I've recently started streaming Hearthstone/Diablo and realized that I absolutely love the ability to game with viewers. After doing a lot of research, I couldn't find one specific site dedicated to just streamers and shoutcasters. I've decided it would be awesome to try and get more involved with the community by creating this resource myself as I learn things many of you might know, but some might not!
My ultimate goal is create a place where both newbies can be directed but veterans will feel it valuable enough to still around and share their experiences. I've had lots of experience running websites with podcasts based around them and definitely would want to make a regular podcast part of the value as well. Lots of ideas, but I could use some help.
Here is the splash page if anyone is interested, (and the Facebook group) but I could use some help planning out the content. From all I've read here, it seems like the best advice to new streamers is to be consistent, always chat with audience and network as much as possible. Here are some questions I know of:
* How do I grow my audience?
* When did you get your first big break?
What other questions do you wonder about or think streamers might have? I appreciate any help given as I'm pretty excited to get this thing rolling. I hope it'll be valuable so feedback of any kind is most welcome!
from most i see, a lot either are complete douchbags, or never answer any questions in chat. streamers seem to forget that the people that watch them are giving them money. through either donations or just by viewing a commercial.
Theres a crusader streamer who is very good and very informative, with his builds... he could be one of the top streamers, but he is such a douchbag that a lot of people can't watch him.
as for your questions, without a bomb (another top streamer in that game niche telling his stream to go watch you) it takes months to get known. You just have to pick a time and keep to it. every. single. day. and if you are entertaining you will get more and more viewers.
The fastest person i've ever seen grow into a big streamer is GiG. (good idea gaming)
He is extremely entertaining for people like myself who have a weird sense of humor for penis jokes. But he is also very helpful to people in his stream.
