larger streamers without chaotic chat. Twitch chat that streamer welcomes new viewers. There are some bad actors who intended to ruin streaming platforms, with any forms of hate. That’s why Twitch Adpoclypse comes in, us small streamers is feeling the burn from it. You may some earn wanting go pursue it full time. Others wants to stream as a hobby and respect them for it.
Small Streamer Communities
Small streamer chat, it makes my day and cheers me up inside. You can talk to a streamer on the lastest game, food, tv shows and more. What about their sub-thon (congrats to Ironmouse for that)? Streamers give back to their community. I conmend them for helping those looking for a better tomorrow. What about your social media presences? I will talk about myself for a minute. My social media presences is not great. I get little engagement on Twitter, Blue Sky and many other social media platform. Small streamers use Tik Tok get more followers and expoure.
I don’t want to compare myself with other success. One streamer says that “everyone journey is different” and that’s valid point. My journey is not like everyone else and I don’t want fast growth. My content has improved over the years. I have fun and enjoy interacting with viewers. Go ahead and make fun of my speech or how I look. I been having a thick skin and got used to bullying alot growing up. Realize that turning negativity into my strength always works. There are small communities who will welcome me in their chat.
Should I Give Up
Some people get jealous of female streamer. I haven’t got Twitch Affiliate yet. They work hard to get number of followers, affiliate and community. Highly doubt them one bit, they deserve every follow, bits and raids. I remember playing Genshin Impact and had a huge raid along with a donation. I was very happy and continue to stream and meet amazing people. There is some bad apples in streaming. Who cares, be you and worry your own success in streaming industry. I am happy to keep going in my journey.
I believe we as small streamers can do it like Shia Lebeouf playing “just do it“! Listen streaming is not for everyone and some people love their jobs. There was one streamer who quit to become a Chef at restaurant. Streaming can be draining. Yes, I felt like giving up on streaming sometimes. You spend hours and hours perfecting your craft and getting the right setting on OBS. Not getting results, don’t give up. Listen gaming is a hard niche to getting into and I am not saying “you should pursue this. You have to stand out from the rest of the pack. Just like a ugly ducking or black sheep in the farm.
Closing
Proud to say “I like being small right now and can’t handle the pressure of being full time right now”. I have been doing streaming for years. I do have a discord server for small streamers or content creator can join up. In mu journey I hope to connect with other small streamers to collab and network with. My work schedule collapse with streaming . I used to work 3 days a week not its 5. In this streaming journey, I hope to build a community around it and keep going.
