Hey #NotificationSquad and #earlygang! I've made a lot of videos about my new process to growth but realised they are all seperate, wanted to put EVERYTHING in one single video outlining my entire strategy in 2023, with specific examples! Hope you're all having a great mid year! And enjoying the content creation process!

The good thing about KZread vids is that even if you have no viewers at start the vid will be around and get more and more people want thing it over time. A stream is for the moment. I guess best is streaming and making videos.

Step 5 hits hard. I've always loved telling stories and saw streaming as an avenue to express it. The more I get into it the more I love it but I can admit growth has been slow. But hearing "content gets you growth, streaming is the "win/fun" part of it" puts it in the correct perspective. GOING LIVE is the win, everything else is to make that win taste so much sweeter. Good job and love the videos. I know I can kill it and its content like this rthat renforces it over and over.

engaging bright thumbnail, catchy click baity title. you do those two things (i checked out your channel) you will easily have over 1000 subs in two weeks, good luck friend and lmk how it goes

I've recently returned to streaming, I have cerebral palsy and the last few years it has gotten worse and worse so 1 of the big things for me was getting back the confidence to put myself back out there so this will help a lot, thank you :)

I've been trying to apply all your advice on stream planning, and short form content. I feel like I'm finally starting to build a stronger and bigger community here on KZread! Thank you so much for every single video you make! Q1 Topic: Things I've learned and experienced because of playing videogames (tech, friendships, life lessons, etc.) Q2: Value Prop.: I can be very expressive, exaggerated, loud, entertaining and always positive, and at the same time, I can care for someone at a deeper level.

I'm so happy I came across this video. I've seen hundreds of videos all which say just start streaming, be crazy, be insanely good at gaming. But this one really does inform about all the different things we can be doing before we even start streaming wish I found this sooner.

Thank you for these steps!

To anyone reading this and planning to start, this is the sign! You're already one step closer by watching this video. Hoping for everyone's success 🙌

Same here i always wanted to stream too

Thank you so much for this video! This brought me back to realizing that I can’t just be streaming to have actual growth. Thanks as well for getting me to finally start on actually editing the short form content instead of using my clips. Now I just need to hope I can stick to what I want to work on

Your videos have always been really helpful and i was streaming for a while, (couple months), everyday trying to hit affiliate…and never accomplished my goal, even being soooo close one thing killed me; and that was average viewers, it sucked i was sooo close; and didnt know a good way of hitting it and this video makes me want to try again ❤️💯 (dont know if youd pop in at times) but my twitch is the same as my yt; really appreciate your videos and the way you help others

love your content and have been following the last couple weeks and franticly taking notes as im starting this awesome journey myself in 2023. Lots of love!!

I appreciate your videos! I just started out streaming and working on building out a niche around cod warzone & my progression as an average player.

If I had to give a presentation on the fly with out any prep, it would be on anything nursing, or from the concept of games, healing and healthcare. Just completed nursing school so I get easily interested about anything healing in games. Also been a long while since watching your videos again and being on the stream scene, so I’m glad to be on the streaming trail again! Thank you for your content man!

I have learned alot in this video, you have set me straight, this isn't my main account just viewing on it, but when it was getting to the end and the lofi music was happening it all clicked, i love how you tune the music to your tone

LOVE your content as always. finally making the livestream switch from Twitch to KZread, because of the discoverability. Some of my audience isn't keen about the switch, but I have to do what's right for me. I love the advice about having a niche. I didn't do that when I started Twitch, but now I specifically play horror based games, so that I can edit those down into scare compilations!

Thank you for a very educational video. I started my channel back in 2013ish. But had a very long break due to a huge depression. I remember back then it was difficult getting momentum but I did starting to reach an audience that enjoyed my videos. But I was also all over the place, I wanted to do everything at the same time and didn't have patience while trying to hard which in retrospect I now see was me not being true to my self. Consistency is key, and all your tips to reach new potential followers are golden. Thank you!

I stream at least 3 times a week. But for the last two weeks ive had time to stream almost every day and ive slowly been moving into a niche. Skyrim is just too much fun to play on stream. With the lore, glitches, and bugs. And the gameplay in it of itself is amazing. And thats with out mods! Thanks for the videos you make. Theyve been super helpful.

I have a monetized channel and lost motivation because I was "too late" post-pandemic. I kinda knew all this info in the video already, but you executed it so well that this was the video I needed to inspire me to make content again. Thank you ❤

video really helps a lot , I was thinking about getting into content creation & streaming since i work from home already & i planned on streaming 1 day from 12pm-4pm and the next day from 7:30pm-11:30 every single day . People don’t get consistency beats out the “grind” every time.

Your videos are so helpful! Not just the information yoi provide but also it kinda motivates me. I still haven't started doing short form content because I'm still planning it out. I'm trying to build a niche around indie games and for now I'm having a blast just streaming. On twitch sadly but it's because I already build a relationship with many other small streamers on the platform and I don't want to loose it.

Great explenation and great suggestions, not only for small streamers, even for bigger ones that intend to top their reach and keep growing! Content is King!

Loving this video so far. I'm trying to make a go of streaming, but I feel like I'm in for a rough ride making worldbuilding content (or trying to). I definitely need a solid plan.

Out of all the videos I've watched on this topic yours is one of the best, thanks for all the info and look forward to enjoying more of your content

your question of 'speak on a topic 58 minutes, no prep, what would it be' has my mind blown. or my answer to that question at least. i had no idea. i can't really talk about it yet but, damn. that was clutch for me, thanks bro

thanks for these great insights- a year into the streaming game, looking to keep going!

To all this people reading this, keep grinding your channel will make it ❤️

I enjoy your content. I am not actually looking to have streaming be my job. I like to use it to play new games I haven’t played before. These videos have helped me with some information to make streaming more entertaining. Thank you.

LOVE this video bro! I wish more creators were to the point and engaging like you. I am in the shorts phase now for my 2nd channel where I play hearthstone, and I’m having the time of my life. I will use the shorts as “ads” for my longer videos, and then use both as ads for my future livestreams. I figured I should probably have 500 subs before I start live-streaming, but we’ll see!

Using every tip you've taught us. Going to post a short soon. What program do you recommend for editing? Which one do you use for shorts?

I actually needed to hear this. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you so much for your videos they have really helped me finding out, what i want to do with my streaming and videos. I have always loved playing games both streaming them and making videos about them, but I think it is time to try something new. Again thank you so much.

I'm starting to stream and your videos are helping me a lot I have issues on the camera but im shure u coverd that Defenetly the best youtuber about here!!!

Great advice & tips! I rebranded and started from ground zero. So glad to have come across this video 😊

I'm late to the party but I can say I've seen several of your videos and really enjoy it. It's apparent you enjoy what you do. I haven't even owned a computer for years. Recently received a laptop and have a pc+several other things on the way. I plan to start streaming/making videos soon. I'm happy to know, several points you mentioned I've already been doing without realizing it. To start I plan on streaming/recording just 1 simulator. My goal isn't even to become big, just have fun streaming what I'd be doing anyway. My "niche" or "catch" is to start with nearly no knowledge of or experience with the game I'm playing so people can watch me suck and mess up and watch me (hopefully) get better over time. The same applies to my stream. I'll have very little experience with the software I'm streaming with (obs) and with crappy equipment so people can really see me evolve over time. Not set in stone but I'm also considering using NO addons/plug-ins for my game and possibly use keyboard only and not use my gaming controller for a true, real experience the way the game was designed to be played. Maybe this will help show people you CAN game without fancy, expensive add-ons and equipment. Also, since I go by rawkn (pronounced rock-in) I have several phrases I can use with my name. Will this raw, barebones game play and evolving from no knowledge and experience be fun for anyone else? Who knows. Honestly, I just hope to have fun doing it and if I have fun, maybe it'll be contagious and others can have fun. Will anyone read this whole thing I typed? Probably not, but hey I had fun!

Just wanted to say your videos are awesome. I'm new at this and just doing it as a hobby as a way to not be at the bars every night. You make this fun!!!

This is probably the best video I’ve seen that explains everything. Thank you so much

Great video! It’s crazy how much streaming has changed in just 7 months. It’s taking over!

Love your stuff man!! Keep up the good work and thanks for the advice!

Great tips and awesome content! Got a good game plan thanks to some of your tips and you just helped reinforce some things I already had in mind

Thank you for these videos. They are so helpful. Especially on the shorts. That's where I struggle. Just making them engaging. Soke of my tik tok ones get like 800 views but barely any likes. Also what is your streaming chat layout. Its pretty cool.

I risently started streaming on youtube and it has helped me grow my channel so this video has helped understanding streaming a bit more. thank you

Thank you for the advice! I’ll be sure to take these steps going forward.

Can’t agree with you enough! I thought it would be hard to livestream but I started doing long form videos and shorts and now I livestream once a week and average 50-70 views total (peak 8-10) but leaving the stream up and public I gain way more traction and views then a normal video post which is wild! I appreciate your advice! I did learn a little more from this video that I will definitely implement 😊

This helped so much. I stream pokemon on KZread as well and thoroughly enjoyed looking through your challenges 😂

You're the one out here giving legendary advice that if you apply will only lead to growth. I will be trying this on my channel! In 3 years ill send you a check for this!!💪

Amazing tips! The idea of "creating the content for people like me" is the entire reason why I started looking into becoming a content creator! I'm so happy I'm on the right track and I can't wait to get started!

I knew I needed the information in this video when you started saying things that made logical sense, and that my brain was initially resistant to because it will be more work than "Hit the button and stay on for lots of hours". This is the video I was looking for. Really appreciate you being real about the process.

Hiyo, stumbled across your video and just wanted to say thank you! Am a brand new content creater, and your video has given me some insight as well as stuff to think over. Thank you for this, as I basically am just jumping into the water and seeing how things go. So thank you for the video! Have a good one o/

Thank you for the Help!!!! I’m new here and im going to try this 6 steps!

Words will not do me any mercy with how much of a legend you are for this. This is some serious gold.

Thanks for the video bro been struggling for 6 months had to leave my job cuz my dads dying. So thanks for the help I stream full time and it’s been tough for sure.

This video has single-handedly got me out of the WORST slump I’ve ever experienced. I think it’s time to try again. Thanks, Eljay! 🔥

Hello! I am just going to stream for the first time using my laptop (no funds for pc). And still preparing. No idea with editing vids. This vid gives me things to learn.

Your videos help a lot thanks man !

I've always been a believer in being to help each other out in terms of getting better at our craft for example I'm just starting but thanks to the community that I've become a part of I'm learning and growing little by little

Where did you get or create your chat box that is on screen? It is by far the coolest one I have seen and would love something like that. Great video by the way!

With me I like role playing and making characters, as well as just being stupid. I RP on GTA as a character named Mable Appleberry and at first I didnt think much of it but now Im in love with that character and wanna do more. These tips of yours are really gonna gonna help me grow and hopefully more people can have fun with Mable and I!

These videos are SOOOO helpful

Definitely the best of these videos I have ever seen. Great job man

gosh i always love seeing him break it down tbh i hope is to be as awesome as this XD i struggle daily feeling lost in the sauce heck even feeling moviated to do something like this can get to me feeling im not making progress but seeing this vod and really feeling i get a jist of what im being told for it to be put simply is awesome i hope i can just make people laugh with what i do tbh feels like it is all me somedays but i apperiate ya dawg makes me want to dive all in again head strong. hopefully can just have it as a full time job soon and cause people to laugh as much as i do. you a real one dawg

I know that choosing your niche is very important step but the idea of it just kills me inside. Every week I want to do something different and I just don't have fun doing something I'm not in the mood for. I don't know how to get past this problem yet but I know I probably have to if I want to grow. My every attempt to choose a niche goes like this. "I love TTRPGs and worldbuilding so I'll do that. I want to do some art as well and it goes well together so why not. I can also play rpg games because it's mostly the same audience... But they might not necessarily want to watch gameplay. And I also like anime and do some videos about them, well about other non-anime series too. On top of that I would like to be a vtuber..." And so it goes...

You could make 2 channels, one that focuses on media commentary, and one that focuses on TTRPG and art. You can start with anime at first, then slowly start covering other stuff. If people like your anime commentary enough they might watch your commentary of the other stuff. I don't recommend doing it when starting out but it is something you can consider for later. TTRPG and art sounds great. Some ideas for what you could do with it are: You could make streams about designing characters for your TTRPG with input from your viewers. You could stream playing TTRPG with friends, take the best moments and add illustrations for them, and upload them to youtube. Maybe a visual novel-style presentation with backgrounds, character sprites that change expressions and some unique illustrations to elevate those special moments. As you get better with drawing you could maybe add some animations. Add in your shitpost humour. Reference memes and draw them. It'll make your TTRPG content stand out from others and could be your niche. You can also make a story that plays out in your TTRPG streams and TTRPG series to make it more interesting. Also gives people a reason to want to tune in for the next streams and shows, because they want to see what happens next. Think outside the box. You can always create your own niche that combines other things to create something unique. Don't be afraid to experiment.

thanks. good tip about what the thing to do a presentation on for 15 mins with no prep. hip hop would be my topic oldschool to newschool, producers and rappers and everything with it. im a nerd though oldschool runescape is my niche first time streamer wish me luck

love info on the shorts but one thing which seem to be difficult to get right is software choice, how to structure it what key words to use etc. All the ones i have done have done are on Adobe rush that is limited but decent and free. I would be keen to see your process for recording (atm i clip twitch and download losing alot of detail) then put it together with some music off youtube audio library. I try to think of the best key words and title for the short and then post it once im done.

Hey, thanks for this video! Will be implementing these ideas.

Video was much needed 🔥🔥🔥 thanks!

So much good info in this video! Love them all!! Keep up the awesome work 😀

Thanks for the tips. Feel a lot better going into it now.

I focus mostly on twitch, and I am about to release my "first" youtube vid, I see slow but steady growth (although I gained 60 followers from one 20 hour stream lol). But I am going to start applying a lot of these to hopefully see some more drastic growth, and see you at the top 😉 lol

I love these tips and now wonder why I am lacking creativity to think of these initially. Thanks!

This is super helpful, thank you!

I've done KZread and streaming (on Twitch) since 2015. I have made many mistakes over the years, probably all of the mistakes you can make. But somehow I still have this passion for it. Before I used to not care about following the trends and was lazy with titles and thumbnails. Always thought it just took the right people to find my content. I've been looking into starting a new channel with new ideas lately and this popped up on my feed. You make great content with great advice. Thank you for being awesome!

I like to stream shooters and minecraft. Im brand new to this so its nice to see some tips on how to do things right. ill definitely figure out youtube shorts now that I know thats the first step to getting an audience

this is extremely helpful man, thanks.

I always like the idea of starting streaming - I love games, and music, my current hobby is DJ'in and producing music. Is there scope to combine both, but like you say have a content map for it?

NGL this vid has inspired me to pick up streaming again. Gained a new subscriber dammm it works

I started streaming on KZread instead of Twitch after a few years of hiatus and I'm glad I seem to have made a good decision (≧∀≦) Thanks for the wonderfully grounded, actionable advice ❤

Thank you for this information!!

Thanks for the tips! Still working on building my brand myself and a niche can be hard to find being a variety gamer but I’m gonna continue to push out what I can and keep being me! The hope is people will eventually like me and what I’m saying more than the game I’m playing. I’m still working on and getting better with every video being comfortable on camera and having my commentary be funny/good and add to the video but I have faith that with time and good continuous content and motivation it’ll happen!

You're making my day an 8/10, and hopefully will make my streaming 10/10

Hey Eljay I love the videos. I had a question though, you talk about making KZread videos as a progression from short form content, what video editors and techniques do you use when making videos?

2:24 This is the route i took back in 2016 and still do it in 2023. Its not a road that will necessarily have you grow faster but i didnt care how fast i grew my content . i live a simple life and i wanted to continue that stress free life in my content making as well . Happiness will always trump Stress :) Definitely make yourself happy first. Your viewers will see that and will wanna watch a happy streamer
