Using examples from what he did when he first started out, the Canadian streamer opened up and gave some advice on what budding broadcasters should be doing. xQc explained the importance of early discovery The popular Twitch streamer was playing No Man\u2019s Sky, when he replied to someone in chat that had asked him a question about starting out as streamer. \u201cBasically the way you should see it, the difference between 2k viewers and 20k, is not nearly as big as the difference between zero viewers and five viewers,\u201d he said.

Are you just going to give them dog shit? No.\u201d The Overwatch pro then followed with advice on self promotion in the early discovery phase of starting out. \u201cPosting on places like forums, that\u2019s fine dude\u201d. But then cautioned new streamers from shameless self promotion, as it doesn\u2019t pay off in the long run. \u201cIf you want some dog shit tips on how to grow your stream, plugging your own stream is really bad, because anything you gain out of it will be out of disdain. People won\u2019t like you. They will just tell you to fuck off.\u201d xQc then recalled how he would practice streams early on with a single viewer, so that he could improve and interact with someone while streaming. \u201cA good way to do it, I wanted to stream just to practice, I just wanted to do it. But I wanted to have at least one viewer, so I could at least have someone to interact with.\u201d He then took some time to detail his own beginnings as a streamer, and what he did to help build up his audience. \u201cLet\u2019s say I was like on a League forum or trading forum. I would post my stream on my own Facebook.\u201d xQc continued by saying that sharing your stream with people that already know you can build the beginning foundations of your audience. \u201cI posted it on my League group that I was a part of. And I posted in places that people were already tuned into. I posted my stream to people that were already sort of with me. That were there on purpose. And even though you think it might not matter, it does.\u201d xQc is one of the top streamers on Twitch, with just under 1.5 million followers on the platform as of August 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
