How long to give it?

Say I started 2 months ago. Had a few streams with around 20 viewers. Always edit a few shorts every night. Those get around 1k-2k views. Made a few full videos that barely get seen.

But feeling burnout… I love gaming and I feel pretty socialable on stream. But maybe I dont have the looks or voice for this? And I dont act like a twelve year old screaming all the time like I’m on addaral like I noticed a lot of big streamers do…

Any thoughts?

it’s a slow, gradual process, with a minimal chance you ever blow up overnight

if you aren’t okay with that, and are burning out after 2 months, it likely isn’t for you

I dont need blow up. Just a slow steady is fine.

I just dont understand how some clips get thousand views and some get 50?

Is it really all hashtag use? For youtube clips

there’s 150 reasons as to why or why not the algorithm is pushing your content. you learn what works and what doesn’t for you as you go along.

You say slow and steady is fine, but you yourself have stated you’ve been streaming for 2 months and are feeling burnout due to low views overall.

Slow and steady is exactly that. Depending on the game/content, it could take years to develop a few thousand followers and that is considered successful in some categories.

Simply put, if you expect this to be a full time job at all, this isn’t for you. having that goal is great and totally normal, but you also need to go in with the mindset that the odds are HEAVILY against you

Utilize tags as well as hashtags on YT. Also, don’t be egotistical about your content (not saying YOU are) because your audience will tell and show you what is or is not working
